Support Banners

There are two kinds of desirable cards:

Cards that give good skills, where you only need one or two copies (like Yukino Bijin)
Cards that you use to raise your stats, where you want them MLB (like Kitasan Black)

Some cards can fulfill either role, like Super Creek.

Rules of thumb:

If you need the card MLB, you should have two pities before pulling on that banner.
If it’s a skill card, pull with one pity ready, but stop once you get the card.
Banners with two SSRs are generally better, since random off-rate SSRs are usually worse than strong SRs.

Support Card Banner History

Date	Banner	Summary
Aug. 28th, 2025	Kawakami Princess + Akebono	Skip. Kawakami’s gold is generically good in Team Trials, but the card itself is rather weak. The skill does get buffed later on and the white becomes desirable on Front Runners, so you could use this to get a parent with it easier, I guess? You’d want to raise that parent in Scenario 2 though. Akebono has the other skill that Front Runners will want in a year. But, this card is also not good. Strategy note: Later update adds speed boosts while moving left/right. Dodging Danger triggers instantly, sending you to the edge of the track, then Prudent Positioning/Aoharu Wisdom zooms you back to the fence for an early lead. Whites are used for this, not the golds. Example clip. Welfare: Mejiro Dober SSR from the event — slightly weaker than MLB SR, consistent gold for Late Surgers in Team Trials. In the next scenario, Team Trials builds will generally be 4 Wit 2 Speed. It also has 10% Race Bonus which is valuable in Scenario 3.
Aug. 20th, 2025	Sakura Chiyono O + Seeking The Pearl SR	Skip. 15% Race Bonus at MLB. That’s about it. If you want a Stamina card pull on the Creek banner instead. The SR is also bad, but if she shows up randomly in your run you’ll be happy to have the +30 energy.
Aug. 11th, 2025	Super Creek + Tazuna Hayakawa	Very Strong Skill+Training Card. Best banner to pull on for a while. Tazuna: Tazuna has some longevity, being runnable in the next two scenarios, and Concentration is a great skill in Team Trials. If you’re a Bourbon enjoyer, the skill makes Bourbon’s unique more consistent too. And if you’re a Taishin enjoyer, she makes dealing with Taishin’s lung hemorrhage a lot easier. If you like doing weird things, Tazuna is part of an interesting double- or triple-friend build during the second scenario: Creek: Unlimited lifespan, still being usable on the JP server five years later. All the pick tickets you get in the future will generally go to upping your Creek’s limit breaks (aside from ones used early on your Kitasan if you’re in that situation). Creek is both a great skill card and a great training card. Having even one copy will let you avoid borrowing her to get a great Gold Recovery, and having more copies will make her very strong at raising Stamina. In particular, she has no starting bond at the lower limit breaks, which makes her kind of awkward. But, you can upgrade her bit by bit as time goes on, and any copies you get here will just make that process happen quicker.
Aug. 3rd, 2025	Yaeno Muteki + Zenno Rob Roy SR	Okay Skill Card. This is a decent Team Trials card, with level 4 hints and a generic gold. She also gives two Late Surger debuffs on her first event chain, and both Tail Held High and Playtime’s Over are good skills for parents to have. Not a card you’ll miss if you don’t have it, but a card you could find some use for if you do. Or you can just borrow it for parent runs if you do those. Rob Roy is not really notable.
Jul 27th, 2025	Yukino Bijin + Nishino Flower SR	Good Skill Card. Not a terrible banner to roll on, despite its appearances. Bijin’s not much better than an SR, but her skill gets buffed later and becomes very potent. Having one copy of her will let you avoid borrowing her. If you have a favourite uma, and that uma is not good, running her as a Late Surger in Champions Meeting with Bijin’s skill is a way to get some wins no matter who it is. The Nishino SR is also top tier in scenario 3 (she has 15% Race Bonus), but that’s a long ways away.
