It actually isn't that bad as long as you aren't stressing about trying to get the Special Ending. It can be quite taxing to get the special end though, trying to work the extra couple song buys in can be difficult depending on rng and resource management. Also, you don't have as long to do it as you think. You have to have 18 songs BEFORE December in Senior year, in other words, before the event where Light Hello teaches you Girls Legend U. You will know you did it right if the text after she gives it to you says "You feel like the next concert will be something Special" with the special being in the scenario colors.
As a heads up, yes the Chain Event increase is basically the Cat food of this scenario. Its a complete scam and barely impacts the amount of Support Chain events you get even if you stack it to high levels. Plus the amount of guaranteed gold skills in this scenario provided you have Light Hello's SSR helps mitigate this as you get one from her recreations, one from whoever you pick at the end (probably Tachyon), and one from getting the special ending concert.
If you have her grab nishino flower SSR card that has beeline burst as the gold skill. Because that card has a HIGH chance of giving you charming so you can pop off rainbows quicker. (If you guys find a better card for charming lmk!!!)
Only friendship training songs are must-buy. Skill point gain songs as well. Training stat gain are bad – only buy if there are no friendship, sp gain. The reason is that juicy +2 spd gain bonus is just +2. It's not affected by friendship training
Do we really need the light hello tho? I did a run evidently picking another deck with 3sp 3wit cards and got my first Ug Uma. I manage my energy good and I don't have a problem with the songs I got the bonus song and everything. What am I missing?
a quick reminder addition, since Grand Live also uses URA Finale races too (3 last races), make sure you MUST hit FAN REQUIREMENT in each phase (valentine/fan fest after second inspo/christmas) to gain your uma ult leveled up. Dont forget to mind your akikawa gauge, make sure she is in green level to allow you get skill up in fan fest period
Since you're training 99% of the time (which is why this scenario is so much superior to MANT), every time you see an Energy Refill, make sure to hold until you can refill it. People say it's a situational purchase, but I'd say it's pretty good to always be high in energy. (More Energy = Less time resting and more time training)
In the early game, while Friendship training on your stronger cards is important (Kitasan, Tachyon, Finemo…) to spam out as quickly as possible, finding Light Hello in there is majorly important. Not only does she cut training energy requirements by almost 50%, but she also has a 45% chance of triggering 'Alcoholism', as I named it, which gives you extra scenario tokens (+20 of the ones you have the least of) and some stats. Ofc, if there's a turn with 3 of your main cards, you pick that over a 1 card + Light Hello.
Song choice depends on the uma. If you're running a pacer, Speed, Stamina and Power, Front, Speed Power Wit ect. ALWAYS prioritize Training Effectiveness before anything else. If you can get up to 20-30% before the first summer event, you can reap a lot of stats if you get lucky. I'd avoid the Event Chain one if you can help it. It doesn't matter that much unless you're generally unlucky with cards not finishing their events and giving you the skills (I'm looking at you Kitasan)
As for the smaller techniques, I like to pick ones that don't spend too much of one currency unless I have an abundance of it. This is because I can run into a song with 10% friendship training effectiveness before the 'Power Spike' period right at the end of a section and not have enough to actually get it. Be mindful of this as it can dictate how good your run is.
Skill point Gain and Skill Points in general are important. An average run (With MLB Tachyon) can get you upwards of 2200+, but choosing to get skill point gain is still lower in priority in songs than getting that effectiveness up. You don't pick songs for the top effect, but the bottom one.
Light Hello for this event is simply Riko if she were competent and an alcoholic. As the video said, she's a must-have for this scenario and generally you'd want her at SSR+1, but even LB0 is fine enough, but unlike Riko, the MLB R version is simply not usable. Tachyon is a Tier0 for this scenario and falls off after, but if you have MLB, that falloff doesn't matter since she'll be perma-glued into your deck at that point. (80 Prio, 2+ Skill Point Gain… Intimidating Evil Horse)
You forgot to mention that in order to get the golden scenario skill you mist have learned AT LEAST 18 songs before the Arima Kinen turn, or else you’re getting nothing (rip UG2 suzuka)
im glad this is a good beginner guide but i hope ppl realize just how insanely broken the friendship bonus songs are and do not follow that priority list
The other notable thing (I don't recall hearing, but attention deficit stronk so I might've missed it) is that after each concert event (Late December/June), you ideally want to be on a song rather than a stats-only set. This is because there's a pattern that increases the amount of stat buys between songs that resets after every concert, but only when you buy your next song. So if you're really pushing, buy a song right before the concert, you might get stuck with four stat buys before your next song, as opposed to just one. Holding a song intentionally can be a strat if you don't have enough tokens to breeze through the following trainings.
Flat stats training bonus is trash, it JUST adds +1/2/3 stat WITHOUT scaling it with anything. Just a nickel for nothing, focus only friendship bonus, and alot, above anything including SP bonus, as you really focus on friendships, so SP is not a problem at all
167. 167 pulls to light hello. event maxed, unable to do Training the Trainer. banner leaves soon. free pulls on steampunk banner. no light hello. no ssrs since pull 40.
This is the first scenario where A. I actually got the meta cards and build and B. I actually understood what was good and how to play the scenario effectively on my own. I am very proud of myself.

One thing to note is to try to get 80+ friendship on your highest specialty priority support card. It helps a lot.
Is it good to use light hello lb0
is Light Hello any good at 2 copies?

evil hello:
Hi
18 songs by the end won't garuntee a gold skill mind you, it's just very likely (I think odds are about 80/90%). More songs is more likely.
You beg Light Hello to call you a good boy and give you money
I would say speciality prio is more important that friendship bonus.
So it's purely for whales.
Dark goodbye
But if i set to independent training they win all races no matter i set them to run.
This scenario SUCKS

I still feel like I just don’t get why training feels so bad here
Maybe I’m just a feeble unity cup enjoyer

Love how I got this guide only after getting my first ever UG Uma as an f2p
You forgot to mention that in order to get the golden scenario skill you mist have learned AT LEAST 18 songs before the Arima Kinen turn, or else you’re getting nothing (rip UG2 suzuka)
Got a light hello OFF RATE UP in teio wit banner with a single ticket. Yeah luck is random
My brain’s still been rotted by trackblazer 😭
I tho i was watching PanCake video…
After watching several 30 minute plus guides, this is actually a fantastic guide for a short. Thanks for helping new players!
You got some tips on how to get the "I wanna win with you" skill? I just wanna get the support card.
.. the song priority order is exactly backward
im glad this is a good beginner guide but i hope ppl realize just how insanely broken the friendship bonus songs are and do not follow that priority list

Wait the final song acqurable on after 18 songs at the end of career?
I think i got it on first try without knowing the mechanic of grand concert
