Speed
Analysis
Section titled “Analysis”Tier C. Fine as Speed bench-filler before your SSRs show up, but it’s nothing you’d ever pull or build around.
Speed is the most fought-over deck slot in the game, so an SR here gets graded hard. The numbers are perfectly respectable for the rarity. Friendship Bonus tops out at 20%, Mood Effect lands at 30%, and Training Effectiveness reaches 10% by Lv45. Starting bond is generous too: 30 Initial Friendship Gauge plus +20 Initial Speed means you’re rainbow-ing on the Speed tile sooner. The Lv25 unique is the real draw, stacking +15 Mood Effect and +20 Specialty Priority so more rolls land on Speed and your mood multiplier works harder. For a thin f2p box, that pulls actual weight.
Then the SR ceiling shows up. That 20% Friendship against an SSR’s 25% is a chunk of stat gain you feel by the end of a run. The hints lean utility (Lay Low, Calm in a Crowd, plus Lone Wolf) with no real proc to chase, and the two training events are basically the same entry twice, handing you small flat stats and an I Can See Right Through You hint. Worst of all, zero energy recovery. That’s the exact lane where Eishin Flash and friends leave it behind.
- Pros: strong Mood/Specialty unique, fast bond, solid initial Speed, 10% training effectiveness
- Cons: 20% Friendship cap, filler hints, no energy events, copy-paste training events
Slot it when your Speed bench is empty. Bench it the second a real SSR arrives, and never spend to get it.
