Analysis
Section titled “Analysis”Tier D. A bare-bones R Guts card with no unique and floor-tier bonuses. Bench it the second any SR or SSR Guts shows up.
This is the freebie R Guts support you start with and toss out fast. No unique effect. The bonuses sit right at the rarity floor: Friendship Bonus caps at 15%, Mood Effect at 25%, Training Effectiveness a sad 5%, and one measly point of Guts at Lv40. Initial Friendship Gauge tops out at 25, which barely nudges your starting bond. None of that drives rainbow Guts training the way you actually want.
The only flicker of value is Go with the Flow as a support skill, backed by a hint pool covering Pace Strategy, Up-Tempo, the End Closers pair, Medium Straightaways, and Groundwork. Solid recovery and positioning hints on paper. Problem is you’d burn a whole deck slot to chase them, and hints only fire often once the card is leveled. Leveling means pouring limit breaks into an R, which nobody should do.
Guts is the slot most builds either skip or fill with one strong card. This loses to every SR and SSR Guts option in the game, and you’re only running a single Guts slot to begin with.
- Pro: free, hint list isn’t terrible, fine for your very first career runs before the box fills out.
- Con: zero unique, floor bonuses, anemic starting bond, pure filler against any higher-rarity Guts support.
Park it as a placeholder. The moment a real Guts card lands, this one goes back in the drawer.
