[Tracen Academy] Nishino Flower
R
Speed
Analysis
Section titled “Analysis”Tier D. Pure early-Career filler. The day any SR or SSR Speed card lands, this one rides the bench.
Every R Speed card is starter scaffolding, and Nishino Flower is exactly that. You run her for your first handful of Career attempts and forget she exists once the box fills out. The stats spell it out. Friendship Bonus caps at 15%. Mood Effect reaches 25%, Hint Frequency climbs to a genuinely useful 40% by Lv40, and the Initial Friendship Gauge sits at 25. Speed Bonus is a flat 1. Training Effectiveness tops out at a sad 5%. R cards also stop at Lv40, so none of the deeper post-40 scaling that SR and SSR cards keep earning.
The hint list does her no favors. She teaches positional and condition skills (Hanshin Racecourse, Standard Distance, Firm Conditions, Pace Chaser Corners, Updrafters). All of it situational, none of it swinging a race. No unique effect, no event skills. You’re getting raw training bonuses and basically nothing else.
The competition is what sinks her. Pull any SR Speed card and you get a fatter Friendship Bonus, real Training Effectiveness, plus a unique effect she flat-out doesn’t have. SSRs like Kitasan Black aren’t even a conversation.
- Pros: that 40% Hint Frequency is real, she’s free, cheap to slot in before your rainbows come online.
- Cons: 15% Friendship cap, flat 1 Speed, no unique, hard Lv40 ceiling, hint list you’ll never miss.
Don’t waste limit breaks or pulls chasing her. Bench the second a proper Speed card walks in.
