[Tracen Academy] Seeking the Pearl

Support card art for [Tracen Academy] Seeking the Pearl R Guts

Tier D. A bare-bones R Guts card that fills a career-mode slot until literally anything better shows up, and nothing else.

This is a vanilla R Guts support, which puts it at the very bottom of the deck-building pool. Friendship Bonus tops out at 20% at Lv40, Mood goes to 25%, and Specialty Priority climbs to 50. No unique effect. An actual SSR Guts card pairs a real friendship bonus with a unique that scales training gains or motivation, so the gap here isn’t close.

Guts is a niche stat to begin with. It earns its keep up to around 300, stays serviceable to roughly 500, then drops off hard. You almost never want a full slot on it unless you’re patching a gap, and inside that narrow use case an SR or SSR Guts beats this every time.

The hint kit is the only thing going for it. You get Pace Strategy, Sprint Straightaways ○, Unyielding Spirit, Sprinting Gear, plus Firm Conditions ○ and Watchful Eye. Event skills are Straight Course ○ and Uma Stan. A sprint-flavored bundle that’s fine for seeding a couple of cheap hints early on.

  • Pro: cheap sprint hints with zero pull or LB cost
  • Con: 20% friendship ceiling, no unique, off-meta stat focus

Run it as free starter filler before you’ve built real Guts coverage. Don’t waste pulls or limit-break mats on it. The second an SR/SSR Guts or stamina card lands, this comes out.
