Synergy Considerations

Beyond individual card strength, synergy between cards can dramatically impact performance. Our compatibility calculator analyzes these relationships automatically.

Positive Synergies

• Same character cards
• Complementary stat bonuses
• Matching event types
• Similar rarity levels

Negative Factors

• Conflicting event triggers
• Overlapping bonus types
• Stat distribution imbalances
• Rarity mismatches

Advanced Optimization Techniques

Event Optimization

Maximizing event triggers is crucial for training efficiency. Different support cards have varying event trigger rates and types that can significantly impact your training outcomes.

Event Trigger Priority

Prioritize cards with high event trigger rates (80%+) for your core team. These provide consistent training bonuses and skill points throughout the training period.

High Trigger Cards

• Speed Star SSR (85%)
• Stamina Master SSR (80%)
• Power Boost SSR (75%)
• Guts Warrior SSR (70%)

Event Type Coverage

• Training events
• Skill acquisition
• Stat enhancement
• Condition recovery

Stat Distribution Analysis

Understanding how stats are distributed and synergize is key to building effective teams. Our advanced calculator provides detailed stat distribution analysis.

Primary Stat Focus

Allocate 40-50% of your support cards to your primary race stat for maximum effectiveness.

Secondary Balance

Distribute remaining cards between secondary stats based on race requirements and horse girl characteristics.

Utility Integration

Include 1-2 utility cards for skill enhancement or special abilities that complement your strategy.

Performance Metrics

Track and analyze your team performance using key metrics to continuously optimize your support card selections.

Training Efficiency

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overlooking Card Synergies

Many players focus solely on individual card power without considering how cards work together. Always use our compatibility calculator to check team synergy before finalizing your composition.

Ignoring Event Coverage

Cards with low event trigger rates can significantly reduce your training efficiency. Ensure adequate event coverage across your team for consistent progress.

Force-Fitting High-Rarity Cards

High-rarity cards aren't always the best choice. Sometimes lower-rarity cards with perfect synergy can outperform individually powerful but incompatible cards.

Neglecting Race Type Requirements

Different race types require different stat distributions. A team optimized for short races may perform poorly in long-distance events. Always consider your target race type when building teams.
