The next year in GF2 is gonna be interesting, given how most EN support sites Gacha rely on (Ranking/Explanation guides) actively ditched the game when CN showed off the openly aggressive and predatory upcoming systems.
So long as the story is good, it'll hopefully manage to keep me around.

My only complaint is that my section on Oaths was messed up.

Makiatto was 'undefined', and I apparently have two Oathed Dolls? (I only have one, which is Makiatto, as I can't justify buying Rings with how little I have)

I've spent so much Sardis Gold that the inworld Brokers are scared of me and moving to the White Zone out of fear of my spending ability? That's a great joke XD

Anyway, I did actually enjoy the other stats, unlike how generic Nikke's were.

Almost 3k summons? (most of which were free, or from the Battlepass) That's fairly ridiculous given how I have atleast 1 copy of each premium Doll.

Just like how Andoris and Klukai aren't as high despite being strong candidates for future Oath Rings, as Electric and Corrosion just lack the sheer number of Dolls the Burn Dolls have. (though thats changing soon for Electric)

Makiatto has been my dork since GF1, and that didn't change in GF2.
And prior to the Burn team actually forming, she was pretty much used just as often as Qionjiu.

So why isn't she the Doll the stats say is 'my' Doll?
Freeze teams aint a thing yet.

And I've had her since week one, and her kit just.....works until you can get an actual Team.

....but is she 'my' Doll?
Nah. She's cool, and I look forward to seeing her and Frostfall more, but outside of usefulness, she's not a favorite.

Considering how my main team is the Burn team of Qiongjiu, Qiuhua, Vector, Centaruessi, and Peri, it makes sense that the game thinks Qingjiu as my 'main' Doll, as she's an absurdly powerful starter unit who only got stronger with the release of more burn units, her Mod Key and the Core system.

4 Sparks.
3 Star Blue Rose (not what I wanted, but maybe that’ll be a good parent spark).
2 irrelevant ones.

The final Spark.
The only one with tied to an ability score.

…..1 Star Wit.

Not a Speed or Power, which were 600/500.
Not a Guts, which was 400.
Not. Even. A. Stamina. 1. Spark.

Camera angle implies Rice is first.

FINISH!!!!

Gold Ship wins by a nose.
(I’m gonna strangle the chaos horse I swear to fucking god why can’t she be this consistent in my runs)

Eh, that sucks, and I probably won’t see a HS ticket for another 6 months, but whatever, I just need the spark.

Another minor skill procs, Rice gets the upper hand, and Daiwa falls back.

100 meters remain.

Camera is on Rice, can only just see Daiwa Scarlet, guaranteed victory is achi—

Enter Gold Ship.
GS: I heard you used 4 Clocks >:D

Duel commences at 50 meters.

Neck and neck at 25 meters.

Race starts, and Rice is mid pack for 70% of the race.
Not bad, but not great.

Daiwa Scarlet spurts, pulls far ahead of the pack.
The pack falls apart enough that Rice can trigger Blue Rose *and* Triumphant Pulse plus smaller boosts.

Daiwa and Rice are head to head, 200 meters remaining.

URA Finals.
Only have enough skill points for a green skill.

Skills available? Kyoto, Firm Ground, Rainy Day.
Track? Tokyo, Soft Ground, Snowy Day.

…..guess I’m spending the SP after the race.
Thats fine, I usually have 300 after winning, so thats just more to invest lated.

Ura prelims? Easy victory.
EX Day 2 gets STA to 1050.

Ura Semifinals? FOUR ALARM CLOCKS. RNG fucked me hard.
EX Day 3 gets STA to 1070.
Thats an S+, thats an increased likelihood of the Spark I need.

Year 3 goes smoothly, and while Rice wins her Unity Cup race, we lose the competition 2 wins and 3 losses.

Annoying, but fine. Not a priority.
STA is almost 1k, so between the EX days and winning the 3 URA races, a 2 Star Stamina Spark is likely.

Though it is fitting, as she was both my first 3 Star on the beginner guaranteed 10 pull, and the first 3 Star to start a trend of denying me new Umas and Cards (Rice for Umas, Suzuka for cards).

Hit Year 3, time for Raffle.
……finally gets a Hot Spring ticket.
Rice’s stats are okay, and a URA finale win is possible.
(Only downside is that the ticket is for Rice Shower. She’s adorable and I love her, but she isn’t high on the lost of ‘Who I want that ticket for’).

Nikke, please keep up what your doing.
Consistent story updates, actually relevant events (or, when its not relevant, its usually a much needed break), great character writing, and gorgeous designs.

There's really only one way to improve it, but the day a high profile gacha goes Adult ain't likely.
