I decided to forgo playing Exedra (mainly b/c I'm still traumatized by Magia Record shutting down on me) but the game does seem to have higher pull rates overall than Umamusume
Alt: screenshot from r/gachagaming explaining Magia Exedra's gacha system. The text in the screenshot says, "The Gacha and pulls income The gacha has a 3% and 17% rate for 5* and 4*, spark is at 200, no carryable pity or 50/50 protection. This is the usual for JP-developed gachas however this might throw off new players used to all the modern games employing hoyo-like gacha systems. For example, extra dupes give currency tradeable only for upgrade materials. There is no 1st of the month shop reset with grabbable rolls. Pull-income wise, it s quite slow through main story, probably allowing a 10-roll every 2-3 main story chapters. The daily-weekly income is laughable, capping at 500 gems per week, or 1.67 rolls per week. Chances are the game devs are going for an fgo approach of sprinkling gems through devs gifts rather than stable tasks. Still, if this doesnt happen, don't expect to save for a character anytime soon."

So if Oguri knows the word "rizz", then odds are also high that Norn also taught her about "gya –

Oh god, nvm about that thought

#Umamusume #CinderellaGray
Alt: screenshot is from the anime, "Umamusume: Cinderella Gray". Pictured is a large group of people looking bewildered. The caption says: "Looks like disguising you was pointless. We ended up standing out anyway." This line is said by Belno Light in reference to her attempt to disguise Oguri Cap while out and about in public due to Oguri now being a racing celebrity. Alt: screenshot is from the anime, "Umamusume: Cinderella Gray". Pictured is a long-haired horse girl (Oguri Cap) in a cap saying, "Is this the 'rizz' Norn keeps telling me about?" She is referring to the large group of people looking at her (not pictured in the screenshot). Alt: screenshot is from the anime, "Umamusume: Cinderella Gray". Pictured are two horse girls, one with long hair and wearing a cap (Oguri Cap), and the other with medium-length hair and two letter "B" hair decorations (Belno Light). Belno Light is saying, "I don't think that's what she had in mind..." She is referring to how Norn Ace had taught Oguri Cap the word "rizz" and Oguri mistaking the word to mean "being noticed by lots of people".

LOL so long as the shapes are tasty, why not cram them in your mouth? 😂 Never change, Oguri. #Umamusume #CinderellaGray
Alt: screenshot from the anime, "Umamusume: Cinderella Gray". Pictured are Oguri Cap (gray-haired horse girl wearing a cap) and Belno Light (brunette horse girl) sitting at an table in a park with sodas on it. Oguri is sitting up while saying, "Nothing but weird shapes but at least those shapes were tasty." She is referring to eating trendy street food from Harajuku. Belno Light, on the other hand, is slumped over the table due to having ate and drank too much.

Absolutely /loving/ how the movie isn't afraid to depict girls with all sorts of expressions, even with part of the premise of #Umamusume involving idols. Fuck yeah, girls can be crazed shonen protags too!!! 😍 #UmamusumeBeginningofaNewEra

It took multiple attempts but I finally, finally completed Gold Ship's career right as maintenance hit. Normal ending but her RNG is so gd fickle, this feels more of an achievement than completing Suzuka's career honestly #Umamusume

Heyyy my first time getting a total of 80k points in VoV! Sticking Voyager into a non-Impromptu team was probably not a good idea but eh, made it work. Definitely gotta build up Aleph more, etc.
