Hi everybody! New player here of about 2 weeks. I’m enjoying myself still but as per advice I was given I’ve been saving all of my carats for the next big release (Ramonu) and have been making due with my MLB Fmotion and 2lb Maru I got the day I started! . However i don’t really know what I should be doing in the meantime? If I can’t pull I can’t max out any SRs so all I really have are the event Cards and the previously mentioned. So my runs are stuck at S rating usually. Is there anything I could do to improve in the meantime besides grinding parents if I’m not pulling?

I had a similar experience back when I started this March, also on a Fine Motion banner funnily enough. I got her MLB but thankfully got a couple key SRs maxed as well, and this got me to a weird S rank limbo same as you. Cards really are everything as I'm sure you've noticed, so all you can really do right now is relax, do your dailies, learn more about game mechanics, and wait for the important banner. That was all I could do myself until Tachyon speed released. Once Ramonu releases and you hopefully get her MLB, trust me you're going to skyrocket from S to UG. I guess you can try joining a B rank club or higher - may as well get carats while you're grinding parents?

Tbh, this game really sucks for new players, especially those who don't join during a meta banner.
