Introduction
Following the release of Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond Support card, we are greeted with two new Support Cards Yukino Bijin (SSR) and Nishino Flower (SR). In this article, we will briefly go over whether these cards are worth pulling for.
Keep in mind that Support Cards released after their banner ends wil be added to the pool of SSRs in the next banner. This also means that for future banners, the odds of obtaining a specific SSR off banner becomes extremely difficult.
TLDR
No, saving for other cards or better Wit cards will benefit you more.
- If you are a newer player and the Kitasan banner has ended, your left with no choice but to put a few pulls on this banner.
- Nishino Flower is a strong Power card but you will usually have better alternatives after pulling on the Kitasan banner.
Support Card Overview
Yukino Bijin Overview
Following the high expectations set by the Kitasan Black banner, this Wit card is a letdown. It only has two notable features: the gold skill No Stopping Me! and a Mood Up events.
Most of its skill hints are underwhelming, with only Medium Corners standing out as somewhat useful. Even at MLB, it's outclassed by existing SR Wit cards.
While it could potentially be slotted into a Guts/Wit build for a future scenario Make a New Track (MANT), Yukino Bijin has a welfare Guts card that performs significantly better, making this card an even harder sell.
Nishino Flower Overview
Sharing the banner with Yukino Bijin is Nishino Flower, an SR Power card. Unlike the SSR featured here, Nishino Flower (Power) is actually a solid option—roughly on par with Daitaku Helios (Power).
At MLB, it offers 25 Initial Friendship Gauge, 50 Specialty Priority, a Power Bonus, and 15% Race Bonus—making it a strong pick for URA and viable for the upcoming MANT scenario. Additionally, it has the chance to apply the Charming status effect via Random Events.
That said, it does fall short when compared to other SR alternatives like Hishi Amazon and Biwa Hayahide, which many players will likely have at 1LB or 2LB following the Kitasan banner.
Should You Pull?
No, this banner is an easy skip especially after spending tons of Carats on the Kitasan banner. Future banners to look out for are Super Creek or Kitasan rerun and Matikanefukukitaru (Speed) SSR.
