Table of Contents
*The content published here is based on values confirmed by GameWith and user submissions. If you have confirmed other values, we would appreciate it if you could provide the information in the comments section.
Effects of Blue Sparks (Status)
- A fixed status increase at the start of a Career
- The value of the status increase is different during the inheritance in the 2nd and 3rd years
Increase at the Start of a Career
The status increase at the start of a Career is the same as the value that shows on the inheritance screen. In the case of a 3★ Blue Spark, the status is guaranteed to increase by 21.
Status Increase Values at the Start of a Career
| ★ | Status Increase |
|---|---|
| 3★ | 21 |
| 2★ | 12 |
| 1★ | 5 |
Increase During Inheritance Events
The status increase during an inheritance event has a wide variance and a strong random element. There is also a possibility that the value fluctuates depending on Affinity, and there are still many unexplained aspects.
Probability of a High Status with the Number of Stars?
An increase of 1 has been confirmed even for 3★, so it can be inferred that the advantage of more stars is an increased probability of getting a high status. Also, a maximum increase of 28 has been confirmed for 1★, so the maximum value is likely the same as for 3★.
Confirmed Increase Values
| ★ | Increase |
|---|---|
| 3★ | 1-25 |
| 2★ | 8-19 |
| 1★ | 1-28 |
 Note! | We received information that a 3★ also had an increase of 1. Thank you! It is likely that an increase of 1 also exists for 2★, and the range of increase is likely to be common to all star levels. |

Effects of Red Sparks (Aptitude)
- Increases up to 4 levels at the start of a Career
- Increases by 1 level when it occurs during inheritance in the 2nd and 3rd years
Increase at the Start of a Career
At the start of a Career, depending on the number of Aptitude Sparks, the Aptitude increases by up to 4 levels. The required number of Spark stars is as follows. For example, if the number of stars reaches 10, the Aptitude will increase from E to A.
Number of Aptitude Sparks Required
| Increase Level | Required Sparks (Number of stars) |
|---|---|
| 1 Level Increase (G→F) | 1 |
| 2 Level Increase (G→E) | 4 |
| 3 Level Increase (G→D) | 7 |
| 4 Level Increase (G→C) | 10 |
No Increase Beyond 4 Levels
▲Inheritance screen with a total of 18 stars for Long Distance Sparks. It does not increase more than 4 levels.Aptitude at the Start of a Career is at most A
The Aptitude at the start of a Career is at most A. Becoming Aptitude S only happens during inheritance in the 2nd and 3rd years.
Increase During Inheritance Events
During an inheritance event, it increases by 1 level per activation. It is likely that the more stars there are, the higher the probability of it occurring. For example, if Long Distance Sparks from 2 characters activate during inheritance, the Long Distance Aptitude will increase by 2 levels.
Effects of White Sparks (Skill)
- Does not activate at the start of a Career
- Activates during inheritance in the 2nd and 3rd years
Increase During Inheritance Events
When a Skill White Spark activates, the Hint Lv increases. The sample size for verification is small, but looking at the trend for 1★ to 2★, it can be inferred that the occurrence rate of high levels increases.
Number of Skill White Sparks by Star Rating
| Hint Lv | 1★ | 2★ | 3★ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv1 | 17 times (58.62%) | 10 times (17.54%) | 3 times (25%) |
| Lv2 | 8 times (27.59%) | 20 times (35.09%) | 2 times (16.67%) |
| Lv3 | 2 times (6.9%) | 21 times (36.84%) | 1 time (8.33%) |
| Lv4 | 1 time (3.45%) | 4 times (7.02%) | 4 times (33.33%) |
| Lv5 | 1 time (3.45%) | 2 times (3.51%) | 2 times (16.67%) |
List of Effects of White Sparks (Race)
- Does not activate at the start of a Career
- Activates during inheritance in the 2nd and 3rd years
Increase During Inheritance Events
When a Race White Spark activates, you get a status increase and a Hint Lv. The amount of increase differs for each race, but the status increase is minimal, around 3-6, so the main benefit is obtaining the hint.
Confirmed White Spark (Race) Stats Increase
| Race Type | 1★ | 2★ | 3★ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Races | 3, 6 | 3, 6 | |
| Scenario Spark | 10, 20, 30 | 10, 20, 30 | 10, 20, 30 |
Scenario Sparks Greatly Increase Status
Only Scenario Sparks like the URA Finale have a higher status increase than other Race White Sparks. Since the corresponding status increases by 10-30 each time it activates, if it activates, it will have a significant impact on the Career.
| Type of Scenario Spark | Status that increases |
|---|---|
| URA Finale | Speed, Stamina |
Scenario Spark Status Increase Probability
Since increases of +10 to +30 in status have been reported regardless of the number of stars, from the verification results below, the advantage of more stars, similar to Blue Sparks, can be inferred to be an increase in the probability of a high status.
| Status Inc. | 1★ | 2★ | 3★ |
|---|---|---|---|
| +10 | 6 times (100%) | 7 times (35%) | 0 times (0%) |
| +20 | 0 times (0%) | 11 times (55%) | 2 times (16.67%) |
| +30 | 0 times (0%) | 2 times (10%) | 10 times (83.33%) |
