Release Schedule November
Against many predictions we will not get the launch of the next scenario Grandmasters this month. However it will feature the first of the 2.0 Anniversary Celebration campaigns, as well several new banners, a Champions Meeting, a new Story Event, and the return of the Uma Outing event.
Keep in mind that none of the Umas from this point on are eligible for the 2.0 Anniversary paid 3* Uma or SSR Selectors and will be only available from the 2.5 Anniversary onward.
November 5th - November 15th - Banners
New Uma: Daitaku Helios
Daitaku Helios has a great arsenal of Mile skills with 
Reckless Charge and Changing Gears. On top of that she is the third uma with 
Runaway. To unlock it she must win the Arima Kinen in senior year or just participate but win both Yasuda Kinen and Mile Championship in classic and senior year. Her unique 
Hands in the Air Like Ya Don't Care! gives her mid-race speed, with 6s base duration in Sprint and Mile. Since her skills only require positions 1-5, she can be used as a 
Pace Chaser as well.
If you look for a strong Miler then Helios is a great choice.
New Support Cards: 
K.S.Miracle SSR & 
Aston Machan SR
K.S.Miracle is a strong card for Sprints and Pace Chaser. Her gold skill is 
Neck and Neck, which is a very good acceleration skill, which previously was only available via 
Daiwa Scarlet. K.S. Miracle's unique effect gives her a +2 Power bonus when her bond gauge is at 80 or higher.
Aston Machan's first appearance as a support card notably has 
Groundwork in her skill hints as well as other useful 
Front Runner hints. In her event chain, she also grants 
Mad Dash. As SR Speed cards go her output is sadly a bit lackluster.
November 5th - November 15th Event: Uma Outing
The Uma Outing event allowed us to boost Friendship Bond with our umas featuring cute little scenes of them on the various activities. Doing these unlocks a few rewards as well as some Friendship Bond points. At some point this will be added to the daily activities. Until then we can enjoy this event.
November 9th - November 22nd - Story Event: "Sweet Memories ♥ Tea Time"
This year's Valentine's story event features Mejiro Ryan, Ines Fujin, Marvelous Sunday, Biko Pegasus and Hishi Akebono.
Hishi Akebono is this scenario's free support card. She has Sprint skills and her gold Skill is Plan X, but like other story cards, she is rather weak.

New Umas: Mejiro Ryan (Valentine) and Ines Fujin (Valentine)
Mejiro Ryan (Valentine) is a downhill focused Pace Chaser. She comes with Determined Descent and Master of Declines. Her unique A Warm Cup for You is a Speed Skill that needs her to be with 10 lengths of the lead but not leading herself, on a downhill after 60% of the race and in mid-race. If it is a Medium track she also gains 0.1 acceleration as well.
Valentine Ryan shines on specific medium tracks, however that distance has some stiff competition in form of very strong meta umas. Depending on the layout however she can still be competitive.
Ines Fujin (Valentine) is a very strong Front Runner that is often compared to Mihono Bourbon (Valentine) with good reason. Her unqiue Fresh☆Parlor also features a recovery and while its target speed increase is only 0.25, the base duration is 6s. It activates in in the first half of mid-race and only requires Ines to be in the top 3. Her gold skills are Crescent Gale, the gold version of Front Runner Corners ○ and 
Concentration. Her other skills are valuable Front Runner skills such as Groundwork, and 
Dodging Danger can be obtained from her event. Her only is distance specific skill is 
Speed Eater, giving her an advantage on Mile distance. Since Bourbon herself is not able to use the upcoming Mihono Bourbon for Solid Preparation, Valentine Ines will replace her as a very popular Front Runner.
New Support Cards: Marvelous Sunday SSR & Biko Pegasus SSR
Marvelous Sunday comes with Medium and Long Distance hints but also Tail Held High. Her gold skill is a recovery in form of 
Indomitable. This skill requires you to get overtaken to activate. This might occur more often for Backliners but is still hard to predict. With a Bonus in Training Effectiveness once her Friendship gauge is maxed she has a decent stat output, and also has a SP Bonus. Still there are a lot of other options among Speed SSR cards.
Biko Pegasus brings some strong skill hints for Sprint Distance and Late Surgers. Among them Nimble Navigator and Leap Forward. Her gold skill is Sharp Arc which is the improved version of Late Surger Corners ◎. Her unique is 5% Training Effectiveness and 3% more for every 4 maximum energy you accrue during your run. Maximum energy is generally not a good option during career and the extra 3% Training Effectiveness will most certainly not be worth picking that up.
November 18th - November 27nd - Champions Meeting Aquarius Cup
The final Champions Meeting of Grand Concert will be the Aquarius Cup where we return to Tokyo 1600m on Dirt. Our guide for this is coming soon!

New Uma: Shinko Windy
Shinko Windy is a Pace Chaser / 
Late Surger for Dirt tracks only, due to her Turf Aptitude of FOne of her gold skills is 
Maestro of the Mud, a passive for Dirt tracks on Soft or Heavy Conditions. The only Champions Meeting where this will activate is the upcoming Aquarius Cup, and all other Dirt CM's released in the JP version so far are on Firm Conditions. Shinko Windy's unique Ding Dong, Boo! activates only when she is dueling. This is a race mechanic that only activates on the final straight. It gives her Target Speed and also acceleration when on Dirt. Unfortunately that is not a reliable trigger here.
Support Card Re-run: Maruzensky SSR & Nishino Flower SSR
Maruzensky Speed is a great card for Front Runners. She features a lot of Front Runner skill hints and gives Top Runner, a very useful skill. She should be in every Front Runner deck at this point, because almost of her skills have general use and are not tied to a specific distance.
Nishino Flower's gold skill is Determined Descent, a Pace Chaser only acceleration skill that triggers on a random point on a downhill. This makes her valuable for specific tracks.
