Support cards are like equipment in the game, helping with training and providing key skills. Support cards consist of 5 elements: Passives, Unique Abilities, Skills, Events, and Card Type. There are Speed, Stamina, Power, Guts, and Intelligence type support cards. When training, you select 6 support cards, and it's common to select at least 2 Speed cards.

Support cards have various passives, and not all cards have the same passives. Key Passives: - Friendship Bonus: Increases stats gained during friendship training. 25% or higher is good. - Starting Bond: Increases bond with the character at the start of training. Ideally at least 25 or higher. - Motivation Bonus: Increases stats gained throughout training. Around 30% is good. - Hint Level: Increases the discount rate when acquiring skills. Level 2 or higher is good. - Hint Rate: Increases the frequency of acquiring hints. 30% or higher is good. - Speciality Rate: Increases the frequency of training stats of that card type.

Unique abilities provide additional passive effects and may activate under certain conditions. Skills activate during races and must meet certain conditions (straight, corner, race timing, etc.). Skills displayed in yellow provide better effects.

Each card has unique events through which you can acquire skills. However, skills obtained through events cannot receive hint discounts. Support cards can be leveled up using Support Points, and you can increase the maximum level by using the same card to perform Limit Breaks. Leveling up improves passive effects and may unlock additional passives or unique abilities. Generally, SSR cards are better than SR cards, but an SR card with max Limit Breaks is often better than an SSR card without Limit Breaks.

The information about support cards may seem a bit complex, but you'll get used to it as you play the game.
