How to Unlock Friendship Training
Raise Friendship Gauge to 80%
Friendship Training unlocks once the friendship gauge reaches 80% or higher, indicated by the gauge turning orange.
The Support Card's type will always match the type of training if Friendship Training is available.
How to Gain Friendship Points
| Method | Friendship Points |
|---|---|
| Regular Training | +7 |
| Skill/Hint Training (red exclamation point) |
+5 (if multiple, one is chosen at random) |
| Support Card Event | +5 or +10 |
The table above lists various methods for increasing the friendship gauge, along with the corresponding amount of friendship points gained.

Prioritize Training with Multiple Supports
Prioritize training with multiple supports present to unlock Friendship Training faster, regardless of training type.
As you progress through the Career run, you can then focus on the stats you want your Trainee to have using Friendship Training and higher level facilities.
Do Wit Training for Energy
Unlike other training types, Wit training restores a small amount of energy. Whenever you can, use Wit training to push your Trainee's energy above 50% to reduce the risk for injury.
However, it is not advisable to rely solely on Wit training for energy recovery because you may miss out on valuable turns in the future.
Wit Friendship Training Increases Energy Recovery
Wit Support Cards often have a support effect called Wit Friendship Recovery, which boosts the amount of energy restored during Wit Friendship Training.
If multiple Wit Friendship Trainings stack, that turn becomes incredibly efficient, providing a substantial energy recovery, a massive boost to Wit, Skill Points, and a small bonus to Speed.
Get the Charming Status
The Charming ◯ status grants an additional +2 friendship points per training session, making it especially valuable in the early stages of a run.
How to Get Charming Status
| Trainee Events (All Characters) | |
|---|---|
|
・Small chance to obtain during Training or racing. ・Bottom choice in Acupuncturist event. |
|
| Character-specific Trainee Events | |
| ┗"Under the Meteor Shower" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) | ┗"Mayano Takes Off ☆" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) |
| ┗"Festive Colors" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) | ┗"I Am Enough" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) |
| Support Card Events | |
| ┗"Warmth, Love, and Lunch" (Top Choice, Guaranteed Bonus) | ┗"Wonderful ☆ Mistake!" (Bottom Choice, Guaranteed Bonus) |
You can increase the chances of getting the Charming ◯ status by using specific Trainees and Support Cards.
All Positive and Negative Effects
Use Support Cards with Specialty Priority and Initial Friendship Gauge
When starting a run, choose Support Cards that have Specialty Priority and Initial Friendship Gauge.
Specialty Priority increases the chance of a support card appearing in the preferred training type, which helps trigger Friendship Training more frequently. Initial Friendship Gauge allows the support card to begin with a partially filled friendship gauge.
Note that you'll still need to account for a Support Card's other traits such as Skills, Events, and the like!
Friendship Training Calculation Formula
| Friendship Training Calculation Formula | |
|---|---|
|
Base Training + Stat Bonus x Growth Rate Bonus x Mood (1 + Mood Bonus x Mood Effect) / 100 x Training Effectiveness x Friendship Bonus x Participant Count Bonus |
|

| Growth Rate Bonus | Based on Trainee's innate growth rate bonuses. |
| Mood Bonus |
・Great: +20% ・Good: +10% ・Normal: No bonus ・Bad: -10% ・Awful: -20% |
