- GM Nine's Game Guide: Trainer (Renewed) 2023.08.30
-
Greetings from Com2uS!
With the v10.0.7 update, a brand-new item has arrived—introducing the Skill Trainer!
Let’s break down everything you need to know about this powerful new feature that boosts your players’ performance.
[Trainer]
Trainers are designed to help further develop your players.
They are equipped directly to individual players and grant benefits such as stat boosts, or increased/decreased chances of specific outcomes.
⚡Quick Tip⚡:
- Trainers can be viewed via the main screen → team management → trainer,
trainer tab at the top of the player detailed screen or trainer button on the bottom-right.
- You can go straight to the trainer equip page by tapping the trainer button in the player details screen or the + button on an empty trainer slot.
[Trainer Types]
There are three types of Trainers: Trainer, Special Trainer, and Skill Trainer.
Each type is available for both batters and pitchers, and the available grades and option types vary by Trainer type.
The main option of Trainers increases the player's stats by up to 3 at random. Higher grades provide a greater stats increase. The amount of increase per grade is as follows.
- Bronze: Increase up to 2 stats / Increase by up to 3 per stat / Total MAX increase: 5
- Silver: Increase up to 3 stats / Increase by up to 5 per stat / Total MAX increase: 8
- Gold: Increase up to 3 stats / Increase by up to 7 per stat / Total MAX increase: 12
A Special Trainer's main option increases or decreases the chance of certain situations occurring at random. Higher grades give a higher or lower chance of certain situations occurring.
The main option effects of Special Trainers for batters and pitchers are as follows.

⚡Quick Tip⚡:
Enter the Trainer page and tap the “?” button on the right to check the effect and description of each Trainer!
Gold or higher Special Trainers have a position option. Up to 2 are applied based on the Trainer's grade.
The effect of position options is applied based on the player's starting position registered to each lineup.
※ The Trainer effect will not be applied if a player who can play multiple positions (1B / 3B) starts as a 1B or a Trainer with a sub option is equipped and starts as a 3B.
※ The effect is applied if a player equipping a Trainer with a 1B position option is registered as a 1B in the league lineup and starts in a league game. The effect is not applied if registered as a DH in the battle lineup and starts in a Ranked Battle
⚡Quick Tip⚡:- For outfielders, the effect is applied based on the actual position registered to the lineup (LF, RF, CF).
- For relievers, the effect is also applied based on the actual position registered to the lineup (RP, CP).
- Position options appear to reflect the player's stats for each position. For pitchers, more SP and RP options will appear.
- Options that are not applied because they do not meet the position and sub-option conditions will be disabled,
allowing you to determine whether the option is applied.
All Trainers gain random sub options upon acquistion. Trainers with sub options grant bonus stats when registered to a specific position (based on the starting position in the lineup).
Supreme Players gain 2x sub option effects from Trainers.
Equip the Trainer that best suits your player's traits!
⚡Quick Tip⚡:
Trainers' stats increase, and the chance of certain situations occurring are granted randomly within a certain range. There may be slight differences in the value of options even for the same Trainers.
Stats increased by Trainers are reflected before the game starts, and will influence the activation of skills and bonus effects.
The skills influenced are as follows.
- Ace Specialist / Barrel It Up / Giant Crusher / Dominant Pitcher / Finesse Pitcher
[Acquiring Trainers]
Trainers can be acquired using Trainer Recruit Tickets earned at a certain rate from the League Master Mode reward box.
The rate of acquiring a higher grade Trainer Recruit Ticket from the league reward box increases in higher League Master Mode seasons.
⚡Quick Tip⚡:
