Ride the momentum to increase velocity and very slightly increase acceleration after passing another runner toward the front late-race. |

Special Week's Unique Skill requires her to be in the front half of the pack during the late-race, and will activate after she overtakes another runner.
Following the November Balance Adjustments, the Unique Skill can now trigger if Special Week is in first place (after the overtake), and the skill now also provides acceleration.

When training Maruzensky, use the brand new Unity Cup scenario to take advantage of the new Spirit Burst mechanic. This not only lets you gain more stats than normal, but can also provide useful Skill Hints.
When using Special Week, run her as a Pace Chaser as she has a high aptitude for the running style. This also allows her to easily meet the requirements of her Unique Skill Shooting Star, as well as use some useful Pace Chaser skills like Gourmand.
Alternatively, players can also run Special Week as a Late Surger, as she has the same aptitude for it as Pace Chaser. She also has access to the skills Outer Swell and Slick Surge, which are useful Late Surger skills.
For easy access to Gourmand, as well as the skill In Body and Mind, it is important to level Special Week's potential. If you do not have the Monies or materials to do so, reaching Potential Level 3 is enough to gain access to Gourmand.
Special Week will be part of your Medium Team Trials team. As such, improving her Medium aptitude will help her perform well.
While you can also improve her Mile aptitude to help with her first career races, it is not required, and you can still perform well in the race as long as you have the proper stats.
Two of Special Week's career goal races (the Kikuka Sho and the Tenno Sho (Spring)) have steep Stamina requirements thanks to their length. To maximize your chances of clearing her career, try to get at least 400 Stamina before the Kikuka Sho, and at least 500 Stamina before the Tenno Sho (Spring).
| 1200 | 800 | 800 | 400 | 400 |
Since Special Week will be part of your Medium Team in Team Trials as a Pace Chaser, we recommend getting the stats above so she has enough Stamina and Power to beat the competition. Getting a Gold Recovery skill like Gourmand is recommended to help with her Medium-length races, as well as the Long races in her career.
If you are only planning to clear a career run with Special Week, then you can aim for lower stat numbers, as the stats above are for Team Trials.
Training Guide: Which Stats to Train?
We recommend a Speed-Power deck with 3 Speed, 2 Power, and 1 Pal to help Special Week get the stats that she needs, with her Stamina coming from Sparks, Power Training, and Riko Kashimoto (Planned Perfection). You can also choose to run a 2 Speed, 3 Wit, 1 Pal deck to maximize training time.
This deck is for players who are starting out and are still trying to get a feel of the game's mechanics and intricacies. This deck can help you get the needed stats to clear the career, while also providing important skills.
Take advantage of the game's borrowing feature to borrow a powerful MLB SSR, like Kitasan Black. Additionally, if you do not have an MLB copy of Riko Kashimoto (Tracen Academy), it would be better to use another SR Stamina card instead.
| Recommended Alternative Support Cards | |
|---|---|
| Speed | |
| Stamina | |
| Power | |
| Wit |
These cards will help Special Week level her needed Stats (especially with Rainbow/Friendship Training), as well as provide some needed skills.
These stats are enough to clear the URA Finale easily, as they provide enough Speed, Stamina, and Power for all of Special Week's career races, especially when partnered with the correct skills. As for the deck, you can either run a 4 Speed, 2 Stamina deck, or a 3 Speed, 3 Power deck.
You can also opt to replace one of the cards with Tazuna Hayakawa (Tracen Reception) if you want to use a Pal card.
| Recommended | |
|---|---|
| 12★ Stamina 6★ Power |
|
| 3★ Pace Chaser 3★ Medium |
For Legacy Sparks, we recommend trying to find Stamina and Power sparks, as she will need them for her Medium and Long races. Additionally, try to get Medium to improve her performance in Team Trials, as well as help out with her career races.
Afterward, get Pace Chaser sparks to help increase her affinity for the style from A to S, which is a good advantage to have.
You can use either your own Veterans, or borrow the ones from your friends. If you do not have Veterans with full sparks, you can go with whatever you have access to.
Special Week will need velocity and acceleration skills to help her get to the front of the pack in the later parts of the race. Skills like No Stopping Me!, In Body and Mind, Head-On, and even Triumphant Pulse are especially helpful in the last parts of the race.
For the velocity skills, corner skills like Professor of Curvature and Medium and Pace Chaser Corners are reliable skills to have. Positional skills like Up-Tempo, Slipstream, and Playtime's Over!, as well as overtake skills like It's On! can also help.
For recovery skills, Gourmand is your best option thanks to its accessibility and simple activation requirements.
If you cannot get the recommended skills, you can replace them with similar skills that you have access to. You will just need to make sure that Special Week can activate said skills in a race.
