Kyoto Turf (Long) Race Details
 Race: Kyoto Turf |
||||
| Recommended Stats | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Stamina | Power | Guts | Wit |
| 350 | 300 | 200 | 200 | 200 |
| Recommended Characters | ||||
 Matikane Fukukitaru (Rising Fortune) Rarity: R |
 Agnes Tachyon (Tach-nology) Rarity: R |
 T.M. Opera O (O Sole Suo!) Rarity: SSR |
 Grass Wonder (Stone-Piercing Blue) Rarity: SR |
 Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) Rarity: SSR |
The first race is easy, with all of your competitors being in the lowly F rank. If you have not played Career Mode before, we recommend doing so before participating in this race, as it will make the race much easier.
Hanshin Turf (Long) Race Details
Race: Hanshin Turf |
||||
| Recommended Stats | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Stamina | Power | Guts | Wit |
| 350 | 300 | 200 | 200 | 200 |
| Recommended Characters | ||||
|
Matikane Fukukitaru (Rising Fortune) Rarity: R |
Agnes Tachyon (Tach-nology) Rarity: R |
T.M. Opera O (O Sole Suo!) Rarity: SSR |
Grass Wonder (Stone-Piercing Blue) Rarity: SR |
Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) Rarity: SSR |
The competition has improved, but not by much. Their overall ranks are still quite low, in the upper F+ tier. With only minor differences from the first race, completing the second race shouldn't be too difficult, as the increase in difficulty is minimal.
Kyoto Turf (Medium) Details
Race: Hanshin Turf |
||||
| Recommended Stats | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Stamina | Power | Guts | Wit |
| 400 | 300 | 300 | 250 | 250 |
| Recommended Characters | ||||
 Silence Suzuka (Innocent Silence) Rarity: SSR |
Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) Rarity: SSR |
T.M. Opera O (O Sole Suo!) Rarity: SSR |
Matikane Fukukitaru (Rising Fortune) Rarity: R |
 Air Groove (Empress Road) Rarity: SR |
The third race is where the difficulty really ramps up. Opponents have ranks ranging from E to E+, with a few F+ ranks mixed in. Since this is a Medium length race, you can switch characters if you have ones that are better suited for it.
Nakayama Turf (Long) Details
Race: Nakayama Turf |
||||
| Recommended Stats | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Stamina | Power | Guts | Wit |
| 600 | 450 | 400 | 200 | 350 |
| Recommended Characters | ||||
|
Matikane Fukukitaru (Rising Fortune) Rarity: R |
Agnes Tachyon (Tach-nology) Rarity: R |
T.M. Opera O (O Sole Suo!) Rarity: SSR |
Grass Wonder (Stone-Piercing Blue) Rarity: SR |
 El Condor Pasa (El Numero 1) Rarity: SR |
This is the final race, so the competition will be at its fiercest. You will need a decently built character with enough speed to outrun the two D-rank competitors and enough stamina to last all the way to the end.
The real challenge of this race is overcoming the strongest competitor, Oguri Cap. She will be at C rank and excels at Long races. Although she provides a decent challenge, her participation in the race means that players who have been using her cannot use her for this particular race and must use an alternative character instead.
Chapter 1 Story Rewards
Collect up to 510 Carats
You will earn a total of 510 Carats by completing episodes 1 to 14 and finishing all four races in first place.
