Cancer Cup Seiun Sky (Reeling in the Big One) Build

Umamusume AttentionAttention! This is a character build for the Cancer Cup Champions Meeting.
This guide may be updated as we think of up more strategies for CM! Stay tuned!

Cancer Cup Seiun Sky Stats and Training

General Stat Recommendations
Speed
1200
Stamina
600+
Power
800+
Guts
300
Wit
400
Recommended Training Grade: A or better
Note that the above stats can apply to the Graded League. You can relax your stats a bit more for Open League, but we always recommend you prioritize enough Stamina.

Maximize both Speed and Power whenever possible.

Seiun Sky (Reeling in the Big One) is best built as a Front Runner, an aggressive running style that puts her at the front immediately. This running style is essential to having her unique skill Angling and Scheming activate.

Note that building Seiun Sky won't be easy; you'll need to luck out on getting Groundwork and enough green skills to effective push her towards the front immediately, and will still have to deal with her career that requires a Stamina check for Long races like Arima Kinen.

Above are some teammates that can be suggested for Seiun Sky (Reeling in the Big One) in Champions Meeting since they can fill in other roles that can support her. You can still excel with other Umamusume should the above be unavailable.

When having Seiun Sky compete, you'll want to be sure you're not using an Anti-Angling and Scheming build (max Power and max Wit over Speed) that will put her unique skill at a disadvantage. The build itself will lose speed in the late-race, placing her and Seiun Sky at a disadvantage. Instead, you'll want to maximize another strong Ace that can pick up, or another debuffer instead.

There's a wider pool of potential strong entries in the Cancer Cup, since a lot more racers are adept at Mile distance races or have the acceleration skills for it. You're free to enter and build existing Umamusume from previous cups, such as Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat), or even Narita Taishin (Nevertheless) if you have the necessary Mile sparks.

Cancer Cup Training Deck Setups

Deck Setups Strong Options
Speed 3 Power 3

Speed 3 Power 2 Wit 1
ⓘ Above are the recommended deck setups and support cards. You do not have to confine yourself to these setups, so we encourage you experiment with different cards while there is still time for the Champions Meeting.
Sample Front Decks
If Groundwork source is from a Parent:
If Groundwork source is from a Support Card:
Sample deck with SSR Tazuna Hayakawa. Groundwork source from SR Air Groove Guts. Free to adjust if Groundwork source will be from a Parent.

The recommended deck setups for Seiun Sky (Reeling in the Big One) are decks that can maximize Speed and Power. Seiun Sky needs the Speed and Power to maintain the lead as a Front Runner from beginning to the end. Stamina is a lesser priority stat in this race, but make sure to still have enough to survive the distance.

Speed builds Power, and Power builds Stamina, so it will be best to try and max out these training facilities. Only train on Wit or Stamina when needed, preferrably in Summer Camp where facility levels are maxed, or on training days where there isn't much to do for Speed and Power.

Blue Star SparkStats
9★ Stamina
9★ Power
Or 18★ Stamina
Pink SparkAptitude

3★ Turf

For Seiun Sky's spark legacies, we recommend final corner unique skills like El Condor Pasa's Victoria por Plancha ☆. You may also pick up skills like Smart Falcon's SPARKLY☆STARDOM for a speed increase in the mid-race (especially at the course's first uphill).

Maximize your Stamina Sparks as much as you can to ensure you can build enough Stamina for your Seiun Sky. For aptitude, we recommend you prioritize 3★ Mile then 3★ Turf to get more speed and power. You can also go with 3★ Front Runner if there is still space, otherwise, prioritize those 2 pink sparks.
