Maximize both Speed and Power whenever possible.

Maruzensky (Hot☆Summer Night) is best built as a Front Runner due to her skill kit. Front Runners right now are in strong competitive position due to the existence of Angling and Scheming, which gives a big acceleration boost that is hard to fight against when activated.

Note that building Maruzensky won't be easy. On top of great stats, you'll need to luck out on getting Groundwork and enough green skills to effective push her towards the front immediately.

The recommended deck setups for Maruzensky (Hot☆Summer Night) are decks that can maximize Speed and Stamina. Prioritize these first to increase your chances of maintaining the lead and surviving the distance.

Only train on Wit or Power 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.

Front Runners need a skill combo that will allow them to proc Groundwork. At least 3 track-based Green Skills has the highest guarantee for activating it.

Aside from the Green Skills, prioritize Speed Skills and Blue Skills. Speed skills for maintaining 1st position in the mid-race to ensure Angling and Scheming in the late-race. Stamina recovery is important to ensure that Maruzensky does not run out of gas in the race due to the lack of base stamina or debuffers.

For Maruzensky's spark legacies, Angling and Scheming from Seiun Sky is a must. This can be followed by other decent Front-Runner-oriented inherits like Resplendent Red Ace from Daiwa Scarlet.

Maximize your Stamina Sparks as much as you can to ensure you can build enough Stamina for your Maruzensky. For aptitude, we recommend you prioritize 3★ Medium 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.
