Hishi Akebono's speed skill activates at a random point in the 2nd half of the race depending on the amount of stamina left. It is best activated using a Pace style, since it has the potential to activate toward the front (around 3rd-5th place) in a 9-gate race.
Its skill activation can be delayed further into the late-race by increasing Stamina. But trying to spend a lot on this stat can compromise the development of more useful stats like Speed and Power, so it's easiest to treat the skill as a mid-race speed skill.
YUMMY☆SPEED! is expected to receive a rebalance in the future (3rd JP Anniversary): non-requirement of Stamina and will involve an overtake instead.

Hishi Akebono is a good Pace Chaser for Sprint races. Her unique skill YUMMY☆SPEED! is not exactly the best for getting an edge for the lead due to its varying conditions, but her skill kit can still be used in Team Trials for getting higher scores.
Her access to Gourmand means you can try your chances in maximizing her other stats while not paying too much attention to Stamina. Still, for PvP such as Champions Meeting, you do not want to compromise on Stamina, and instead either try to work on optimizing her unique's activation time with it or giving her the best skills for pushing further into the late-race.
| Training Tips |
|---|
|
|

The new Unity Cup scenario allows trainees to achieve higher stats than normal, and also provides useful Skill Hints.
Hishi Akebono is best suited as a Pace Chaser and a Sprint-distance runner due to her A Aptitude in both aptitudes. Being in a Pace Chaser position will also make her compatible to the skills Gourmand and Tactical Tweak if needed.
Hishi Akebono excels on short distances, particularly Sprint. This means she is at her best when you maximize both of her Speed and Power, and shorter distances entail more relaxed training for Stamina.
Wit is also good to factor in, since with less demand for Stamina, you can try to optimize her with Training to get a higher skill proc rate and better positioning.
|
Potential Lv. 3 |
・Improves navigation and acceleration in the mid-race.
・Obtain to maximize skill activation for scores in Team Trials. |
|---|---|
|
Potential Lv. 5 |
・Recovers endurance for Pace Chasers in the mid-race.
・Obtain if you want to try min-maxing Stamina for Speed and Power, or for optimizing YUMMY☆SPEED! activation. ・Better if you want to build her for surviving longer races. |
Depending on how you want Hishi Akebono to perform, the best points for raising her potential levels are at a Lv. 3 where she unlocks Perfect Prep! or Lv. 5 where she unlocks Gourmand.
| Sample Setup (Hishi Akebono JP Capricorn Cup 2022) |
|
|---|---|
| Advanced | Effective use for mid-late race. |
| Basic | Easiest to proc as mid-race. |
| Sample conditions:
・Chukyo, 1200m, Left, Soft Ground, Snowy, Winter. |
|
Hishi Akebono's unique skill YUMMY☆SPEED! can have its activation time adjusted so that it can proc further in the 2nd half of the race. This is dependent how much stamina she has left, making its activation point somewhat random.
Trying to hit a high amount of Stamina is relatively difficult since you'll want to focus on maximizing Speed and Power on shorter distances like Sprint. For a more straightforward way of building Hishi Akebono, you can settle with the typical amount for her Sprint apttiude instead.
It's possible you can get around having to maximize her Stamina by stacking on more recovery skills like Swinging Maestro. But note that this adds more variables that can be difficult to control, since corner recovery skills like it may not activate until much later than mid-race, and other skills like Breath of Fresh Air can activate off an optimal time and stage on a straight.

| Choice 2 | ・Energy +40
・Mood +1 ・Guaranteed cure of bad conditions. |
At random, there's a chance that Hishi Akebono can get a random event that either lets her restore a lot of energy, or restore a moderate amount with a Mood increase and a guaranteed cure of bad status conditions. If you come across this event, don't hesitate to take advantage of its effects!
| 1200 | 500 | 900 | 400 | 400 |
As a Sprint racer, prioritize reaching max Speed and as much Power as possible. Hishi Akebono has access to Hydrate and Gourmand, allowing her to have lower Stamina requirements as a Pace Chaser.
It is important to note that if you cannot reach the stats recommended above, you can instead aim for a similar stat distribution. You can then compensate for the missing stats using skills.
Training Guide: Which Stats to Train?
For Support Cards, we recommend a simple build of 3 Speed and 3 Wit, or swapping any one card for a Pal (Riko or Tazuna), depending on the scenario.
| Recommended | |
|---|---|
|
9★ Stamina 9★ Power |
|
|
3★ Pace Chaser 3★ Sprint |
Prioritize Stamina and Power sparks to meet the minimum required Stamina during races. Power sparks give you an extra boost, especially when you're typically running Speed and Wit Support Cards.
For Aptitude, Pace Chaser and Sprint sparks play to Hishi Akebono's strengths.
The recommended skills listed above increase velocity during the middle of the race and boost acceleration toward the end, leading to a decisive finish in sprint races.
While recovery skills like Swinging Maestro and Breath of Fresh Air can be used to increase Hishi Akebono's stamina and delay her Unique Skill activation, it is not reliable, and as such is optional.

on this website there should really be a better like. explanation on WHY certain cards are used for certain character playstyles, i picked all of this up from skipping around a bunch of half hour youtube videos and it's really not that difficult to summarize :/ i liked the explanations before for the alt cards for URA decks and idk why you guys ditched them, they were more helpful than whatever this is for ingame decision making (since this doesn't tell you why all the cards are optimal)

(granted she doesn't really need these recovery skills unless you're building her for TT, but it'd be nice to have like.. idk... somewhere at the bottom listing which cards the skills come from and what to swap them with? this is all mostly for new players - who are more likely to read guides)
