Pop & Polish Effects and Skill Info

Unique Skill Effect

Pop & Polish Icon Pop & Polish
Rarity Unique
Effect Get hyped and increase velocity when pressured by or passing another runner while well-positioned on the final straight.
Skill Points 180

Pop & Polish is a Unique Skill that will activate during the final straight of a race if it meets one of two conditions. The first is if you are an overtake target, and are lower than 2nd place and in the top 30% of the total number of racers (around 2nd or 3rd in Champions Meet races). The second is if you are in the top 20% of the total number of racers (2nd place in Champions Meet races) and have just overtaken another racer.

Because of the strict conditions of the Unique Skill, it is better to use it on Pace Chasers to ensure that you are near the front of the pack during the final straight. Once the Unique Skill gets reworked in the future to make it easier to activate, you can also use the Unique Skill on Late Surgers.
