Increase velocity by deriving a path to victory mid-race after staying well-positioned from the start of the race up until the second half. |

Biwa Hayahide's Unique Skill has two major activation requirements. The first is that she must stay within the top 40% of the total racers (4th or better in CM races) during the first half of the race. Afterward, during the second half, she must be at or below 2nd place, but within 40% of the total racers (2nd to 4th in CM races).
This makes it a reliable skill, as she can meet the activation requirements when running as a Pace Chaser or even as a Front Runner (as long as you are not in the lead). Its biggest weakness, however, is that Biwa Hayahide can easily be pushed out of the top 40% if there are multiple Front Runners and Pace Chasers, preventing her Unique Skill from activating.

Biwa Hayahide (Rouge Caroler) is a decent unit with access to good skills, a good stat growth spread, and a decent Unique Skill that is easy to activate. While she is a good unit on her own, she sadly shares the banner with Oguri Cap (Christmas), who overshadows her.
Despite this, rolling for Biwa Hayahide is still a good idea if you want to get a good Pace Chaser for Long races, or if you like Biwa Hayahide as a character. Even if you don't get Biwa Hayahide, you can still potentially get Oguri Cap (Ashen Miracle), making rolling for Biwa Hayahide a win-win situation.
Biwa Hayahide (Rouge Caroler) is currently on rateup alongside Oguri Cap (Ashen Miracle). The banner will run from January 5, 2026, at 10:00 PM UTC until January 20, 2026, at 9:59 PM UTC.
| Training Tips |
|---|
|
|

When training Biwa Hayahide, use the brand new Unity Cup scenario to take advantage of the new Spirit Burst mechanic. This not only lets you gain more stats than normal, but can also provide useful Skill Hints.
Although Biwa Hayahide can be run as a Late Surger with the right sparks, it is ideal to run her as a Pace Chaser. Doing so allows her to be well-positioned for the first half of the race, which in turn will help activate her Unique Skill.
Additionally, she has easy access to some Pace Chaser skills, such as Pace Chaser Savvy, Pace Chaser Straightaways, and Prepared To Pass.
Reaching Potential Level 5 with Biwa Hayahide will give you access to Homestretch Haste's improved version: In Body and Mind. This is a strong skill that can help you close out races by providing an extra burst of speed in the Last Spurt.
As such, try to max out her Potential to gain easy access to this skill.
Biwa Hayahide will be part of your Long team in Team Trials. To help her perform well there, as well as on the Long races in her career, make sure to improve her Long Aptitude using Legacies and Sparks.
You can also improve her performance in her first major career goal (the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes) by improving her Mile aptitude to at least a B. While this can help you get through her early career, it is not necessary, as you do not need to win the race.
Two of Biwa Hayahide's career goal races (the Kikuka Sho and the Tenno Sho (Spring)) have steep Stamina requirements thanks to their length. To maximize your chances of clearing her career, try to get at least 400 Stamina before the Kikuka Sho, and at least 500 Stamina before the Tenno Sho (Spring).
| 1200 | 1000 | 800 | 400 | 400 |
As a part of your Long team, Biwa Hayahide will need enough Stamina to perform well in any Long race. Getting at least one Gold Recovery Skill is a must to help her in her races, as well as lower the Stamina requirement. A good Gold Recovery skill to consider getting is Swinging Maestro.
If you are only planning to clear a career run with Biwa Hayahide, then you can aim for lower stat numbers, as the stats above are for Team Trials.
For Support Cards, we recommend using either a Speed and Power deck consisting of 3 Speed, 2 Power, and 1 Pal card, or a Speed and Stamina deck consisting of 3 Speed, 2 Stamina, and 1 Pal card. This will help you get the Speed and Stamina that Biwa Hayahide needs for her Long races, as well as the Power to overtake her opponents.
Rice Shower (Happiness Just around the Bend) and Super Creek (Piece of Mind) in particular are important support cards for the Power and Stamina deck respectively as they both provide hints for Swinging Maestro, a reliable Gold Recovery Skill that can help Biwa Hayahide during her career races.
If you do not have Riko Kashimoto (Planned Perfection), you can instead use a fully uncapped Riko Kashimoto (Tracen Academy).
This deck is for players who are starting out and are still trying to get a feel of the game's mechanics and intricacies. This deck can help you get the needed stats to clear the career, while also providing important skills.
Take advantage of the game's borrowing feature to borrow a powerful MLB SSR, like Kitasan Black. Additionally, if you do not have an MLB copy of Riko Kashimoto (Tracen Academy), it would be better to use another SR Stamina card instead.
| Recommended Alternative Support Cards | |
|---|---|
| Speed | |
| Power | |
| Stamina |
These cards will help Biwa Hayahide level her needed Stats (especially with Rainbow/Friendship Training), as well as provide some needed skills.
These stats are enough to clear the URA Finale easily, as they provide enough Speed, Stamina, and Power for all of Gold Ship's career races, especially when partnered with the correct skills. As for the deck, you can either run a 3 Speed, 3 Stamina deck, or a 3 Speed, 2 Stamina, 1 Pal deck, with Tazuna Hayakawa as the preferred Pal card.
| Recommended | |
|---|---|
| 18★ Stamina | |
| 3★ Pace Chaser 3★ Long |
For Legacy Sparks, we recommend trying to find Stamina sparks to help you meet your Stamina requirements, although you can switch some of them for Power sparks if you decide to run a Speed-Stamina deck. As for running style and length, go for Pace Chaser and Long sparks to help Biwa Hayahide perform better in Long Team Trials.
You can use either your own Veterans, or borrow the ones from your friends. If you do not have Veterans with full sparks, you can go with whatever you have access to.
When getting skills for Biwa Hayahide, you will need a good mix of both velocity and acceleration skills to help you keep your position throughout the race, as well as overtake your opponents. Good acceleration skills include Head-On and No Stopping Me, which both activate in the late race.
Good velocity skills include Long and Pace Chaser Corners, Professor of Curvature, and It's On!, all of which can help activate Tail Held High for even more velocity mid-race. In Body and Mind, on the other hand, will help Biwa Hayahide close out races with a final increase in velocity in the last spurt.
For recovery skills, we highly recommend Swinging Maestro, as it is a reliable Gold Recovery Skill, although alternatives like Hydrate can be used. As for inherited Unique Skills, skills like Triumphant Pulse and Shadow Break are easy to activate for Pace Chasers, and can help Biwa Hayahide win her races.
If you cannot get the recommended skills, you can replace them with similar skills that you have access to. You will just need to make sure that Biwa Hayahide can activate said skills in a race.

Biwa Hayahide's secret event, Our Method, requires her to win the Triple Crown during her career. To do so, she must win the Satsuki Sho, Japanese Derby, and Kikuka Sho. Once she has achieved the Triple Crown, she will encounter this secret event during Senior Year, Early December.
Take note that winning the Triple Crown may be difficult, as you will encounter Winning Ticket and Narita Taishin during the Triple Crown races, both of which have higher stats than normal. Because of this, make sure to prepare well for the Triple Crown Races. In particular, make sure to have around 400 Stamina before the Kikuka Sho to help you survive the race.

It seems the Staightaway Acceleration hint from the Our Method hidden even may also be random as I just did it and received the +10s but not the hint
