Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) Unique Skill

Ambition to Surpass the Sakura Icon Ambition to Surpass the Sakura Increase velocity with blossoming ambition when well-positioned and close to the runner ahead with 300m or less remaining.

Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom)'s Unique Skill increases velocity when the user meets the following condtions:

  • 300m or less remaining
  • Positioned around the 40% (2nd-4th in 9-gate CM/2-5th in 12-gate TT) of the pack and has a runner in front of you.

For securing a consistent activation of this skill, ideally you'll want the user to be a Pace Chaser as it is the closest to the front and will be the easiest running style to activate this skill.

Is Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) Worth It

Pull Only if You Want a Medium Runner for Team Trials

Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) is an overall decent Medium runner that has the aptitude and skills to improve her performance in this track. Her Unique Skill is easy to activate as she only needs to be close to whoever is in front of her in the last 300m of the race but is not a particularly powerful skill to pass down.

Although, one of the main issues with her is that Spring Spectacle is limited to Spring season only so it does not activate in other seasons.

Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) Career Training Tips

Training Tips



Train in the Unity Cup Scenario

Unity Cup (Aoharu Hai)
When training Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom), 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.

Unity Cup Scenario Guide

Run Her as Pace Chaser

Running Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) as a Pace Chaser is the best choice, as she has access to Pace Chaser skills, as well as an A-rank aptitude for the running style. Additionally, her Unique Skill activates when she is well-positioned and close to the runner ahead with 300m or less remaining, which she can easily achieve by running as a Pace Chaser.

Be Aware of Japan Cup and Arima Kinen

Japan Cup and Arima Kinen are some of the races Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) are participating in. However, Maruzensky and Mr. C.B. will participate in Japan Cup and Arima Kinen in Senior Year respectively who have higher stats compared to others which can be difficult to win against. You will need to win these races so you can unlock Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom)'s Hidden events in these races.

Additionally, Arima Kinen is an optional race and you would need to raise Sakura Chiyono O's aptitude of Long to stand a chance.

Possible Objective Change After Classic Autumn Tenno Sho

You can possibly choose between Yasuda Kinen (Mile) or Takarazuka Kinen (Medium) as your next objective after the Classic Autumn Tenno Sho.

Note that choosing any is fine since the rewards that you will get are the same.

We highly recommend also having a rare Recovery Skill like Swinging Maestro or Gourmand for her Medium races.

Budget Build

Speed-Stamina Setup

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.

Stamina and Power sparks are recommended for Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) for better performance. Stamina sparks is preferable in most cases, but you can try Power sparks if you can supplement enough Stamina for her otherwise in training. Aside from those, it is recommended to have a Medium spark, as most of her races are Medium tracks.

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.

Running Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) mainly as a Medium Pace Chaser, we recommend you pick up the appropriate Pace Chaser and Medium Corner and Straightaway picks whenever they are available. These are usually good in every mode, along with green passives appropriate to the tracks she runs in.

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 Sakura Chiyono O (Strength in Full Bloom) can activate said skills in a race.
