Stat Priorities

  • Speed: Main focus. Hit 1000–1200+ for top speed.
  • Power: Aim for 450+ to handle turns and keep the lead.
  • Wit: Get 350+ for better skill triggers.
  • Stamina: Just 300 is enough for sprints.
  • Guts: Ignore it. Doesn’t help her sprint game.

Support Card Setup

  • Ideal: 4–5 Speed cards (SSR Sakura Bakushin O, El Condor Pasa) + 1 Power or Wit card (SSR Oguri Cap, Fine Motion). Borrow a strong Speed SSR like Kitasan Black.
  • Beginner: 3 Speed, 1 Stamina, 1 Power, 1 Wit. Free SRs work fine.
  • Tip: Build bond levels early for rainbow training boosts.
