Best stats

In Medium races, Stamina is very important, but Speed still remains your top priority if you want to win. For styles other than Front Runner, which save Stamina early, boosting Power is key to pushing ahead in the second half. No matter your style, make sure to equip at least one Stamina-recovery skill.

Style	Speed	Stamina	Power	Wit	Gut
Front runner	800	600	400	400	300
Pace chaser	700	500	600	400	300
Late surger	700	500	700	400	300
End closer	700	500	800	400	300

Best support cards

Front Runners should prioritize Speed support cards over Power, as training the former stat will naturally boost the latter as well. Meanwhile, Late Surgers and End Closers need to use both Speed and Power support cards to break through the pack in the final stretch.

Style	Speed support cards	Stamina support cards	Power support cards	Wit support cards	Gut support cards
Front Runner	3	2	0	1	0
Pace Chaser	2	2	1	1	0
Late Surger	2	1	2	1	0
End Closer	2	1	2	1	0

Legacy picks

If your Uma doesn’t start with an “A” rank in Medium races, pick a Legacy that helps raise her rank. Choose a Legacy with a three-star spark, especially in Speed, and try to get skills that fit your build. As long as the Legacy has solid stats and skills, almost any character can serve as a great pick for Medium races.

Best skills

Look for multiple skills that activate or support your character’s unique skill. Always include at least one Stamina-recovery skill. Prioritize gold-bordered skills, and avoid spending over 130 SP on anything that only “slightly” boosts a stat — go for ones that “increase” or “greatly increase” instead.
