The 3-star Pace Chaser has base stats ranging from 99 Speed, 60 Stamina, 108 Power, 91 Guts, and 92 Wit. After fully upgrading to 5-star, it boasts 120 Speed, 74 Stamina, 132 Power, 111 Guts, and 113 Wit.
Meanwhile, her stat bonuses provide a 20% boost to Power then 10% for Guts. This makes her naturally suited for aggressive racing strategies. She specialized with Turf A-Rank, Sprint A-rank, and Mile B-rank. However, she ranked F and G respectively for Medium and Long distances races.
Unique Skills and Abilities
With her YUMMY☆SPEED! skill, Hishi Akebono provides a powerful forward kick when she begins tiring while we’ll-positioned halfway through the race. This skill only activates depending on your stamina levels. So it is quite unpredictable but highly effective when timed properly.
It will also receive future rebalancing, removing the stamina requirements and involves overtakes instead. If you prefer this type of racing style, then pick Hishi Akebono as her skills fit perfectly. Then, Sunny Days helps increase her performance in favorable weather conditions.
On the other hand, Hydrate provides slight stamina recovery during the race for Pace Chasers. Alongside, Meticulous Measures helps her prepare for the finish line with moderate sprint preparation mid-race. As you raise her potential levels, she will unlock additional powerful abilities such as:
-
- Perfect Prep!: Unlocks at Potential Level 3 and enhances your mid-race acceleration plus navigation.
- Gourmand: Access in Level 5 and provides recovery for endurance mid-race for Phase Chasers.
Recommended Build Strategy
To maximize her performance, aim for approximately 500 Stamina, 1200 Speed, 900 Power, and 400 each for Guts and Wits. This stat distribution helps to maximize her Sprint racing potential while still ensuring sufficient stamina for skill activation. Then, focus on Speed and Power as your primary stats for shorter distances.
Include three Speed cards and three Wit cards, or substitute one card for a Pal support in your composition. Definitely, it still depends on your scenario needs but ideally this composition works well. For Legacy Sparks, prioritize 9-star Stamina and Power sparks to meet minimum race requirements.
On the other hand, the aptitude sparks should focus on 3-star Pace Chaser and Sprint ratings, enhancing her natural strengths. Consider training in the Unity Cup scenario as well to develop Hishi Akebono for higher stat achievements.
