Out of all the running styles in this game, Late Surgers are best suited for PvP modes, where most runners are going to have good stats and skills. However, there are drawbacks to using this style as well. Here’s a list of all the pros and cons:

ProsCons
This style is great for running medium to mile races. You are going to have a hard time in sprints and longs. 
There are a lot of good skills that synergize with this running style. Getting blocked by other players can cause you to lose the entire race. 
You can going to have an advantage racing against other players. PvE modes typically feature racers with bad skills and stats, which results in blocks. 
You can apply a lot of different debuffs to other racers. 

Umamusume like Symboli Rudolf and Bakushin are perfect for this type of style due to their unique skills that help them during the final sprint.

Due to your position at the back of the race, stats like Power and Guts are going to help you significantly. The Power stat allows your Uma Girls to reach their top speed at a much faster pace. Moreover, higher Guts means your trainee activates her skills more frequently. Both of these stats should be at A rank or higher by the end of the career.

The second important stat will be Speed, which you need to raise to Rank B+. Higher Speed in this game equals better top speed, and you will need a lot of it during the final sprint toward the finish line.

Skills 

As mentioned before, Late Surgers have access to a lot of good skills. Here are some that you should purchase as soon as you see them in the Skill Shop:

  • Fast & Furious
