Taiki Shuttle’s skills are especially suited for running Mile races. She is also capable of excelling in Short races with the Front Runner style. In addition to bonus speed and with gains from training, Taiki Shuttle has several skills that activate when she is in the first half of the pack. Choosing Pace Racer over Front Runner helps conserve stamina and makes it possible to activate her unique skill, but the following build recommendation is suitable for either.

When the career begins, prioritize levelling up friendships with the support cards by training their respective stats until their bars turn orange. This unlocks friendship training, providing skill hints and additional stat increases with each training session.

Primary Stat

Speed is by far the most important stat to focus on while running Short and Mile races. The events are primarily decided by top speed, with horse girls sprinting for the finish line. With the help of support cards, legacies, and events, speed should be trained to 1000+ for Short and 900+ for Mile races. Taiki Shuttle has a 20% gain from Speed training due to her stat bonuses, allowing you to reach lofty targets with relative ease. 

Secondary Stats

Power, Stamina, and Wit are all secondary stats to improve after speed. Stamina has little importance in the short-distance event, but more so for Mile. Power gains value in both events for the overtaking required to surge ahead of the pack close to the finish line. Training Wit increases the stat by an additional 10% due to her innate ability. Improve mood and regenerate some energy with Wit training, reducing the need to spend turns on resting.

  • 1 Power
  • 1 Wit
  • 1 Guest 

Legacy

Choose Legacy cards with a similar preference for track length and running style for higher affinity. Some examples include:

  • King Halo
  • Sakura Bakushin O
  • Haru Urara
  • Maruzensky

Cycle between the available legacy options to see the ideal combination of high affinity, stat bonuses, and skill hints. 

Skills 

The majority of Taiki Shuttle’s skills support running Pace Chaser in the Mile event. Her unique skill, “Shooting for Victory!,” improves her acceleration if she is in the middle of the pack during the second half of the final corner. However, treat this skill like a fail-safe rather than a reliable way to assure victory. The best skills for Taiki Shuttle should:

  • Increase starting, straight, and cornering speed
  • Improve skill uptime
  • Benefit mood
