Core Principles for Daiwa Scarlet Success
This build prioritizes early race dominance through strategic stat allocation and skill optimization. The goal is simple: seize 1st place quickly and maintain it without requiring maxed-out attributes.
Speed Reigns Supreme
Key Stat Order:
- Speed: Mandatory focus for activating her Red Ace skill
- Power: Aim for 500+ to resist overtakes
- Stamina: 350+ (sufficient for Medium courses)
- Wit: 400+ for skill consistency
- Guts: Irrelevant for this strategy
Optimal Support Card Setup
- 4 Speed Cards: Kitasan Black/Suzuka/Hayahide to boost early lead potential
- 1 Stamina Card: Super Creek for sustainable racing
- 1 Wit Card: Fine Motion for skill triggers and stamina management
Alternative with Limited Speed Cards
“Use 3 Speed + 2 Wit cards if lacking Speed options. Slightly reduces maximum velocity but improves skill reliability.”
Avoid: Double Stamina configurations – they dilute Speed focus unnecessarily.
Training Tactics
- Prioritize Speed drills until Level 5 attainment
- Only deviate for:
- Drills with 3+ support characters
- Critical skill hints (Corner/Straightaway Adept)
- Use Wit sessions for partial stamina recovery
- Maximize support friendships early for training efficiency
- Avoid Guts training completely
Essential Skills
- Red Ace (Non-negotiable): Core speed boost when leading
- Corner/Straightaway Adept: Early advantage builders
- Firm Conditions: Reliable track adaptation
- Optional: Homestretch Haste or Swinging Maestro for backup
Race Configuration

Key Takeaways
- Speed > Power > Wit priority chain
- Minimum 350 Stamina for Medium races
- Front-runner legacy selection critical
