Stamina will once again be the most difficult stat to acquire for this CM. Although there is a longer downhill compared to the previous CM, the longer distance combined with the Stamina/Guts Racetrack Speed threshold makes 867-901 the optimal amount of Stamina. Similarly, at least 577-601 Guts is recommended for the additional Speed threshold, while 867-901 would be optimal if possible.

Inherited Skills

WARNING

Due to requiring a Skill activation on the final Corner, Commander Special Week's Unique can be inconsistent without other final Corner Skills such as Inside Scoop.

Front Runners

Similar to the previous Long CMs, CM20’s late-race begins on the backstretch, with a corner shortly following in 33 meters. Therefore, the viable Accels are Angling and Scheming, Victory Cheer!, and Break It Down!.

WARNING

Due to both Angling and Scheming and Break It Down! being Seiun Sky Unique Skills, one of the two Skills can only be acquired from the sub-Legacy layer on one Legacy. Due to the difficulty of obtaining all 3 Accel Uniques along with the subsequent SP costs, players can consider only taking 2 out of the 3 Skills.

Pace Chasers

Like most CMs, Pace Chasers have very little Accel in terms of inherited Unique Skills, and must rely on Front Runner Acceleration Skills, such as Victory Cheer! and Angling and Scheming. However, Pace Chasers do have a generic option in My True Strength, a Pace/Long White Acceleration Skill.

WARNING

​ My True Strength has a pre-condition of being within 4 Lengths of the front-most Uma towards the end of the mid-race. If there is a Runaway in the lobby, there is a high chance that the Uma will be unable to meet this pre-condition.

Late Surgers

Late Surgers have a new Acceleration Skill in Claw Forward/ Scramble, which provides instant Acceleration in exchange for a 2% HP Drain. While Moving Past, and Beyond is delayed, it can still be considered for a secondary Accel source. However, due to the difficulty in making a Long Mejiro Dober Legacy, players can also choose to omit this step.

End Closers

Similar to the previous Arima Kinen CM, the most important Accel Skill for End Closers is Straightaway Spurt. While Moving Past, and Beyond is delayed, it can still be considered for a secondary Accel source. However, due to the difficulty in making a Long Mejiro Dober Legacy, players can also choose to omit this step.
