Decks

There are two basic frameworks for Trackblazer Decks.

WARNING

The Decks shown below are only basic outlines, and can be flexibly changed depending on the Distance, Skills required, and Growths of an Uma.

Stay at or above 50 Race Bonus!

Speed + Wit

The basic framework for the Speed + Wit Deck is 2 Speed and 2 Wit Cards. The remaining Slots can be filled flexibly depending on the Uma’s Growths and Skills required. Often, two Power Cards with good Skills, such as Yaeno Muteki, El Condor Pasa, or Smart Falcon are used in these Slots.

Wit + Guts

The base framework for this Deck is 3 Guts Cards and 2 Wit Cards. A fourth Guts Card or a Speed Card can be brought depending on the needs of the player.

The basic idea behind this Deck is that the player should mainly buy Guts Anklets, compared to the Speed + Wit Deck needing several different Items. This Deck can also cap Guts, providing an additional advantage over Speed + Wit Decks.

However, it can be difficult to source Skills when using Guts Cards, putting more emphasis on Legacies. In addition, it can also be similarly difficult to hit Stamina requirements for longer Races.

SSR Haru Urara Guts is a great card, but make sure to take its 0 Initial Friendship into account!

Races

In Trackblazer, around half the turns are spent racing: A typical Career can have anywhere from 30 to 40 Races. This is due to the fact that, unlike the two previous Scenarios, Races have additional rewards.

DANGER

An Uma's Career Goals and Secret Events are disabled in Trackblazer.

This can significantly affect an Uma's Career: For example, Silence Suzuka cannot acquire Runaway, and Mejiro Ardan cannot be inflicted with Glass Legs.

Race Rewards

On top of SP and Stats, Trackblazer Races will provide additional rewards: Grade Points and Shop Coins.

Grade Points

In Trackblazer, Uma-specific Career Goals are replaced with 4 Objectives.

DateRequirements (Turf)Requirement (Dirt)
Late June, Junior YearDebut RaceDebut Race
End of Junior Year60 Grade Points30 Grade Points
End of Classic Year300 Grade Points200 Grade Points
End of Senior Year300 Grade Points300 Grade Points

INFO

Sprint Umas with poor Aptitudes in other Distances also follow the Dirt Grade Point Requirements.

DANGER

ALL Grade Points are consumed by the Career Goals, and will not carry over to the next Year.

Shop Coins

Shop coins are currency spent to purchase Items in the Climax Store, a new mechanic introduced in Trackblazer. Shop Coins are awarded based on placement, and are not affected by the Grade of the Race.

The Items are explained in more detail below in the Shop section.

The fundamental gameplay loop consists of Racing for Coins, spending the Coins on Items, and using the Items to improve upcoming Training and Race outcomes. Winning Races may also add new Items to the Shop.

Stats

Epithets/Race Routes

Apart from the Stats directly gained through running Races, Trackblazer also has routes of Races that provide extra Stats when winning all Races included.

Rival Race

In Trackblazer, certain Races will randomly be marked as a Rival Race. When winning a Rival Race, more Stats and a tailored Skill is awarded.

DANGER

Due to the Race Routes and distribution of Graded Races, Umas used in Trackblazer must have at least a C, ideally B Mile and Medium Aptitude to not miss out on a large amount of Stats.

As demonstrated below, most Graded Races are Miles and Mediums. Being unable to run either of these Distances is highly detrimental in Trackblazer.

Rival Races

The Race button when there is a Rival Race

The Race button when there is a Rival Race

On random turns after Early August Junior Year, there will be a Rival Race, noted by the red and blue VS icon on the Races button.

Participating in Rival Races has a chance to add new Items to the Shop. Winning the Rival Race increases these odds, and additionally gives a Skill Hint or +5 to 2 random Stats. Similarly to Team Trials and Unity Cup, the only way to win is to place first; if neither party places first, then it is displayed as a Draw.

INFO

The Skills gained through Rival Races are based on the Distance of the Track and the Running Style used to win the Race.

This is different compared to Spirit Bursts in Unity Cup, which gave Skills based on Aptitude.

Coin Shop and Items

Coin Shop

Coin Shop

The usage of the Coin Shop and Items are often what differentiates good and bad Trackblazer Careers.

The Shop is unlocked after the Debut Race, and refreshes every 6 Turns. Races can add additional items to the shop, which last 3 Turns. After a Shop refresh, the new Items have a chance to be discounted.

Spending the same number of Coins on Hammers across the entire Career will generally yield more effective SP than a one-off buy for Fast Learner.

Gameplay

The most important decision to make in Trackblazer is whether to train or to race. Training remains the best method for acquiring Stats. Outside of G1 Turns, Races can often be skipped in favor of a strong Training. If it doesn’t interfere with any Epithets, G1s can also be skipped for exceptional Training.

Another factor to consider is the Race Fatigue Event from running consecutive Races. As we run many more Races in Trackblazer, knowing the odds of specific downsides in the Race Fatigue Event is conducive to deciding whether to race.

It’s equally important to consider, however, that Race Fatigue Events can and will happen, and can be mitigated through the usage of Items. If holding the right Items, don’t be afraid to Race.

TIP

Mood only affects Stats by 2% per level, and many Races have a chance to raise Mood through the Reporter Events. Because of this, it is recommended to not use Cupcakes until right before Training.

In addition, there are guaranteed Energy and Mood Up Events that can also be used to mitigate the Race Fatigue Event.

Finally, the Race Fatigue Event cannot occur after Late December.

On the other hand, there may be situations where Races are of higher value. For example, if there is a large number of good Items in the current Shop rotation, Races may be prioritized for increasing Coin income.

Junior Year

Pre-Debut

Similar to previous Scenarios, Pre-Debut Turns are spent raising Support Card Friendship (Bond) and Facility levels. As Wit is the most difficult Stat to raise in Trackblazer, it’s recommended to focus on this Facility.

TIP

Because the BBQ Item increases bond evenly across all Cards, its value goes down with each nonessential Card that is under 80 Bond. It is advised to evenly raise Bonds to get maximum value from each BBQ purchased.

WARNING

In Trackblazer, the Debut Race costs Energy!

Post-Debut

After the Debut Race, we unlock other Races. From here on, remember to check Training and Races every Turn, and keep the current Shop rotation in mind. Continue raising the Bond of Support Cards when not Racing.

Here is an example of how the remainder of Junior Year may look:

Classic and Senior Year

Until the Summer of Classic Year, continue focusing on raising the Bonds of all the Support Cards to unlock Friendship Training.

INFO

The base values of the Training Facilities in Trackblazer are the same as Unity Cup, and lower than URA Finale.

Combined with Races having higher value, lone Friendship Trainings are often not worth skipping a Graded Race for.

Fewer Turns are spent on Training in Trackblazer, so Training Facilities level slower on average. Summer Turns are more important since all Training Facilities are at Level 5 during Summer.

TIP

Because the Shop resets on the first Turn of Summer, it is recommended to keep at least 100 Coins unless the previous Shops are exceptional.

Summer

Before entering Classic Year Summer, make sure to have a stockpile of Training Items, Energy Items, and Whistles. Megaphones last two Turns, so at minimum 2 should be saved for the Summer Turns.

If the Training is not sufficient, use Whistles until it is. If the Training is sufficient, use Training Items to further improve the Stat gains.

TIP

If there are no sufficient Trainings and we are out of whistles, we can instead Race for a chance of new Items appearing in the Shop for the following Summer Turns.

After Summer

After Classic Year Summer, continue playing as before. Race unless the Training is sufficient or if we are low on Coins and/or Items.

Twinkle Star Climax

The Twinkle Star Climax is the final 3 Races of Trackblazer, which replaces the URA Finale. The Trainee is assigned points based on placement instead of needing to win all 3 Races.

As long as the Trainee has more combined points than the other Umas, she wins the Twinkle Star Climax. Winning the Twinkle Star Climax awards the player with hints for Radiant Star.

The final result

The final result

Similar to the URA Finale, the Twinkle Star Climax consists of 3 Training Turns and 3 Race Turns. Because there are three Training Turns, remember to have a small number of Training Items to push Stats one last time.

In addition, three Golden Hammers should be saved for the Twinkle Star Climax Races. While these Races give less SP than G1s, they give +10 to all Stats at Base, making it very important to have Hammers for these Races. Alternatively, two Hammers can be saved as there is a high chance the final Shop will have a Hammer to purchase. However, this can be a risky decision. Saving Gold Hammers around Senior Summer onwards is recommended.

Finally, around 150 Coins should be saved for the final Shop as the Twinkle Star Climax Races do not reward Coins.
