Race Mechanics Charts
This article is an interactive version of KuromiAK's race mechanics documentation to give a better sense of how mechanics scale with stats and aptitudes.
Mechanics are organized in this article according to the stats that determine them. Those that vary with multiple stats, e.g. spurt speed, appear in all relevant sections with differing horizontal axes. Mechanics that vary with race distance, distance aptitudes, and surface aptitudes have controls to change each by their charts.
Only numeric mechanics that vary with stats and aptitudes are shown. Descriptions of concepts and conditions are left to the original source.
§ Speed
¶ Spurt Speed
Target speed during the Uma's last spurt. See also the effect of Guts.
¶ Late Race Speed
Base target speed during late race when the Uma is not spurting (but not dead yet).
§ Stamina
¶ HP
Max HP, i.e. starting HP.
§ Power
¶ Move Lane Modifier
Target speed bonus when changing lanes while under the effect of a lane change speed skill. See lane combo.
¶ Uphill Target Speed Loss
Target speed modifier while running uphill.
¶ Acceleration
Acceleration, i.e. the rate of change of forward velocity when target speed is greater than current speed. Stats do not affect deceleration (acceleration when target speed is less than current speed).
¶ Lane Change Target Speed
Horizontal (rather than forward) target speed of changing lanes.
¶ Fully Charged Acceleration
Bonus acceleration at spurt start from the Charge Up/Fully Charged mechanic. Scales with base power plus passive skills, so modifiers for ground conditions and career mode do not apply.
The duration of Fully Charged does not depend directly on stats, but rather on a hidden conserved power value which increases per horse throughout the race. Conserved power does not increase while spot struggling, so for front runners, the duration may scale negatively with guts. It also does not increase while running in any position keep mode other than pace-down, so its duration may have a very slight negative correlation with wit. Rushed additionally prevents accumulating conserved power, so full charge duration may scale positively with wit amortized across races. Otherwise, power conservation rate depends on running style.
§ Guts
¶ Spurt Speed
Target speed during the Uma's last spurt. See also the effect of Speed.
¶ Minimum Speed
Forced minimum speed, as well as target speed when out of HP.
¶ Late Race HP Consumption Rate Modifier
Multiplier on HP consumption rate during late race and last spurt phase.
¶ Spot Struggle
Speed boost and duration of spot struggle.
¶ Dueling
Speed boost and acceleration boost of dueling.
§ Wit
¶ Section Speed
Random variance in target speed per race section.
¶ Downhill Accel Mode Chance
Chance each second to enter downhill accel mode when eligible.
¶ Reduced Spurt Accept Chance
Chance to accept each checked spurt delay and speed when not full spurting.
¶ Skill Activation Chance
Chance that each skill that has a wit check will be eligible to activate. This uses base wit, so style aptitude and passive wit skills do not affect the chance, although mood does.
¶ Position Keep Mode Chance
Chance for front runners to enter speed-up or overtake mode, or for non-front runners to enter pace-up mode (but no effect on pace-down mode), each 2 seconds when eligible.
¶ Rushed Chance
Chance for runners to become rushed at some point during the race. Rushed chance is bracketed to integer percentages.
