New Strategy and Mechanics
NEW STRATEGY - Runaway (TBD but should be "Great Escape")
- A Strategy even more aggressive than Front Runner.
- Currently limited to specific Umamusume (such as Silence Suzuka) with no options for Skill Hint or Inheritance.
NEW MECHANIC - Spot Struggle (TBD but should be "Lead Contest")
- When 2 or more Front Runners or users of "Runaway" Strategy are within a certain distance of each other, participating Umamusume will gain extra Target Velocity, proportional to their Gut.
- Occurs anywhere between 150m after the start of the race and until shortly after the start of the Mid-Race.
- Occurs when Fronts are within 3.75m of each other; or when Runaways are within 5m of each other.
- Additionally, Fronts & Runaways will consume more stamina during the Spot Struggle:
- Front Runners will consume 1.4x Stamina, or 3.6x when Rushing.
- Runaways will consume 3.5x Stamina, or 7.7x when Rushing.
NEW MECHANIC - Dueling (TBD but should be "Showdown")
- When 2 or more Umamusume meet all of the following, "Dueling" will occur:
- All participating Umamusume have similar Current Velocity, within 0.6 m/s of each other.
- Have been within 3m of each other for longer than 2 seconds.
- Have at least 15% HP remaining.
- Are on the Final Straight.
- During a Showdown, all participating Umamusume will gain Target Velocity & Acceleration proportional to their Guts Stat. There is no limit to the duration of a Showdown. When an Umamusume drops below 5% remaining HP, she will drop out of the Showdown.
An Effect in BOLD means it was changed/buff, or is an added new effect. Otherwise, it’s a newly added event for the Uma.
