A running style is assigned to the Uma. You do not pick it in a menu. It changes max speed, stamina use, regen, acceleration, and how fast speed falls off.
Numbers printed on November 23, 2025
That note buffed Front Runner and slightly nerfed Pace Chaser, then printed this table.
| Style | Max speed | Stamina use | Stamina regen | Speed gain | Speed decay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front Runner | +5% | +20% | -10% | +15%, parenthetical says slower acceleration | -5% |
| Pace Chaser | none | -15% | +10% | -5% | -8% |
| Late Surger | +7% | -16% | +15% | -6.5% | +10% |
The Front Runner speed-gain cell is printed as +15% and, in the same cell, "slower acceleration." Those two readings conflict. The other styles' parentheticals match their signs. Do not "correct" the +15% into a new official number.
A May 1, 2026 style blurb says Front Runners regen stamina quicker and that Late Surgers have a small speed decay. The regen sentence conflicts with the -10% cell. The decay sentence matches Late Surger.
Who is in each style
Confirmed on the November 2025 table and repeated in May 2026:
- Front Runner: Silence Suzuka
- Pace Chaser: Tamamo Cross, Rice Shower, Oguri Cap, Daiwa Scarlet, Air Groove
- Late Surger: Gold Ship, Haru Urara
Later roster notes add:
- Pace Chaser: Mejiro McQueen (Update 1.3), Yaeno Muteki (Update 1.2), Tokai Teio (Update 1.4)
- Late Surger: T.M. Opera O (Update 1.1). Nice Nature is also labeled Late Surger on a page that marks the style as needing a citation.
Meisho Doto, Super Creek, and Neo Universe did not have a style in the pages retrieved here.
How to race the style you actually have
Front Runner takes the lead early and pays a higher stamina bill. Silence Suzuka is the documented example. Do not copy her opening if you are on Gold Ship.
Pace Chaser is the efficient middle. Sit with the leaders, spend less stamina than a Front Runner, and accept the slower acceleration.
Late Surger is weak early and faster at the end, and she drops speed if you coast. Gold Ship and Haru Urara need a real final Spurt. Opera O is also filed here, with her own surround Skill.
Compare kits on the tier board. The letters there are editorial, and they are not a substitute for the style you were assigned.
