Wedding Curren Chan Stats And Skills
Wedding Curren Chan is a highly specialized Pace Chaser for Sprint tracks. She also possesses the ideal stat growth for Sprint-10% on Speed, Power, and Wit. However, her low Mile aptitude and abysmal Medium aptitude make her incredibly difficult to train in Trackblazer.
| Unique Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
One True Color | If positioned toward the front with 350m or less remaining and there is another Umamusume close behind, the determination to stay ahead makes it easier to break out of the pack. |
[One True Color] is one of the best speed/acceleration unique skills for 1200-meter tracks, due to the speed carryover that occurs right before Curren Chan enters the spurt zone. While this unique skill may be slightly weaker in other Sprint distances (1000-meter and 1400-meter), its hybrid nature always grants a benefit whenever it activates.
| Potential Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Sprinting Gear | Slightly increase acceleration on a straight. (Sprint) | |
Adored by All | Intimidate runners behind when positioned toward the front early-race. (Sprint) | |
Pace Chaser Savvy ○ | Moderately increase ability to get into a good position. (Pace Chaser) | |
Turbo Sprint | Increase acceleration on a straight. (Sprint) |
| Innate Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Hesitant Front Runners | Slightly decrease velocity of front runners late-race. | |
Pace Chaser Corners ○ | Slightly increase velocity on a corner. (Pace Chaser) | |
Intimidate | Moderately intimidate runners behind when positioned toward the front early-race. (Sprint) |
| Event Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Frenzied Late Surgers | Increase time needed for late surgers to calm down when they become rushed. | |
Sprint Corners ○ | Slightly increase velocity on a corner. (Sprint) | |
Disorient | Slightly narrow the field of view for runners behind when positioned toward the front late-race. (Pace Chaser) | |
Sprinting Gear | Slightly increase acceleration on a straight. (Sprint) |
Wedding Fine Motion Stats And Skills
Wedding Fine Motion is ideally a Pace Chaser for Mile and Medium tracks. Her stat growths are 10% on Guts and 20% on Wit, which may apply pressure on your Speed cards when building a deck that maximizes Speed.
| Unique Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Best Day Ever | If well-positioned late-race on the final corner or later, increase velocity. If there's a large distance left to the finish, also increase acceleration very slightly with perfect form. |
[Best Day Ever] is a bi-conditional unique skill that grants speed at a late-race final corner, and grants additional acceleration if there's at least 400 meters remaining at the time of activation. This unique skill is highly favorable in Mile races, where the spurt zone often sits on the final corner. For most Medium tracks, the skill behaves closer to a late-race speed boost after the spurt zone ends.
| Potential Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Mile Corners ○ | Slightly increase velocity on a corner. (Mile) | |
Changing Gears | Increase passing ability when positioned toward the front mid-race. (Mile) | |
Fall Runner ○ | Moderately increase performance in fall. | |
Neck and Neck | Increase acceleration when positioned toward the front late-race. (Pace Chaser) |
| Innate Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Firm Conditions ○ | Moderately increase performance on firm ground. | |
Head-On | Slightly increase acceleration when positioned toward the front late-race. (Pace Chaser) | |
Shifting Gears | Slightly increase passing ability when positioned toward the front mid-race. (Mile) |
| Event Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
Pace Chaser Corners ○ | Slightly increase velocity on a corner. (Pace Chaser) | |
All I've Got | Slightly increase velocity when well-positioned on a straight in the last spurt. (Medium) | |
Mile Straightaways ○ | Slightly increase velocity on a straight. (Mile) | |
Prepared to Pass | Slightly increase ability to break out of the pack on the final corner. (Pace Chaser) |
| Secret Events | Cannot be obtained in Trackblazer | |
|---|---|---|
Standing By | Slightly decrease fatigue mid-race. (End Closer) | |
Up-Tempo | Slightly increase positioning ability when positioned toward the front mid-race. (Medium) | |
Straight Descent | Slightly improve running on a downhill. (Pace Chaser) | |
Updrafters | Slightly increase passing ability when positioned toward the back late-race. (Mile) | |
Preferred Position | Slightly decrease fatigue mid-race. (Pace Chaser) | |
Head-On | Slightly increase acceleration when positioned toward the front late-race. (Pace Chaser) |
Should You Pull Analysis
Wedding Curren Chan
Strengths
- Excellent stat growth
- Strong unique skill for Sprint tracks
- Well-rounded kit
Weaknesses
- Terrible aptitudes for Trackblazer training
- Lacks many mid-race skills to fight for position
While Wedding Curren's kit makes her look like a formidable contender for Sprint CMs, her aptitudes are her biggest hurdle, leaving her out of several stat-providing epithets. [D] Mile is already bad enough, but [G] Medium locks her out of the Triple Tiara route, which is often worth hundreds of stat points in total.
However, this won't be much of an issue once we enter the next career scenario, and Wedding Curren can unlock her full potential in many future Sprint CMs.
Wedding Fine Motion
Strengths
- Decent aptitude for Trackblazer
- Strong potential for Mile races
- Excellent Potential skills
Weaknesses
- Unique Skill can whiff if final corner is late
- Original Fine Motion's unique skill is usually better for mid-race
Wedding Fine Motion is a bizarre side-grade to her original version. While the wedding version is specialized for Mile tracks and has stronger Potential skills, the original version offers better stat growths (15% in Power, 15% in Wit) and a more consistent unique skill.
If you really like Fine Motion, she's definitely a strong Pace Chaser on Mile tracks, while the original version can be used more effectively on Medium tracks.
Rating
Wedding Curren Chan - 1/5 (Trackblazer), 4/5 (Future Scenario)
Wedding Fine Motion - 3.5/5
F2P Value - Low to Moderate
