Admire Vega is built for Medium-distance turf races and performs best as an End Closer. She has 10% Speed and 20% Power growth, making Speed-Power training efficient and helping her overtake multiple runners during the final phase. Her skills focus on late-race movement and positioning. Tools like Masterful Gambit and Sturm und Drang help her move up from the back before the final stretch, while Nimble Navigator and Levelheaded help maintain consistency when dealing with traffic.

Her unique skill, Shooting Star of Dioskouroi, activates on the final straight when she is far from the lead, granting a velocity boost. The effect becomes stronger if she is positioned near the very back of the pack. However, the condition requires her to be significantly behind in the race, which can make the activation inconsistent. Admire Vega performs most reliably in Medium-distance End Closer builds with strong Speed and Power investment.

Admire Vega - Ideal Stats, Support Cards, Deck Build, and Parent

Recommended Stats
Career	1200	700	900	350	500

Admire Vega’s career objectives focus primarily on Medium-distance turf races. Most key goals fall in the Medium range and only occasionally in long-distance races. Her schedule favors Medium-distance races. It's highly likely that the URA Finals will also be a Medium race.

1200 Speed, 700 Stamina, 900 Power, 350 Guts, and 500 Wit is a reliable recommended stat line to clear Career consistently. Speed and Power support her End Closer playstyle during the final stretch, while Stamina ensures stability across Medium-distance races. Wit helps with skill activation and positioning consistency throughout the race.

Recommended Support Cards

Supports Card List

Support Card Build

• 3 Speed - 2 Stam - 1 Pal
• 3 Speed - 1 Stam - 1 Power - 1 Pal

Recommended Parents

Training Strategy

Phase 1

Prioritize Speed training early. Pair Speed training with occasional Power training to support her End Closer overtaking ability. Wit can be trained lightly for stability, but avoid heavy investment in Stamina early since her initial objectives do not demand it.

Phase 2

As her schedule shifts toward consistent 2000–2400m races, begin increasing Stamina to meet safe Medium-distance requirements. Continue adding Power training to improve overtaking strength during the final phase. Maintain Wit at a functional level so skills and positioning remain consistent.

Phase 3

Once Speed approaches the target, focus on balancing Power and Stamina to maintain strong late-race performance. Power helps her push through traffic during the last spurt, while Stamina ensures she can sustain pace through Medium-distance races. Wit should be at least 350.

Should You Pull for Admire Vega (Starry Nocturne)?

Admire Vega is a Medium-distance turf runner designed for the End Closer role. Her kit focuses on moving up from the back and preparing for the last spurt with skills that improve late positioning and maneuverability. Her Unique Skill, Shooting Star of Dioskouroi, activates on the final straight when she is far from the lead, granting a velocity boost that becomes stronger if she is positioned near the very back.

• PULL if she is your favorite (Oshi): Waifu!
• PULL if you want a Medium-distance End Closer: Her Speed - Power growth and closing skills support consistent late-race overtakes.
• SKIP if you are chasing meta: Her Unique requires being far behind in the final straight, making the activation less reliable compared to stronger competitive options.

Admire Vega focuses on late-race closing power, making her most effective in Medium-distance turf races as an End Closer.
