What Makes Nakayama Festa Good?
Nakayama Festa’s SSR Stamina support card shines as a very good, stamina-focused option for Medium to Long Distance runners, thanks to its strong Friendship Bonus, mood effects, and Initial Stamina boost. Nakayama also has a pretty high specialty priority, which helps activate friendship training more consistently and make stamina sessions appear earlier and more often. On top of that, her solid hint rate and hint level bonuses make it easier to pick up higher-value skills without overspending skill points, which is especially helpful in stamina-heavy builds that already juggle multiple priorities.
In terms of skills, Nakayama Festa offers a useful mix of late-race and positioning tools, including All I’ve Got, Late Surger Straightaways ○, Outer Swell, and the Rare Skill Come What May, which adds extra speed in Medium-distance races. She also provides situational but valuable racecourse skills like Nakayama Racecourse ○ and Hanshin Racecourse ○, giving her niche upside in specific Champions Meeting settings. While she lacks a race bonus and benefits more from higher limit breaks, her balanced combination of stable stamina growth and practical race skills makes her a dependable pick for trainers building a consistent long-race runner.
Should You Pull for Nakayama Festa SSR Stamina?
Nakayama Festa is worth considering if you’re looking for a Stamina support that helps Medium to long-distance runners while providing useful late-race and positioning skills.
