Air Groove is a Medium-distance Runner who can sweep URA races if you focus on a build with Speed and keep her skill timing consistent. She has balanced growth stats and can handle both Runner and Leader styles, though she needs some support to avoid burnout in the second year.

Her success mostly comes from clean skill triggers, so building Wit above 300 is more important than it looks.

Stat Priorities

Speed

Target 1000+. This is her main stat and should always be trained early and often.

Stamina

Aim for 600+. Enough to survive Medium races without overloading your deck with Stamina cards.

Power

Reach 700+. Helps her position and push forward during the final stretch.

Wit

At least 350+ (but you can MAYBE scrape by with as low as 300) This gives you a solid chance to activate her unique skill and other key passives.

Guts

250+ is fine. Can be skipped if you have decent recovery or energy management.

Best Support Card Layouts

Starter Deck (Beginner Safe)

3 Speed, 1 Stamina, 1 Power, 1 Wit
This gives her stability across the board and works well with early bond growth.

Bond Rush Deck

2 Speed, 2 Power, 1 Wit, 1 Friend
Better if your support cards have strong bond bonuses. Focuses on unlocking rainbow drills before Summer Camp.

Wit-Boost Build (Skill Activation Focus)

2 Speed, 1 Power, 1 Stamina, 1 Wit, 1 Friend
This version sacrifices a little stat potential for higher skill uptime. Good for early URA clears or event-specific runs.

Training Tips

  • Get Speed and Wit bonds to orange as early as possible

  • Use optional races for fans and skill points when training rolls are weak

  • Only Rest if energy is red; otherwise use Recreation or Wit training

  • Make sure Speed training is leveled up by the second Summer Camp

  • Use Summer turns on Speed and Power only

Inheritance Notes

  • Inherit Medium A if missing

  • Add a Power or Recovery skill to improve late-race reliability

  • Avoid inheriting Dirt or Short traits unless doing a meme run

Race Style Options

Air Groove works best as a Runner, but can flex into Leader if your team needs it. Avoid Chaser or Late unless your inheritance is fully stacked for it.

Medium-distance is her sweet spot. Avoid Long unless you stack Stamina and recovery skills carefully.

Final Blurb

Air Groove is one of the easiest Medium-distance girls to train for early URA clears. She’s flexible, efficient, and skill-dependent, which makes her ideal for players who want a balanced run without heavy RNG risk.

If her skills go off, she takes the lead. If they don’t, well... at least she looks good doing it.

TLDR

  • Best as a Medium Runner or Leader

  • Stat goals: Speed 1000+, Stamina 600+, Power 700+, Wit 300+, Guts 250+

  • Use 3 Speed, 1 Stamina, 1 Power, 1 Wit for safety

  • Add a Friend card if support bond growth is slow

  • Focus on getting rainbow drills by Summer Camp

  • Inherit Medium A and one Power or Recovery skill

  • Avoid Long distance unless fully prepared with support and recovery

  • Wit 300+ boosts skill activation and consistency
