Stamina or Endurance?

If I don't hold Sprint all the time I always lose. If I hold Sprint all the time Stamina runs out at 75-80% of race, but I still can win if RNG favors. What should I improve to increase sprinting time, Stamina or Endurance?

Try your timing. I win in 3rd-1st place frequently just by timing my sprints correctly. Lathered is what you want to avoid so as soon as it pops let off of sprint for a few seconds and it makes stamina consumption more efficient.

Try and save at least around 30-40% of your stamina for the 80% mark then sprint the rest of the way to the finish line. It's just energy management mostly. Even ridiculously good stats wont compensate for bad energy management.

i have max stars in stamina and endurence and was feeding stamina food. i know how to manage my stamina with the sprint and lathered status. but i have the exact same problem. if i manage my stamina i am to slow to win. if i sprint the whole race i have no stamina left and can't win too.

and that's only on sagolii. it is absolutely impossible to make a good place on that forest-raceway for me.

i tend to evenly level endurance, stamina and max speed.. i manage my stamina throughout the race and always manage to get top 3 unless i get hit by 2 meteors in a row lol happened last night last 1/3 of the race had no energy due to 2 meteors lmao

You hear different opinions on this. Some say managing stamina is the way to go, others say they cant win in higher races unless they hold sprint all the time. Personally im trying to get abilities that help with stamina and just sprint all/most of the time. Increased Stamina III is extremely useful for this, imo the best ability right now.

lol, i tried that. my chocobo learned increased stamina II and now i win almost every race lol. i often have stamina left at the end of the race. thanks for the tip xD until wich lvl my chocobo can learn lvl 3 skills? 40+ ?

Is it worth investing in Increased Stamina before pedigree 9? Looks like it costs a lot of MGP and does not transfers to the next pedigree.

i didn't bought it. my chocobo learned the skill at lvl up. the 60k for the lvl2 skill is way too expensive. i want the lvl 3 skill but i think the chocobo has to be lvl 40+ fot the chance to learn it. so 10 trys with rng until he reach lvl 50 xD if he learns it i will choose that skill for breeding so the next generation boko will have it.

that skill is really like a stamina increase. before i had that skill i was out of stamina at 90% of the track. now i have about 12% stamina left at 90%. and i could swear it affects that bacchus water too c.c,, so with that skill you have a weapon against the balancing fails from 2.55 and with the good balancing parts from that patch the chocobo race is almost perfect xD

i learned increased stamina III somewhere between rank 31 and 35 on my pedigree 7 chocobo. i used the 600 mgp item to unlearn my old ability before every lvl up until i got it. I did this on pedigree 7 because thats when i started breeding with two retired chocobos, which makes it much easier to keep your desired ability.
