Ines Fujin Stats And Skills
Ines Fujin is a versatile Front Runner for Mile and Medium distance, plus Long distance when trained on 4 Long legacy sparks. She has a 15% stat bonus on Speed and Guts, making her suited for Guts decks on shorter-distance tracks.
| Unique Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
All Charged! It's Go Time! | Moderately increase velocity when positioned toward the front with about 300m remaining. If coming out of an uphill, greatly increase velocity instead. |
Ines Fujin's unique skill is a homestretch skill that triggers at the remaining 300m point, which becomes a boosted version once specific conditions are met. When she is coming out of a slope right at the final 300m mark, her unique skill triggers with an 80% stronger effect.
This conditional scenario is highly specific to very few races, including the 2400-meter Tokyo Derby. Outside of the races mentioned, the base bonus that her unique skill grants remains on the weaker side compared to others.

Should You Pull Analysis
Ines Fujin
Strengths
- Excels in Tokyo Derby
- Access to strong Front Runner Skills
- Good innate recovery
- Easy Trackblazer career
Weaknesses
- Weak unique skill outside of the specific condition
- Overshadowed by meta Front Runners
Ines Fujin is, no doubt, a strong Front Runner thanks to her well-rounded kit. However, due to her relatively weak unique skill, she falls behind those with more potent kits, such as Valentine's Mihono Bourbon and Summer Maruzensky. Ines Fujin's innate [Speed Eater] makes her a strong hybrid runner for Mile races, while her innate [Restless] lowers her required investment to run Long races. [Wild Wind] is also a great hybrid skill that lowers other runners' speed, but its short duration and high SP cost make it unappealing unless you have a surplus of SP at the end of the run.
Rating
Ines Fujin - 4/5
F2P Value - Moderate
