So in this one I shall talk about the spot I didn't fully understand until i got my 295 chocobo... Attribute Points...
These are not as big of a deal until you reach the much higher races however adding points to these will help you get first more often so lets start...
First off the bat until you get your pedigree 9 the only thing you should even focus on leveling up is Max speed and Stamina everything else will be pointless i promise you... Some people say but cunning helps me take turns and go through water, acceleration helps me get max speed, or endurance helps me no run out of stamina... NO! BAD!
First off Max speed should always remain about 30 points LOWER than Stamina... Max speed will mean you use more Stamina faster. More stamina means you can go Fast longer.
The only time you should be putting points in to Endurance is when your Stamina is maxed out and you are trying to still raise up Max Speed. If your Stamina is way higher than Speed yet you still run out then bring up Endurance it's NOT a pointless ability to raise up it's just not as important as Stamina and Speed.
Acceleration and Cunning i NEVER boosted until i got my most recent chocobo. Remember we are trying to be efficient with out money so when we get to 9 we have enough MGP (we will come back to that statement later).
You DO NOT need to put points in to the abilities as soon as they become available only do so if you find yourself loosing. Which one you boost will be determined by HOW you loose... If you loose by running out of Stamina to fast boost stamina. If you finish with to much stamina boost speed A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME!!! Boosting Max Speed is DANGEROUS b/c if you boost to much you will be out of stamina 50% into the race... Which is another reason why you dont want to use ALL of your Available Sessions.
Now for the part that i just flat out DERPED on... As you level you get Attribute points added... So you do NOT want to max out an ability with food. Let the attributes max themselves out. You want to use the food to BOOST it a little but bare in mind (using my chocobo as an example) maxing out Max Speed at rank 45 to 500/500 i am now wasting 5 sessions worth of points. At 500 each session will give you 15 points using grade 3 food) thats 75 points that could have gone to another Attribute.
What I would do differently and suggest to yall is when you get a Chocobo ONLY raise it's attributes enough to win races and get experience. Don't forget though that mainly pertains to when you get your rank 9 thats more then 16/20 stars.
Now when it comes to Stars the only thing this will control is where your Attributes will max out at. Being my chocobo is 19/20 stars Cunning maxes out at 460 where as everything else reaches 500. Getting Attributes to 500 will not increase the Chocobos rating. Only Rank will increase the Rating. The stars however will tell you what your chocobos max rating will be at 50 however. Since i am 19/20 my max rating will be 295/300.
If i could go back and change how i did my Training Sessions for Attributes i would have only added more when i needed and waited to rank 50 to max out the abilities properly instead i wasted many sessions. However i will say even without everything Maxed out i was still able to beat the Rank 15 Challenge with ease...
I would like it noted that all the other people complaining about it being hard are NOT using Choco Dash and Increased Stamina... As well as saying to increase Cunning to win...
