Use 2-3 Speed Support Cards

Speed Deck

Speed is the most important stat in Umamusume, so consider equipping 2-3 Speed Support Cards. Even if you're focusing on increasing your Power as an End Closer, Speed is still an important stat to increase as having low Speed means you'll be easily overtaken.

All Support Cards

Increase Power Using Legacies

Increase Power Spark

End Closers need to have a lot of Power, as they are positioned at the back of the race and thus need to overtake during the last stretch. Consider using Legacy Umamusume with a Power Spark, preferably 9 Stars to massively increase your Power during Inspiration events.

Legacy and Sparks Guide: Inheritance Explained

Balance Power, Speed and Wit

End Closer Training
Power = Speed = Wit

End Closers require a lot of Power as they need to overtake all the runners in front of them, alongside Speed and Wit so they have a high chance of activating skills that will allow them to maneuver easily during late race.

Get Maneuverability and End Closer Skills

End Closer Skills

Focus on getting Maneuverability and End Closer skills during training so your Umamusume will have a high chance getting into a good position during the race and for them to overtake other runners easily.
