Super Sprint

Super Sprint is a Racing Chocobo Ability. Once activated, the user sprints without weather or terrain penalties until all stamina is spent. This consumes significantly higher stamina than usual. Cannot be toggled off.

• This is represented by the buff Super Sprint.
• The chocobo will have a movement speed of 500 (maxed stat) for the duration of the effect, regardless of their max speed stat.
• Speed and stamina penalties from terrain and weather are ignored.
• The chocobo cannot decelerate for the duration of this effect, nor can the effect be toggled off.
• The effect fades when stamina reaches 0 (regardless of stamina restoration afterwards, such as from Choco Reraise).

Strategy

The user is effectively forced into the Lathered state for the duration of Super Sprint - and to be clear, this is the only reason why stamina consumption is higher (there is no extra multiplier on top of it). To review: the Lathered state causes stamina to spend at an increased rate than usual, with the penalty becoming larger as the gap between current speed and the "lathered threshold speed" increases. The lathered threshold can be raised by increasing the Endurance stat.

Therefore, chocobos with higher Endurance and Stamina stats will experience a much-less-dramatic consumption rate from Super Sprint - as the penalty will be less severe due to the former, and more stamina will be available to spend due to the latter.

On birds with lower Endurance and Stamina, Super Sprint is risky - but it can be helpful as a last push near the end of a race. For higher-stat birds, it can safely be used much earlier. On Sagolii Road R-300, a common strategy for maxed-out chocobos is to pop Super Sprint at the start, and ride it all the way to the finish line.

Super Sprint can become more efficient if paired with certain items:

• Sprint Shoes (or blue magicked panel) - negates stamina loss due to speed for 3s.
• Hero Tonic - become immune to all debuffs, hazards, and Lathered state for 15s.
• Stamina Tablet - prevents all forms of stamina loss for 10s.
