  1. If endurance increases the threshold before reaching "lathered" status, wouldn't any benefits from increasing it be useless once you're past the threshold? In your example build at 12:10, you were running at max speed in "lathered" state the whole time, so surely the 500 endurance doesn't actually help?

    I'm not criticizing I'm just trying to understand the stats. Thank you for the video.

  2. So when looking to breed before I get a chocobo with maxed stars, I should be buying a whole bunch of Covering Permissions and hoping I find one with maxed stars in one of the sections that my current chocobo is missing, then toss out the rest?

  3. IM SO CONFUSED. Do you just use the Covering Permission G9 for every time you wanna retire your chocobo so you have the best possible chance to get higher stats?

  4. So, do you still get a P9 if you breed it with a P8? since P1+1 makes P2 and so on, so i guess P9+P8=P8 to min-max stats for final P9 chocobo? my chocobo is atm P6 and has rather bad stats it has 12/20 XD if thats the case i would breed till P8 and breed till final choco

  5. Actually really good guide. Thanks man. The worst is when you get a chocobo with lowest rank top speed. Literally lose every match. I just want to get it to lvl 40 as fast as possible so I can breed it and never see it again. Lmao sounds harsh but it's true.

  6. Also in general is it worth it to max out stats with each pedigree level? I mean you would end up spending a hefty amount of MGP and end up getting rid of the chocobo anyway. Not sure. Would make it easier to level up and win though.

  7. Racing in early levels is infuriating, idk if it gets any better later on, there'll be races where a guy way ahead will have 30% more stamina left halfway through, and I'll have no idea how he's up there with that much left. And on the other side, much rarer, ill win a race not having done anything different or great in particular. It just seems totally random, which kinda sucks.
