WHAT ARE BOOSTS

Two types: Car Boosts and Pilot Boosts.

Boosts - That's your ace up your sleeve. Boosts let you shape how checkpoint card effects work in your favor. They add strategy before the race starts and make your loadout matter almost as much as your reflexes.

You choose an active boost type and build it around your selected suit. That means your race plan can be focused: you can protect yourself, turn bad situations into advantages, or stop an opponent’s special effect from paying off.

In short: boosts are your tactical layer. Gear shifting wins moments; boosts win situations.

Car boosts

- Ignore Crashes

If a revealed checkpoint card matches your suit, this boost protects your car from being pushed backward. It is the safest choice for players who want consistency.

- Reverse Crash

If a revealed checkpoint card matches your suit, the bad event flips into a positive one and moves you forward instead. This is a higher-impact, momentum-focused option.

- Speedup from Crashes

If any suit appears at a checkpoint, your car can gain forward movement. This is the broadest and most aggressive car boost because it does not depend only on your own suit.

Pilot boosts

- Block Ignore Crashes

This pilot boost stops an enemy from safely ignoring a crash effect when their suit is revealed. It is a direct counter to defensive setups.

- Block Reverse Crash

This prevents an opponent from converting a crash into forward progress when their suit is shown. It is useful when you expect aggressive rivals.

- Block Speedup from Crashes

This shuts down an enemy’s attempt to gain speed from checkpoint crashes. It is the cleanest anti-combo tool against broad offensive strategies.

How regular players can think about boost choices

Play safe

Choose Ignore Crashes if you want fewer bad surprises and a more stable race.

Play aggressive

Choose Reverse Crash or Speedup from Crashes if you want more chances to turn chaos into momentum.

Play reactive

Choose a pilot block boost if you want to counter strong enemy setups instead of only improving your own.

Simple strategy examples

  • Beginner build: Ignore Crashes + clean, reliable shifting. This reduces punishment while you learn the race flow.
  • Snowball build: Reverse Crash + aggressive timing. This is for players who want bigger swings and comeback moments.
  • Counter build: Pilot block boost + steady execution. This works well when you expect the opponent to rely on strong checkpoint interactions.

Boosts do not replace skill. They reward good planning, but you still need to shift well to turn that plan into a win.
