Is Gold City good?
Gold City is a Late Surger best suited to Mile, with only a B grade at the longer distances, which makes her regular career races harder but suits the Trackblazer scenario. Her original outfit has On Your Left! and Keen Eye innately, though her Unique is hard to trigger at its best.
Her Festival outfit (Autumn Cosmos) has a Unique that needs her boxed in on the side during the final corner, and a rare acceleration debuff that Dominator debuffers generally do better.
Strengths
- Good Late Surger skills like On Your Left!
- Keen Eye adds recovery and a debuff
- Suits the Trackblazer scenario
Weaknesses
- Inconsistent Unique Skills
- Needs sparks for Medium and Long
- Festival debuff is weaker than Dominator
