Is Nakayama Festa good?
Nakayama Festa (Desperate Measures) is a gamble in trainee form: her kit and Unique lean on chance, including needing to be unfavored (usually 5th favorite or lower). Risk-Maker may not trigger at all, and Nothing Ventured can be strong but may drain a lot of Stamina.
Late Surger in Medium is her natural slot, and she can cover Pace Chaser or Long when needed, but even good luck rarely makes her the best choice.
Strengths
- Flexible between Late Surger and Pace Chaser
- Nothing Ventured can be strong
Weaknesses
- Kit relies heavily on luck
- Unique needs her to be unfavored
- Risk-Maker may not trigger
