CLASSIC: Champions Meeting guide

Based on Japan, not on Global

Japan already ran this CM as CLASSIC 2025 (Hanshin 2200, debuffs off) (2025-07-25 → 2025-07-31), trained in Design Your Island. This guide summarizes what was used there and what published guides recommend.

Global can differ: cards, skills, scenarios and balance patches arrive in another order, and the meta moves with them. Check every pick against what Global has before you train for it.

Any win figure on this page, in the tables or in the notes, comes from room matches set up in Japan or from single accounts: small samples, not Global results and not a win rate in the real event.

About the CM in Japan

JP Champions Meeting of 2025-07-25 to 2025-07-31: Hanshin turf 2200 m, right-handed inner, summer, cloudy, Good, day. Non-standard distance. Course correction is speed, so 900 or more speed is automatic. First meeting where generic and inherited debuffs do not fire. Uniques and evolved skills still do. The final-corner gold is late and low value. Trained in Design Your Island, from 2025-06-27. A cited cap is 1850/1700/1700/1600/1300.

Summary

No league table and no printed five-stat target. Pre-event pages name Chrono Genesis, Gentildonna and Orfevre, the horses who accelerate from their own unique.
Runaway became a real plan because the stamina debuff that normally kills it is illegal.
Post-event diaries converge on those three names. The line that Runaway won most of one player's races is one pair of eyes.

Guides: Two Pace and a tractor; buffer allowed, generic debuffer restricted.

Running styles

Styles the guides favor: Pace ChaserEnd Closer

Use is the share of rival Umas that ran each style in Japan: how popular it was, not how often it won.

Style	Verdict	Use in Japan	Note
Front Runner	Viable	not counted	From guides Playable beside a Runaway. Not the center. Sample: no league-wide count
Runaway	Strong	not counted	From guides Multiple Runaways are a real plan once stamina debuff is gone. Sample: no league-wide count
Pace Chaser	Best	not counted	From guides Chrono Genesis and Gentildonna are the names the pages expect to be most common. Sample: no league-wide count
Late Surger	Weak	not counted	From guides Called the hard slot: the only style with no early late-phase acceleration on this geometry. Sample: no league-wide count
End Closer	Strong	not counted	From guides Orfevre. Other End Closers are in the same bind as Late Surger. Sample: no league-wide count

Expected room

Front Runners per room: no source counted them. Runaways per room: no source counted them. From guides

No source counted Front Runners in a full room of 9. The figures in the style table are one graded window or a pre-event Room Match sample, not a server census.

Stats and aptitudes

Target	Speed	Stamina	Power	Guts	Wit

Aptitudes: Non-standard distance. Speed course correction, so 900 or more speed is automatic. Do not force a stamina cap.

From guides No five-stat target was printed on the pre-event pages that were opened. Raise power because of the early and late uphills. A scenario cap cited elsewhere is 1850/1700/1700/1600/1300, which is a training cap, not a race target.

Check your own build in the HP Calculator before training: these targets come from Japanese guides.

Team compositions

Chrono Genesis (Pace Chaser) + Gentildonna (Pace Chaser) + Orfevre (End Closer)
From guides The three self-accelerators the diaries name. A Runaway stack was the other plan once stamina debuff was illegal.

Debuffers

Weak Generic, white and inherited debuffs do not fire. A horse kept only to debuff wastes the slot. The third horse is another ace, or a buffer. Uniques and evolved skills that contain a debuff still apply.
