Character Mastery I

The platinum's defining grind: every one of Screamer's eighteen drivers has a unique mastery feat tied to their signature skill, and you need all of them. This page covers the first nine — Hiroshi, Akane, Noboru, Lavinia, Mr. Apollo, Gregor, Gabriel, Dirk and Akemi. The golden rule: stack masteries with everything else — drive each character through their team's storyline and Score Challenge, and grind KO-based masteries (Dirk, Akemi) at the same time as the big combat silvers. None are missable.

Hiroshi

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform 100 Boosts using Hiroshi's Unstable Boost.

TypeBronze
TeamGreen Reapers
Grind100 boosts

What it asks

Boost 100 times while driving Hiroshi, whose signature Unstable Boost is a higher-risk, higher-reward boost that builds and discharges quickly.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Hiroshi and trigger his Unstable Boost every time it's available — short tracks let you boost more often per lap.
  2. The count is cumulative across races, so just keep racing as him.
  3. Score Challenge or a long custom race with many laps farms this fastest.
Knock this out during the Green Reapers storyline (The emptiness of revenge) so the story run isn't wasted time.

Akane

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform 50 Boosts using Akane's Strike Forcers' Favorite.

TypeBronze
TeamKagawa-Kai
Grind50 boosts

What it asks

Boost 50 times as Akane using her Strike Forcers' Favorite ability — a lower target than Hiroshi's, so one of the quicker masteries.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Akane and use her boost repeatedly.
  2. Cumulative across races — a couple of longer races clears 50.
  3. Pair with her Score Challenge / Kagawa-Kai outings.

Noboru

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Gain 100 Entropy segments using Noboru's Former Glory.

TypeBronze
TeamAnaconda Corp
Grind100 Entropy

What it asks

Accumulate 100 Entropy meter segments while driving Noboru, whose Former Glory skill generates Entropy as you race.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Noboru and play to build Entropy — his kit fills it through sustained aggressive driving.
  2. Each segment gained counts; 100 is cumulative.
  3. Keep racing him in any mode until it ticks over.

Lavinia

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform 100 Perfect Boosts using Lavinia's Hyperactive Boost.

TypeBronze
TeamJupiter Stormers
Grind100 Perfect Boosts

What it asks

Land 100 Perfect Boosts as Lavinia — a Perfect Boost is a frame-timed boost input, so this rewards precision rather than just volume.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Lavinia and practise hitting the Perfect Boost window (a tighter, better-rewarded version of a normal boost).
  2. Only perfectly-timed boosts count toward the 100.
  3. Grind on a track you know so you can nail the timing consistently.

Pro tips

  • This is one of the more skill-dependent masteries — drill the timing in a short track loop before committing to the full 100.

Mr. Apollo

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Win 10 races without self-destructing using Mr. Apollo's Proto-ECHO.

TypeBronze
TeamHost
Grind10 clean wins

What it asks

Win 10 races as Mr. Apollo without ever triggering the self-destruct downside of his volatile Proto-ECHO system.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Mr. Apollo and manage his Proto-ECHO so it never overloads/self-destructs during a race.
  2. Win the race intact; repeat for 10 clean wins.
  3. Run weaker AI lobbies so winning is easy and you can focus purely on not blowing up.
Any self-destruct in a race disqualifies that race from counting — play conservatively with his meter even if it costs you some speed.

Gregor

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Reach maximum ECHO Evolution level 30 times as Gregor.

TypeBronze
TeamJupiter Stormers
Grind30 max-evolutions

What it asks

Drive Gregor and push his ECHO Evolution mechanic to its maximum level 30 separate times (typically once or more per race).

How to earn it

  1. Race Gregor and build his ECHO Evolution to max during each race.
  2. Each time you cap it counts; reach max 30 times total.
  3. Cumulative across races — long races let you max it more than once each.

Gabriel

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Gain 100 Entropy segments using Gabriel's Ruthless Heir.

TypeBronze
TeamAnaconda Corp
Grind100 Entropy

What it asks

Accumulate 100 Entropy segments while driving Gabriel, whose Ruthless Heir skill feeds on Entropy generated through aggressive racing.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Gabriel and race aggressively to keep Entropy flowing.
  2. Bank 100 cumulative segments.
  3. Fold it into the Anaconda Corp storyline (Heir to the chair).
Same Entropy mechanic as Noboru — if you enjoy the playstyle, do both back-to-back.

Dirk

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Execute 100 KOs using Dirk's Blood Thirst.

TypeBronze
TeamAnaconda Corp
Grind100 KOs

What it asks

Score 100 KOs while driving Dirk, whose Blood Thirst skill is built around relentless takedowns.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Dirk in Team Race (most targets) and KO rivals with his kit.
  2. 100 KOs cumulative.
  3. Because it's just KO volume, this also feeds the Sharpshooter / combat grinds.
Run Dirk while you chase Sharpshooter (200 Strike KOs) and you progress both at once — see the Combat guide.

Akemi

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Execute 100 KOs in Overdrive using Akemi's Something to Prove.

TypeBronze
TeamStrike Force Romanda
Grind100 Overdrive KOs

What it asks

Score 100 KOs while in Overdrive as Akemi, whose Something to Prove skill rewards an aggressive Overdrive playstyle.

How to earn it

  1. Drive Akemi, build Overdrive, then KO rivals while the super-state is active.
  2. Only KOs landed during Overdrive count; 100 cumulative.
  3. Team Race gives the most Overdrive KO opportunities.
This shares its requirement with the 'Out of my way' silver (100 Overdrive KOs) — grind Akemi and both finish together.
