Character Mastery II
The back half of the eighteen-driver mastery grind: Frederic, Róisín, Ritsuko, Aisha, Hina, Fermi, The Announcer, Hope and Keiji. As with Mastery I, the smart play is overlap — KO-based masteries (Frederic, Róisín, Hina) feed the combat silvers, Aisha feeds the parry trophy, and the host masteries (The Announcer) pair with their Score Challenge runs. Clear all eighteen across both pages and the platinum is within touching distance. None are missable.
Frederic
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Execute 100 KOs using Frederic's Reaper's Dance.
Frederic
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Score 100 KOs driving Frederic, whose Reaper's Dance skill is a mobile, offence-focused toolkit.
How to earn it
- Drive Frederic in Team Race and KO rivals with his kit.
- 100 KOs cumulative.
- Pure KO volume, so it stacks with Sharpshooter and the other combat trophies.
Róisín
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Execute 100 KOs using Róisín's One More Freckle.
Róisín
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Score 100 KOs as Róisín, whose One More Freckle skill stacks bonuses with each takedown.
How to earn it
- Drive Róisín in a target-rich Team Race.
- KO rivals repeatedly for 100 cumulative.
- Lean into her stacking skill — the more you KO, the stronger she gets.
Ritsuko
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Activate Take Your Heart five times in a race, across 30 races.
Ritsuko
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
A two-layer grind: in a single race, activate Ritsuko's Take Your Heart ability five times — then do that in 30 separate races.
How to earn it
- Drive Ritsuko and trigger Take Your Heart whenever it's charged — you need five activations within one race for it to count.
- Repeat that five-activation race 30 times.
- Longer races make hitting five activations per race much easier.
Aisha
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Parry 30 KOs using Aisha's JSI Defense System.
Aisha
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Successfully parry 30 incoming KO attempts as Aisha, whose JSI Defense System makes her the game's premier defensive driver.
How to earn it
- Drive Aisha and Shield-parry incoming Strikes/rams; her kit widens the parry window.
- 30 successful parries cumulative.
- Race mid-pack so rivals attack you constantly.
Hina
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Execute 50 KOs using Hina's Go Go SFR!.
Hina
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Score 50 KOs driving Hina, whose energetic Go Go SFR! skill is built for quick, repeated takedowns.
How to earn it
- Drive Hina in Team Race and KO rivals with her kit.
- 50 KOs cumulative — a lower bar than the 100-KO drivers.
- Stacks with the Strike KO grind.
Fermi
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Execute 2 KOs in one Strike using Fermi's Herding Instinct, across 20 races.
Fermi
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Use Fermi's Herding Instinct to line up rivals and KO two of them with a single Strike — then do that double-KO in 20 separate races.
How to earn it
- Drive Fermi and use Herding Instinct to bunch rivals together.
- Strike when two are aligned so one hit KOs both.
- Land that double-KO once in each of 20 races.
Pro tips
- Tight, twisty tracks naturally funnel cars into clusters, making the two-in-one Strike far easier to set up.
The Announcer
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Maintain max Style Empress level for 5 seconds, 50 times.
The Announcer
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
As The Announcer, build her Style Empress meter to maximum and hold it there for five continuous seconds — repeated 50 times.
How to earn it
- Drive The Announcer and build Style (through stylish, aggressive driving) to its cap.
- Hold at max for five seconds for one count; let it drop and rebuild for the next.
- Reach the five-second hold 50 times total.
Hope
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Gain 13 Sync segments using Hope's Interest Rate, across 30 races.
Hope
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
In a single race, accumulate 13 Sync meter segments with Hope's Interest Rate skill — then repeat across 30 races.
How to earn it
- Drive Hope and build Sync via Interest Rate; you need 13 segments within one race for it to count.
- Repeat the 13-segment race 30 times.
- Longer races make reaching 13 segments comfortable each time.
Keiji
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Activate 50 Overdrives at full Sync using Keiji's Emotional Manipulation.
Keiji
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Trigger Overdrive 50 times while at full Sync as Keiji, whose Emotional Manipulation skill ties Sync and Overdrive together.
How to earn it
- Drive Keiji and build Sync to full before activating Overdrive — only full-Sync activations count.
- Do this 50 times cumulatively.
- His kit is built for it, so once you learn his Sync loop the activations come fast.
