The final ranking in the race is determined according to each player's speed, expressed as a score. A player's speed score is based on 2 elements:
- The player's Movement Speed (MS) bonus (the mount's "Ride" bonus + MS bonus from an inlaid Vengeance card.)
- The results of the "J, K, I, L" letter prompts.
The letter prompts have to be typed within 3 seconds, from left to right, and there are 4 possible results each time:
- Failed: when the player has not typed the right letters or any letters within the alloted time. This result gives no boost to the player's speed.
- Qualified*
- Excellent*
- Perfect: when all letters have been typed in the right sequence within the alloted time. This result will boost the player's speed.
Editor's Note: The difference between the "Qualified" and "Excellent" results is unknown. It might depend on a % of correct letters (Example: getting 50%-74% of the letters right = Qualified, getting 75%-99% of the letters right = Excellent) or on a proportion of incorrect (red circles with an "X") vs correct typing (green circles). If anyone has done some extensive testing and can confirm the difference, please edit the section.

Tips and Strategy[]
- Since movement speed is important, ride a mount with the highest movement speed bonus and inlay your highest level Vengeance card to an accessory piece (rings or necklace). Keep in mind that a player with a 45% MS mount and a 5% Vengeance I card inlaid to an accessory has an even chance against player with a 50% MS mount and no inlaid Vengeance card, in terms of MS.
- A trick that might be useful to some is to practise punching in the different keys (I, J, K, L) to remember their position a few seconds before you start racing. Try it!
