All Uma Musume Stats Explained (Global Version)
1. Speed
Speed affects how fast your Uma can go, but more importantly, it sets her target speed during the late race and final sprint phases. Target speed is the max speed your Uma is trying to reach—it’s not her current speed. It changes depending on race phase, strategy, course layout, and terrain. Speed matters most in:
- Late race
- Last spurt (final dash)
2. Power
Power controls acceleration and how smoothly your Uma can switch lanes. It also helps her push through groups of runners. While some advanced power-based mechanics aren’t available in the global version yet, power is still useful throughout the race. Power matters most in:
- All race phases (early to final)
3. Stamina
This one’s simple: more stamina means your Uma can maintain top speed longer. If she runs out, she slows down. Stamina is essential in medium to long races and works best when supported by recovery skills. Stamina matters in:
- All phases, especially late game
4. Guts
Guts is often overlooked, but it helps with acceleration in the last phase and reduces how much speed you lose when stamina is low. Also, if there’s a tie at the finish line, the Uma with higher guts wins. Pretty useful in clutch moments. Guts matters in:
- Last spurt
- Photo-finish ties
5. Wit (also called Wisdom)
Wit affects how often your skills activate and improves decision-making during races. It also helps your Uma avoid wasting stamina by moving smarter, especially during positioning. Higher wit means better use of skills, better reactions, and more efficient movement.
Wit matters in:
- All phases
What Are Race Phases?
Every race in Uma Musume is split into four phases:
- Early – The starting phase, setting position
- Mid – The longest part of the race, most positioning happens here
- Late – Where things start speeding up
- Last Spurt – The final push to the finish line
Stats interact with different phases:
- Speed kicks in late
- Power and stamina stay active throughout
- Guts shines in the final stretch
- Wit supports all phases by controlling skills and smarter moves
In Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, stats aren’t just random numbers—they directly impact your race strategy and how your horse girl behaves during each part of a race.

Keep racing, keep experimenting, and over time, it’ll start to click. Take your time, and enjoy the ride—after all, this isn’t a sprint, it’s a long game.
