How to Get A Rank with Any Uma in UmaMusume Guide

Getting an A rank with any Umamusume might seem tough, but with the right approach, it’s definitely achievable. This guide breaks down exactly how rating works, what you should focus on, and tips for skill and stat management to help you reach that coveted A rank.

What Determines Your Rating?

Your rating is based on two main things: stats and skills. Other factors like how many G1 races you’ve won or titles you’ve earned do not affect your rating.

• Stats: The more points you have in a single stat (like speed or guts), the more that stat adds to your rating. For example, 300 points in a stat might give around 350 rating points, but 1,200 points in that same stat can add nearly 3,800 rating points. So, maximizing one stat is much more effective than spreading points evenly.
• Skills: Unique skills and regular skills also add to your rating. Unique skills for 1-2 star Uma add 120 rating per level, while for 3 stars and above, each skill level adds 170 rating. You can increase unique skill levels by star unlocking your Uma or improving them during career mode, usually requiring lots of fans (around 60,000).

How to Choose Skills for Maximum Rating

• Focus on skills with a base cost close to 100 skill points before any discounts. These give the best rating value (around 239 rating points per skill).
• Avoid double circle skills (upgraded versions) since they cost much more skill points but give smaller rating increases compared to learning different new skills.
• Skip gold skills (like Gourmand) unless heavily discounted or you have no cheaper options. They require a lot of skill points for a smaller return.
• Red debuff skills generally give less rating, so only buy them if you have no other skills to pick.
• Prioritize skills that match your Uma’s best aptitudes (A or S grade). For example, if your Uma has an S rating in late sprints, pick skills related to that to get a rating boost.

How to Farm Skill Points

To learn many skills, you need lots of skill points. You gain these by:

• Winning races, especially higher grade races.
• Finishing in the top three positions.
• Using decks with race bonuses or perks that increase skill points.
• Doing optional races often to maximize your skill point gain.

How to Max Out Stats

• Aim to max a single stat (like speed) near 1,200 points to get the most rating.
• Use support cards smartly: max out and limit break support cards to boost your stats more.
• Try a deck setup like four speed cards and two wit cards for consistent speed training and enough energy to keep training.
• Wit cards help by giving energy and a small speed boost.
• Focus training on bouncing between speed and wit friendship training to build your main stat efficiently.

Recommended Uma for Easy A Rank

• Sakura Bakino: A popular choice because she only races in sprint and mile distances. You don’t need to train stamina heavily, making it easier to max speed.
• Haruada: Similar to Sakura Bakino, she benefits from a four-speed, two-wit card deck and excels in sprint/mile races.
• Agnes Tachion: A good choice for long-distance tracks because she has a unique skill that heals stamina and a high speed growth rate. You can avoid stamina cards or use legacy Uma with stamina sparks to minimize stamina training and focus on speed.

So basically Avoid balancing stats too much—focus on maxing one stat for better rating. Pick skills carefully—stick to those with base costs near 100 and avoid double circle and gold skills unless necessary. Match skills to your Uma’s top aptitudes for maximum rating bonus. Farm skill points by winning higher grade races and using race bonuses. Use support cards wisely and try deck setups that maximize training efficiency.

With practice and smart training, getting an A rank with your Uma is within reach. Stick to these strategies, and you’ll see your rating climb steadily. If you found this guide helpful, consider supporting by liking and subscribing for more Umamusume content.
