Stat Training by Trainee Type Umamusume: Pretty Derby Guide

If you want to build a strong Uma in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you can’t just rely on luck. You need to train the right stats depending on what kind of runner your Uma is. Every trainee has a distance preference and running style, and each type needs different stat priorities to perform well in races. This guide breaks down which stats to focus on for each type of Uma and how to train effectively to hit those numbers.

Understanding the Five Main Stats

Before diving into stat priorities, here’s a quick look at what each stat does:

• Speed: Affects how fast your Uma runs at top speed.
• Stamina: Determines how long your Uma can keep running without tiring.
• Power: Affects acceleration and how fast your Uma reaches top speed.
• Guts: Impacts the final sprint phase and how strong your finish is.
• Wisdom: Affects skill activation rate and how smart your Uma runs (taking better racing lines and saving stamina).

Stat Training by Distance Type

Each Uma has a preferred race distance. This plays a huge role in deciding which stats you need to prioritize during training.

1. Sprinters (Short Distance – 1000m to 1400m)

Main Stats:

• Speed
• Power
• Wisdom

Optional:

• Guts (for better late-phase burst)

Tips:
Sprinters need to explode out the gate and maintain speed throughout a short race. You can skip heavy stamina training, but make sure your wisdom is high enough to activate important skills consistently.

2. Milers (Middle Distance – 1400m to 1800m)

Main Stats:

• Speed
• Power
• Wisdom

Optional:

• A bit of Stamina

Tips:
Very similar to sprinters, but they need slightly more stamina to keep their pace. Power becomes more important, especially for mid-race positioning and lane changes.

3. Middle Distance (1800m to 2200m)

Main Stats:

• Speed
• Stamina
• Power

Optional:

• Wisdom

Tips:
This is a balanced category. You’ll need to start building stamina early, especially if you want your Uma to perform well against strong AI or PvP. Make sure to pair skills that help with pacing and energy efficiency.

4. Long Distance (2200m and above)

Main Stats:

• Stamina
• Speed
• Wisdom

Optional:

• Power
• Guts (for a better last sprint)

Tips:
Long-distance races drain stamina fast. Your goal is to survive the early parts of the race without running out of steam. Wisdom becomes more important because smarter Umas manage energy better and avoid wasting stamina.

5. Versatile Runners (Adaptable to Multiple Distances)

Main Stats:

• Balance between Speed, Power, and Stamina

Optional:

• Wisdom depending on strategy

Tips:
These Umas can be trained for multiple modes or used in PvP. Focus on a balanced build that covers key stats for both mid and long races. You can swap training focus depending on which races you aim to win.

Stat Training by Running Style

Apart from distance, every Uma also has a running style: Leader, Runner, Betweener, or Chaser. These affect how you should train your stats.

Runner (Front-Runner)

• Prioritize: Speed > Power > Wisdom
• Needs early race skills to stay ahead.

Leader

• Prioritize: Speed > Wisdom > Stamina
• Focus on maintaining stable pace and not getting overtaken.

Betweener (Stalker)

• Prioritize: Speed > Power > Wisdom
• Relies on lane changes and burst speed near the end.

Chaser (Back)

• Prioritize: Power > Speed > Guts
• Needs strong finishing power and stamina to last until the final phase.

Training the right stats based on your Uma’s race type and style is the foundation of building a top-tier racer in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Always check their preferred distance and running strategy before starting your training. With the right plan and support card setup, your Uma will be ready to take the podium again and again. Stay consistent, train smart, and watch your girls dominate the track!
