How To Successfully Clear the Just an Acupuncturist Event in Umamusume Pretty Derby

Initially, you might try to go for the Strength Chakra due to its appealing rewards. However, this has a catch that the game doesn’t outright tell you. The higher up an option is, the higher the chances of failing are. Therefore, if you do not want to take any risks with your character and want to simply proceed, then you should quit this event when you get the option to do so.

Although, as you get lower on the list of choices, you will find that your chances of winning increase significantly. So, if you do want to take a smart risk with your run, you should consider the Charm Chakra, as it has the highest rate of success. Doing so will net you a decent energy and mood boost and also let you build friendships faster. This is not guaranteed to work every single time, but it will have a higher chance of working than not working.
