The greatest contests of endurance in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Long Races span a distance between 2500 and 3600 meters. These races-pressure test every running strategy and build thrown at them, and are featured in some of the most prestigious Career Mode events.
Aptitude for the distance poses another challenge, as more than half of all characters do not have an “A” ranking for Long races. This build guide will assist you in overcoming all these obstacles to raise a horse girl excelling in Long races.
How To Win Long Races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby
The outcome of a Long race primarily hinges on Speed and Stamina. Skills that boost either during the race go a long way in providing an advantage. Since there is plenty of time to make overtakes, styles besides Front Runner aren’t held back by their usual disadvantage.
Stats
| Running Style | Speed | Stamina | Power | Wit | Guts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front Runner | 800+ | 800+ | 350+ | 350+ | 300+ |
| Pace Chaser | 750+ | 750+ | 400+ | 400+ | 300+ |
| Late Surger | 700+ | 700+ | 500+ | 400+ | 300+ |
| End Closer | 700+ | 700+ | 500+ | 400+ | 300+ |
Support Card Loadout
| Running Style | Speed SC | Stamina SC | Power SC | Wit SC | Guts SC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front Runner | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Pace Chaser | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Late Surger | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| End Closer | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Front Runners should completely ignore training Power to allocate more time for Speed and Stamina. Power increases sufficiently while training Speed.
Legacies
Endeavor to create a veteran Uma with a 3-star attribute spark as a Legacy. Choose her as your trainee’s Legacy to give her a large boost to stats. The second Legacy can be borrowed from a friend or found through community forums, such as Discord, where players share their account IDs.
Skills
All running styles benefit from:
- At least one Stamina-recovering skill
- Final stretch speed boosting skills
- Skills that synergize with Uma’s unique skill
Aim to learn gold-bordered skills that synergize well with your Uma. Any skill that says it “slightly” increases a value should only be bought if it is deeply discounted or if there is no other choice.
Front Runners
Front Runners need an early activating speed boost skill to cement their lead and avoid getting surrounded. Examples include:
- Leader’s Pride (Silence Suzuka, Twin Turbo)
- Early Lead (Mihono Bourbon, Silence Suzuka, Twin Turbo)
Pace Chasers
Pace Chasers can aim to outlast Front Runners and overtake them using positioning and speed skills. Some good skills to find for this purpose include:
- Prudent Positioning (Sweep Tosho)
- Slipstream (Sweep Tosho, Daitaku Helios)
- Stamina to Spare (Daitaku Helios)
Late Surgers and End Closers
Late Surgers and End Closers have to pour most of their SP into skills that maximize their velocity past the second half of the race. Some cost-effective options to consider are:
- Homestretch Haste (Vodka)
- Pace Chaser Corner (Nishino Flower)
- Fighter (Eishin Flash)
- Firm Conditions (King Halo)
