Learn about the best skills you can invest in to get the highest scores possible in Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s Team Trials.
Team Trials is the standard PvP game mode in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. It allows players to form teams of 15 veteran umas (horse girls), 3 per racing event category. Based on the maximum score the team racks up after races against other trainers’ teams, the player is either promoted, retained, or demoted in their Team Trials Class rank.
If a team scores high enough consistently, a player can make it to a maximum of Class 6 in Team Trials. The score is increased by several factors, including winning, placement, and positioning. While these bonuses depend on racing performance, skills are the most consistent source of Team Trials score. By investing in the right skills, a player’s Team Trials score will improve drastically even if they aren’t winning races.

Umamusume Pretty Derby: Best Skills For Team Trials
The best skills for Team Trials aren’t necessarily ones that will contribute to your umas’ victory most, but ones that have the highest chances of activating without difficulty conditions. The points awarded by skills vary according to their rarity:
- Standard skill: 500 points
- Rare skill: 1,200 points
Therefore, investing in as many rare skills on the following list as possible is more cost-efficient for earning a higher Team Trials score. The exception to this rule is deeply discounted and low-cost standard skills such as ‘Sprint Corners’ and ‘Mile Straightaways.’ Skills that have guaranteed activation, such as ‘Front Runner Savvy,’ are also more valuable than rare skills that may not trigger.
Note: The rare skills in the following lists have their normal counterparts listed in sub-points below them.
