Discover 5 of the best inherited unique skills in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, which can be passed down through Legacies.

In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a character’s unique skill is the ace up her sleeve, providing significant bonuses in the form of a dramatic burst of speed or stamina restoration when certain conditions are met.
While unique skills are exclusive to their respective characters, their weaker versions can be passed down through inheritance as standard skills. In general, these standard versions of unique skills are overpriced for their effects and complex activation conditions. However, the best among them are more than worth the skill point investment.
5 Best Inherited Unique Skills in Umamusume: Pretty Derby
Note: Only 3-star veteran umas can pass down their unique skills through Green Sparks.
5) Sky-High Teio Step

- Base Cost: 200
- Ideal For: Late Surger, End Closer
‘Sky-High Teio Step’ is Tokai Teio’s unique skill suited for runners seeking to overtake the race leaders on the final straight. The inherited unique skill moderately increases speed for 3 seconds when the user is in 3rd place or lower on the final straight and trying to overtake a runner ahead. The skill, although pricey, increases velocity moderately rather than slightly, unlike normal speed skills, which only increase velocity slightly and for shorter durations.
4) Behold Thine Emperor’s Divine Might

- Base Cost: 200
- Ideal For: Pace Chaser, Late Surger, End Closer
Possessed by Symboli Rudolf, ‘Behold Thine Emperor’s Divine Might’ moderately increases speed for 3 seconds after overtaking runners 3 times in the late race. This skill can be used by all running styles besides Front Runner, since the user has to overtake 3 runners during the late race phase to activate it. Even if the uma overtakes thrice on the final corner, the skill only activates on the final straight. This activation timing is ideal since your uma has a chance of reaching top speed by then and benefiting from the skill.
3) Triumphant Pulse

- Base Cost: 200
- Ideal For: All Running Styles
Passed down by Oguri Cap, ‘Triumphant Pulse’ can help your trainee steal victory at the last moment with an explosive burst of speed. The inherited skill moderately increases speed for 3 seconds when positioned toward the front (2nd-5th) with 200m remaining.
If your uma can reach her top speed at the last spurt with enough stamina and acceleration, ‘Triumphant Pulse’ will push her beyond her speed limit with 200m remaining in the race. This helps win close duels for first place, similar to ‘Homestretch Haste.’
2) Shooting for Victory!

- Base Cost: 200
- Ideal For: Pace Chaser, Late Surger
‘Shooting for Victory!’ is Taiki Shuttle’s unique skill that is ideal for helping Pace Chasers and Late Surgers win races. The skill slightly increases acceleration for 2.4 seconds on the final corner when positioned in the first half of the pack, at 3rd place or lower.
The inherited unique skill increases acceleration on the final corner, when the last spurt has usually begun. If you have enough stamina, acceleration is the most important part of the last spurt, as it allows umas to reach their top speed faster. Not only does this give the runner an advantage in the late race, but it also allows them to easily break out from the pack, reducing chances of getting blocked.
1) Red Shift/LP1211-M

- Base Cost: 200
- Ideal For: All Running Styles
Maruzensky’s unique skill, ‘Red Shift/LP1211-M,’ holds the status of the ultimate inheritance skill, performing effectively across all running styles over every distance category. The skill slightly increases acceleration for 2.4 seconds at the final corner when positioned toward the front of the pack (1st-5th). Acceleration skills that activate early on the final straight win races, and none are as effective as ‘Red Shift/LP1211-M.’
