Daiwa Scarlet is an excellent mile and medium-distance horse girl in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Her unique skills and stat bonuses make her a powerful Front Runner or Pace Chaser, reflecting her intensely competitive spirit. Although she has scope as a generalist, this guide will focus on training Daiwa Scarlet as a Pace Chaser for Mile and Medium racing events.

Start the first year by increasing friendship bonds with all support cards to activate friendship training bonuses. Once this is done, begin optimizing her stats according to the following recommendations. 

Primary Stat

Speed should be the primary focus for Daiwa Scarlet, and needs to be nearly double the value of the next highest stat. With the help of events, mood management, and the right support cards, achieve 900+ Speed by the end of the third year. This level of Speed is required for Daiwa Scarlet to maintain her lead near the front and to overtake the front-runners in the final stretch. 

Secondary Stats

Power and Stamina are equally important to train for Daiwa Scarlet. Both should be 500+ by the end of year 3. Increasing power allows Daiwa Scarlet to accelerate faster and makes overtaking easier. On its own, around 500 stamina isn’t nearly enough for mile and medium-distance races. However, using stamina-replenishing skills shores up this deficiency, allowing us to focus on training speed instead.

Skills 

Daiwa Scarlet’s unique skills make her especially suited to the Pace Chaser running style. If she is competing for first place during the second half of the race, Red Ace can activate to increase her speed and acceleration. Being at the front of the pack activates Competitive Spirit, which increases her Power by 40. 

Furthermore, her event skills, like Nimble Navigator and Steadfast, make it easier for Daiwa Scarlet to overtake opponents and maintain her lead in the second half of the race. To improve upon this advantage, we need to choose skills that improve her positioning and ensure she has enough stamina left for the final stretch. The best skills for her should:

  • Improve positioning
  • Replenish stamina 
  • Increase acceleration 

Here are some good examples:

  • Swinging Maestro 
  • Red Shift
  • Straightaway
  • Homestretch Haste
