Guts Stats Guide for Umamusume Pretty Derby

The key use of the guts stat is to reduce stamina loss during the end stages of a race. How it works is by having your character continue to sprint without slowing down, even when the stamina is running low. This is best used when your character is close to the finish line.
While the guts stat does not have any particular effect on your speed, it ensures the character is able to maintain her current speed. Keeping the guts stat around 300 to 400 points is advisable for your build, giving the right amount of support and ensuring that you do not waste these crucial points on other low-priority stats. Guts stats are not really necessary for characters heavy on sprinting or mid-distance runners.
Guts are best used during long-distance races where you are more likely to drain out your stamina. During such races, always preserve the stat for late-race moments. The gut stat is also effective for certain build types, which emphasize using stats or skills that rely on draining heavy amounts of stamina.
