Train Maruzensky as a front-runner in Umamusume Pretty Derby by prioritizing speed, stamina, and early-race advantage skills.

Maruzensky is an excellent generalist who can be built to match your preferred style. In the game’s current version, the front-runner and pace-chaser styles are most advantageous for short and medium events. This is primarily because horse girls looking to pick up speed later in the race will find their path blocked by other racers, making it difficult to reach top speed and catch up to the front-runners.
Therefore, this build will focus on training Maruzensky for front-running, speccing into balanced stats for short and medium distance events.
Umamusume Pretty Derby: Maruzensky Training

Before getting into optimizing stats during training, it is important to develop friendships with all the support card characters you’ve selected. At the top right corner of each training category, you can observe the friendship level of the respective support uma.
Train those categories until their friendship level reaches tier 4, turning the bar orange. This activates friendship training, giving Maruzensky bonus status increments from the same training. Focus on reaching friendship training with all support uma by the end of the first year.
For the front-runner racing style, we will prioritize speed above all else, followed by stamina. We can largely neglect power since Maruzensky won’t need to overtake many horse girls during the race if she has high enough speed to start ahead.

Primary Stat
After beginning career mode a run with Maruzensky, focus on training speed. She should reach 900+ speed by the start of the event. If you meet the baseline level for the secondary stat, continue training speed.
Secondary Stats
Following speed, prioritize training stamina, to prevent Maruzensky from burning through her reserves before the race ends. She should have around 600 stamina at the end of year 3. While you can completely skip power, level up wisdom to 400+. Wisdom is critical for triggering important skills like Early Lead and Concentration. Additionally, training wisdom also increases energy, making it easier to succeed in other training and keep morale high.
