How To Win Sprint (Short) Races in Umamusume Pretty Derby
Stats
The ideal stats required for sprinting will vary slightly based on the running style used. Nevertheless, the primary focus will always be Speed, with most of your training sessions dedicated to it. Power is of secondary importance, as it helps with positioning and cornering. Wit can’t be ignored since it prevents mistakes and increases the chances of skill activation.
| Running Style | Speed | Stamina | Power | Wit | Guts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front Runner | 1000+ | 250+ | 400+ | 350+ | 200+ |
| Pace Chaser | 900+ | 200+ | 500+ | 400+ | 200+ |
| Late Surger | 900+ | 200+ | 600+ | 400+ | 200+ |
| End Closer | 900+ | 200+ | 650+ | 400+ | 200+ |
Support Card Loadout
- 3 Speed
- 1 Power
- 1 Stamina
- 1 Wit or Utility (smiley face)
Training Speed improves Power substantially, allowing for a greater focus on other attributes when building a Support Card deck. Here are some of the best support cards with skills suited for Sprints:
- SSR Silence Suzuka (Multiple)
- SSR Sakura Bakushin (Turbo Sprint)
- SSR Tokai Teio (Rushing Gale!)
- SSR Biko Pegasus (Plan X)
- SR Narita Taishin (Lone Wolf)
- SR Eishin Flash (Homestretch Haste)
Skills
The skills you aim to get while raising your uma will depend on her innate skills as well as the running style she has chosen. However, some skills make great picks regardless of running style.
- One stamina skill (blue)
- One skill that increases velocity or acceleration on a straight.
- Multiple skills to help activate your uma’s unique skill.
- For example, Sprinting Gear and Homestretch Haste increase straight acceleration for Daiwa Scarlet so she can reach first place to activate Red Ace.
Each running style build should prioritize certain skills for better odds of success.
