Learn how to master the training system in Umamusume: Pretty Derby! Whether you're trying to win your first URA Finals or fine-tune stat growth for A+ team comps, understanding how training works is the key to building a champion.
In this guide, we break down training types, fail rate mechanics, stat priorities by race type, and pro tips to maximize your runs—especially if you’re playing the English global release.
๐ What Is Training in Umamusume?
In Umamusume, "training" refers to the main่ฒๆ (ikusei) phase, where you raise your chosen horse girl through several seasons and events leading up to championship races like URA Finals, Make a New Track!!, or Legend Races.
-
5 types of practice (stat training)
-
Rest
-
Race
-
Skill training
-
Fan meet or support events
Training is where the majority of your stats come from. Picking the right type at the right time is crucial.
๐งช All Training Types & What They Increase
Here’s a quick breakdown of each training option:
| Practice Type | Main Stat | Sub Stat(s) | Other Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Speed | Wisdom | Boosts sprint ability |
| Stamina | Stamina | Power | Essential for long-distance races |
| Power | Power | Speed | Affects uphill and overtaking |
| Guts | Guts | Stamina | Improves performance in last spurt |
| Wisdom | Wisdom | – | Adds SP recovery and skill points |
๐ก Tip: The more support characters gathered on one tile, the bigger the stat gains (especially once training level increases)!
⚠️ Training Fail Rate & Fatigue System Explained
Each practice has a chance to fail, especially when your Umamusume is tired. Fatigue is shown by:
-
Face icon color (green = good, orange = tired, red = exhausted)
-
Fail % chance in the corner of training options
| Face Icon | Description | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| ๐ Green | Fresh | Train freely |
| ๐ Orange | Tired | Train cautiously or Rest |
| ๐ฃ Red | Exhausted | Almost always Rest |
Training failures waste your turn and may reduce stats or cause injury status.
๐ก Best Practice: Rest when over 25–30% fail chance unless there's a high-stat training option with multiple gold/rainbow supports.
๐ Stat Focus by Race Type (Speed ≠ Everything!)
Each horse girl excels at different race distances, and your stat priority should follow suit:
| Race Type | Stat Focus |
|---|---|
| Short | Speed > Power > Wisdom |
| Mile | Speed ≈ Power > Wisdom |
| Medium | Speed > Stamina > Wisdom |
| Long | Stamina > Wisdom > Speed |
| Dirt Races | Stamina & Power are often prioritized |
๐ก Example: Tokai Teio (medium runner) benefits more from a Speed-Stamina-Wisdom balance than raw Speed alone.
๐ Training Level-Up System
Each training type (Speed, Stamina, etc.) can level up over time as you use it or trigger support events. Higher levels = better stat gains per session.
Watch for:
-
๐ถ Gold training tile = multiple supports present
-
๐ Rainbow training = huge stat bonus from synergy
Smart strategy: Target training types that are close to leveling up for long-term value, not just short-term gain.
๐ง Wisdom: The Underrated Stat
Many beginners undervalue Wisdom (่ณขใ). But it:
-
Reduces race RNG and chance of skill misfire
-
Boosts late-race decision-making
-
Improves SP gain during training
Don’t ignore it—especially if you're building for Mid or Long distance races.
๐ฅ Pro Training Tips for F2P & Rerollers
-
Bond First, Train Later: Early turns should build support bond (light blue to yellow link).
-
Track Training Value: Check stat gains, support card effects, and fail % every turn.
-
Use Skill Point Races: Some early races grant SP and bonus stats—great filler if training options are poor.
-
Avoid Overtraining: Rest strategically; don't get baited by high fail % "rainbow traps" too early.
-
Favor Consistency: Cards like Riko Kashimoto or Nice Nature (healer) are great for stable builds.
๐งฉ What About Skill Points?
Training doesn't directly give skill points, but:
-
Wisdom training adds a few SP each time.
-
Race victories and support events provide the bulk of SP.
-
Higher bond levels with support = better skills unlocked during training.
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Overtraining on Red Condition (exhausted face)
-
Ignoring Wisdom and Power entirely
-
Rushing stat cap too early and neglecting training level-up bonuses
-
Not taking advantage of group training sessions
