Umamusume: Pretty Derby – How To Train w/ Low Rest Strategy?

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a free to play horse racing game where we have to train our Uma to increase her stats and build an Uma that can outshine everyone in her category. Resting a turn kills a chance to gain massive stat points and increase the bond quickly.

Sometimes, you can gain a negative status effect or debuff which requires an Infirmary to get rid off. This will consume another turn and as you have limited turns throughout your Career, every move counts as a Trainer. Therefore, let’s learn how to build or train the Uma and have the best stats using this strategy.

How To Train With Low Rest Strategy In Umamusume: Pretty Derby?

Energy is the key mechanics or component to Train your Umamusume. Furthermore, if your Energy gets low; the chances of failing the training get higher which obviously need to be avoided in order to build a strong racer. So, what are the ways to gain Energy?

Ways To Gain Energy?

The common way to gain Energy is by Resting, but we are avoiding it for most of our Career. You cannot completely ignore it but the time you choose to Rest can be minimized.

The next way to gain Energy is by Recreation. Recreation has 3 types of Event, i.e.,

• Shrine Visit: Recovers Energy (+30 to +70), Mood +1.
• Karaoke: Recovers Energy 0, Mood + 2.
• Walking: Recovers Energy (+10 to +30), Mood +1.

Another way to gain Energy is through the Wit Support Card Events which is kind of good but it is not efficient to use a slot for a Wit Support Card.

Trainee Events such as New Year Resolution can also grant you Energy, if you choose the certain option.

How To Build Your Super Uma?

Important points to remember:

1. Do not let your Energy go below 50-40%.
2. Use Wit to increase your Energy.
3. Use Support Card that has Speed and Endurance (4-2)

Start a Career and initially focus on improving your Bond instead of a stat as it will be quite beneficial at later stage of the career. Once the Energy hits 50%, keep on increasing the Wit to gain Energy and increase some Bonds.

Principal and Reporter are wild cards as they gift free stats to improve the level when they appear. Therefore, it is always beneficial to increase the Bond with your cards, however, it is not suitable to focus on them as you must keep a balance between choosing which stats to invest when you are training except Wit.

Wit increases the Speed and let you gain Skill Points. During the Race Event, instead of purchasing a Skill, you can wait to gain more Hint to reduce the amount of Skill Points required to purchase it.

There will be certain moment where your best Support Cards will bombard on a specific stats. Or if a Trainee Event occurs, then it will consume some Energy. This will result in Energy drop below 50% obviously, so then you can opt to choose Wit Training or Rest when the Failure chance is huge or more than 15% depending on the situation.

The maximum amount of Rest you can use to train a well developed Umamusume would be 6-8. If you are Resting more then you are ruining your Uma’s aptitude. It is also RNG and luck when it comes down to whether the Support Cards appear on Wit or respective stats more when they are needed.

Now, you know the trick; so hop on and train your Uma to victory and gain atleast a S rating stat by using this method. If you are interested to learn how to Farm Monies and SP, then check out our other Umamusume: Pretty Derby guides.
