Completing the Ultimate Daiwa Scarlet in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Select Language:

When you begin your journey in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, the game introduces you through a brief tutorial. Here, you’ll train Daiwa Scarlet in the career mode, and she’ll subsequently join the roster as a two-star character.

Once you collect enough copies of her, you can elevate Daiwa Scarlet to five stars. She’s considered one of the better horses to train because she can adapt to various running styles and distances based on your strategy, providing you with a lot of options.

Overview of Daiwa Scarlet

As your first horse girl in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Daiwa Scarlet showcases impressive versatility, particularly in the early stages of the game. She holds an A rating in both Mile and Medium distances, and with a good legacy, you can even push her Long distance rating to A as well.

In terms of running style, she can perform as a Front Runner or a Pace Chaser. However, running as a Front Runner can be more challenging early on. Daiwa Scarlet’s Unique Skill enhances her determination to maintain her position at the front during the race’s second half, which suits the Front Runner style well.

Tip: The optimal setup for Daiwa Scarlet is to aim for the Front Runner position in Mile races. These shorter distances make it easier to establish her as a Front Runner, even if your legacies or support cards aren’t top tier.

Daiwa Scarlet’s Career Guide

Daiwa Scarlet’s stats are best focused on Guts, followed by Wit, Speed, Power, and Stamina. This aligns with her race requirements, especially since she typically competes in Mile and Medium races, which don’t demand extensive stamina. However, her final race leading up to the URA Championship requires her to excel in a Long race, which can be tough if you don’t invest a bit in her Stamina throughout her career.

Here’s a suggested breakdown of how to focus her training across different years:

Year	How To Train
Junior	In the first year, prioritize upgrading your Support Cards by training skills that utilize multiple Support Cards effectively. Avoid Gut trainings unless necessary, especially for a Front Runner.
Classic	In the second year, balance efforts between building your core stats for your chosen distance and style while participating in numerous races to earn extra Skill Points.
Senior	In the final year, concentrate on achieving recommended stat levels for Daiwa Scarlet, ensuring her Stamina is also fit for the last Long race.

Legacy Recommendations for Daiwa Scarlet

In the early game phase, good Legacies might be scarce since you haven’t achieved high-ranking runs with your characters yet. You can follow leaderboard players from Team Trials to borrow their Legacies three times daily, provided you seek specific skills.

Your focus should primarily be on Speed. Legacies can boost your character three times during their career, so having ample Speed is crucial. After Speed, look for enhancements in Power, Stamina, and particular distance and style skills like Mile, Medium, Front Runner, and Pace Chaser.

Best Stats for Daiwa Scarlet

Daiwa Scarlet enjoys a 10% growth rate in Speed and 20% in Guts, making it relatively easy to boost her Guts with a few training sessions. Her enhanced Speed growth is also beneficial when maximizing the best Support Cards for her. Remember that her ideal stats will vary based on several factors.

As highlighted in the table, you’ll need high Speed and Power regardless of the distance, but if your goal is Long distance, focus on increasing Stamina, especially if you reach an A ranking in it. Generally, Daiwa Scarlet doesn’t require much in Guts and Wit.

Note: Keep in mind that achieving these recommended stats in the early game is unlikely if you lack a strong Legacy. As you progress, accumulating better Legacies will help you aim for these stats.

Depending on the style you choose, your recommended stats may change. For example, if you want Daiwa Scarlet to excel as a Front Runner, invest more in her Stamina while reducing Power.
