Grass Wonder in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is a solid but tricky horse girl to train since she can handle Mile, Medium, and Long races. Her flexibility means you need to focus her build to avoid weak stats. Here’s a quick guide to make her shine.
Overview
- Distances: Mile (A), Medium (B), Long (A)
- Track: Turf (A), Dirt (G)
- Strategies: Pace Chaser (A), Late Surger (A), Leader (situational), avoid Front (F)
- Stat Bonuses: +20% Speed, +10% Power
- Unique Skill: Focused Mind – Speed boost when overtaking on the final straight, great for Pace Chaser or Late Surger.
- Key Notes: Excels as Pace Chaser (Mile) or Late Surger (Medium/Long). Weak stamina needs healing skills. Injury-prone, so boost Wit.
Stat Goals
- Speed: 1000+ (always prioritize; her Speed bonus helps).
- Stamina: 450+ (Mile/Medium), 600+ (Long). Use healing skills to offset low stamina.
- Power: 500+ for overtaking in the final stretch.
- Wit: 400–500 for skill timing and injury prevention.
- Guts: 300 max, only if using a Guts-focused deck.
Running Style Strategy
- Mile: Go Pace Chaser. Tail leaders early, then surge with Focused Mind. Need Wit (400+) and healing skills.
- Medium/Long: Use Late Surger. Build momentum and use recovery skills for stamina. Avoid Front style.
- Leader: Works in Mile races with many Pace Chasers, but needs high Wit and Power (500+).
Recommended Skills
- Healing (Blue): Corner Recovery, Tempo Up, or Swinging Maestro (from Super Creek) for stamina. Superior Heal (Saintly Jade Cleric variant) helps Late Surger.
- Positioning/Acceleration: Pace Keep (innate), Deep Breath, Short Rest, Trick (Front) (awakening), Cooldown, Monopoly, Push Positioning.
- Speed/Power: End Feet (awakening) or skills from Sweep Tosho/Silence Suzuka for speed boosts.
Support Card Setup
- 3 Speed Cards: Sweep Tosho, Silence Suzuka, or Maruzensky (SSR) for Speed and friendship.
- 1 Stamina Card: Super Creek (SSR) for stamina and Swinging Maestro.
- 1 Wit Card: Fine Motion (SSR) for skill activation and injury prevention.
- 1 Friend Card: Takanotsume or similar for friendship boosts.
Training Tips
- Year 1: Build support card bonds for rainbow training. Focus Speed and Wit, some Stamina. Enter G1 races for fans/skill points.
- Year 2: Push Speed (700–800), Stamina (400–500). Use summer camp for level 5 training. Grab healing skills.
- Year 3: Hit Speed 1000+, Stamina 450–600, Wit 400–500, Power 500+. Max fans (120k) and level Focused Mind.
- Injury Management: Keep energy high and Wit at 400–500 to avoid injuries. Rest only when needed; use Infirmary if injured.
- Races: Focus G1 races for fans (60k by Feb Year 3, 120k by Dec). Use GameTora for race planning.
- Legacy: Pair with El Condor Pasa/Vodka for stat boosts. Use trained Grass Wonder as sub-legacy for 3☆ sparks (600+ stats).
