Maruzensky in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is a beast as a Front Runner, shining in Mile and Medium-distance Turf races, with some sneaky potential on Dirt. Her 20% Speed and 10% Stamina growth make her a speed machine, perfect for blasting out front and staying there. Here’s a straightforward guide to building her to victory.
Build Overview
- Racing Style: Front Runner—get ahead early and hold the lead.
- Preferred Tracks: Turf (A aptitude) is her jam; Dirt (D aptitude) works with the right setup.
- Preferred Distances: Mile (A) and Medium (B) are her sweet spots; Short (B) is fine too. Skip Long races unless you’ve got serious stamina support.
- Key Stats:
- Speed: Pump this up to 1000+ for endgame dominance.
- Stamina: Aim for 400+ for Mile, 500+ for Medium, and more for Long with recovery skills.
- Wit: Get 350+ to make sure skills like Concentration and Early Lead fire off.
- Power: Don’t stress it too much—300–400 is enough unless she’s getting boxed in.
- Guts: Mostly skip this; it’s not a big deal for Front Runners right now.
Training Strategy
- Early Game (Year 1):
- Focus on maxing out friendship levels with Support Cards to Tier 4 (orange bar) for extra stat boosts. Train everything early to build those bonds by the end of Year 1.
- Once friendships are solid, hammer Speed training to hit 900+ Speed before key races.
- Mid-to-Late Game:
- Keep pushing Speed to 1000+ to crush Mile races.
- Build Stamina to 400–500 for Medium races so she doesn’t gas out. For Long races, go for 600+ with strong recovery skills.
- Raise Wit to 350+ to ensure skills like Concentration and Early Lead work consistently.
- Don’t waste time on Power or Guts unless she’s struggling to hold her spot in crowded races.
- Career Mode Tips:
- Pick races that fit her strengths (Mile/Medium, Turf). Don’t bother with Chaser or Late builds—they don’t work for her.
- Keep an eye on fan count and race goals to qualify for the URA Finale. Run extra races if you need more fans.
- Watch her condition to avoid injuries, using the Infirmary or rest when needed.

- Silence Suzuka (Speed): Great for Speed and early positioning.

- Yukino Bijin (Intelligence/Wit): Helps skills kick in during the final stretch.
- Top Picks:
- Card Strategy:
- Go for cards with high bond levels and skills like Concentration, Early Lead, or Gear Shift.
- Toss in one Stamina card (like Super Creek) for Medium/Long races to keep her going.
