Oguri Cap is a solid 3-star Uma Musume in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, great for medium and long-distance races on turf or dirt. Her starting Speed (101) and Power (106), plus a +20% Stamina and +10% Speed growth bonus, make her a beast for builds that need endurance, especially as a Late Surger or Pace Chaser. Here’s how to get the most out of her.

Stat Priorities

To make Oguri Cap shine, focus on her strengths in Speed, Stamina, and Power, tweaking them based on her racing style and distance. Here’s what to aim for:

  1. Speed (800–1000): This is key for her top speed, especially in the final stretch where her unique skill, Victory Pulse, kicks in. Shoot for 800+ for tough races, or 1000+ for big events like the URA Finals or Champions Meeting. Her +10% Speed growth helps hit these numbers.
  2. Stamina (650–800): You’ll need this for long races like the Arima Kinen to keep her from gassing out. Her +20% Stamina growth makes it easier to hit 650+ for long races, while 500–600 works for medium ones.
  3. Power (600–800): This boosts her acceleration, cornering, and ability to push through crowded packs. It’s super important for dirt races to avoid penalties. Aim for 600+ to hold her position.
  4. Wit (400–600): This helps her skills, like Victory Pulse, trigger reliably. A decent Wit stat keeps her consistent without dumping too many points into it.
  5. Guts (400–500): This is the least important but still helps in tight finishes. Train it lightly since it’s not her main focus.

Note: For long races like Arima Kinen, pump up Stamina to 800+ to clear stamina checks. For medium or mile races, lean harder into Speed and Power.

Racing Style and Distance

  • Preferred Styles: Late Surger (hanging back or mid-pack, then blasting forward at the end) or Pace Chaser (mid-pack, overtaking later). Late Surger is best for long races, while Pace Chaser works for medium or mile races.
  • Distances:
    • Mile/Medium (1600–2000m): A-rank aptitude, super strong with a Speed/Power focus.
    • Long (2000m+): B-rank aptitude, but she can handle it with 650–800+ Stamina.
    • Dirt: B-rank aptitude, which you can boost to A-rank with inheritance, making her a top dirt runner.
    • Short (1000–1200m): E-rank aptitude, so don’t bother.
  • Tracks: She’s great on turf (A-rank) and solid on dirt (B-rank, upgradable to A). Focus on dirt builds for races like Champions Meeting dirt events.

Skill Recommendations

Oguri Cap’s skills should play up her late-race surges and flexibility. Her unique skill, Victory Pulse, gives a big speed boost in the last 200m, scaling with Stamina and Power.

  • Core Skills:
    • Victory Pulse (Innate): Triggers in the final 200m, cranking up speed. A must-have for any build.
    • Sufficient Spirit: Speeds up cornering, helping her stay in a good spot mid-race.
    • Final Sprint: Boosts speed in the final stretch, pairing well with Victory Pulse.
    • Stamina Keeper: Cuts stamina use, a lifesaver for long races.
    • Dirt Surface Boost (Dirt Builds): Improves speed and stability on dirt tracks.
    • Corner Acceleration ○ (Innate): Speeds her up coming out of corners, great for passing.
    • Acceleration (Innate): Helps her pick up the pace, perfect for late surges.
    • Gourmand (Awakening, Lv3): Restores stamina mid-race, awesome for long distances.
    • Cloudy Day ○ (Awakening, Lv2): Helps in rainy races, but it’s situational.
  • Optional Skills:
    • Rushing Gale: Boosts speed on straightaways, solid for turf races.
    • Skills that help with late-race overtaking or stamina recovery for extra flexibility.

Skill Strategy: Grab skills that trigger late or save stamina. For dirt races, make sure Dirt Surface Boost is in the mix. Unlock Victory Pulse early (360 skill points) by winning races to rack up fans.

Support Card Deck

A balanced support deck pumps up Oguri Cap’s stats and skills. Go for 2 Speed, 2 Power, 1 Stamina, 1 Wit.

  • Top SSR Support Cards:
    • Fine Motion (Wit): Boosts Wit training and energy recovery, making skills more reliable and training smoother.
    • Super Creek (Stamina): Great for Stamina gains, especially for long races, and comes with stamina skills like Stamina Bonus.
    • Kitasan Black (Speed, post-July 16, 2025): The best Speed card, giving huge Speed boosts. Save Carats for its banner if you can.
    • Silence Suzuka (Speed): Boosts Speed and offers skills for late surges or front-running.
    • Nishino Flower (Power): Powers up Power training, great for dirt builds.
    • Daitaku Helios (Power): Another good Power card with useful skills.
  • Budget Options:
    • SR Sweep Tosho (Speed): Decent for Speed if you’re just starting out.
    • SR Hishi Amazon (Power): Cheap Power card for positioning skills.

Support Strategy: Get support card bonds maxed out early (before the first summer) to unlock rainbow training sessions for big stat gains. Use Wit training with Fine Motion to recover energy while building bonds.

Inheritance and Legacy Picks

Hi Im A Beginner And Took Oguri Cap As My First 3

Inheritance can seriously level up Oguri Cap’s stats and aptitudes. Pick Legacy Uma Musume that match her strengths:

  • Dirt Builds: Go for parents with high Stamina and Power (like Super Creek, Haru Urara, or El Condor Pasa) to bump her Dirt aptitude to A-rank. Aim for 3* Speed or Stamina Sparks for +90 stat boosts.
  • Turf Builds: Choose Speed/Stamina legacies like Special Week or Maruzensky for balanced boosts.
  • URA Scenario Stars: Pick parents with URA scenario stars for flexibility across races.

Tip: Borrow a friend’s Oguri Cap or Special Week with high Speed/Stamina Sparks for early runs to juice up starting stats.

Training Tips

  • Early Game (First Year): Focus on bonding with support cards to unlock rainbow training sessions. Train with 3+ support cards, even if it’s Wit or Guts, to max bonds. Keep Oguri Cap’s mood at Great with Recreation to boost stat gains.
  • Mid-Game: Switch between Speed, Stamina, and Power training based on your race goals. For long races like Arima Kinen, get Stamina to 650+ by year two. Use Wit training to recover energy and keep skills reliable.
  • Late Game: Aim for Speed (800–1000), Stamina (650–800), and Power (600–800) by the URA Finals. Rest smartly to avoid burnout, and only use the Infirmary for bad status effects.
  • Race Strategy: Run G1 races to earn skill points and fans to unlock Victory Pulse early. Use Late Surger for long races and Pace Chaser for mile/medium races to stay competitive.

Mood Management: Keep her mood at Great for the best stat gains. Use Recreation early if her mood drops to yellow or worse.

Race-Specific Tips

  • Arima Kinen (Long, 2500m): Needs 650–800+ Stamina and skills like Stamina Keeper or Gourmand to keep going. Use Late Surger and focus on Stamina/Power training.
  • Tenno Sho (Spring, 3200m): Same deal as Arima Kinen, prioritize Stamina (800+) and skills like Stamina Keeper.
  • Mile/Medium Races (1600–2000m): Go Pace Chaser with 700+ Speed and 500–600 Stamina. Skills like Final Sprint and Corner Acceleration help pass rivals.
  • Dirt Races: Upgrade Dirt aptitude to A with inheritance. Focus on Power (600–800) and Dirt Surface Boost for stability.
