Here's a straightforward guide to building a solid Agnes Tachyon in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. She’s a beast as a Leader in Medium-distance Turf races, so let’s make her shine.

Stats Priority

  • Speed: Go hard here, aim for 700+ to keep her out front in Medium races. Her 20% Speed growth bonus makes this easier.
  • Wit (Intelligence): Shoot for 400–500. This powers her skills and nails skill timing. Grab recovery skills if Wit’s a bit low.
  • Power: Get 500+ to help with corners and keep her pace steady.
  • Stamina: Aim for 400–500 to hold up in Medium-distance races.
  • Guts: Not a big deal, keep it around 200–300 unless you’re stacking Guts bonuses.

Skills

Pick skills that boost her Leader role and Medium-distance game:

  • Unique Skill: U=ma² (nod to E=mc²) pumps up speed based on her position and rivals. Higher Wit makes it trigger better.
  • Recommended Skills:
    • Medium Straight Girl: Keeps her steady late in the race.
    • Runner’s High: Boosts her late-race push.
    • Corner Ace and Tactical Teach: Help her nail corners and stay stable.
    • Front Runner: Locks in 1st or 2nd place.
    • 探求心 (Seeking Knowledge) and 攻めの姿勢 (Aggressive Stance): Built-in skills that make her stronger.
  • Awakening Skills:
    • 中距離直線○ (Medium Straight ○) at Level 2.
    • 独占力 (Monopoly) at Level 3 for race control.

Support Cards

  • Go for Speed-focused cards with good bonds and Leader skill hints to pump up stats.
  • Solid setup: 3 Speed + 1 Wit + Super Creek (Stamina) or 2 Wit supports for balance.
  • SR Agnes Tachyon (Wisdom/Wit): Great for skill points and hint chances.

Training Tips

  • Focus on Speed and Wit Training: Hit sessions with multiple support cards to max out stats and friendships.
  • Manage Energy: Skip resting by picking energy-boosting event choices (like the New Year event in January). Enter summer camps with full energy for Level 5 training gains.
  • Races: Run G1 Medium-distance Turf races for fans and skill points. Aim for 60k–120k fans to level up her unique skill.
  • Inheritance: Get Leader aptitude to A through legacy inheritance. Skip End or Chaser legacies—they don’t fit her.

Playstyle

Run Agnes Tachyon as a Leader in Medium-distance Turf races (her Mile aptitude is D, so steer clear). Her skills let her hold position early and finish strong. Don’t overload on events to avoid injuries, and keep support cards in green condition.
