Daiwa Scarlet Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Core Principles for Daiwa Scarlet Success

This build prioritizes early race dominance through strategic stat allocation and skill optimization. The goal is simple: seize 1st place quickly and maintain it without requiring maxed-out attributes.

Speed Reigns Supreme

Key Stat Order:

  • Speed: Mandatory focus for activating her Red Ace skill
  • Power: Aim for 500+ to resist overtakes
  • Stamina: 350+ (sufficient for Medium courses)
  • Wit: 400+ for skill consistency
  • Guts: Irrelevant for this strategy

Optimal Support Card Setup

  • 4 Speed Cards: Kitasan Black/Suzuka/Hayahide to boost early lead potential
  • 1 Stamina Card: Super Creek for sustainable racing
  • 1 Wit Card: Fine Motion for skill triggers and stamina management

Alternative with Limited Speed Cards

“Use 3 Speed + 2 Wit cards if lacking Speed options. Slightly reduces maximum velocity but improves skill reliability.”

Avoid: Double Stamina configurations – they dilute Speed focus unnecessarily.

Training Tactics

  • Prioritize Speed drills until Level 5 attainment
  • Only deviate for:
    • Drills with 3+ support characters
    • Critical skill hints (Corner/Straightaway Adept)
  • Use Wit sessions for partial stamina recovery
  • Maximize support friendships early for training efficiency
  • Avoid Guts training completely

Essential Skills

  • Red Ace (Non-negotiable): Core speed boost when leading
  • Corner/Straightaway Adept: Early advantage builders
  • Firm Conditions: Reliable track adaptation
  • Optional: Homestretch Haste or Swinging Maestro for backup

Race Configuration

Always use Front-running style with A-compatibility legacy partners:

  • Maruzenski
  • Seiun Sky
  • Mejiro McQueen

Key Takeaways

  • Speed > Power > Wit priority chain
  • Minimum 350 Stamina for Medium races
  • Front-runner legacy selection critical
  • Wit training over resting
  • Victory achievable through positioning, not raw stats
