Sakura Laurel Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby

In Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, Sakura Laurel specializes in long-distance races as a Preceder with:

  • +20% Stamina growth
  • +10% Power growth

She thrives in 2500m+ Grass track races, using mid-pack positioning and recovery skills to dominate late stages. Her early game requires careful management but rewards strategic training.

Core Stats to Prioritize

  • Stamina (1100+): Critical for endurance and unlocking her unique title.
  • Speed (1000+): Maintains mid-pack position to trigger recovery skills.
  • Power (600+): Enhances acceleration during final stretches.
  • Wit (400+): Stabilizes mood and improves skill activation rates.
  • Guts (300+): Secondary priority unless building a Guts-focused strategy.

Optimal Support Card Setup

  • 3 Speed Cards: Focus on Long-distance/Preceder skills (e.g., Mejiro Dober).
  • 2 Stamina Cards: Super Creek preferred for reaching 1100+ Stamina.
  • 1 Power Card: Complements late-race performance.

Optional: Replace one card with Wit/Friend for mood control or event bonuses.

Training Guidelines

  • Early Game: Prioritize Speed drills to unlock Lv5 before final races.
  • Mid-Game: Gradually scale Stamina during Classic stage.
  • Power Training: Use as filler when Speed/Stamina options are limited.
  • Race Strategy: Avoid early G1 races due to temporary stamina penalties.
  • Event Choices: Select recovery options to offset early weaknesses.

Skill Recommendations
