TM Opera O Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby

To maximize T.M. Opera O’s potential in long-distance races, you’ll need balanced Speed and Stamina development. Her innate abilities aren’t strong enough to carry races alone, making strategic card selection and inspiration management crucial.

Essential Stat Targets

  • Speed

    Reach 150+ before debut, escalating to 800+ by late game for race dominance.

  • Stamina

    Target 600+ for Long races unless using stamina-recovery skills like Swinging Maestro.

  • Power

    Maintain 500-600+ to handle turns and late-race positioning.

  • Wit

    300-350 range enhances stamina recovery and skill activation frequency.

  • Guts

    Only prioritize if experimenting with Guts-focused builds.

Optimal Support Card Setup

  • 3 Speed Cards

    Choose SSR/SR cards with bond boosts and relevant skill triggers.

  • 2 Stamina Cards

    Super Creek is mandatory for recovery; pair with another Stamina card for Long races.

  • 1 Wit Card

    Fine Motion stabilizes stamina management and training consistency.

  • Borrow Strategy

    Use borrowed skills like Oguri Cap’s acceleration or Tokai Teio’s endurance to compensate for weak innate skills.

Training Guide

  • Early Speed Focus: Secure 150+ Speed pre-debut before branching into other stats.
  • Stamina Pacing: Build gradually after Speed foundation using Super Creek’s recovery to prevent burnout.
  • Wit Over Rest: Use Wit drills for stamina top-ups instead of wasting turns resting.
  • Skill Opportunism: Prioritize drills offering key skills like Homestretch Haste even if suboptimal stat-wise.
  • Race Selection: Focus on Long/Medium Turf events matching her specialization.

Skill Recommendations

  • Swinging Maestro (vital for stamina recovery)
  • Homestretch Haste (late-race speed boost)
  • Calm in a Crowd/Up-Tempo (positioning and pace control)
  • Legacy Skills: Borrow Oguri Cap or Tokai Teio abilities for stronger unique effects.

Race Strategy

  • Styles: Use Pace or Late strategies; avoid Front-running.
  • Track Types: Stick to Turf surfaces with Long/Medium distances.
  • Legacy Options:
    • Oguri Cap
    • Tokai Teio
    • Silence Suzuka

    Avoid Sprint-specialized legacies.

Key Takeaways

  • Core Stats: Speed (150+ debut) + Stamina (600+ without recovery skills)
  • Card Loadout: 3 Speed / 2 Stamina / 1 Wit (prioritize Super Creek + Fine Motion)
  • Skill Borrow: Oguri Cap or Tokai Teio for better unique abilities
  • Training: Use Wit drills to minimize downtime
  • Race Style: Pace or Late focus on Turf tracks
  • Build Dependency: Success hinges entirely on stat optimization and borrowed skills
