Vodka Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Having trouble securing victories with Vodka? This build optimizes her performance by prioritizing Speed and Power, supplemented by sufficient Stamina and Wit for endurance in extended races.

Stat Distribution Guide

Speed: Top priority for overtaking opponents and late-race surges.
Power: Essential for maintaining position during corners and sprints.
Stamina: Target 400–500 (adjust if using Stamina-inheritance).
Wit: Maintain at least 300 to boost skill activation rates.
Guts: Minimize unless other stats are maxed.

Recommended Support Cards

3 Speed-focused cards
2 Power-boosting cards
1 Stamina/Wit card (e.g., Fine Motion)

Avoid cards designed for Front Runners.

Training Strategy

Prioritize Speed/Power sessions early
Only train Stamina/Wit with multiple bond opportunities
Enter Summer Camp with high energy and mood
Trigger bond bursts quickly
Rest when stamina or mood drops

Ignore skill hints that don’t align with her Late/Pace style.

Homestretch Haste: Universal final-stretch boost.
Slick Surge: Synergizes with other late-game skills.
Go with the Flow: Improves positional awareness.
Preferred Position: Reduces mid-race fatigue.

Race Tactics

Start with Pace strategy; switch to Late only if stamina permits
Never race with neutral/poor mood
Arima Kinen participation trumps victory

Avoid excessive Guts training

This build capitalizes on Vodka’s strengths—dominate with Speed/Power first, manage stamina efficiently, and select complementary skills. With proper momentum and strategic skill picks, she’ll consistently compete in late-game events like the URA Finals.
