Quick Links
When you first start playingUmamusume: Pretty Derby, the game takes you through a small tutorial where you learn how to train your derby through the career mode. During this tutorial, you’ll be training Daiwa Scarlet, and she gets added to the general character roster as a two-star character right after.
After getting enough of her copies, you can raise Daiwa Scarlet up to five stars. She’s arguably one of the best derbies to level up and train since she can work in a lot of different styles and distance types depending on your build, giving you a ton of flexibility.
Late (E)
End (G)
As the first horse girl that you train in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Daiwa Scarlet was bound to be a flexible character, especially for the early game. As you can see from above, she has an A rating in Mile and Medium, with aneasy chance to bring her Long distance on an A rating as wellwith just one good Legacy.
As for the styles, she can run as a Front Runner or a Pace Chaser, though itcan be a little more difficult to play her on the former style, especially during the early game. Daiwa Scarlet’s Unique Skill gives her more determination to stay at the number one spot during the second half of the race, which does work better in the Front Runner style.
The best distance and type for Daiwa Scarlet iseasily the Front Runner on a Mile.
Mile races are shorter, makingit easy to build her as a Front Runnereven if you don’t have the best Legacies or Support cards.
Daiwa Scarlet Career Guide
Daiwa Scarlet has Guts as her highest base stat,followed by Wit, Speed, Power, and Stamina in that order. This fits perfectly with her career since it mostly has Mile and Medium races, which both require little Stamina. However, as her final race before the URA Championship, she needs to place first in a Long race.
This can beexponentially difficult if you don’t focus a little on her Stamina during the career. Her career’s final race is easily the hardest one to cross, but here’s how you can prioritize different years of her career to beat it easily:
How To Train
Junior
During the first year, your priority should be to upgrade your Support Cards as much as possible. This mainly happens when youtrain the skills that have multiple Support Cards on the top right. However, it’s also important to focus on the right stats.
For example, while you may do a few Gut trainings if it has three or more Support Cards,you should largely avoid this one for Daiwa Scarlet, especially if you’re using her as a Front Runner.
Classic
During the second year, you can divide your training between focusing on the best stats for your target distance and style (more on this below) andrunning a bunch of races to get extra Skill Points.
Since Daiwa Scarlet is a hybrid character, shemainly gets better at a specific distance and stylewith her skills.
Senior
Finally, in the last year of your training, your main focus should be to get to therecommended level of each stat on Daiwa Scarletoutside of getting some Stamina for the final Long race.
Daiwa Scarlet Legacy Recommendations
During the early game, you won’t have good Legacies to use with Daiwa Scarlet since you won’t have high rank runs with your characters yet. You can try tofollow some of the people on the leaderboard of the Team Trialstoborrow their Legacies three times a day for a price, but there needs to be some specific skills you’re looking for.
Your main priority apart from the affinity with the Legacies will be Speed. You need as much Speed on these as you can possibly get since theLegacies can give boosts to your character three times during a career. After Speed, you can look for some Power, Stamina, and specific distance and style skills likeMile, Medium, Front Runner, and Pace Chaserfor Daiwa Scarlet.

Daiwa Scarlet has aten percent Growth Rate on Speed and 20 percent on Guts, which already makes it easy to get her Guts in adecent place with just a few trainings. The extra growth rate in Speed also helps her when you’re building the best Support Cards for your target. However, her recommended stats can differ based on a lot of factors.
As mentioned in the table above, you’ll need a high Speed and Power regardless of your target distance, but you’llalso need to work on your Stamina if you’re building her for Long distance, which you should only do if you achieved an A rating on it. Generally, Daiwa Scarlet doesn’t need as much Gut and Wit.
It’s important to remember that youwon’t reach these recommended stats in the early game, especially if you’re not using a good Legacy.
As you do more runs, your account will have better Legacies andyou can start aiming for these stats.
Outside of the distance, your style willalso affect your recommended stats. For example, if you’replanning to use Daiwa Scarlet as a Front Runner, you’ll need to bump her Stamina upeven more, but the Power can be reduced. Wit generally helps her trigger the skills in time, which is also quite important for her.
