Uma Musume Race Calculator � Optimize Your Builds Before You Run
Building the perfect Uma for Championship Meetings or Team Races is half science, half art. Our Uma Musume race calculator helps you estimate expected performance by combining base stats (Speed, Stamina, Power, Guts, Wisdom) with race conditions (distance, track, weather, lane order) and strategy (Nige, Senko, Sashi, Oikomi). Use it to compare builds, test support-card routes, and decide which skills are worth chasing.
How the Estimate Works (Plain-English Overview)
- Leg phases: Opening ? Mid ? Last Spurt. Each phase weighs stats and skills differently.
- Pace & Positioning: Strategy affects early placement and overtake chances.
- Stamina Check: If estimated stamina < requirement, late fade reduces finish time.
- Skill Procs: Tempo/accel skills that fit the distance & phase can shift placements.
- RNG & Field: Rival stats and field size add variance; the calculator shows likely ranges, not certainties.
What Inputs Matter Most
| Input | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Distance (Short/Mile/Mid/Long) | Sets stamina requirement and which skills/stat weights scale. |
| Track Type (Turf/Dirt) | Alters suitability and skill usefulness. |
| Course Layout (turns/straight) | Influences acceleration windows and overtake zones. |
| Weather/Track Condition | Small but meaningful modifiers to speed/power and proc value. |
| Strategy (Nige/Senko/Sashi/Oikomi) | Controls positioning and conflict with other runners. |
| Base Stats (Spd/Sta/Pow/Gut/Wis) | Core performance; thresholds matter more than raw totals. |
| Skills (start, mid, spurt, conditionals) | Timing + synergy with strategy and distance = big swings. |
Quick Stat Priorities by Strategy
| Strategy | Core Priorities | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nige (Front-runner) | Speed ? Wisdom ? Stamina | Early lead; suffers if stamina is short or if chased by strong Senko. |
| Senko (Stalker) | Speed ? Power/Wisdom ? Stamina | Balanced; benefits from mid-phase tempo skills. |
| Sashi (Sei/Hold-up) | Speed/Power ? Wisdom ? Stamina | Needs lanes to overtake; acceleration skills crucial. |
| Oikomi (Chaser) | Power ? Speed/Wisdom ? Stamina | Late burst; risky without reliable spurt/accel skills. |
Distance & Stamina Heuristics (Rule-of-Thumb)
These are ballpark targets to pass the stamina check assuming typical field and neutral conditions. Adjust upward for heavy skills load or poor suitability; downward if you stack stamina/relax/recovery skills.
| Distance | Stamina Heuristic | What to Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Short (?1,200m) | Low-moderate | Speed/Power dominate; accel skills win sprints. |
| Mile (~1,600m) | Moderate | Balance Speed/Sta; tempo skills matter. |
| Mid (~2,000m) | Moderate-high | Stamina checks start biting; mid-phase control. |
| Long (2,400m�3,200m) | High | Stamina + late accel; Guts can clutch in spurt. |
Skills: Timing > Count
- Opening/Positioning: Helps Nige/Senko secure lanes; reduces traffic for Sashi/Oikomi.
- Mid-Phase Tempo: Raises pace, preserving position; often the highest average value.
- Last Spurt Acceleration: Decisive for overtakes�synergize with your strategy.
- Conditional Skills: Triggered by corner count, slope, or rivals; great when matched to course.
Tip: A few well-timed golds beat a pile of mismatched skills.
How to Estimate Without a Calculator (Manual Method)
- Pick distance & course ? check stamina heuristic.
- Compare your Sta vs. requirement ? if short, expect a late fade penalty.
- Score your stats by weights (e.g., Speed 40%, Stamina 20%, Power 20%, Wisdom 15%, Guts 5% for many mid courses�adjust for strategy).
- Add skill EV: + small % for well-timed golds, ? if skills don�t fit timing/course.
- Adjust for field: Stronger rivals or crowded strategy (many Nige) reduce your EV.
This won�t be as precise as a simulator, but it�s great for A/B testing builds.
When to Use the Race Calculator
- Before spending shards/support points to lock a build.
- To choose between two training routes (e.g., higher Speed vs. more balanced Sta/Power).
- To check if a skill swap (tempo ? accel) moves your expected placement.
- For Championship Meeting prep when course details are announced.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Under-stamming long courses and blaming RNG.
- Stacking many off-timed skills that rarely proc.
- Ignoring Wisdom for gate/positioning/skill rate.
- Forcing Oikomi on tight, short tracks with limited overtake windows.
FAQ
Does Guts matter?
Less than Speed/Power/Wisdom most of the time, but it helps in spurt sustain, especially for long races or close finishes.
How big is Wisdom�s impact?
It affects skill activation and race decisions (less weaving, better lines). Many builds undervalue it.
Are gold skills always better?
Usually, but only when timing + course match. A perfectly timed white can outperform a mistimed gold.
Why did my Nige lose a lead?
Stamina checks, late accel from rivals, or crowded front-runner fields can erode your advantage.
Can I copy meta builds?
Use them as a starting point. Always adapt to the specific course and your support inventory.
