Reader’s Question:
I’m trying to aim for a UC in the new Uma Musume training Legends. I’ve been studying strategies on YouTube, and I’ve been using a recommended setup of 2 Speed, 2 Stamina, and 1 Wisdom. However, I can only manage to get a UD in the early stages or
a UE. I’ve been consistently following the High Seiko route. I have a 3-star Almond Eye, a maxed out Kitasan Black, a maxed out Super Creek, and either a maxed out Fine Motion or Air Messiah. I also borrow a maxed out Air Shakal from a friend. Is this too difficult? Should I focus on improving my gacha support cards before trying again?

A Journey to UC in Uma Musume’s New Legends Training: Tips from My Experience

So, here I am, sitting at my desk, juggling parenting duties while trying to master Uma Musume’s new training Legends. If you’re like me and have found yourself diving deep into the world of horse girls, racing stats, and strategy videos, you know it can be a wild ride. Today, I want to talk about a question I stumbled upon that reflects a lot of my own experiences—how to aim for a UC (Ultimate Class) and why it sometimes feels so darn elusive!

Finding My Footing in the Uma Musume World

First, let’s take a moment to appreciate how overwhelming it can be when you first start training your horse girls. I remember my early days trying to grasp the game mechanics, constantly switching between speed and stamina setups, and wondering why I was always stuck at a UD (Ultimate Division) or even a UE (Ultimate Elite). It was like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while riding a rollercoaster—disorienting yet oddly thrilling! You mentioned a setup of 2 Speed, 2 Stamina, and 1 Wisdom. I’ve tried this configuration myself, and it can be a solid base, especially if you’re leaning toward a high-speed approach. However, I have to say, the key here is not just the setup but how well you execute the training and race strategies.

Understanding Training Routes and Stats

Now, let’s talk about the High Seiko route. Oh boy, I’ve been there! This route has its pros and cons. On one hand, it’s reliable for certain builds, but on the other, it can feel limiting if you’re not optimizing your training. For me, it was all about trial and error. I experimented with different support cards, and I found that while I had a 3-star Almond Eye and a maxed-out Kitasan Black, the real secret sauce was understanding how to leverage their strengths during races. The post you shared pointed out something crucial: focusing on speed stats. I can’t stress this enough; if you’re not getting close to capping out your speed, you may want to reassess your training approach. I remember one game session where I aimed for a speed cap but ended up with some (let’s just say) less-than-ideal stats. It was frustrating, but it taught me the value of prioritizing speed while still maintaining a decent stamina level.

Mastering the “How” of It All

Here’s where it gets tricky. You can have the best cards in the game, but if you’re not utilizing them correctly, it’s like having a shiny new car but forgetting how to drive it. The user’s comment about focusing on friendship and motivation levels resonated with me. I vividly recall the times when I would get caught up in the numbers and forget to check how my girl’s mood was doing. If your horse isn’t feeling it, trust me, the race will show! Also, let’s not forget about the importance of “心得” or insights. These little gems can make a huge difference in your training sessions. In my case, I started prioritizing pink insights during the junior stages and continued to gather star insights during the classic period. It’s all about building that foundation early on.

Support Cards: To Improve or Not to Improve?

Now, onto your support cards. You’ve mentioned having some solid cards, but if you’re consistently falling short of your goals, it might be worth focusing on improving your gacha support cards before diving back into training. I once spent weeks grinding out races, only to realize my support cards were holding me back. It felt like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops—it just wasn’t happening. Sometimes, it’s better to take a step back, refine your toolkit, and then come back stronger. I had a similar experience where I upgraded my support cards and saw a noticeable difference in my performance. It’s like going from driving a basic compact car to a turbocharged sports car—you feel the difference!

Final Thoughts: Embracing the Journey

So, is aiming for UC too difficult? Not at all! It’s definitely within reach, especially with the right mindset and strategies. Just remember to keep it fun. Uma Musume is all about the journey—both in racing and in the friendships you build along the way. Keep experimenting, watching those YouTube guides, and don’t hesitate to modify your strategies based on what works for you. At the end of the day, whether you’re aiming for a UC or just enjoying the ride, what matters most is that you’re having fun while doing it. So, go out there, train hard, and may your horse girls always cross the finish line ahead of the pack! Happy racing!
