Introduction to the impact of Uma Musume's 5 core stats on the race and the race phases. Stats are one of the most important factors in training, and understanding stats is as important as choosing training. Each stat is related to the race phase, and the race phase varies depending on the stadium and distance. The maximum stat limit in the Western version is 1200 for each attribute, but it may increase in the future with scaling degradation.

Speed affects the target speed in the late race and last spurt phases. Target speed is the maximum speed the Uma Musume wants to reach in that phase, and is different from the current speed. The speed stat varies depending on the race phase, positioning strategy, course layout, active skills, intelligence, etc. The speed stat affects the late race and last spurt phases. The speed value in the game can be lowered depending on the terrain type and terrain conditions.

Power affects acceleration height and lane change ability during a race. Stamina Contest, Repositioning, Power Conservation, and Release are Japan server-only mechanics that have not yet been applied to the global version. The Stamina Contest is activated when stamina is 1200 or higher and provides a speed buff in the last spurt phase. Repositioning uses HP to increase speed and change race position. Power Conservation reduces stamina consumption in the mid-race phase when certain positioning conditions are met. Release provides a small speed boost when entering the last spurt phase when certain conditions are met. Power is relevant in all race phases.

Stamina allows Uma Musume to run at full speed. If stamina is insufficient, speed will slow down, especially towards the end of the race. Stamina is gradually consumed during the race, and when it reaches 0, you get tired and fall behind. The longer the race, the more stamina is needed, and stamina can be recovered through recovery skills. Stamina is relevant in all race phases.

Guts reduces speed reduction when stamina is low and improves last spurt acceleration. Guts slightly increases base HP and is used to win in tie situations. If you cross the finish line at the same time, the Uma Musume with higher guts wins. Guts is mainly relevant in the last spurt phase and at the finish line.

Intelligence increases the probability of skill activation, improves movement efficiency, reduces stamina loss on downhill slopes, and improves reaction time to positioning decisions. Intelligence contributes greatly to skill activation probability. The position maintenance mechanism has not yet been added to the global version, but it is a race phase mechanism from the start to the middle race section. Charging behavior means that the Uma Musume suddenly moves forward during the race, and the higher the intelligence, the better the timing. Intelligence is relevant in all race phases.

All races, regardless of distance, are divided into 4 phases: early, mid, late, and last spurt. Each phase is related to specific skill activation conditions.

In a 2400m race, if 1/6 is 400m, each phase is divided into specific distances. In a 1000m race, if 1/6 is 167m, the phase division is different.

Uma Musume stats are not just numbers, each stat plays a different role depending on the race phase. Knowing what each stat does and which race phase it is most relevant to helps you understand the Uma Musume style. Learning the Uma Musume mechanism is like a knowledge marathon, and we can learn and grow together.
