The versatility of Daiwa Scarlet, the first runner you’ll officially train, makes her one of the best picks for those looking to win the URA Finale early on in Umamusume Pretty Derby.
But believe me, that in no way means her career is easy to complete. After all, when rising with the future number one, only the top spot suffices. To help you claim it, here’s the best Daiwa Scarlet build in Umamusume Pretty Derby.
About Daiwa Scarlet
Although capable of also excelling as a Pace Chaser, Scarlet’s unique Red Ace skill (or Resplendent Red Ace when at 3-stars or above) makes her a perfect Front Runner. The skill is the core of our build and allows her to get a huge speed boost when either first or fighting for the position mid to late-race.
Like all others in the game, Red Ace can also be upgraded based on your total fan count during a run. Keep in mind, though, that you’re not guaranteed to place first on every race, especially when playing with her at 2-stars. Sometimes, the Failing RNG might also show itself for disastrous results, so make sure not to go overboard when close to a Goal date.
Best Legacy Umamusume and Stats for Daiwa Scarlet
Since Front Runners demand Speed and Stamina to stay ahead of the pack, focus on getting Legacy Umamusume capable of offering huge boosts to both. If possible, also aim for Turf, Speed, Middle, or Front Runner star boosts. Believe me, as I saw during my first URA win, getting a single S-Rank during Inspiration can change everything.
Once you start Scarlet’s career, we will then prioritize Speed and Stamina training, all while taking part in regimens featuring support Umamusume to boost their friendship and our chances of getting skills. Here are the ideal stat thresholds you should aim for when entering the URA Qualifiers:
- Pace: 700+ / Ideally 900+
- Stamina: 300+ / ideally 600+
- Power: 400+ (Easy to reach if you invest heavily in speed) / Ideally 500+
- Guts: 300+
- Wit: 400+ (Easy to hit via Scarlet’s innate boost to the stat)

Since Speed and Stamina are the stars of the show, the best Daiwa Scarlet build features three Speed Cards, two Stamina Cards, and a skill-focused pick. Among them, the must-have is undoubtedly Super Creek’s [Piece of Mind], which gives you easy access to the Swinging Maestro passive. The skill is a game-changer and allows you to recover large amounts of Stamina on corners. For the remaining picks, go for cards that give you at least one of the following, as well as significant stat boosts:
- Unrestrained ([Beyond This Shining Moment] Silence Suzuka-exclusive)
- Firm Conditions O (Also part of Piece of Mind’s kit)
- Standard Distance O
Apart from the above, getting at least one more passive, such as Lay Low, and a few more performance-oriented picks, like Final Push, is also recommended. But don’t be hasty and make Swinging Maestro your priority. To make searching for the skills easier, you can check out the best overall support cards for Daiwa Scarlet below:
