Team Trials Guide

Team trials is the basic PvP in Umamusume that pairs you up against random opponents in the same class. Five races will be performed between you and your opponent (3v3 teams for each race) with 6 NPC Umas included.

Only the highest score will be recorded per week, so the goal is to train Umas that are capable of scoring high.

There are different components to the scoring, but most of those details don’t really change how you want to build the Umas.

TLDR is that skill activations contribute a lot to the score. You want to choose skills that have the highest likelihood of activating (even if some of them don’t contribute to winning). You’ll need lots of skill activations to score high, winning will happen naturally as you have many opportunities to do so within the week.

Each race type has an "Ace" slot on top. This is a special slot that grants a 10% score bonus by default to the Uma placed there. You should place your Uma with the highest score potential there, white skills score 500 and gold skills score 1200.

If possible, bring at least 1 Wit card,

increases the chance of skills activating, which will make the scoring more consistent.

Bringing one Uma of each style (per team) is ideal, though not required.

Here are the skills ranked from best to worst depending on the likelihood of them activating.

For skills that can be double circled, only take the single circle version as double circle does not increase the score it gives. Gold skill activations score 1200 and white skills score 500, so weigh them up a bit depending on the SP costs.

Generic Skills

• Best
• Good
• Bad

Style Specific Skills

• Front Runner
• Pace Chaser
• Late Surger
• End Closer

Distance Specific Skills

For distance specific skills, they will be marked with FPLE, for Front Runner, Pace Chaser, Late Surger and End Closer respectively. Parenthesis will be used if that style uses the skill better than the others that are listed.

• Sprint Skills
• Mile Skills
• Medium Skills
• Long Skills

Unique Skills

In general, it’s not advised to take inherited uniques as the base cost is very high (200) and it scores the same as a normal skill.

Below is a rough tier list for which uniques are the most consistent to activate, using the Umas default styles, top being most consistent.

Unique skill levels also affect the scoring, 1 and 2 star uniques score less than 3 star uniques.

Front Runners and Pace Chasers are generally favoured as the inclusion of NPCs (of randomized styles) often disrupts the skill/unique activation requirements of Late Surgers and End Closers.

It’s generally ideal to diversify and have three unique styles per team, as there is a good position bonus for ranking first between all the Umas of the same style at certain points in the race.

This score bonus is 2000 maximum for each unique style, so it’s fine to double up on a style as long as you don’t disrupt your own Umas skill requirements (i.e. having Seiun Sky alongside another Front Runner).

The most important stat when it comes to finishing a race is

• With no skills other than heals and no downhills (these reduce
  

  Stamina
  consumption).

All of them done with S distance, winning by a big margin earns you more score so if you want to min-max really hard it’s worthwhile getting.

Do leave a little leeway as these are the bare minimum values, and enemies could have debuff skills and speed skills consume a very small amount of HP (since you run faster).

Reducing

or also reduces the necessary.

For Medium or below, only the highest distance has been listed as the requirements should be fairly easy to hit.

Relying on heals to finish the race drops your consistency as skill activation rate can never reach 100%, the more you rely on them the less consistent you’ll be.

There’s about a 55% chance of getting 2500/2600 in Long, and 45% of getting 3000/3200/3400/3600.

Generally people will aim for one of these, as training your uma for both isn’t the most practical, train for either 2600 or 3600.
