Career Guide and TipsIf You Can't Win in Career

You're Entering Races with Low Aptitude
One reason you might struggle to succeed in a Career is entering races with low Aptitude. In this case, increasing Aptitude through Spark Inheritance before starting the career is the fastest path to completion.
Stamina Causes Med-Long Distance Losses

The number one reason for losing in Medium-Long Distance races is a lack of Stamina. When taking on the 3200m Tenno Sho (Spring), it's recommended to have around 600 Stamina. Also, secure as much Speed as possible.
Having Recovery Skills is Reassuring

To boost Stamina, use Stamina Sparks or Support Cards. If your Stamina is low, training an Umamusume with recovery skills or obtaining recovery through Support Cards will make your career easier.
