How to Level Up Unique Skill
Level Up During Specific Events in a Career

Unique Skill level increases in 3 ways during a Career: "Valentine's Day," "Fan Festival," and "Holiday Season." Also, you must meet the condition of having a certain number of fans for it to increase.
Period | Event |

Senior, Early February | Valentine's Day |
Senior, Early April | Fan Festival |
Senior, Late December | Holiday Season |
Earn Fans in G1 Races
While some Umamusume can reach the required fan count through objectives alone, most cannot. Aim to meet the goal by entering Races that offer a large number of fans.
