What is an Acupuncturist Event?
Appears Randomly During a Career
The Acupuncturist Event features Sasami Anshinzawa and has a low chance of occurring, making it a rare and lucky event when it does appear.
Gain Effects Based on Your Choice
In the Acupuncturist Event, your choices grant different effects. You can boost stats, acquire Skills, or gain helpful conditions, so pick the option that best suits your situation.
There Is a Risk of Failure
The Acupuncturist Event has a chance to fail. The risk and severity of failure increase with higher-ranked options, so the further down the list you choose, the greater the chance of failure and the stronger the negative effects.

Best Choices for Acupuncturist Event
Get ‘Charming ◯' Before Debut Race
If it's before the debut race, choose 'Activate the Charm Chakra' to get 'Charming ◯'. This option has a high success rate, and early in the game, 'Charming ◯' helps you build friendships faster.
After Debut Race, Pick the 2nd Option
At any time except before the debut race, the second option, 'Activate the Winning Chakra,' is recommended. On success, you directly gain 'Corner Recovery' and 'Straightaway Recovery' skills rather than just hints, making it easier to train a high-rating Umamusume.
 Tips! | Recovery Skills are important in Team Trials and Champions Meeting, so this option is recommended if you want to conserve Skill Points. |
|---|
The 1st Option Is Not Recommended
The first option is not recommended due to its low success rate and high risk of lowering all your stats. This can significantly undermine your progress in the Career. Since you can recover stats through good training sessions, it's best to avoid the 1st option.
| Tips! | The reward for success is huge, so if you're prepared to restart your Career many times, it might be worth picking it to aim for a high roll. |
|---|
The 3rd Option's Benefits Are Minimal
The third option increases your Max Energy by 12. Although the success rate is high, its benefits are hard to notice compared to the other options.
Acupuncturist Event Special Cutscene
If You Choose 'This is too sketchy..'
If you select 'This is too sketchy. Let's quit while we still can.' 3 times, Tazuna will appear, triggering a special cutscene where she chases Sasami Anshinzawa. After Tazuna's arrival, the Acupuncturist Event will end automatically.
No Energy Recovery
If you end the Acupuncturist Event with the special cutscene, you won't recover any Energy. Since there are no gameplay benefits, only choose this option if you want to see the scene.
