Horse betting is a fun past-time many people enjoy. Slot machines are another form of gambling, which is enjoyed by many adults to scratch that lucky itch. However, as Saugus’ students are under-age, we lack these and many more outlets to entertain ourselves with luck of the draw. The solution to our generational problem is something called a gacha game. Gacha games are luck-based, fair gambling games that let you earn currencies via activities in game. These can be spent on a chance for characters in an overglorified slot machine. The issue that we still cannot gamble on horse racing is where the game Uma Musume fills the niche. Now, if you feel encouraged to play the game, just heed this warning. Many a man has waltzed into the game and blindly stumbled their way through. This guide will assist fellow gamblers in optimizing their Uma’s career rank output by teaching them how to min-max energy regeneration, and how to max out support cards early.
Managing energy in Uma Musume is an important aspect of the game. Energy allows you to train without failure, train in general, and the result is the cost you pay to improve stats, imagine these as your metaphorical chips. Imagine the career menu as a casino, where you can do odd jobs for the casino to gain chips. The way most people choose to get more chips is by using money from their bank account to receive more of the currency. This is an analogy for the rest button, which is our metaphorical teller. The rest button is an inefficient method of getting energy, as it gives you 3 payouts, which are 30, 50, or 70 respectively. They aren’t even payouts either, so your metaphorical chips are gained, but you lose time to use those chips. They can also decrease your mood and give you negative status effects, which is like getting inebriated and putting it all on black.
You should only rest a maximum of six times per career playthrough. The odd jobs that actually give you benefits for partaking in them would be wit training, recreation, rest and recreation during the beach events, and finally general events with options that give you energy. To start with wit training, you gain two stats out of it. You gain mainly wit, but you gain speed as well, but you can gain 5 energy. Which is huge, as you can train stats while gaining energy, and wit itself is an important stat for the race track, as it activates skills. The second odd job would be recreation, which gives you a 1 in 3 chance to gain 10 energy depending on the event you get. It can also boost your mood, boosting your Uma’s performance. The third job is rest and recreation, which gives an increased chance of getting 70 energy and boosts mood. Uma Musume gives you general events that assist in giving you more points in your stats, and giving you more energy is what we are looking for. By min-maxing energy you can better train your Uma.
Support cards are another aspect of Uma Musume that are under-utilized by new players. These are generally randomly selected in the new players, however, certain Umas benefit from certain support card spreads. Agnes Tachyon needs 3 Speed Support Cards and 3 Stamina Support cards to maximize efficiency. Maxing out your friendship with these support cards as early as humanly possible is a great way to ensure your Umas have a higher chance of winning their races. The support cards also present traits that will improve the efficiency of your Uma, some are better to unlock earlier. To maximize your chances of getting these cards to max earlier, you should always train skills that have 3 or more support cards on them. You should do rainbow training, as it gives more stats for your Uma. However, you should still pay attention to the recommended stat spread and the wit training strategy. A general strategy to use is if there are less than three Umas on each stat you should instead try for either wit training if low on energy, or the preferred level up stats.
Uma Musume is a fun game, where you can do horse races and gamble for better horses. This is a great way to underage gamble, however knowing how to play the game better will improve your chances at making good horses with good legacies. This will make your horses better by min-maxing speed usage, and making support cards that will benefit your Uma’s early performance. Uma Musume can help us young people have some gambling fun. So will you get gambling for Umas, or will you be dU-MA?
