El Condor Pasa Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby
Written by Priya Kapoor
El Condor Pasa is a Medium and Mile Pace Chaser with high Speed and Power growth in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. She’s easy to train, good for URA clears, and works well in PvP if you focus her build correctly.
Here’s a basic guide on how to build her.
Stat Priorities
Speed
Cap it at 1200 max. Her late-race speed depends on this.
Stamina
Aim for 700+. Enough to cover Medium tracks without over-relying on recovery skills.
Power
Push it to 1000+. Helps with acceleration, lane switching, and final burst.
Wit
Hit at least 500+. This boosts skill activation and avoids mood issues.
Guts
400+ is fine. You’ll get this passively while training Speed and Power.
Best Support Cards
2–3 Speed Cards
Helps hit Speed cap. Use ones with Mile or Medium skills and good friendship gains.
Top picks: Kitasan Black, Biwa Hayahide, Mihono Bourbon, Tosen Jordan.
2 Power Cards
Takes advantage of her 20 percent growth. Look for cards with good acceleration bonuses.
Top picks: Narita Brian, Rhadamanthus, El Condor Pasa (Power version if nothing better).
1 Wit or Friend Card
Use Fine Motion or Tamamo Cross for Wit. Use Tazuna if you need energy support.
Training Strategy
Build Bond Early
Train in drills with support overlaps. Unlock rainbow training as early as possible.
Avoid Resting
Use Recreation events to manage energy. Only Rest if absolutely needed.
Focus Speed and Power
Alternate between the two based on which drill has stronger support bonuses.
Prepare for Summer Camp
Enter with high energy. All four turns matter due to boosted training levels.
Race Plan
Hit 60k fans before February Year 3 to evolve her skill. Go for 120k total by December for bonus rewards.
Best Skills
Speed and Acceleration
Take late-race speed skills like Arcane Professor, Speed Star, and Mile Ruler.
Lane Switch Skills
Essential for a Pace Chaser. Look for Outer Swell Prep and similar positioning boosts.
Recovery Skills
Only grab one if you’re running longer Medium tracks or your Stamina is low.
Race Style Tips
Stick to Pace Chaser style only. That’s her best path.
Only race on Turf tracks, never Dirt.
Focus on Mile and Medium. Don’t bother with Short or Long distances.
Good legacy parents:
Oguri Cap
Vodka
Mejiro McQueen
Avoid any inheritance paths that focus on Front-runner or Dirt builds.
Final Blurb
El Condor Pasa is a great starter horse for Uma Musume Global. She’s fast, consistent, and works well in most races. Focus on Speed and Power, keep her on Turf, and she’ll win more often than not.
She’s an easy investment that keeps paying off.
