Maruzensky Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby
Written by Priya Kapoor
Maruzensky is a Medium-distance Front runner with 20% Speed and 10% Stamina growth in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. She’s fast, flashy, and reliable for URA clears if you build her right and keep her in her lane.
Stat Priorities
Speed
Push Speed to 1000+ by endgame. This is her strongest stat and your main focus every run.
Stamina
Aim for at least 400+. Go higher if you plan to run Long-distance races without gold recovery.
Wit
Target 350+ to help trigger key skills like Concentration and Early Lead.
Power
Only train it passively. Skip Power cards unless she’s getting stuck or boxed out.
Guts
Skipping this is probably the best move. Guts doesn’t help Front runners at this point in the game.
Best Support Cards
4 Speed Cards
Use Speed cards with high bond and Medium or Front-runner skills. Prioritize consistent early training.
1 Stamina Card
Use Super Creek or a card with strong gold recovery if you’re going beyond Medium distance.
1 Friend Card or 1 Wit Card
Wit helps increase skill activation and makes training more reliable early on, vs better early training stability if you go with the Friend card.
Training Strategy
Build Bond Early
Get every support to light blue bond as soon as you can. Rainbow training unlocks your stat scaling.
Prioritize Speed
Always take Speed drills if 2 or more supports are stacked. That’s her primary carry stat.
Use Wit or Stamina to Fill
When Speed drills are weak, use Wit or Stamina to keep balance. Don’t waste turns.
Use Recreation
Only Rest if Recreation isn’t available. It’s safer and boosts mood too.
Run Extra Races
After goal races, add a few more to stack Skill Points. You’ll need them for key Medium and Front-runner skills.
Best Skills
Front-Runner Skills
Skills like Early Lead, Final Push, and Concentration are key to holding the front.
Recovery Skills
Swinging Maestro or similar is great if going Long-distance. It lets you cut back on raw Stamina.
Stable Triggers
Anything that boosts speed mid-race or improves start position is worth picking up.
Race Style Tips
Maruzensky is best on Medium tracks, but with enough recovery, she can handle Long.
Don’t try Mile or Chaser builds. She isn’t made for them.
Use legacy parents with Stamina and Power inheritances like:
Super Creek
Symboli Rudolf
El Condor Pasa
Avoid anything tied to Late Surger or End Closer builds.
Final Blurb
Maruzensky is smooth to raise if you don’t overcomplicate her. Stack Speed, balance her stamina, and keep her skills clean and simple.
She’s built to win from the front and doesn’t need anything crazy to get it done.
TL;DR
Run her only in Medium or Long-distance races
Use 4 Speed, 1 Stamina card, and 1 Friend or 1 Wit
Speed should hit 1000+ by endgame
Keep Stamina around 400+ or add recovery skills
Wit should reach 350+ for better skill triggers
No Power or Guts cards needed
Prioritize Speed training when stacked
Use Recreation over Rest whenever possible
Add extra races late to farm Skill Points
Only grab Front-runner and Recovery-based skills
