Sakura Bakushin O Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby
Written by Priya Kapoor
Sakura Bakushin O is a Short-distance Front runner with 20% Speed growth. She’s one of the easiest characters to train and great for clearing URA early.
Stat Priorities
Speed
Push Speed above 900+ by endgame. This is her main stat.
Power
Keep Power above 450+. It helps with turns and staying ahead.
Stamina
Aim for 300+. Inherit extra if you're planning to run URA Finals.
Wit
Get at least 350+ if you can to improve skill use and pacing control.
Guts
SKIP GUTS! Guts isn't useful for this build.
Best Support Cards
4 or 5 Speed Cards
Use Speed cards with good bond gain and Sprint or Front skills. Early rainbow procs matter more than rarity.
1 Power or Wit Card
Use Power if you’re missing stat coverage. Use Wit if you want more reliable skill triggers.
Training Strategy
Build Bond First
Start by training each support at least once to raise bond. Rainbow training unlocks make a huge difference.
Prioritize Speed
Always take Speed training if it has 2 or more supports. It scales fast and fuels her win condition.
Fill With Power or Wit
When Speed drills are weak, train Power or Wit. Both help smooth out her performance.
Don’t Over-Rest
Use Recreation if her mood is low. Rest only when there are no good drills.
Extra Races Late
After goal races, enter extra races for Skill Points. You'll need them to round out her kit.
Best Skills
Sprint and Front Skills
Anything that gives her early lead or keeps her ahead is worth grabbing.
Mid-Race Acceleration
Use skills that boost her speed in the middle of the race. They're more stable than final-spurt types.
Wit-Based Triggers
Training Wit helps her use more skills per race. It also makes Recovery and passives more reliable.
Race Style Tips
Sakura is only good at Short races. Don’t force her into Mile or Medium builds.
Use legacy parents that boost Power and Stamina. Good choices include:
El Condor Pasa
Daiwa Scarlet
Vodka
King Halo
Avoid any Chaser or Long-distance cards. They won’t help her clear URA.
Final Blurb
Sakura Bakushin O is fast, simple, and hard to mess up. Stack Speed, plug her stat gaps with inheritance, and don’t waste time in races she’s not built for.
If you follow her strengths, she wins fast and clean.
