Taiki Shuttle Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby
Written by Priya Kapoor
Taiki Shuttle is built for Short races and performs best with high Speed, strong Power, and consistent skill triggers in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. If you focus on Speed first and keep her mood stable, she becomes one of the easiest sprinters to train.
Stat Priorities
Speed
This is the most important stat. Aim for 700+ by the end of your run.
Power
Helps with fast starts and cornering. Push this to at least 500+.
Wit
Aim for 300+ up to 400. Wit helps with skill activation and keeps her stable in races.
Stamina
Only raise this to about 250+, MAYBE up to 300. Short races don’t need much.
Guts
Optional. Only increase it if you’re using Guts-focused supports or need a backup boost.
Best Support Cards for Taiki Shuttle
3 Speed Cards
Use Speed cards with early bond bonuses and Short-distance skills. Bond is more important than skill hints early on.
1 Power Card
Pick one with strong stat events or clean training gains. Power drills become better later in the run.
1 Wit Card
Fine Motion or Symboli Rudolf both work well. Wit helps her stay sharp and trigger key skills.
1 Flex Slot
Use this for a Friend card, extra Power, or a backup Wit card based on your deck.
Training Strategy
Focus Speed Early
Train Speed first. Try to reach Level 5 training before the final few races.
Build Bond Fast
Prioritize drills that boost friendship early. This unlocks powerful bonus stats later on.
Use Multi-Support Drills
Any drill with 2 or more support cards is worth doing, even if it’s not the main stat.
Avoid Over-Resting
Use Recreation or Wit drills to recover mood or stamina instead of wasting turns on Rest.
Don’t Train Stamina
Short-distance races don’t need it. Save those turns for Speed or Power instead.
Best Skills for Taiki Shuttle
Sprint Boosts
Use Short-distance and straight-line speed skills. They give strong boosts without much setup.
Start and Corner Skills
Early triggers help her take the lead and hold it. Front-based pacing is ideal.
Wit-Based Skills
Her build benefits from Wit, so skill uptime improves if you train it often.
Optional Morale Skills
If you have mood problems, consider taking skills that help keep her stable.
Race Style Tips
Taiki Shuttle works best as a Leader or Betweener. Raise her aptitude to A using legacy support. Only run her in Short-distance turf races to match her stat spread and skill type.
Good legacy choices include:
Sakura Bakushin O
Haru Urara
Oguri Cap
Avoid long-distance or Chaser-focused legacies. They won’t support her stat build or tactics.
Final Blurb
Taiki Shuttle is a fast and simple sprinter to build once you stick to what she needs. Keep your focus on Speed and Power, pick clean drills, and run her only in Short-distance races.
With the right setup, she can win almost every race without needing high stamina or complex recovery plans!
