Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Wit Guide

This is a guide on Wit, which determines the skill activation rate in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Learn what wit does, and how to increase it in this guide.

What Does Wit Do?

Determines the Rate of Skill Activation

Skill Activation

The Wit stat determines the skill activation rate during the race, allowing your Umamusume to perform better depending on what skills they got.

Higher Wit stat also lowers the chances of being Rushed during a race. Being Rushed consumes more stamina than normal during the middle part of a race.

Stamina Consumption

How to Increase Wit

Train in Wit

Wit Study

During career mode, players have the option to assign Wit training to their Umamusume, increasing their power stat. This will be the primary method for increasing Wit, which is enhanced by supports. Ensure that friendship gauges are raised accordingly to optimize the stats obtained from training.

This is also the less risky training, as it has the lowest failure rate among all stat trainings when your energy is half or lower.
