What are Conditions

Passive Effects on Your Trainee

Conditions are Passive Effects on Your Trainee

Conditions are passive effects that affect your character's training. Orange conditions will benefit your character while blue conditions will hinder their training.

Gained From Random Events or Dialogue Choices

Gain conditions from random events and dialogue choices

Your character can gain conditions from random events or certain dialogue choices.

This can be decided by your trainee and Support Cards. For example, Gold Ship has a Trainee Event called This One's For Keeps! that could give her the Slacker bad condition.

Umamusume Event Choice Checker

Check Full Stats for Trainee's Conditions

Click Full Stats to Check Trainee

You can press the Full Stats button in the Career screen to check your Trainee's conditions. Orange conditions are good while the dark blue ones are bad.

How to Manage Conditions

Infirmary Can Remove Bad Conditions

Use the Infirmary to remove bad conditions

Once you receive a bad condition, the Infirmary will be unlocked. Going to the Infirmary will grant your character +20 Energy and a chance to remove one bad condition.

Some Bad Conditions are Manageable

Sometimes, you do not need to immediately remove a bad condition. For example, the Night Owl condition will add an event where your character will lose 10 energy.

There is some risk involved, but it is worth taking the chance if your character needs to train. Conditions will not affect races so you do not need to remove them at the end of the Career.

Tazuna SSR Support Card Will Cure Conditions

Tazuna Hayakawa (Tracen Reception) ImageTazuna Hayakawa (Tracen Reception)

The SSR Support Card of Tazuna Hayakawa has two events that will remove a bad condition: the second and fourth events in her list.

Though when the chain of events will start is random, you can expect it to happen once the first event shows up. You can save a trip to the Infirmary when her Support Card events are on-going.

Shrine Event Could Remove Bad Conditions

Shrine Recreation Event could cure bad conditions

When a Trainee does Recreation, there is 1 in 3 or 33% chance that they will visit the shrine. In that event, there is a small chance that a bad condition can be removed.

This is not a recommended way to remove a bad condition, but it is an additional effect that could happen.

Most Good Conditions Can Not Be Removed

Good Conditions will last throughout the the character's Career. Try to get them in the Junior or Classic Year to maximize their benefits.

However, some events can remove good condtions. For example, Practice Perfect ◯ can be replaced by Practice Poor.

Condition Details

Support Card Events
┗"Warmth, Love, and Lunch" (Top Choice, Guaranteed Bonus) ┗"Wonderful ☆ Mistake!" (Bottom Choice, Guaranteed Bonus)

This condition will increase your Friendship Bond gain with Support Cards by +2. This is strong during the Junior Year and the early months of the Classic Year because you need to unlock Friendship Training before Summer Camp.

When its available in one of your event choices during those times, get it immediately.

How to Get Fast Learner

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it after Training or racing
Character-specific Trainee Events

Best Skills Tier List

How to Get Hot Topic

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it after Training or racing
Character-specific Trainee Events
┗"Guidepost" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Theory, the Greatest Weapon" (Bottom Choice, Random Bonus)
┗"Looking Good" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Tug of War Tournament!" (Any Choice, Random Bonus)
┗"My Rival, No Matter the Stage" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Refreshingly Real" (Any Choice, Random Bonus)
┗"Who to Count On" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Better Than a Plushie" (Any Choice, Random Bonus)
Support Card Events
┗"Encounter With the Sun ☆" (Bottom Choice, Random Bonus) -

Hot Topic is like Charming, but only raises Friendship Bond gain with Director Akikawa and Etsuko Otanashi, the reporter.

This condition is only useful for nearly maxing Director Akikawa's bond to upgrade your Trainee's Unique Skill. Just like Charming, it is most useful during the first half of a Career.

How to Increase Unique Skill Level

How to Get Practice Perfect ◯

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Obtained in Master Trainer event
・Small chance of obtaining it after picking yellow dialogue choice in Failed Training event
Character-specific Trainee Events
┗"Theory, the Greatest Weapon" (Bottom Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Curren's Signature Racewear" (Any Choice, Random Bonus)
┗"Manners Are Common Sense" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Elegance" (Any Choice, Random Bonus)
┗"I'm Never Giving Up!" (Any Choice, Random Bonus) ┗"Hot and Cool" (Any Choice, Random Bonus)
┗"Making of a Friend" (Top Choice, Random Bonus)
Support Card Events
┗"Lovely Training Weather ♪" (Bottom Choice, Guaranteed Bonus) ┗"Ah, Home Sweet Home" (Bottom Choice, Random Bonus)

Practice Perfect will decrease Training Failure rate by 2%. Though the bonus is little, this is a useful condition that should be gained when available.

Will Be Replaced by Practice Poor and Vice Versa

Its opposite condition, Practice Poor, will increase the Training Failure rate by 2%. If your Trainee gains Practice Poor while they have Practice Perfect ◯, it will be replaced.

Likewise, a Trainee can replace Practice Poor with Practice Perfect ◯. This is incredibly useful if your Trainee or Support Card has an event that can give you the condition.

How to Get Migraine

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it via Migraine Blues event after Training

A Trainee with Migraine will cannot have their mood raised. The only exception is when you use an Alarm Clock to re-do a race.

Head to the Infirmary immediately. Mood is a factor for training and races, so you need it to be Great throughout your Career.

Recreation Guide: How to Improve Mood

How to Get Night Owl

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it via Sleep Deprived event after using Rest

In the Sleep Deprived event, a Trainee can receive the Night Owl condition. This will make them randomly lose -10 energy, and sometimes mood, after a turn.

Since it will not always activate, you could keep this condition for a few turns if you need to train. However, you should go to the Infirmary when you can, since it will disrupt your Training overtime.

How to Get Practice Poor

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it from any dialogue choice in Training Failure event

Practice Poor is the opposite of Practice Perfect ◯ as it increases a Trainee's Training Failure rate by 2%. There will always be a chance to receive after failing a training session.

As mentioned in a previous section, it will replace Practice Perfect ◯ in your Trainee's Condition list. Likewise, it can also be replaced by gaining Practice Perfect ◯. Either way, if there is not any Friendship Training, you should head to the Infirmary.

How to Get Skin Outbreak

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it after doing three races in a row

A Skin Outbreak will make a Trainee randomly lose one stage of Mood. This has a chance to happen after every turn.

Unlike Night Owl, you should use the Infirmary right away because Mood is a factor in training and races.

How to Get Slacker

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Small chance of obtaining it after doing training
Character-specific Trainee Events
┗"This One's For Keeps!" (Bottom Choice, Guaranteed Effect if Failed)

Slacker will give a chance for your Trainee to not show up for training and waste a turn. Cure this condition as soon as you can through the Infirmary or random events.

How to Get Slow Metabolism

Trainee Events (All Characters)
・Random chance to obtain it when choosing Bottom Choice for Trainee Events related to eating

All characters have a Trainee event where they can withhold eating a large amount of food (Top Choice) or eat it anyways (Bottom Choice). The Bottom Choice will give + 30 Energy, - 5 Speed, + 5 Power, 10 Skills Points, and a chance to gain Slow Metabolism.

The condition will prevent any Speed gains from Speed training. However, you can still gain it from events.

Use the Infirmary when you can because Speed is the most important stat in the game. It also has a chance to be cured after successful training.

How to Cure Shining Brightly / Under the Weather

Character-specific Trainee Events
┗ Obtained after Sumire Stakes (Guaranteed Effect)
┗ Cured by finishing at least third in the Kikuka Sho (Under the Weather is replaced by Shining Brightly)

These two conditions are unique to Super Creek's URA Finale Career. Shining Brightly and Under the Weather will increase or decrease Super Creek's Training Failure rate by 5%. You cannot cure Under the Weather until you gain Shining Brightly by completing her Kikuka Sho Goal race.

When you have to train with Under the Weather, avoid risky training options and keep your energy high.

How to Cure Not Ready

Character-specific Trainee Events
┗ Obtained after Debut Race (Guaranteed Effect)
┗ Cured by finishing her 3rd career goal (15,000 Fans)

Meisho Doto's Not Ready condition is unique to her career and is obtained as soon as you finish the Debut Race. She has a chance to get -5 Energy after every race, and this condition persists until she completes her 3rd career goal.

This condition isn't too bad for Meisho Doto if you can manage your energy just right. You can optimize around it by only taking the relevant G1 or G2 races, then minimizing races until the point where she is cured.
