How to Level Up Unique Skills
Raise Fans and Director Friendship Level
| Event | Time | Prerequisites | |
|---|---|---|
| Turf | Dirt | |
| Valentine's Day Senior Year Early Feb |
60,000 Fans | 40,000 Fans |
| Fan Appreciation Event Senior Year Early Apr |

To level up your character's Unique Skill during their Career, your character needs to have a high amount of fans and a green friendship gauge with Director Akikawa in the Senior Year.
There are different requirements for characters whose initial Track aptitude is the highest. If a character has a higher Dirt aptitude than Turf, or has a Career full of Dirt goal races like Haru Urara, they would need less fans to level up their unique skill. Umamusume who excels in both Turf and Dirt tracks will follow the fan requirements for Turf, such as Agnes Digital
When you meet the conditions on the day of the event, your character's unique skill will be leveled up.
Unity Cup Does Not Have Director Friendship Requirement
It is important to note, however, that increasing your friendship with the Director (in this case, Riko Kashimoto) is not a requirement to leveling up your Unique Skill when running the Unity Cup scenario. As long as you reach the required Fans by Early April of Senior Year, you will level up your Unique Skill.

To level up your trainee's Unique Skill in Trackblazer, increase Director Akikawa's friendship gauge and earn a certain number of fans by the end of every year. Winning your scheduled and Rival races will help you meet these conditions easily.
For Umamusume with aptitudes in both Turf and Dirt tracks, such as Agnes Digital, they will follow the Turf fan requirement when leveling up their Unique Skill.
Increase Director's Friendship through Rival Races and Training
| Training with Director | Director Akikawa's Friendship +7 |
|---|---|
| Win a Rival Race | Director Akikawa's Friendship +5 |
| Extra Training | |
| Use Cat Food item |
Director Akikawa's friendship gauge can be raised by doing certain activities or using an item. While training with the Director provides the highest boost to the friendship gauge, winning Rival Races is also a viable strategy since Trackblazer focuses on running as many races as possible.
It is not recommended to buy the Cat Food item to raise the Director's friendship due to its high cost and low returns.

| Event | Time | "Best Umamusume" Event Conditions |

In addition to leveling up your Unique Skill, you can gain extra stats by being chosen as the Junior/Classic/Senior "Umamusume of the Year" during the Best Umamusume Event in late December of every year.
