Character's Stats and Unique Skill
The more stars a character has, the stronger their initial stats and Unique skill are.
Additionally, when a character has 3★, their Unique Skill will be vastly improved. They may also give their Unique Skill to Trainees, as a Veteran Umamusume, through Sparks.

| ★★★★★ | 300 |
| Max Star Level | Total: 650 |
To unlock another Star for a character, you need to spend their respective Star Pieces.
These are also the same amount of Star Pieces needed to unlock a character. For example, you can unlock a 2-Star by spending 50 of her Star Pieces. For 1-Star Characters, you only need 25 Star Pieces.
