What Are Debuff Skills?

Applies Negative Effects to Rival Racers

Debuff skills have red-colored icons and typically inflict harmful effects on enemy racers. These varry from decreasing their Speed, Stamina, field of view, and other special effects.

Speed-Down Effects are Good

Debuff Skills that decreases velocity are generally good and a consistent way to hinder enemy racers.

Increasing Fatigue Can Be Deadly

Stamina-down, or debuff skills that increases fatigue, when used to completely drain an unprepared racer's stamina, can completely ruin their run as they lose all momentum for the rest of the race. Racers with high stamina or with Recovery Skills, however, will mostly be unaffected much by these.

Does Not Affect Self and Allies

Debuff skills do not affect the Umamusume that triggered the skill and nor her allies. This makes them an effective way to indirectly boost a teammate's performance by inflicting debuffs on rival Umamusume.

Best Used in Team Races

Debuff skills do not affect the racer's allies in a team race such as Team Trials or the Champions Meeting. This makes Umamusumes stacked with as much Debuff Skills and Wit a crucial part of your teams.
