Taurus Cup Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) Build

Umamusume AttentionAttention! This is a character build for the Taurus Cup Champions Meeting.
This guide may be updated as we think of up more strategies for CM! Stay tuned!

Taurus Cup Oguri Cap Stats and Training

General Stat Recommendations
Speed
1100+
Stamina
900+
Power
800+
Guts
300+
Wit
400+
Recommended Training Grade: A+ or better
Note that the above stats can apply to the Graded League. You can relax your stats a bit more for Open League, but we always recommend you prioritize enough Stamina.

It is recommended to build Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) as a Pace Chaser, a running style that has access to the strong recovery skill Gourmand. In the Taurus Cup Champions Meeting, she will often serve as the Ace of your team that is capable of holding the lead or challenging racers towards the front.

It's imperative that you build her with enough Stamina in anticipation of Debuffers that can cut her Stamina down as much as 20%.

Above are some teammates that can be suggested for Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) in Champions Meeting since they can fill in other roles that can support her (ex. Gold Ship as the second carry and Nice Nature as a debuffer). You can still excel with other Umamusume should the above be unavailable.

Stamina Building with Recovery Skills

Recovery Skills Stamina
(Pace Chaser)
✕ Gold 1000
1 Gold 900
2 Gold 800

Pace Chasers are expected to consume the most stamina over every other running style, so make sure to build as much Stamina as you can and pick up Gold Recovery skills on the way during training.

Recovery Skill Effects

Skill Rarity Effect per Skill
Recovery Gold Recovery Skill

ex. Swinging Maestro
Recovers approximately 180~200 Stamina.
Recovery White Recovery Skill

ex. Corner Recovery ◯
Recovers approximately 50~60 Stamina.

The values above represent their effectiveness in a general sense. Different recovery skill effects and behaviors will vary.

When aiming for maximum Speed and Power while having high Wit, it's expected that building high Stamina (especially more than 1000) in this scenario is a tall order.

This why it is recommended to supplement Stamina with Recovery Skills since they serve as efficient options to have if you cannot build enough stamina. Having them will also help pad your stamina against debuff skills.

Taurus Cup Training Deck Setups

Deck Setups Strong Options
Speed 3 Stamina 3

Speed 4 Stamina 2
Speed 3 Power 3
Speed 3 Stamina 2 Wit 1
ⓘ Above are the recommended deck setups and support cards. You do not have to confine yourself to these setups, so we encourage you experiment with different cards while there is still time for the Champions Meeting.

The recommended deck setups for Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) are decks that can build Stamina, mainly Speed-Stamina and Speed Power. Stamina is not an easy stat to build, so we recommend going for those setups at the upper side of the table.

Having a Wit card is even an option if you wish take advantage of strong skills from the likes of Agnes Tachyon (Experimental Studies on Subject A). We still recommend at least one Stamina in this case.

Alternatively, a Pal card, notably Tazuna Hayakawa (Tracen Reception), may also be suggested if you know how to use her recovery events and skill acquisition from certain events (such as Tail Held High).

Taurus Cup Oguri Cap Build Sparks

Recommended

(Green)
Blue Star SparkStats
9★ Stamina
9★ Power
Or 18★ Stamina
Pink SparkAptitude
3★ Medium
3★ Turf

For Oguri Cap's spark legacies, we highly recommend you try to secure Red Shift/LP1211-M from Maruzensky (Formula R) and Shooting for Victory! from Taiki Shuttle.

Maximize your Stamina Sparks as much as you can to ensure you can build enough Stamina for your Oguri Cap during her career. For aptitude, we recommend you prioritize 3★ Medium then 3★ Turf to get more speed and power. You can also go with 3★ Pace Chaser if there is still space, otherwise, go with those 2 pink sparks.
