Tokai Teio Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby
Written by Priya Kapoor
Tokai Teio works best as a Leader in Medium and Long races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. She needs strong Speed and Stamina with just enough Wit and Power to keep her balanced. If you train her smart and keep her mood high, she can consistently reach and win the URA Finals.
Stat Priorities
Speed
This should be your highest stat. Aim for 700+ by endgame.
Stamina
Target 500+ for Medium races and 600+ for Long races. Use recovery skills if your stamina is lower.
Power
Keep Power around 500. It helps with her final push and keeps pace steady through turns.
Wit
Definitely go for 400+. Wit boosts skill activation and pacing control.
Guts
SKIP! Unless using Guts-focused inheritance. It's not needed for most Teio builds.
Best Support Cards for Tokai Teio
3 Speed Cards
Use reliable Speed cards with early bond and Medium-distance skill hints.
2 Stamina Cards
Super Creek is the best option here. Use her for recovery skills and stable gains.
1 Power or Wit Card
Use Power for extra stat balance or Wit for skill uptime and stamina efficiency.
Training Strategy
Speed First
Keep Speed ahead of your other stats. Always prioritize Speed drills with 2 or more supports.
Balance Stamina and Power
If Teio starts to fall behind in the second half of races, train Stamina or use a recovery skill. Power can be trained alongside when multi-support drills appear.
Build Bonds Early
Start by training every support card at least once. Early bond unlocks lead to stronger drills later.
Use Recovery Wisely
Don’t over-rest. Use Recreation or Wit drills when she’s low on stamina but not fully drained.
Watch Race Predictions
If you’re predicted to lose, skip the race and train more. URA runs reward smart pacing, not rushing.
Best Skills for Tokai Teio
Leader and Pacing Skills
Take any skill that helps her stay in front or maintain pace in the middle.
Recovery
Runner’s High or Arc Maestro help a lot in Long races. Recovery lets you drop Stamina slightly.
Corner and Mid-Race Boosts
Skills that trigger in the middle of the race are safer and more reliable than last-minute bursts.
Wit-Synced Skills
Wit improves skill success. Training it helps with consistency late in the race.
Race Style Tips
Tokai Teio is best as a Leader. Raise her Leader aptitude to A with inheritance. Her story has both Medium and Long races, so plan for both. Medium builds need less Stamina, but Long races will punish low stamina without a recovery skill.
Good legacy choices include:
Special Week
Super Creek
Mejiro McQueen
Avoid Chaser or Sprinter legacies. They don’t match her pacing or skill triggers.
Final Blurb
Tokai Teio needs a smart balance of Speed, Stamina, and Power. Stick with Leader style, train friendship early, and focus on clean mid-race pacing. Once she’s set up, she can finish most URA Finals without rewinds or luck.
She’s consistent when built right.
TL;DR
Build her as a Leader with A-rank aptitude
Use 3 Speed, 2 Stamina, and 1 Power or Wit card
