With her natural stamina and late-surging running style, she thrives in grueling races, but only if trained smartly. Here\u2019s a crisp, no-fluff guide to build Mayano Top Gun the right way and get her championship-ready.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Understand Her Strengths<\/p>\n<p>Mayano Top Gun is a Late Surger with a +20% bonus in Stamina. That already puts her in a great position for endurance races like Tenno Sho (Spring) and Arima Kinen. But she lacks innate Speed or Power bonuses, which means you\u2019ll need to build those up manually. In other words, don\u2019t treat her like a tank; she needs finesse.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Target Stat Goals<\/p>\n<p>Keep these numbers in mind for optimal performance in 3000m+ races:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>: 1100+<\/li>\n<li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 1000+<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stamina<\/strong>: 900\u20131000<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wit &amp; Guts<\/strong>: 300\u2013400 (enough to unlock key passive skills)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pro tip: If you\u2019re aiming for URA Finals or mid-distance events too, shift ~100 points from Stamina to Speed.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Build Your Support Deck<\/p>\n<p>Go with a 2 Speed \/ 2 Power \/ 1 Stamina \/ 1 Friend setup for balance. If you\u2019re confident in your friend card&#8217;s recovery boosts, you can swap the Power\/Stamina ratio depending on race distance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alternative loadout<\/strong>: 3 Speed \/ 1 Stamina \/ 1 Power \/ 1 Guts \u2013 this is riskier but works well with strong Rainbow synergy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Focus on cards with Friendship Bonus and Training Efficiency, especially those that buff Speed or Power alongside events that grant recovery or acceleration skills.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Optimize Your Training Path<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Early Game (Year 1)<\/strong>: Maximize bond levels. Don\u2019t rest unless her condition is downright awful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mid Game<\/strong>: Use Summer Camp to push Speed and Power hard. Start entering G2\/G3 races to rack up fans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Late Game<\/strong>: Hit 60,000 fans by February Year 3 to unlock her awakening. Don\u2019t skip races and mix in wins with training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Track stamina loss. Overtraining kills her late-race burst, so let Friend cards handle recovery while you focus on key stats.<\/p>\n<p>Umamusume Run #12: Mayano Top Gun<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Skill Priority<\/p>\n<p>You want stamina recovery, lane stability, and final-stretch acceleration. Prioritize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Homestretch Haste<\/li>\n<li>Gourmand<\/li>\n<li>Go with the Flow<\/li>\n<li>Swinging Maestro<\/li>\n<li>Straightaway Acceleration<\/li>\n<li>Professor of Curvature (for long curves like Arima)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t chase flashy golds and stick with what triggers reliably for her Late Surger style.She\u2019s not an early leader. Avoid sprint races and tightly packed short courses. Aim for open tracks with long final stretches. With the right training curve, smart support deck, and race-aligned skills, Mayano Top Gun won\u2019t just run; she\u2019ll fly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re planning to turn Mayano Top Gun into a long-distance monster in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you can\u2019t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275160,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4107],"tags":[104050,104053,104051,104052,1071,79,16,96652,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-275159","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-racing","8":"tag-mayano-top-gun","9":"tag-mayano-top-gun-best-build","10":"tag-mayano-top-gun-build-umamusume-pretty-derby","11":"tag-mayano-top-gun-skills","12":"tag-racing","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-umamusume-pretty-derby","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114880854378247344","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
