What is Team Trials (TT)?

WARNING

This guide is outdated and will be fully updated soon.

Team Trials is a PvP game mode where teams of Umamusume compete in 5 different racing distances (Sprint, Mile, Medium, Long, and Dirt) to achieve the highest Score possible.

When first playing TT, only 1 slot is unlocked for each distance.

The second row of slots is unlocked when reaching Class 2, and the third row in Class 3.

Promotion Line is the cutoff for being promoted to the next Class.

Retention Line is the cutoff for staying in your current Class.

Current Meta Team Trials Umas

The most important factor to consider for Team Trial Umas is whether they have a reliable Unique activation condition. Additionally, good Stat Growths and recovery Uniques allow Umas to allocate stats elsewhere and race more to afford more skills.

How does scoring work in Team Trials?

Scores in Team Trials consist of a Base Score, supplemented by various additive bonuses & multipliers.

Base Score

Example of an Uma’s Score Details post-Team Trials run. Each source of points has a Base Score, which then gets multiplied by the Ace, Opponent Rating, and Support Bonuses.

Beat Target Time

Every Track in Team Trials has a predetermined Reference Time.

By beating this Reference Time, we can get additional Points.

100 Points are awarded for every 0.1 seconds faster than the reference time, capped at 2000 Points.

1st to 2nd Place difference

If our Uma wins the race, we will get a point bonus based on how close the race was. Races that are either very close or won in a dominant fashion get the most points.

Good Positioning

Each running style included on your team can get a Good Positioning Bonus during early, mid, and late-race, which all give 1000 Points each. This is a potential 3000 Points per Uma, which is why it is important to diversify our team’s running styles!

Strong Start

If an Uma has a strong start, she will be awarded 1000 Points. Having either the Focus or Concentration skill greatly increases the chance of getting this bonus.

Long Shot

Umas at 8th Favorite or below that place 3rd or better will receive a bonus of 4000 Points.

Rushed

There is a 500 base Points penalty, along with 100 additional Points for every 0.1 seconds spent in the Rushed state.

Score Multipliers

Every base score listed above gets modified by an additive percentage from all sources listed below.

Winstreak Bonus

Every additional race won in a row provides a Winstreak Bonus.

  • 2 Streak Bonus = 2%
  • 3 Streak Bonus = 3%
  • 4 Streak Bonus = 4%
  • 5 Streak Bonus = 5%

Opponent Rating Bonus

The biggest boost to our total will be the Opponent Rating Bonus, which is determined by the relative strength of our opponents. The formula for this bonus is:

OpponentRatingBonus=RatingoppRatingown+(200,000Ratingopp)

For example, if our Team Rating is 220,000 and our Base Score is 3000:

  1. If we choose the Top Option, with Opponent Team Rating = 230,000
200,000 - 230,000 + 220,000 = 190,000
230,000 ÷ 190,000 = 1.21 multiplier

Score = 3000 * 1.21 = 3630 pts
  1. If we choose the Middle Option, with Opponent Team Rating = 220,000
200,000 - 230,000 + 220,000 = 190,000
220,000 ÷ 190,000 = 1.1 multiplier

Score = 3000 * 1.1 = 3300 pts

This is why the top option should always be picked when playing Team Trials.

Team Building

When choosing your Team Trials Umas, make sure to consider:

  1. Using different running styles within each distance team. Overlapping styles makes you miss out on the Good Positioning Bonus, which is 3000 base score per Uma.

  2. Umas with consistent Unique activation conditions take priority. Umas such as Mejiro Ryan with strict place conditions are suboptimal for Team Trials.

Since Umas score more for placing well, they should be racing distances and tracks that fit their Aptitudes. Raising an Uma’s aptitude increases the Team Rating, which raises Opponents’ for a higher Opponent Rating Bonus. For example, it is beneficial to use pink Sparks to bring an Uma’s B Dirt aptitude to A.

Meeting Stamina Requirements

A vital part of scoring well in Team Trials is meeting the Stamina requirements in longer distances by using Umas with recovery Unique Skills. Umas like Super Creek and Agnes Tachyon can invest less into Stamina, allowing you to not use a Stamina card and spend less turns Stamina training.

Determining your Aces

As previously mentioned, the Ace Uma will receive a 10% Score bonus. Therefore, our highest scoring Uma should be set as the Ace. We can determine our highest scoring Uma as follows:

  1. Click on the “Race History” button on the Team Trials page
Race History button on the Team Trials page.

Race History button on the Team Trials page.

  1. Go to “Score Info”, note down each of our Umas score performance and average it out across a large sample size. Remember to deduct 10% from the scores of your current Ace.

On the other hand, our Aces are also the Umas that appear on our banner when another player encounters us. We can simply set our favorite Umas as Aces to display on our banner.

Deckbuilding

Building a deck for Team Trials is slightly different from deck building for other content, since you need to prioritize the quantity of Skill Activations over quality. Support Cards that provide cheap, consistent gold Skills are often prevalent in Team Trials decks.

Deck Compositions

The general deck composition are 2-3 cards, palRiko Kashimoto and Wit or Race Bonus cards as required.
