What Are Skill Points in Uma Musume?
Skill Points (SP) are the currency used to purchase and upgrade race skills for your Uma Musume. Skills activate during races to boost speed, recover stamina, improve positioning, or trigger special effects. Managing your SP budget wisely is as important as building high stats.
How SP Is Earned
SP is generated through:
Wisdom training generates the most SP per turn. Support cards with SP Bonus skills (like those from certain SSR Wisdom cards) significantly amplify SP generation.
Skill Tiers and Costs
Skills are organized by rarity and effect strength:
Typical total skill budget for a complete build: 1,500–3,000 SP depending on skill combination.
How the Skill Point Calculator Works
The Skill Point Calculator helps you: 1. Plan your total SP budget — how much SP to target in a training run 2. Prioritize skills — compare SP cost vs. race impact 3. Project remaining SP — after buying core skills, how much remains for secondary picks
Inputs
Example Budget
Building a Middle-Distance Speed runner: - Gold speed skill: 250 SP - Gold acceleration skill: 300 SP - Stamina recovery skill: 200 SP - Running position skill: 150 SP - Scenario bonus skill: 500 SP - Total target: 1,400 SP
With an average 5 SP per training turn over 36 turns = ~180 base SP + races + events = typically 400–600 total SP generated. A Wisdom-heavy support setup doubles or triples this.
Skill Priority by Race Type
Inherited Skills
Skills can also be inherited from parent Uma Musume during Succession (breeding). Inherited skills cost SP at a reduced rate and can add additional slots beyond what's available in a single training run. The Skill Point Calculator can factor in inherited skills when planning your total SP needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many SP can I expect to earn in one Uma Musume training run?
- In a typical training run without Wisdom-focused support cards, expect 400–700 SP total from training, races, and events. With Wisdom-specialized support cards carrying SP Bonus effects, this can increase to 900–1,500+ SP. The Skill Point Calculator uses your expected SP per turn (based on support cards) multiplied by available training turns to project your total budget.
- Which skills are the highest priority to buy in Uma Musume?
- Gold-tier and Unique skills specific to your Uma Musume's running style and race distance are highest priority. For Speed runners: gold-tier speed boost and acceleration skills. For stamina-dependent long-distance runners: stamina recovery and conservation skills. Scenario-locked skills from specific training scenarios offer excellent power but are only available in certain runs. Always buy skills that directly support your running style and distance before general-purpose ones.
- What is the difference between SP and Skill Points in Uma Musume?
- SP (Skill Points) are earned and spent during a single training run — they cannot be saved across different Uma Musume. Each training session starts with 0 SP, and SP earned during that run is used to purchase skills before the run ends. There is no global SP pool. The Skill Point Calculator projects SP generation for one complete training run based on your support deck and training strategy.
- How do inherited skills affect SP costs in Uma Musume?
- During Succession (breeding), you can select skills from parent Uma Musume to inherit. Inherited skills become available to purchase at a reduced SP cost (typically 60–80% of the normal cost) during the child's training run. High-value gold or unique skills from parents are worth inheriting when you can — they reduce total SP required for your build. Plan your skill budget accounting for any inherited skills before your training run begins.
