Try to use a veteran Uma with a 3-star attribute spark as your primary Legacy pick. This gives your trainee a decent stat boost right from the start. For the second Legacy, you can borrow one from a friend or grab one from community hubs like Discord, where players often share account IDs


Best skills

No matter the running style, every Uma benefits from three things:

  • a Stamina-recovery skill
