Uma Musume New Year’s Resolutions: What Each Choice Gives You

In Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, New Year’s Resolutions is a fixed calendar event with three choices. The first choice gives a character-specific stat increase, the second gives Energy, and the third gives Skill Points. The exact stat from the first choice depends on which Uma Musume you’re training, so don’t assume it’s the same for everyone.

Here’s the full breakdown, plus how to decide which reward actually helps your current run.

What Is the New Year’s Resolutions Event?

New Year’s Resolutions is a fixed event that appears on the training calendar around the New Year. It’s not random and it’s not tied to a support card. When it triggers, your Trainer presents three options, each tied to a different resolution for the year ahead.

The dialogue changes by character, since each Uma Musume reacts to the event in her own way. What matters for gameplay is the reward structure underneath:

• Choice 1 gives a stat increase that varies by character
• Choice 2 gives Energy
• Choice 3 gives Skill Points

You can only pick one. There’s no way to bank the event or trigger it twice in the same career.

What Do the Three Choices Give You?

Choice 1: Character Stat

The first option adds +10 to a specific stat. This is where the event differs from most fixed calendar events, because the stat isn’t fixed across the roster. Speed-leaning characters tend to get Speed, Stamina-leaning characters tend to get Stamina, and so on, but this follows each character’s own event text rather than a universal rule.

Choice 2: Energy

The second option restores +20 Energy in every verified case. This is the safest, most predictable reward if you need to keep training without a rest day.

Choice 3: Skill Points

The third option grants +20 Skill Points in every verified case. Useful if you’re saving up for a specific skill and don’t want to burn a training turn just to farm points.

Why Does the Uma Musume New Year’s Resolutions Stat Change by Character?

Each Uma Musume’s New Year’s Resolutions event is written around her own strengths, and the stat reward follows that theme. A speed-focused runner resolves to improve her Speed. A stamina-focused runner resolves to improve her Stamina. The event is personalized, not generic.

Here are confirmed examples pulled directly from character event data:

This isn’t a complete roster, and you shouldn’t assume every character fits neatly into one of these four buckets. If you’re not sure what your character’s Choice 1 gives, check her own event text in-game before deciding.

Which Choice Should You Pick?

There’s no universally correct answer here. The right pick depends on what your run actually needs at that point in the career. Think of it as three separate situations.

Pick the Stat Boost When

• The stat is central to your current build
• You’re close to a training or race stat threshold where +10 matters
• Energy is already in a comfortable range
• You don’t have an urgent skill purchase planned

Take Energy When

• Your Energy is low and a rest day would waste a good training slot
• A high-value training opportunity is coming up and you want to take it at full Energy
• The run is more limited by recovery than by raw stats right now

Take Skill Points When

• You have a specific skill queued up and are short on points
• The stat from Choice 1 doesn’t meaningfully help your current build
• You’d rather not spend a turn later just to grind Skill Points

New Year’s Resolutions Rewards at a Glance: Stat vs. Energy vs. Skill Points

If you’re mid-run with balanced Energy and no pressing skill needs, the stat boost is usually the option with the most lasting value, since Energy and Skill Points can both be earned other ways during normal training. But if either of those is genuinely tight, taking the safer option is the smarter play.

New Year’s Resolutions vs. New Year’s Shrine Visit

These are two separate fixed events, and it’s easy to mix them up since both appear around the same time of year.

• New Year’s Resolutions offers a stat/Energy/Skill Points choice, with the stat option varying by character.
• New Year’s Shrine Visit is a different event entirely, with its own dialogue and its own reward set.

If you’re looking up choices for one event and the rewards don’t match what you’re seeing in-game, double check which event you’re actually in. Don’t apply New Year’s Resolutions answers to a Shrine Visit prompt, or vice versa.

Uma Musume New Year’s Resolutions Character Lookup by Stat Group

Rather than listing every character’s full dialogue tree, here’s a grouped view based on verified Choice 1 rewards. Use this to spot the pattern for your character even if she isn’t listed by name.

Speed-Focused First Choices

Seiun Sky, Eishin Flash

Stamina-Focused First Choices

Special Week, Manhattan Cafe

Power-Focused First Choices

Hishi Amazon, T.M. Opera O

Guts-Focused First Choices

Haru Urara, Meisho Doto

If your character isn’t in one of these groups, her Choice 1 reward hasn’t been confirmed here. Check her in-game event text directly rather than assuming she follows the same pattern as a similar character.

Matching the Choice to Your Build

Before picking, it helps to run through a quick mental checklist:

• What does my current stat distribution look like? If one stat is already lagging behind your race goals, the stat boost has more value.
• What’s my Energy right now? If you’re below half and a good training option is coming up, Energy protects that turn.
• Do I have a skill purchase planned? If yes and you’re short on points, Skill Points close that gap without sacrificing a training turn.
• What race is next? A stat that directly supports your next race’s aptitude requirements is worth more than a generic bump.

None of these factors override the others automatically. Weigh them against where you are in the career, not just what looks best on paper.
