The Infirmary is a special recovery option in the training menu. But it doesn’t always appear. It only lights up when your Umamusume is suffering from a negative status condition, such as an injury or behavioral debuff.
If everything is fine, the Infirmary icon remains grayed out and unavailable.
But the moment something goes wrong — a failed rest, injury from overtraining, or a nasty random event — you’ll be able to use it.
How to Use the Infirmary in Umamusume
Once your Uma gets a debuff, here’s how you send her to the Infirmary:
-
Open the Training Menu.
-
If the Infirmary is active, select it — this will consume your current turn.
-
The game will try to remove the condition.
-
She will also recover some energy, even if the debuff isn't cleared right away.
Sometimes one visit is enough, but in tougher cases, you might need to send her back multiple times. It’s still far better than trying to train through the condition — doing that will cripple your stat growth and can ruin your entire run.
Debuffs You Should Never Ignore
Some negative conditions are more harmful than others. These three debuffs are particularly devastating and demand an immediate Infirmary visit:
Slow Metabolism
This condition kills all Speed gains, making your training sessions nearly worthless. Since Speed is one of the most crucial stats in the game, fix this ASAP.
Slacker
She’ll start skipping training sessions even when you select them. It's random and frustrating, and often takes more than one Infirmary visit to cure.
Non-Distance Compatibility
This messes with your race performance on tracks that don’t match your Uma’s preferred race distance. It might go unnoticed until it costs you a race.
Important Tips for Infirmary Use
- Don’t confuse low energy with a condition — if she’s just tired, use a regular Rest, not the Infirmary.
- Conditions do NOT heal on their own — you must actively use the Infirmary to remove them.
- Don’t delay. Waiting can cost you valuable turns and ruin your stat curve.
How to Avoid Getting Injured or Debuffed
Prevention is better than cure. Here are a few tips to reduce the need for Infirmary visits:
- Avoid back-to-back intense training without resting.
- Monitor fatigue levels closely and rest before pushing limits.
- Use support cards that reduce injury chances or boost healing.
- Pay attention to event choices — some decisions can trigger debuffs if chosen incorrectly.
The Infirmary may not seem important at first, but once you're deep into a training cycle, one bad condition can derail everything. The key to long-term success in Umamusume: Pretty Derby is knowing when to heal and when to push forward.
Don’t try to power through when your Uma is clearly struggling. A smart recovery can save your entire run. So keep an eye on those status icons — and never ignore that Infirmary light when it starts glowing.
