Umamusume Pretty Derby Best Support Cards: Current meta

Umamusume Art 3

Support cards are the backbone of any strong Umamusume build. In the current meta, top-tier SSR support cards not only boost base stats but also provide high hint frequency, specialty priority, and gamechanging skill hints that shape how a horse finishes races. Recent tier updates show a handful of SSRs consistently outperforming others when maxed and limit broken, so focus your resources on a few core cards rather than spreading upgrades thin.

Top support cards right now

If you want a quick shortlist to chase or borrow, these names come up across authoritative tier lists as meta staples.

  • Kitasan Black (SSR) – Exceptional training effectiveness, huge friendship and specialty bonuses, plus solid hint frequency. Great all-round lending value.
  • Super Creek (SSR) – One of the best stamina cards for long distance builds. High race bonuses and reliable skill hints make her a top pick.
  • Fine Motion (SSR) – The leading wit card for skill point gain and skill hint utility. Ideal when you need to secure key activation skills.
  • Vodka, Seiun Sky, El Condor Pasa (SSR) – These show up in SS and S tiers for their niche strengths: power and race specific skills that suit late surger or pace chaser strategies. New SSRs like Kawakami Princess are also shifting rankings, so check banner notes before pulling.

Best SRs to use in a budget deck

Not everyone has top SSRs and you can still finish careers with strong SR picks. SRs such as Sweep Tosho for speed, Mayano Top Gun for stamina, and Daitaku Helios for power remain excellent SR staples because of hint reliability and training efficiency. Use SRs smartly until you can MLB your core SSRs.

How to pick support cards for your build

Match cards to race distance and running style. For sprint and mile careers prioritize speed and power cards, for long distance prioritize stamina plus a secondary speed card. For PvP or Team Trials, include debuff or positional skill providers to control race flow. Aim for three speed-oriented cards, one stamina, and one wit as a baseline for most builds.

Quick meta tips

  1. Prioritize MLB or high uncap SSRs for lending value.
  2. Check hint frequency and hint level over raw stat if you need specific gold skills.
  3. Keep an eye on new banners. A single strong new SSR can reshuffle tiers quickly.
