Umamusume Pretty Derby Worst Horse: Current meta.

Umamusume Art 4

Umamusume is a game where character potential often depends on support cards, build path, and the race you are targeting. That means a horse that is “worst” in the current meta is usually one that has low stat ceilings for popular race types, awkward skill kits, or requires rare support cards to reach competitiveness. Recent community and guide tier lists consistently flag the same low performers players should avoid investing scarce resources in.

Why a horse becomes labelled worst in the current meta

There are three common reasons a horse falls to the bottom. First, stat distribution. Some Umamusume have speed or stamina ceilings that are simply hard to push into competitive ranges for popular PvP and URA races. Second, suboptimal skill sets. If a character lacks race defining skills or synergies with common support cards, they struggle even with good stats. Third, training path complexity. Characters who need very specific training events or rarer support cards are less viable for most players. Guides and meta writeups cover these factors when ranking low tier horses.

Top candidates for worst horse in the current meta

Community consensus and recent tier lists repeatedly call out a handful of names. Haru Urara is often listed as a low tier pick due to weak base stats and niche utility, though her popularity and event value keep her relevant to collectors. Mejiro Ryan and Winning Ticket also appear frequently in low ranks, typically because their stat ceilings and skill kits are outclassed by newer releases. Agnes Tachyon surfaces in some lists as well, mainly for being harder to train into meta roles without highly specific builds. These rankings come from a mix of community tier lists and specialist guides that update with each new banner and balance shift.

Can the worst horses be useful

Yes. Umamusume has a strong rent and event ecosystem. A character listed at the bottom of tier lists can still win if paired with optimized support cards or used for niche event rewards. Community players also point out that casual play and story content do not require S tier units to enjoy the game. If you like a character, you can usually make them work for fun runs, challenge events, or fan builds.

Practical advice for players

If you want to avoid wasting resources, follow up to date tier lists before splurging on training mats or support cards. Prioritize support cards and characters that consistently appear in A and S tiers for your target race distance. If you pull a low ranked horse, try renting top support cards or focus them on event specific runs where meta pressure is lower. For community tier updates and build guides check established sources and the latest meta breakdowns.

Final note. Tier lists change often as new characters and cards arrive. Use lists as a guide, not a rule, and remember that with the right support, even underdogs can surprise.
