Umamusume Pretty Derby — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Curated from GameTora, r/UmaMusume and other community-trusted sources; updated 4 July 2025.
1. How do I reroll efficiently in the Global version?
Reddit trainers recommend finishing the tutorial once, pulling the Support Card gacha, and—if you miss a top-tier card such as Fine Motion (FM) or Stunning Vision—deleting account data from the in-game Menu to restart without reinstalling. Most players average 3 minutes per cycle.
2. Which Support Cards are worth rerolling for?
Consensus tier lists put Fine Motion SSR, Kita San Black SSR, and Biko Pegasus SSR at the top because they combine high Friendship Bonus with Specialty Rate Up, making every Training guide run stat-dense. Limit-broken SRs like Seiun Sky SR remain viable if you cannot spark an SSR early.
3. Does Umamusume have a spark / pity system?
Yes. Accumulate 200 pulls on a single banner to "spark" and exchange those points for any featured unit. Sparks do not carry between banners, so plan your Jewels around a full 200-pull cycle.
4. When do Daily Missions reset on the Global server, and what's the fastest way to clear them?
Reset time: 00:00 JST (15:00 UTC / 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT / 23:00 SGT) — set a phone alarm if you want to double-dip dailies across time-zones.
Five quickest clears after reset:
- Win one Career race (×100 Mana)
- Enter one Daily Race (×300 Mana)
- Clear three Daily Races total (×500 Mana)
- Play one Team Trial (×1 Support Pt Ticket)
- Finish one full Career run (×10 Jewels)
Veteran players recommend doing the Team Trial first—its auto-battle mode finishes while you set up Daily Races, shaving 2-3 minutes off the routine.
5. How can I farm Jewels as a Free-to-Play trainer?
Stack the one-time rewards first: Story chapters, Main Missions and Tutorial trophies. After that, focus on PvP Team Stadium, limited-time events and Daily Missions, which Reddit users report as the highest sustainable F2P income streams.
6. Are SR Support Cards ever better than SSRs?
A max-limit-broken SR provides more bond gain and higher raw stats than a level-1 SSR. Use SRs until you can invest shards or sparks into key SSRs.
7. What is the beginner-friendly Training deck template?
Veteran players suggest 2 Speed / 2 Stamina / 1 Wisdom + 1 Friend (healer) for consistent U-Rank clears; alternate builds use 3 Speed + 2 Wisdom for short-distance runners.
8. How does Friendship Training (rainbow) work?
When a Support's bond gauge turns orange (~80%), that card can trigger a rainbow-outlined Training, adding ~50-80 stats in one click. Prioritise rooms with multiple rainbow icons for explosive gains.
9. Why do my Support Cards appear in the "wrong" facility?
Specialty Rate Up only increases—not locks—the chance a card spawns in its own room. A Speed card can still show up in Pool if its specialty roll fails. Stack cards with high Specialty Rate to reduce off-stat spawns.
10. How do Main Missions unlock extra Team slots and Story chapters?
Main Missions award slots, Jewels and Story Keys for clearing milestones like "Train three different Umamusume to B-Rank" or "Win 3 G-I races." Completing older scenarios for these mission gems is still the fastest route according to long-time JP players.
11. Can I buy Jewels overseas?
The mobile client blocks most non-Japan credit cards, but players create a DMM account, purchase DMM Points via PayPal, then convert to Jewels in the PC client.
12. What happens if I miss clearing an Event Mission?
Limited missions disappear at event end; unclaimed rewards are lost. Always check the "Event" tab first and prioritise tasks like "Enter 10 event races" before focusing on long-term goals.
