Umamusume Pretty Derby support card tier list

In the usual fashion, we divided our list into five sections, going from S+ to C. Keep in mind, though, that since all cards offer a long list of effects, we won't be going over each of them in detail here. It's also important to point out that, since not everyone has the means to max out cards, all of the below are ranked based on their performances while uncapped. You can check out our Umamusume Pretty Derby support card tier list below, starting with the show stoppers.

S+ Tier, Explained

In the S+Tier, you can find the game's meta-defining cards, known for pairing massive stat, training, and Friendship boosts with some of the game's best overall or build-specific skills, many of which are unique or likely to unlock. True to that and as you can see below, all of the cards here are SSRs, with [Piece of Mind] Super Creek, [Wild Rider] Vodka, [Eat Fast! Yum Fast] Sakura Bakushin O, and [Double Carrot Punch] Biko Pegasus being absolute highlights.

• [Piece of Mind] Super Creek (SSR)
• [Eat Fast! Yum Fast] Sakura Bakushin O (SSR)
• [Wave of Gratitude] Fine Motion (SSR)
• [Turbo Boost] Twin Turbo (SSR)
• [Wild Rider] Vodka (SSR)
• [Even the Littlest Bloom] Nishino Flower (SSR)
• [Beyond This Shining Moment] Silence Suzuka (SSR)
• [Double Carrot Punch] Biko Pegasus (SSR)
• [Get Lots of Hugs For Me] Oguri Cap (SSR)
• [Dream Big] Tokai Teio (SSR)
• [Run(my)way] Gold City (SSR)

S-Tier, Explained

The S-Tier features all of the support cards that, although able to offer just as much as the above stat-wise, cannot be used as foundations due to either a lack of impactful event skills or a less focused selection altogether. In other words, when using some of them in your run, RNG will play an even bigger part in your success.

• [Watch My Star Fly!] Ines Fujin (SSR)
• [Champion's Passion] El Condor Pasa (SSR)
• [Urara's Day Off] Haru Urara (SSR)
• [Fairest Fleur] Grass Wonder (SSR)
• [Foolproof Plan] Seiun Sky (SSR)
• [Split the Sky, White Lightning!] Tamano Cross (SSR)
• [Reach The Top] Hishi Amazon (SR)
• [Trainer's Teamwork] Aoi Kiryuin (SR)
• [Cute + Cute = ?] Mayano Top Gun (SR)
• [5:00 a.m.—Right on Schedule] Eishin Flash (SR)
• [Experimental Studies on Subject A] Agnes Tachyon (SR)

A-Tier, Explained

In the A-tier, we have cards that have a harder time shining via their broader selection of skills, which usually pair some great picks with a few not-as-welcome finds. Examples of that can be seen in three of the game's free SSR cards, aka [Showered in Joy] Rice Shower, [The Setting Sun and Rising Stars] Special Week, and [Your Team Ace] Mejiro Macqueen.

• [BNWinner!] Winning Ticket (SSR)
• [The Setting Sun and Rising Stars] Special Week (SSR)
• [My Umadol Way! ☆] Smart Falcon (SSR)
• [Showered in Joy] Rice Shower (SSR)
• [Seven More Centimeters] Air Shakur (SSR)
• [Your Team Ace] Mejiro Macqueen (SSR)
• [Tracen Reception] Tazuna Hayakawa (SSR)
• [Let's Get This Party Lit!] Deitaku Helios (SR)
• [Well, Look Who's Home] Fuji Kiseki (SR)
• [Pal-Assisted Training] Mihono Bourbon (SR)
• [Poolside High Tides] Narita Taishin (SR)
• [Nothing Escapes the Vice Prez] Air Groove (SR)
• [The Brightest Star in Japan!] Special Week (SSR)

B-Tier, Explained

In the B-Tier, we gave cards that, even if capable of rivaling the above on flat stat boosts, fail to offer skills at the same level. Many of them are also known to provide a good number of debuffs or event/climate-specific picks, such as Cloudy Days.

• [City Girl 101] Yukino Bijin (SR)
• [It's Just Water] Nice Nature (SR)
• [A Marvelous ☆ Plan] Marvelous Sunday (SR)
• [Nothing Hard Work Can't Solve] Daiwa Scarlet (SR)
• [My Solo Drawn to Raindrop Drums] Manhattan Cafe (SR)
• [Digital's Recharge Station] Agnes Digital (SR)
• [Trial Initiation] Biwa Hayahide (SR)
• [Ignore the Stares] Mejiro Dober (SR)
• [Fighting for Fortune] Meisho Doto (SR)
• [First Rate Plan] King Halo (SR)
• [On and Off the Court] Mejiro Ryan (SR)
• [Fate's Forecast] Matikanefukukitaru (SR)

C-Tier, Explained

In the C-tier, we have all of the game's Rare [Tracen Academy] cards, most of which offer the same stat packages as their rarer variants when maxed out, all while lacking any kind of unique effects or vital event-related skills. But don't let that scare you; even if not first choices, they can still work well if used as fill-ins for 2-2-2 or 3-3 decks when looking for specific skills. If maxed out, they can also work as excellent SR replacements when using A-rank or above Veteran Umamusume.

Now that you know which are the best support cards in the game, we also highly recommend you check out how the Umamusume Pretty Derby Pity System works.
