Discover five of the best Speed Support Cards to include in your deck for Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s Career Mode.
The most significant tools for training characters in Umamusume: Pretty Derby are Support Cards. And among them, Speed Support Cards hold the most importance as they usually make up the majority of a deck.
With so many cards to choose from, it can be difficult to determine the mainstays in your loadout. This article narrows down the best SR and SSR Speed cards in Umamusume: Pretty Derby and explores how they enhance your Career runs.
Note: An MLB (Maximum Limit Break) SR card performs better than an unupgraded or 1LB SSR card.
Umamusume Pretty Derby: Top 5 Speed Support Cards
Each of the following entries begins with the ideal race distance and running style that the card supports for maximum value. However, the cards work great outside of those parameters as well.
5) Sweep Tosho
- Distance: Medium
- Style: End Closer
Sweep Tosho has a few End Closer and debuffing skills which you will not use a majority of the time, so it’s safe to skip her hints altogether. However, the real reason to pick Sweep Tosho is to rapidly increase Friendship Bond levels with all your Support Cards.
Pick the bottom option during the ‘Wonderful Mistake!’ event to gain the Charming condition. Charming allows you to build Friendship Bonds much faster while training with Support Cards, which is critical to unlock Friendship Training quickly. Sweep also has a few generally helpful skills: ‘Lone Wolf,’ ‘Prudent Positioning,’ and ‘Murmur.’
4) Nishino Flower
- Distance: Sprint and Mile
- Style: Pace Chaser
Nishino Flower offers a few nifty skills for all categories and styles, and also provides the Charming condition through an event. Pick the top option in the ‘Warmth, Love, and Lunch’ event to receive it.
Having both Sweep Tosho and Nishino Flower in your deck will increase the chances of getting Charming early, significantly fast-tracking Friendship Training progress. Notable skills include ‘Standard Distance,’ ‘Firm Conditions,’ and ‘Beeline Burst.’
3) Sakura Bakushin O
- Distance: Sprint
- Style: Front Runner and Pace Chaser
Sakura Bakushin O mainly focuses on providing skills for Sprint races. However, you’ll still want to pick her because of the 10% Race Bonus she offers at MLB. Race bonus increases the stats and skill points earned after every race by the given amount.
Raising Race Bonus with multiple cards essentially gives you free stat and skill point increases without spending any energy. Try raising the total Race Bonus to 35% using multiple cards to hit the sweet spot and gain the most out of winning races.
2) Special Week
- Distance: Long
- Style: Pace Chaser and Late Surger
At MLB, Special Week also grants a 10% Race Bonus overall alongside a 35% Friendship Bonus. The main downside to the card is a low Initial Friendship gauge bonus, but it can be covered up quickly if you are using the Charmed condition. Special Week also features some valuable skills, including ‘Homestretch Haste,’ ‘Gourmand,’ ‘Late Surger Savvy,’ and ‘Outer Swell.’
1) Kitasan Black
- Distance: Long
- Style: Front Runner
Kitasan Black is unequivocally the best Speed Support Card in the game and will remain so for years to come. It boasts good recovery and speed skills usable by most umas for any distance and running style. In fact, the card has no sub-par skills, as all of them can provide good value to most builds.
Additionally, the card also reduces the chance of training failure permanently through an event. By selecting the bottom option in the ‘Ah, Home Sweet Home’ event, you will get the Practice Perfect condition, which decreases the failure chance while training. Her chain events also improve mood, and the ‘Ah, Friendship’ event provides +10 Energy upon choosing the bottom option.
