The landscape of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby training is constantly shifting, and to stay ahead, you need the most current and authoritative Support Card Tier List. As of December 2025, the game's meta is heavily defined by the need for extreme Speed scaling and reliable Stamina recovery, particularly within the challenging DYI Scenario (Dreamy Year of Innovation) and its high-stat requirements. This guide breaks down the essential SSR and Max Uncap SR cards you must prioritize for efficient training, providing a clear roadmap to building championship-level Uma Musume in the current competitive environment.
Building the perfect deck is the single most critical factor in Uma Musume, translating directly into higher race stats and better unique skills. The cards listed here are the absolute foundation of the current meta, offering unparalleled training bonuses, high Specialty Priority, and game-changing event skills that no serious player can afford to ignore. We’ve analyzed the latest trends to bring you the definitive rankings that will elevate your training sessions immediately.
The Foundational SS-Tier: The Unstoppable Core of the Meta
These four Support Cards are the undisputed kings of the current meta. They are universally applicable, provide massive stat boosts, and often come with unique mechanics or scenario links that make them irreplaceable. If you only invest in four SSRs, these should be your priority.
- [Fire at My Heels] Kitasan Black (SSR Speed): Still the reigning champion of Speed cards, Kitasan Black is a mandatory inclusion in almost every top-tier build. Her card provides a massive amount of stat gains, high Initial Kizuna, and the crucial "Arcane" unique skill. Her unparalleled stat bonuses and high Specialty Priority make her the foundation of the current Speed-scaling meta.
- [Wave of Gratitude] Fine Motion (SSR Intelligence): The cornerstone of Intelligence-focused builds. Fine Motion provides a perfect blend of high Intelligence training bonuses and an excellent set of general-purpose skills. Her card is essential for reaching the 1200+ Intelligence cap, which is vital for race positioning and acceleration in the current meta.
- [Planned Perfection] Riko Kashimoto (SSR Friend): Riko is the best Friend card by a significant margin, often considered a "cheat code" for training. Her events not only provide massive stat boosts and condition recovery but also offer a powerful Scenario Link bonus in many recent scenarios, making her a versatile powerhouse.
- [Peace of Mind] Super Creek (SSR Stamina): While Stamina requirements vary, Super Creek remains the gold standard for long-distance and stamina-intensive races. Her card’s high Stamina bonuses and the ability to grant the powerful "Circle of Recovery" skill make her a non-negotiable pick when aiming for high-Stamina builds.
Tier Breakdown by Training Type (S-Tier & A-Tier Must-Haves)
While the SS-Tier cards form the core, optimizing your deck requires selecting the best cards for the remaining stat types. The current meta often prioritizes Speed and Intelligence, but Power, Stamina, and Guts cards are essential for balanced builds and specific race conditions.
Speed & Intelligence Optimization
After Kitasan Black and Fine Motion, these cards offer the best supplementary gains for the two most important stats.
- [Cutie Pie with a Secret] Marvelous Sunday (SSR Speed): A fantastic secondary Speed card, often used alongside Kitasan Black to max out the Speed stat early. Marvelous Sunday provides strong event chains and a solid repertoire of useful skills, making her a consistent S-Tier choice.
- [Tamamo Cross] (SSR Stamina): A top-tier alternative to Super Creek, Tamamo Cross is crucial for builds that require a massive Stamina pool. She provides excellent Stamina training bonuses and a reliable set of long-distance skills, solidifying the Stamina recovery foundation.
Power & Guts for Versatility
The Power and Guts stats are often raised through training with Speed and Stamina cards, but dedicated cards are necessary for specific race strategies or when aiming for a balanced stat distribution.
- [Jungle Pocket] (SSR Power): One of the strongest pure Power cards available. Jungle Pocket's card focuses on raw stat gains and high-impact Power skills. Essential for short-distance racers or those needing to break through high Power checks.
- [Fairest Fleur] Grass Wonder (SSR Guts): Grass Wonder is a premier Guts card, offering high Mood Effect and Specialty Priority. In the current meta, Guts is often used as a "dump stat" but is critical for its contribution to Endurance and final corner acceleration, making Grass Wonder a top pick when Guts training is required.
- [Mejiro Palmer] (SSR Guts/Power): A highly versatile card that excels in both Guts and Power training. Mejiro Palmer's strength lies in her ability to be an effective filler card that contributes meaningfully to two different stats, perfect for flexible deck compositions.
The Best Max Uncap SR Support Cards (Budget Powerhouses)
For players who can't rely on a full deck of Max Limit Break (MLB) SSR cards, a fully uncapped (MLB) SR card is a cost-effective and powerful alternative. These SR cards often outperform low-limit-break SSRs and are vital for Free-to-Play (F2P) players.
Top-Tier SR Cards to Max Out
- [First-Rate Plan] King Halo (SR Speed): The best F2P Speed card. King Halo provides incredibly high training efficiency and useful skills, making her an easy substitute for a missing SSR Speed card. She is a staple for new players and F2P veterans alike.
- [Biwa Hayahide] (SR Stamina): Biwa Hayahide is a highly reliable Stamina card. She offers solid friendship bonuses and a small Stamina Bonus at max level, ensuring consistent stat gains during linked training.
- [Air Groove] (SR Guts): A top-tier Guts SR card, Air Groove is often cited for her high training efficiency and solid Guts-boosting events. She is a perfect choice for covering the Guts slot without spending precious resources on a dedicated SSR.
Understanding the December 2025 Meta: Speed Scaling and DYI Scenario
The current competitive environment, particularly in PvP events like Team Trials and Champions Meeting, demands an understanding of the underlying mechanics. The focus on high Speed and Intelligence is a direct response to the game's recent scenario design.
The Dominance of Speed Scaling
The 2025 meta is all about "Speed Scaling." This refers to the massive advantage gained by pushing the Speed stat as high as possible (often 1600+ with stat caps removed or increased in recent scenarios). Kitasan Black and Marvelous Sunday are essential because they not only provide raw Speed but also the crucial training efficiency and hint levels needed to hit these extreme numbers. The higher the Speed, the better the Uma Musume performs in the final stretch, directly influencing race outcomes.
The Impact of the DYI Scenario
The Dreamy Year of Innovation (DYI) Scenario, or the most current equivalent, typically features unique mechanics that reward specific card types or training strategies. While the tier list above is generally applicable, cards with a powerful Scenario Link, like Riko Kashimoto, receive an even greater boost in value when training in this environment. Always check for cards that synergize with the latest scenario's unique training mechanics to maximize your final stats.
The Role of Inherited Skills
Even with the best Support Cards, don't overlook the importance of Inherited Skills. The current meta favors inheriting powerful unique skills from other Uma Musume (often referred to as "Aoharu Parent" or "Grand Live" parents) to complement the skills gained from your Support Cards. A well-trained parent with a strong blue stat inheritance (like Speed or Stamina) can provide the final boost needed to edge out the competition.
Final Verdict: Your December 2025 Support Card Strategy
To succeed in the current Uma Musume meta, your strategy should revolve around securing the SS-Tier core and supplementing it with high-efficiency cards for the remaining slots. Prioritize Max Limit Break (MLB) cards, as the difference between a fully uncapped card and a low-limit-break card is immense. Focus your resources on:
- Securing Kitasan Black and Fine Motion: These two are non-negotiable for high-stat builds.
- Acquiring Riko Kashimoto: Her versatility and event chain are too valuable to pass up.
- Maxing Out Key SRs: Use MLB King Halo, Biwa Hayahide, and Air Groove to fill your deck until you can replace them with their SSR counterparts.
By following this updated December 2025 Support Card Tier List, you will be well-equipped to navigate the Speed-scaling meta and produce championship-winning Uma Musume.
