Top Build, Stats, and Support Cards for Winning in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

How to Play Winning Ticket

When playing Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you'll go through various career runs with different characters. Each run will vary not only based on luck but also on the preferred types of your chosen character. Winning Ticket is a one-star character who primarily excels in longer distance races.

By pulling a few times on the Derby banner, you can easily upgrade her to two stars, which boosts her base stats and provides additional advantages. With the right build, she can become a key player in specific races on your account.

Recommended Builds for Winning Ticket

Once you select Winning Ticket for your next career run, it's essential to look at her desired distance and styles to determine the best build. She has an A rating in Medium and Late Surger, and a B in Long and Pace Chaser. Your target build will likely involve one of these distances and styles.

If you're aiming for a Long or Pace Chaser build, it's recommended to raise their rating to an A using Legacies. There are seven Medium and two Long races in her career before the URA Championship, but one of the Long races requires you to finish first, which can be challenging since it's Arima Kinen.

Long races demand a lot of stats for your chosen style and require significant Stamina to avoid falling behind. The best build for Winning Ticket is undoubtedly the Late Surger style on a Long distance. This is further supported by her unique skill, V Is For Victory, which increases speed on the final straight. This ability greatly benefits the Late Surger style, as it allows for overtaking other runners.

The final straight becomes longer as the race distance increases, making this skill particularly effective for both Medium and Long races, with even greater value on the latter.

Best Stats for Winning Ticket

As seen from the recommended builds above, Winning Ticket is arguably one of the most challenging characters to build in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Speed is the most valuable stat in the game, and ideally, it should be above 800, with the best value being over 900 for this build.

In addition to Speed, you need a lot of Stamina to keep going during Long races and a significant amount of Power and Guts to push ahead in the final phase. If you plan to use this character in PvP, you'll also need decently high Wit to trigger your skills effectively against other players.

While the races in career mode are easier, things are different in other modes where skill triggers are less frequent. Winning Ticket's base stats have the highest Power and the lowest Stamina, but the difference between them isn't large. This suggests that a balanced build is the best approach for her.

Her growth rate is in Power and Stamina, with a slightly higher percentage in Power, which helps achieve a balanced build without needing too many Support Cards.

Legacy Recommendations for Winning Ticket

Before starting your career with Winning Ticket, you can choose up to two Legacies that provide a range of stats divided into three phases of the race. You can see the stats you'll get as soon as the race starts when selecting these Legacies, and the other two instances trigger in April each year, with randomized stats.

Speed remains a priority for Winning Ticket, but it's recommended to have a balanced distribution between Speed, Stamina, and Power, with some Guts and Wit if possible. While this might not make your starting stats very strong, it will help you reach the recommended points in the long run.

Best Skills for Winning Ticket

The stat requirements for Winning Ticket are quite high, and it's nearly impossible to meet them in most cases. Fortunately, skills can help fill in the gaps with your stats in every way possible. For example, if your Stamina is low, you can get several Stamina regeneration skills and still perform well.

As a Long Late Surger, Winning Ticket has a wide variety of skills to use, making her versatile in different scenarios.
