Best Winning Ticket Build In Umamusume: Pretty Derby

In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you’ll run the same career tracks with different characters, but each run feels unique depending on your luck and the character’s preferences. Winning Ticket, a one-star character, leans toward longer races.

If you pull a few times on the Derby banner, you can bump her up to two stars, which boosts her base stats and gives her some extra perks. With the right setup, she can dominate races on your account.

How To Play Winning Ticket

Distance

• Sprint (G)
• Mile (F)
• Medium (A)
• Long (B)

Style

• Front (G)
• Pace (B)
• Late (A)
• End (G)

When you pick Winning Ticket for a career run, check her preferred distances and styles to plan your build. She’s got an A in Medium and Late Surger, plus a B in Long and Pace Chaser, so you’ll likely focus on those.

For a Long or Pace Chaser build, try to push those ratings to A using your Legacy. Her career includes seven Medium and two Long races before the URA Championship, but one Long race—Arima Kinen—requires a first-place finish, which is tough.

Long races demand solid stats for your chosen style and a ton of Stamina to keep up.

The best setup for Winning Ticket is a Late Surger build for Long races, backed by her unique skill, V Is For Victory. It boosts your speed on the final straight, which is perfect for overtaking as a Late Surger. The final straight gets longer with race distance, making this skill great for both Medium and Long races, though it shines more in Long ones.

Winning Ticket Best Stats

Winning Ticket is one of the trickier characters to build in Umamusume. Speed is king, so aim for 800+, ideally over 900. You’ll also need plenty of Stamina for Long races and solid Power and Guts to surge ahead in the final stretch. For PvP, decent Wits are a must to trigger skills against other players, since career races are easier but PvP is a different beast.

Her base stats show high Power and low Stamina, but the gap isn’t huge, pointing to a balanced build. Her growth rate favors Power slightly over Stamina, which helps you balance things without relying too heavily on Support Cards.

Winning Ticket Legacy Recommendations

Before starting her career, you can pick up to two Legacies that give stat boosts across three race phases. You’ll see the initial stats when you choose, but the boosts in April each year are random.

Speed is still key, but aim for a balanced spread across Speed, Stamina, Power, and a bit of Guts and Wits. Your starting stats might not look amazing, but this approach helps hit the target numbers over time.

Winning Ticket Best Skills

Her stat requirements are steep and tough to max out. Luckily, skills can cover any weak spots. For example, if Stamina’s low, grab some regeneration skills to stay in the race.

As a Long Late Surger, Winning Ticket has plenty of skill options:

• Late Surger Savvy: A green skill that doesn’t add much to ranking points but gives a solid boost to her Late Surger style.
• Straightaway Skills: General and Long/Late Surger-specific skills that increase speed on straights, a big part of the race. Stacking these is super helpful.
• Passing Pro: A Long-specific skill that saves Stamina while passing other runners.
• Cooldown: Pairs well with Straightaway skills by regenerating Stamina on straights.
• Relax: Boosts Stamina regeneration late in the race, where Winning Ticket excels.
• Position Pilfer: Increases speed mid-race to set up for the final push.
• Fighter: Her personal skill, which improves passing ability—key for her playstyle.

Winning Ticket Best Support Cards

Pick a mix of Support Cards before her career: two Speed, two Guts, one Power, and one Stamina. The Power and Stamina cards work well with her growth rate, so one of each is enough. Here are the top picks:
