In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, racking up fans is just as important as boosting your stats during training. If you don’t have enough fans, your career stalls, and you’re stuck. To run in big-time races, you’ve got to show off your skills on the track. Here’s the lowdown on how to get fans in Umamusume and keep your career moving.
You can’t just depend on your main career races to pull in the fans you need. Joining extra races lets you flex your racers’ strengths and build your fanbase. Timing these extra races smartly is key. Below are the best ways to gain fans in Umamusume throughout your career.
How To Gain Fans
The quickest way to boost your fan count is by racing and winning. Even if you don’t take first, you’ll still pick up a few supporters. To come out on top, focus on your character’s strongest stats and nail the race with their unique skill for some extra flair.
Sometimes, you’ll see you’re short on fans to qualify for the next race. Certain Umamusume, like Haru Urara, Mejiro McQueen, and Silence Suzuka, have career goals tied to hitting specific fan milestones. To hit those targets, you’ll need to jump into extra races during training.
As you keep racing, you’ll climb the rankings until you hit Legend class. Fans you earn get added to your career card once you complete it. More fans also mean better unique skill upgrades and juicier rewards from weekly team trials.
These extra races are also a solid way to test your Umamusume’s potential for upcoming challenges. But not all races are open right away—you’ll need to build up fans to unlock better ones that offer even more fans.
How To Plan Additional Races
In the race menu, you’ll see all sorts of courses, including ones where your Umamusume might not shine. Pick races that match your racer’s strengths. For example, if your horse struggles on Dirt turf, don’t bother with those races.
The game throws out suggestions for races your Umamusume can handle. The Center Stage option picks races your racer can likely win, but they don’t bring in many fans, so skip those if you’re aiming high. The Path to Fame option is your best bet for piling up fans fast. You can use the predictions feature to check if your racer’s stats are up to snuff before committing to a race. Once you pick an option, you’re locked in for the rest of your career.
- Center Stage
Races pop up that suit your stats and skills. - Path to Fame
Races with bigger fan rewards show up. - Forge Your Own Path
Pick whatever races fit your Umamusume’s strengths.
Don’t jump into long races early on if your Umamusume lacks the stamina to keep up. Also, make sure your racer is in top shape mood-wise before competing.
For the best results, aim to run these extra races when you’ve got three days left before your goal. This gives you enough time to max out your stats and pull in the fans you need.
