Smart Falcon hit the scene through a character banner and is now the go-to Dirt Front Runner in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Before her, players had to tweak characters like Maruzensky or Taiki Shuttle to fit the role. This guide will help you build Smart Falcon to dominate in Dirt racing, especially in PvP modes.

Smart Falcon In Umamusume

Stats

Race Distance Speed Stamina Power Guts Wit
Mile (Dirt) 1100+ 600+* 800+ 300+ 400+

*You’ll need around 800 Stamina to keep max speed in a Mile race as a Front Runner with 300 Guts. If Stamina’s low, grab a rare recovery skill like Breath of Fresh Air plus Corner Recovery and Standard Distance to cover it.

In PvP, Stamina is king, followed by Speed and Power. No matter how fast your uma is (like 1200 Speed), if Stamina’s under 600 with no recovery skills, she’ll slow down hard when she’s out of gas.

Support Card Loadout

  • 4 Speed
  • 2 Power

Here’s a list of solid Support Cards with key skills. If your SSRs are 0LB or SRs are 1LB, swap them for higher-level Speed or Power cards you’ve got. Bolded cards and skills are top picks.

Speed Support Cards

  • SSR Kitasan Black
    Practice Perfect Condition
    Skills: Front Runner Straightaways, Professor of Curvature, Straightaway Adept, Corner Adept, Corner Recovery
  • SSR Nishino Flower
    Charming Condition
    Skills: Beeline Burst, Straightaway Adept
  • SSR Silence Suzuka
    Skills: Unrestrained, Final Push, Early Lead
  • SSR Twin Turbo
    Skills: Taking the Lead, Fast-Paced, Leader’s Pride
  • SR Sweep Tosho
    Charming Condition
  • SR King Halo
    Skills: Homestretch Haste, Outer Post Proficiency, Corner Recovery
  • SR Eishin Flash
    Skills: Homestretch Haste, Straightaway Acceleration

Power Support Cards

Umamusume Pretty Derby Smart Falcon 1

  • SR Mihono Bourbon
    Skills: Front Runner Straightaways, Front Runner Corners, Early Lead, Corner Recovery
  • SSR Vodka
    Skills: Breath of Fresh Air, Straightaway Acceleration, Homestretch Haste, Mile Straightaways
  • SSR Oguri Cap
    Skills: Acceleration, Corner Acceleration, Homestretch Haste

If you’re short on good Power cards, use one high-level Stamina card with one Power card and boost Power with Sparks.

Legacy

Hunt down Stamina Sparks for both Legacies. Since Support Cards will handle Speed and Power, you’ll need Sparks to bump up Stamina. Aim for 9-18 stars of Stamina Sparks total. Maruzensky and Taiki Shuttle are great parents since they pass on strong skills like Red Shift and Shooting for Victory! and have good compatibility.

Innate Skills

Unique Skill: Sparkly Stardom
Boosts speed and acceleration when someone tries to pass her on a straight during mid-race. This skill lasts 5 seconds and can carry into the late race if timed right. Make sure to hit fan goals in training to max it out.

Smart Falcon’s innate skills are solid, especially for Front Runners and Dirt races. Learn these in order of importance:

  • Leader’s Pride
  • Top Pick
  • Promising Omen
  • Trending in the Charts! (Potential Level 5)
  • Front Runner Savvy
