Umamusume Pretty Derby: Mejiro McQueen Build Guide

Mejiro McQueen is a top pick for long-distance races in Umamusume Pretty Derby thanks to her stellar stamina and recovery skills. With the right training and setup, she can become a powerhouse on the track. Stick to long-distance races on turf tracks, as she struggles on dirt and isn’t suited for short or medium distances.

Stamina is McQueen’s bread and butter—push it to at least 1200 by the Senior phase to keep her going strong in long races. Guts is next, aiming for 800–1000 to help her recover and surge past rivals in the final stretch.

Speed, Power, and Intelligence (Wit) need attention too. Keep Speed at 800–1000 to hold a solid pace early on. Power and Intelligence should stay balanced at 600–800 each to improve her positioning and resilience.

• Stamina Training: Prioritize running or endurance exercises to hit 1200+ Stamina by the Senior phase. This ensures she can outlast opponents in long races.
• Guts Training: Aim for 800–1000 Guts to boost recovery and late-race pushes through crowded fields.
• Speed Training: Target 800–1000 Speed to keep her competitive early in races.
• Power and Intelligence: Balance these at 600–800 to support her positioning and toughness.

• Junior Phase: Build a Stamina base of 500–600 and unlock basic skills like Stamina Keeper.
• Classic Phase: Focus on Guts (600–800) and win a long-distance race like the Kikuka Sho to unlock Mejiro Elegance.
• Senior Phase: Max out Stamina (1200+) and Guts (1000+), and secure powerful skills like Mejiro Legacy or Noble Charge for endgame races.

• 3 Stamina Cards (e.g., SSR Takanotsume for stamina growth and long-distance skills)
• 2 Speed Cards (e.g., SSR Silence Suzuka for speed boosts and Leader synergy)
• 1 Guts Card (e.g., SSR Special Week for recovery and Guts)

Focus on recovery and stamina skills, saving speed boosts for the final stretch. Other great cards include:

• SR Mejiro Ryan (Power, Mejiro family synergy)
• SSR Satono Diamond (Intelligence, better race strategy)

McQueen thrives in teams that play to her long-distance strengths and Leader/Betweener strategies. Here’s a solid team setup:

• Silence Suzuka (Leader): Sets a fast pace, letting McQueen save stamina for the end.
• Special Week (Betweener): Boosts stamina recovery and mid-race positioning.
• Gold Ship (Long-Distance): Shares the stamina load in long races.
• Mejiro Ryan (Power): Adds power and Mejiro family synergy bonuses.

McQueen’s outfits offer small stat boosts or team synergy, so picking the right one matters. Available through gacha or event rewards, here are the best options:

• Default Outfit: Balanced-stats, heavy on Stamina.
• Winning Live Outfit: Small Guts boost, great for late-race surges.
• Summer Outfit (Event-Limited): Minor Speed and Stamina bonuses, better for middle-distance races.
• Mejiro Family Uniform: Small synergy bonus when teamed with other Mejiro members.
