Maximize your Jewel savings and skip the bait! Here’s the ultimate 2025 guide to the best gacha banners in Umamusume that are actually worth your pulls—whether you’re free-to-play or a light spender.
π‘ How Gacha Banners Work in Umamusume
In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, there are two main types of banners:
-
Uma Character Gacha: Pull for racehorses (like Daiwa Scarlet or Manhattan Cafe).
-
Support Card Gacha: Pull for training cards that drastically impact your stat gains and event outcomes.
Each banner typically runs for 2 weeks, and features “pickup” rate-ups. However, with low base rates (3% for SSR), sparking (200 pulls) is often the only way to guarantee a specific unit.
π What Makes a Banner Worth Pulling?
Don’t just chase your favorite waifu—ask if they bring value to your training builds or meta distance types. A banner is worth your Jewels if it offers:
✅ Meta-defining support cards
✅ High synergy with common training comps
✅ Relevance across multiple distances (Sprint, Mile, Medium, Long)
✅ Long-term viability in Team Stadium or Champions Meeting
✅ Low rerun frequency (event-limited cards)

π° Jewel Saving Tips for F2P Players
-
Pull only during meta-defining banners (like Kitasan reruns or Aniv events)
-
Spark wisely: Save 30,000 Jewels minimum for a guaranteed spark
-
Use trial banners if available (free pulls or test training)
-
Check community recommendations before every banner
⛔ When to Skip a Gacha
Not every shiny new card is worth it. Skip banners that:
-
Feature niche cards (like Dirt-only or Nurture-only builds)
-
Rerun too frequently
-
Offer poor synergy with your team or current meta goals
