Umamusume Pretty Derby: The Ultimate S-Rank Support Card Tier List For The December 2025 Meta

Contents
Welcome, Trainer! As of December 2025, the competitive landscape of Umamusume: Pretty Derby is more intense than ever, with the current meta revolving heavily around the advanced training techniques of the U.A.F. (University of Awesome Friends) scenario. To consistently produce S-Rank and U.R. (Ultimate Rank) Umamusume, your choice of Support Cards is the single most critical factor, offering game-changing stat bonuses, powerful unique skills, and crucial event recovery. This definitive tier list cuts through the noise to highlight the absolute must-have Support Cards, focusing on their utility in the current U.A.F. training environment. Forget outdated rankings—we’re focusing on the cards that provide the highest training efficiency, the best skill hints, and the superior Friendship Training bonuses required to dominate the Grand Prix and Team Races right now.

The S-Rank Pantheon: Top-Tier Support Cards (December 2025)

The S-Rank cards are the foundation of any championship-caliber build. They are defined by their superior Training Bonuses, high Motivation effects, and the quality of their unique gold skills. These cards are non-negotiable for competitive play.
  • [Fire at My Heels] Kitasan Black (Speed SSR): Still the undisputed king of Speed cards. Kitasan Black offers unparalleled Training Bonuses, including a massive Friendship Bonus and a high Will Bonus. Her signature gold skill, "A Good Start," is a game-changer for most runners, making her a mandatory 1-slot include in nearly every deck. Her events also provide substantial stat boosts and a crucial Training Success Rate bonus.
  • [Peace of Mind] Super Creek (Stamina SSR): The quintessential Stamina card. Super Creek remains S-Tier not just for her high Stamina gains, but for her powerful recovery skill, "Circle of Healing." In the current meta where long-distance races demand high Stamina and recovery, she is essential for any middle or long-distance runner.
  • [Wave of Gratitude] Fine Motion (Wit/Int SSR): The premier Intelligence/Wit card. Fine Motion provides incredible Intelligence and Speed training efficiency, often allowing trainers to achieve high dual-stat caps. Her unique skill set is perfect for the U.A.F. scenario, where Wit training is highly prioritized for skill activation and position-keeping.
  • [Double Carrot Punch!] Biko Pegasus (Speed SSR): A pure-tempo Speed card that rivals Kitasan Black in raw Speed output. Biko Pegasus excels at showing up where you need her, providing consistent Speed training. Her utility is in high-speed short-distance builds where every point of Speed is critical.
  • [Cutie Pie with Shining Eyes] Curren Chan (Speed SSR): A top-tier Speed card specializing in short-distance skills. She is a core component of any S-Rank short-distance specialist build, providing essential skills and strong training efficiency.
  • [Fairest Fleur] Grass Wonder (Stamina SSR): A versatile card that provides excellent Stamina and Power gains. Grass Wonder is a strong alternative or complement to Super Creek, particularly for Chaser or Leader running styles, thanks to her high-impact skill hints.

The U.A.F. Scenario Specialists: Meta-Defining Utility Cards

The U.A.F. (University of Awesome Friends) scenario has shifted the meta to prioritize cards that offer unique utility, such as condition recovery, high initial motivation, or scenario-specific bonuses. These cards often occupy the critical "Friend Card" slot or offer the unique stat distribution needed for the scenario's final stat checks.

Friend & Group Cards

  • [Tracen's Daily Life] Tazuna Hayakawa (Friend SSR): The gold standard for Friend Cards. Tazuna's ability to restore Motivation, recover Stamina, and clear negative conditions is invaluable. In a high-risk, high-reward scenario like U.A.F., her consistent support and ability to prevent training failures make her a safety net and an efficiency booster.
  • [Daring to Dream] Nice Nature (Power/Guts SSR): While often categorized as Power or Guts, Nice Nature is a specialist for the current meta. Her unique ability to disrupt other racers with debuff skills makes her a tactical powerhouse in PvP. Furthermore, her SSR version provides excellent training efficiency and useful skill hints for the U.A.F. scenario.

The Power & Guts Contenders

The Power and Guts stat types have become increasingly important in the U.A.F. meta, as they directly influence a Umamusume's ability to maintain speed during the mid-race phase and execute a powerful final spurt.
  • [Eat Fast! Yum Fast!] Sakura Bakushin O (Speed/Power SSR): Although a Speed card, her dual focus on Power and Speed makes her a highly flexible pick. She is often used for short-distance builds to ensure the Umamusume has enough Power to execute the final sprint effectively.
  • [Slightly Wild] Mejiro Dober (Power SSR): A top-tier Power card known for her high-value skill hints, particularly for Chaser and Betweener styles. Her Power Training bonus is substantial, helping to achieve the necessary 1200+ Power cap.
  • [A New World] Mejiro McQueen (Stamina/Power SSR): A versatile card providing a balance of Stamina and Power, which is a highly sought-after combination for mid-distance builds. She is a great choice when you need to conserve a slot but still need decent gains in both stats.

Mastering the Meta: Building the Perfect Deck

The secret to mastering the current Umamusume meta isn't just pulling S-Rank cards; it's understanding how they synergize within the 6-card deck limit. The U.A.F. scenario rewards balanced stats and a deep pool of high-value skills.

Standard U.A.F. Training Deck Templates

The most successful decks in the December 2025 meta follow a few core templates, designed to maximize the U.A.F.'s unique training mechanics and stat requirements.

1. The Dominant Speed/Wit Build (The "Kitasan-Fine" Core)

This is the most common and powerful template for short and mile-distance runners.
  • Speed x2: Kitasan Black (Mandatory) + Biko Pegasus/Curren Chan
  • Wit x2: Fine Motion (Mandatory) + Nishino Flower (SR)
  • Power x1: Mejiro Dober/Nice Nature
  • Friend x1: Tazuna Hayakawa (Mandatory)
This setup leverages the incredible efficiency of Kitasan Black and Fine Motion to cap Speed and Wit quickly, leaving the Umamusume with enough training turns to boost Power and Guts.

2. The Long-Distance Stamina Build (The "Creek-Kitasan" Core)

Essential for any Umamusume tackling 2400m+ races.
  • Stamina x2: Super Creek (Mandatory) + Grass Wonder/Manhattan Cafe
  • Speed x2: Kitasan Black (Mandatory) + Sakura Bakushin O
  • Wit x1: Fine Motion
  • Friend x1: Tazuna Hayakawa
This template ensures the Umamusume has the massive Stamina pool required for long races while still maintaining the high Speed gains from Kitasan Black, which is crucial for the final sprint.

The Power of SR Cards: Budget-Friendly S-Tier Alternatives

For trainers without a full stable of SSR cards, several SR (Super Rare) cards offer near-SSR levels of utility, making them essential budget alternatives.
  • [Even the Littlest Bud] Nishino Flower (Wit/Intelligence SR): Often considered an S-Tier SR. She provides excellent Intelligence gains and a high-impact gold skill, making her a perfect substitute if you lack a second Wit SSR.
  • [Full Power!] Sweep Tosho (Power SR): A fantastic Power card with high-value skill hints and a strong Friendship Bonus, serving as a reliable alternative to Mejiro Dober.
  • [A Great Day] Zenno Rob Roy (Stamina SR): A reliable Stamina card that provides solid gains and valuable event skills, a good fill-in for Super Creek.
In the ever-evolving world of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a dynamic tier list is crucial. By prioritizing the core S-Rank cards—Kitasan Black, Super Creek, and Fine Motion—and supplementing them with the meta-relevant utility of Tazuna Hayakawa and Biko Pegasus, you can guarantee your Umamusume will be ready to take on the most challenging races in the current December 2025 competitive environment. Smart deck construction, focusing on the U.A.F. scenario's needs, is the final step to achieving true Ultimate Rank greatness.
