Umamusume: Pretty Derby Character Tier List

This board ranks every trainable Umamusume released on the GLOBAL server — 91 character cards as of July 12, 2026, with alternate outfits tiered separately, exactly as the sources do. Placements reflect overall value across Champions Meeting, Team Trials, and career training. At the top: Kitasan Black (Gilded Shrine to Glory), the long-distance front-runner ace still being trained on the JP server years later; Oguri Cap (Ashen Miracle), whose Festive Miracle is the first unique skill to grant velocity, acceleration, and recovery at once; and Seiun Sky (Reeling in the Big One), a near-mandatory parent for competitive front runners thanks to Angling and Scheming. Maruzensky (Hot☆Summer Night), Mihono Bourbon (CODE: ICING), Taiki Shuttle (Wild Frontier), Nishino Flower (Layered Petals), and the evergreen selector pick Oguri Cap (Starlight Beat) round out the elite.

The current PvP context is the Leo Cup (CM16, July 12-21) — a 1200m sprint at Nakayama that spikes the value of sprint specialists like Sakura Bakushin O and King Halo (Cheerleader in Noble White), while Team Trials keeps skill-point machines like the brand-new Gold Ship (RUN! RUIN! LAUNCHER!) relevant: her 564 Escapades bypasses activation conditions on two random gold skills. Summer McQueen and Bamboo Memory, the other July debuts, slot in a tier lower.

Scope note for JP veterans: this is the global roster only. Copano Rickey (July 16), the new Smart Falcon, Narita Taishin, and Winning Ticket outfits, and everything further down JP's timeline are excluded until they actually ship on global — JP tier lists will mislead you here.

Provisional tiers blend Game8's Overall Character Tier List (updated July 7, 2026, CM16 era) with Pocket Tactics' July 2026 EN-server rankings, with the roster and release dates verified against GameTora. Disagree? That's what the vote buttons are for.
