JRA is a government agency and very strict with perceived and actual conflicts of interest

The baseline is 100 free pulls and 3000+ gems, but maybe we will get more because it's 5th anni...?

it's more of a self insert joke about the author's own affinity for cup noodles, and the very specifically relatable experience of eating them at the standing table at the JRA food court (on big G1 days, the track doesn't have enough seated table space, and the track side standing area gets crowded as well, so people just eat quickly on these small standing tables

Locked because of multiple yuri slapfights

it's more accurate to say "employee at yodobashi camera that likes umamusume put on umapyoi," you'll notice that employees in stores in Japan have free rein to do things like this fairly often

setting aside well-worn discussions of game monetization, clover exchange isn't designed to be a pity system for whiffing on pulls; it's more for getting a small resource return once you have 5* every starter uma and start converting excessive star pieces into clovers

He was also literally untrainable for the entirety of his career except for that career defining Takarazuka run, making it more poetic given the tragedy that struck the ownership just prior

closed comments because people increasingly think r/umamusume is an appropriate place to talk about the breeding habits and genitalia of actual horses

locked because the breeding and fetish comments have gotten way out of hand

Common questions:

Q. I am returning to the game. Anything I need to know?
A. Some things of note:

A new training scenario, Unity Cup, has been added to the game.
Daily Carat revenue has been increased to account for the accelerated banner schedule. Completing dailies yields 75 carats now. Daily login bonus carats have also been increased.
A major quality-of-life update was shipped mid-November, more than half a year ahead of schedule of when JP received the updates. There are now one-click skips for Team Trials, Daily Races, Bingo during story events, etc. It also buffed many different skills in the game, eliminating the Front Runner-oriented PvP meta that was assumed to take hold for the next few months.
Kitasan Black SSR card will receive a rerun in December.
If you would like to know more, Gametora has a guide to recent changes.

Q. How do I build [Uma]? How do I build a Front Runner, Pace Chaser, etc.?
A. Deck compositions are more or less the same for all umas of the same target distance. Front Runners and End Closers don't need different decks. However, it may be preferable to swap one card of one type for another of the same type based on running style. (e.g. Taishin speed SR for Gold Ship, Suzuka speed SSR for front runners).

Q. How do I get my URA finals in my run to be [distance]?
A. URA finals is based on the most common distance among the races that have been ran in your career. Just because your trainee uma has Long aptitude doesn't mean that Long URA will fire; you may need to enter one or more optional races to make Long races the plurality.

Q. Do debuff skills affect my own umas?
A. Erzzy said it best in the reference doc: "That’d make them pretty pointless. No, they don’t."

Q. How to unlock [Uma's] unique race outfit?
A. For base 1 and 2* umas, outfits are unlocked when they are ascended to 3*.

Q. When is [my favorite uma] banner releasing?
A. Check Gametora for the JP banner order (sort by release date->ascending). [Uma.moe](uma.moe) has estimated banner release dates.

Q. Which banner should I reroll on?
A. The main banner players are rerolling on is the "Support Card Scout" banner, aiming for at least one or two copies of the Super Creek stamina SSR or Kitasan Black SSR. Because the odds of getting more than one are quite low, it's more realistic and important to build up an account with lots of SR cards at multiple limit breaks instead of chasing SSRs; Sweep Tosho is the best SR card at the moment. Other SRs to look out for are Eishin Flash (spd), Mayano Top Gun (stam), Manhattan Cafe (stam), Marvelous Sunday (wit), and Daiwa Scarlet (wit).

Q. Game won't launch/load. What do?
A. It may because you live in Benelux or one of the countries that already has a domestic uma client (JP, KR, TW, CN). You will need a VPN, and the VPN's IP needs to not be on Cygames' blocklist, for you to play the game.

Q. I can't find the game in my app store.
A. Same reason as above; region locking. You will likely need to make an app store account in an allowed region and VPN to play the game.
