Starting strong in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby can make a huge difference in your gameplay experience. Rerolling—the process of restarting your account to get better initial pulls—is a great way to secure powerful support cards and characters early on. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about rerolling, from the basics to advanced tips, ensuring you get the best possible start without wasting time.

Rerolling might seem tedious, but it’s worth the effort. The game’s gacha system determines your early-game strength, and pulling top-tier support cards or characters can save you months of grinding. Support cards, in particular, are crucial because they enhance your horse girls’ stats and training efficiency. Unlike characters, which you can eventually obtain through free tickets, high-rarity support cards are much harder to come by later.
If you’re aiming for competitive play or just want a smoother experience, rerolling for at least one or two strong SSR (highest rarity) support cards is highly recommended.
Step-by-Step Rerolling Guide
- Install the Game and Complete the Tutorial
First, download Uma Musume: Pretty Derby on your preferred platform—mobile (iOS/Android) or PC via Steam. Once installed, launch the game and go through the mandatory tutorial. This introduces you to the basics of training and racing, and while you can’t skip it on your first attempt, subsequent rerolls let you bypass it for faster resets.
After the tutorial, claim any available launch rewards from your in-game mailbox. These usually include free gems (Jewel Carrots) and gacha tickets, which you’ll use for rerolling.
- Use Your Initial Rolls Wisely
With your starting currency, head to the gacha (Scout) menu. Focus on the Standard Support Card Banner, as SSR support cards provide long-term benefits. Avoid rolling on character banners early—most strong characters can be obtained later through free selectors or events.
Aim for at least one SSR support card per reroll. The best ones to target are:
- Fine Motion (Intelligence) – Boosts training efficiency and skill acquisition.
- Super Creek (Stamina) – Essential for long-distance races.
- Kitasan Black (Speed) – A future meta card worth saving for.
If you get two SSR supports in a single reroll, that’s an excellent result worth keeping.
- Decide Whether to Keep or Reset
If your pulls are disappointing, you’ll need to reset your account. Here’s how:
- On mobile, go to the title screen, open the menu (three-line icon), and select “Delete User Data.”
- On Steam, you may need to uninstall and reinstall or clear game data manually.
This wipes your progress, letting you start fresh. Repeat the process until you secure at least one top-tier SSR support.
- Secure Your Account
Once you’re happy with your rolls, bind your account to a Cygames ID to save your progress. Skipping this step risks losing your hard-earned pulls if your device crashes or you switch platforms.
Advanced Rerolling Tips
Speed Up the Process with Emulators
If you’re rerolling on PC, using an Android emulator like LDPlayer or BlueStacks can save time. These tools allow you to run multiple instances of the game simultaneously, letting you reroll several accounts at once.
Prioritize Support Cards Over Characters
While pulling a 3-star horse girl like Oguri Cap or Silence Suzuka might be tempting, support cards matter more in the long run. Characters are easier to obtain later through free tickets, but top-tier SSR supports remain valuable for months.
Save for Future Banners
After securing a good starting set of supports, stop rolling and save your gems. The game’s first major meta card, Kitasan Black (Speed), typically arrives a month after launch. Having a stash of gems ensures you can pull for her when she drops.
Common Rerolling Mistakes to Avoid
- Wasting gems on character banners early – Supports are the priority.
- Settling for weak SSR supports – Not all SSRs are equal; aim for Fine Motion or Super Creek.
- Forgetting to bind your account – Losing a good reroll due to negligence is heartbreaking.
