Ever since the worldwide debut of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, there’s been a steady progression as players grow fonder of it and it catches up to its Japanese counterpart. Now, let me present the highly anticipated support card that many have been holding onto since the game’s launch – Kitasan Black. Let’s delve into why this card is considered a game-changer in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Kitasan Black Banner Release Date
Starting July 16th, 2025 at 3:00 PM (UTC), you’ll have a higher chance to obtain the horse character Kitasan Black in Umamusume: Pretty Derby during a special spotlight banner. This limited event will run until August 1st. After the limited banner ends, there’s a possibility that Kitasan Black might appear on future Support Card banners, but no specific dates have been announced yet.
Kitasan Black Support Card Effects
As a devoted fan, I can confidently say that at level 50, Kitasan Black stands undeniably among the mightiest Speed Support Cards in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Given how crucial Speed is for numerous characters, this card is an indispensable asset in almost every career playthrough. Yet, before you push it to its full potential and elevate it to level 50, Kitasan Black holds power comparable to many other Speed Support Cards in the game.
One key factor behind this is that her Specialty Priority bonus gets activated solely at level 45. This Specialty Priority stat is crucial for any high-performing Support Card, as it increases its likelihood of showing up during training matches that correspond to its type. Furthermore, Kitasan Black empowers your characters with potent abilities that replenish their stamina and accelerate their speed on both straightaways and turns. Here’s a rundown of Kitasan Black’s stats at level 50:
1. Specialty Priority Bonus: Unlocked at Level 45
2. Increases the frequency of appearing during type-specific training matches for Support Cards
3. Kitasan Black Abilities:
– Restores Character Stamina
– Boosts Speed on Straights and Corners
| Card | Stats | Hintable Skills |
|---|---|---|
 | ✨ Unique Effect (lvl 40): • Training Effectiveness – 5% • Specialty Priority – 20% ✨ Friendship Bonus – 25% ✨ Initial Friendship Gauge – 35% ✨ Training Effectiveness – 10% ✨ Race Bonus – 5% ✨ Fan Bonus – 15% ✨ Mood Effect – 30% ✨ Hint Levels – Lv 2 ✨ Hint Frequency – 30% ✨ Power Bonus – 1 (lvl 35) ✨ Specialty Priority – 80% (lvl 45) | • Corner Recovery • Straightaway Recovery • Extra Tank • Corner Adept • Long Corners • Front Runner Straightaways • Dodging Danger • Focus • Straightaway Adept • Professor of Curvature |
How to Prepare for the Kitasan Black Release
As a fellow Umamusume: Pretty Derby trainer, if you’re eyeing up Kitasan Black like me, you’ll need a hefty pile of Carats to unleash its full potential. So, knock out every easy mission that dishes out a decent chunk of Carats. Don’t forget to give Team Trials a go, since the promotion zone resets weekly, and you can snag up to 1,500 Carats from the initial promotions. Remember, the limited Kitasan Black banner will be active for two weeks, giving us all time to roll on it as we gather more Carats.
In contrast, if you haven’t been setting aside funds since Umamusume: Pretty Derby debuted, your chances of accumulating five Kitasan Black Support Cards solely through in-game Carats are quite minimal. Should you opt to spend real money, prioritize the limited Carat packs as they provide the most cost-effective value. Here’s a look at the typical odds for obtaining Kitasan Black, or any other SSR, at the 0.75% uprate:
| Pulls | None | 0LB | 1LB | 2LB | 3LB | MLB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 69% | 26% | 5% | 0.6% | 0.1% | 0% |
| 100 | 47% | 36% | 13% | 3% | 0.6% | 0.1% |
| 200 | 0% | 22% | 34% | 25% | 13% | 6% |
| 300 | 0% | 11% | 24% | 27% | 20% | 19% |
| 400 | 0% | 0% | 5% | 15% | 22% | 58% |
| 500 | 0% | 0% | 2% | 9% | 17% | 72% |
| 600 | 0% | 0% | 0% | 1% | 5% | 94% |
Should You Pull for Kitasan Black?
If you’re keen on acquiring Kitasan Black and have the required Carats, go ahead and pull for her. Just remember that until you can elevate Kitasan Black to level 50, she may not perform exceptionally well. Interestingly, at level 40, King Halo (SR) matches the strength of Kitasan Black (SSR). Therefore, if you’re unsure about fully upgrading Kitasan Black, it might be wiser to hold onto your Carats and ask other players who have already levelled her up to lend you Kitasan Black at level 50.
