2. Seasonal Themed Banners (Full Year)

• Spring (Apr–May): Sakura-themed limited reruns, featuring classic characters like Sakura Chiyono O and Mejiro Ryan, with spring event exclusive support cards.

• Summer (Jun–Aug): New and rerun swimsuit limited characters, plus new Speed/Strength-type SSR supports ideal for long-distance training.

• Autumn (Sep–Oct): Classic Triple Crown rerun banners. Popular meta characters like Gold Ship and Air Groove return, alongside new scenario-limited cards.

• Winter (Nov–Dec): Christmas / Year-End welfare banners with free multi-pulls and rate-up boosts. A powerful limited Uma Musume will debut as the year-end highlight.

3. Starlight Collection & Permanent Reruns (Year-Round Rotation)

• Top-tier popular characters such as Kitasan Black, Gold City, Oguri Cap, and Tokai Teio rotate monthly in the Starlight Collection.1–2 classic characters are added each quarter, balancing both strength and collection value.

4. Global Server Exclusive Plan (1–2 Months Delayed)

• Progression: Major banners from JP launch 1–2 months later on Global, with consistent order and no version gaps.

• Exclusive Welfare: Mid-season bonus banners, slightly increased SSR rates, and beginner-friendly free multi-pulls to help new accounts progress faster.

• Anniversary Special: Global will host its own independent reruns of popular characters and release commemorative support cards.

 5. Second Half Highlights (Jul–Dec)

• July: New Uma Musume + new scenario mode collaboration banner.

• September: Breeders’ Cup themed banner.

• December: Year-end & New Year dual banners. The pace is dense with high-priority banners, so we recommend saving crystals early for your targets.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are Global and JP servers cross-compatible?

No, they are completely separate — data, banners, and crystals are not shared.

2. Does the rate increase near the end of a banner?

No, rates are fixed for the entire duration. There is no “late-pull luck” mechanic.

3. Will JP anniversary characters come to Global?

Yes, they will arrive with a 1–2 month delay.

4. Is the Starlight Collection worth pulling?

It is great for collectors. Not recommended for players focused only on meta strength due to lower rates.

5. Does pity carry over to the next banner?

No, pity resets immediately when a banner ends.

6. Should new players pull for characters or supports first?

Prioritize support cards — they provide more overall account power.

 

Conclusion

In Uma Musume, more than building an unbeatable team, the real endgame challenge is saving your crystals from being drained by nonstop banners. The banner schedule is extremely fast, so you don’t need to pull for every one.

Plan rationally, focus on your core must-have characters, and play smart. We hope every trainer pulls their favorite Uma at the right time, steadily strengthens their team, and enjoys the game.
