A Rank
B Rank

The Gemini Cup Tier List is subject to changes.

Skill Strength Umas with highly desirable skills, such as Gold Ship for her Go Home-Specialist and Narita Taishin for Encroaching Shadow, will find themselves rated higher on the list. This covers innate skills and potential skills.
Aptitude Specialty Umas who have the natural aptitude for the upcoming/current Champions Meeting course will be rated higher on the list.
Role-Appropriate Umamusume who can serve very well in specific roles in a team of 3, such as Oguri Cap for an Ace or Nice Nature for a Debuffer, will be rated higher on the list.

Tier List Criteria above covers the relevant current or upcoming Champions Meeting. Character Tier Lists are updated toward the end or after a current Champions Meeting.

Above is the projected Tier List of the Gemini Cup. The Gemini Cup will be a Long race, so End Closers, having stronger acceleration at the last spurt and better stamina management, are expected to be the strong picks for the race.

Above information is based on the current Champions Meeting Taurus Cup.

For training Umamusume, we recommend you at least hit the above training stats in career for your Champions Meeting Umas. Stamina is vital to this game mode, since having low Stamina means that your Uma will either underperform towards the end of a race, or will be slowed down by debuffers in a race.

ⓘ For pink sparks, Distance aptitude is the most important. This can then be followed by Surface aptitude and lastly Style aptitude.

Above information is based on the current Champions Meeting Taurus Cup.

The most important component to having strong Champions Meeting Umamusume is having strong legacies. This means maximizing your sparks and inheriting strong skills.

It is recommended to already have 2 strong native legacies already in your catalogue, but you have only 1 or none, we recommend you borrow a strong one by following a Trainer with a strong Star Umamusume. You can check to see if there are any suitable Umas you can borrow in the Friend ID Sharing Board below!

Friend ID Sharing Board

Emulate Races in Room Match

Champions Meeting Practice in Room Match

The best way to see how well your choice Champions Meeting Umamusume will be doing is by racing others in Room Match. You can participate in public lobbies where the held matches are set to closely emulate an upcoming Champions Meeting race.

You can also do this with private lobbies to train together with friends, or even in Clubs. The most common rule for setting these type of matches is:

  • Rounds will always have only up to 9 players in a race.
  • Random mood if you wish to emulate 1st and 2nd rounds.
  • Great mood if you wish to emulate the final round.

Champions Meeting Mechanics

Some information is based on existing Champions Meeting requirements from our JP team.
