Uma Musume: Pretty Derby – Daiwa Scarlet SSR Power Support Card Guide (2026)
Daiwa Scarlet’s SSR Power support card (often called Number 1 Outfit or Scarlet Sky version, released around April 2026) is a solid Power-type support focused on friendship training efficiency and late-race acceleration. It shines in decks for Front Runner or Pace Chaser Uma Musume, especially on medium-distance tracks, thanks to its strong Friendship Bonus and the rare skill Neck and Neck (鍔迫り合い).
In this complete guide, you’ll learn the card’s full stats and effects, unique bonus, recommended training setups, event choices, skill hints, and how to use it effectively in 2026 meta (including Trackblazer scenarios).
Daiwa Scarlet SSR Power Card Overview
- Rarity: SSR
- Type: Power
- Release: Limited banner (April 2026, often paired with SR Sweep Tosho)
Key Strengths:
- Excellent Friendship Bonus (up to 35% at max awakening) — great for fast bond building and group training.
- Unique Effect: Power Bonus (equivalent to +2 Power) when Friendship Gauge ≥ 80. This kicks in mid-training and boosts Power gains significantly.
- Rare Skill: Neck and Neck — Increases acceleration when positioned toward the front in the late race (strong for maintaining or overtaking in the final stretch).
- Decent Race Bonus (up to 10%) and Initial Friendship Gauge (up to 30).
- Hint Level and Frequency bonuses help acquire useful skills like front-runner positioning and acceleration hints.
Weaknesses:
- No Training Effectiveness or Specialty Priority — she won’t appear more often in Power training or boost overall training efficiency.
- Lacks Stamina or Speed direct bonuses, so pair her with strong Speed/Stamina cards.

Unique Perk: At Friendship 80+, gain Power Bonus ×2. This makes her very strong once bonds are high — prioritize friendship training early.
Rare Skill: Neck and Neck (鍔迫り合い)
- Effect: Boosts acceleration when your Uma is near the front in the late race.
- Excellent for Front Runner strategies where you want to pull away or hold position in the final straight.
- Pairs well with Daiwa Scarlet’s own character unique skill (Red Ace / Resplendent Red Ace), which activates in the second half when leading or chasing closely.
Other event skills include Feature Act (velocity boost near front in late race) and Up-Tempo (positioning boost mid-race for front runners).
How to Use Daiwa Scarlet SSR in Training Decks
This card excels in Power-heavy or balanced Speed/Power decks for Front Runner / Pace Chaser Uma Musume on Mile to Medium distances.
Recommended Deck Setups (6 Support Cards):
- Classic Front Runner (Mile/Medium): 3–4 Speed + 1–2 Power (including this Daiwa Scarlet) + 1 Stamina or Wit.

- Trackblazer / High-End: Mix with high-friendship cards; use her for consistent Power gains once bonds hit 80+.
Strong Synergies:
- Speed cards like Sweep Tosho (SR, rate-up on her banner) or other top Speed SSRs.
- Stamina supports (e.g., Super Creek) for recovery skills.
- Vodka (Power) for corner burst.
- Wit cards for skill point efficiency.
Target End-Game Stats (example for Medium Front Runner):
- Speed: 900–1100+

Event Choices & Training Tips
Daiwa Scarlet’s events often offer Speed + Power or Power-focused choices. Prioritize:
- Top options for Speed/Power boosts or Skill Points.
- Bottom options when needing bigger Power or a skill hint.
- Rest if Energy is low.
General Tips:
- Build Friendship early to activate her Power Bonus quickly.
- Use her in group training for high Friendship efficiency.
- She provides good hints for front-runner skills (positioning, acceleration, cornering).
- For URA Finals or Champions Meeting, focus on acceleration skills to complement Neck and Neck.
Should You Pull for Daiwa Scarlet SSR Power?
- Yes, if: You need a strong Friendship/Power support for Front Runner decks or lack Power options. Her 35% Friendship is competitive, and Neck and Neck is a reliable gold skill.
- Skip if: You already have MLB Power supports with better Training Effectiveness or Specialty Priority. She’s solid but not meta-defining due to missing QoL stats.
- The banner often includes rate-up on SR Sweep Tosho — good for F2P/Low-spend players.
Free-to-Play Note: Some older Daiwa Scarlet supports (SR or event versions) exist, but this 2026 SSR is a noticeable upgrade for Power training.
