How to Gain More Fans

Participate in G1 Races to gain more fans in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Learn more how to gain fans efficiently, all the recommended Umamusume, support cards, races as well as benefits of gaining more fans and how to check your current fan count.

How to Gain Fans Efficiently

Win G1 Races in Career Mode

G1 Races

The main way to get fans is to participate in races, particulary in the G1 grade. G1 races give more fans than any other races, so make sure to raise the appropriate stats of your trainee to have higher chances of winning.

List of All Races (G1, G2, G3, EX)

Medium and Long Races Give More Fans

Medium and Long distance races give more fans compared to Sprint and Mile even in the same grade. Focus on entering these races to gain more fans, especially if you are training an Umamusume with high aptitude on Medium and Long races.

Ranking 2nd or Lower will Give Less Fans

Regardless of the grade of the race, there is a huge difference in the number of fans you gain between 1st place and lower. The lower you place, the fewer the amount of fans you get.

Make sure to rank first place in every race you enter by training the appropriate stats.

Training Guide: Which Stats to Train?

Use Support Cards with High Fan Bonus

Fan Bonus Card

The Fan Bonus effect of Support Cards will increase the fans that you gain from races if you use these cards during your Career. The current maximum Fan Bonus per support card is 20% (when fully uncapped), so it is possible to reach 120% Fan Bonus albeit will be difficult to obtain because of the Gacha system.
