Best Stats for Mejiro McQueen in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Mejiro McQueen is a Medium/Long distance runner that specializes in Pace Chasing, but she also has a respectable B rating as a Front Runner as well. You can play Mejiro McQueen in either of these roles and win races, especially since her unique skill applies to both running styles.

Speed is the most important stat for Mejiro McQueen, even more so than it is for other characters. She doesn't have any growth rate bonuses for it, so you need to devote as much time as possible to training her Speed stat. Friendship training is a must to make Mejiro McQueen as fast as possible. Your goal should be 800-1000 Speed for her.

As a long-distance runner, Mejiro McQueen also needs quite a bit of Stamina. Thankfully, she has a 20% growth rate bonus for Stamina and has some skills to help with energy management. Still, you should shoot for 800-1000 total Stamina for Mejiro McQueen.

Guts is the third pillar of Mejiro McQueen's stats, especially if you use her as a Pace Chaser. Guts comes into play at the end of a race when the girls are already tired, and that final burst of speed in the final stretch can be the difference between victory and defeat. It doesn't need to be too high since Speed and Stamina still do most of the heavy lifting, so you should be safe with roughly 500-700 Guts depending on your skills.

Power and Wit are edge cases for Mejiro McQueen. Power training will help her take corners more efficiently and break out of the pack to reach her ideal position, but you don't need to train it that often. Wit does need some training time, however, since skills are very important to Mejiro McQueen's play style. Aim for 400-500 points in these two stats.

Best Support Cards for Mejiro McQueen in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

The important thing to consider when developing your Mejiro McQueen Support Card deck is energy recovery.
