Manhattan Cafe is amongst the strongest racers for long distances in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. You can really utilize her stamina growth rate to get the right stats for her, and if you combine that with the correct skills then you will have an ace who will leave everyone behind in the test of endurance! Using our guide will help you build Manhattan Cafe just right.
Manhattan Cafe Best Stats

The stats you’re going to want to aim for are:
- Speed: 900+
- Stamina: 1000+
- Power: 700+
- Guts: 300+
- Wit: 500+
Manhattan Cafe is a late surger, so she shouldn’t be wasting a lot of stamina in the first place. If you have high recovery skills then around 800 would be enough, but try to aim above 1000 if you are aiming to win competitive races!
You will also need enough speed and acceleration to close the gap quickly from behind the pack. Primarily you need 900 speed to ensure high velocity, and around 700 power to avoid getting blocked and for gaining acceleration.
Guts isn’t as necessary to raise considering that you won’t run out of stamina. However, Wit can help Manhattan Cafe put herself in a good position, and also activate skills when needed.
Manhattan Cafe’s Best Support Cards and Skills

The best skill for Manhattan Cafe by far is Swinging Maestro, as it gives you massive stamina recovery. You can get this skill by equipping the Rice Shower (Power) SSR card or Super Creek (Stamina) SSR card.
Super Creek is particularly useful as it as some skills that activate later in the race, which works well for Manhattan Cafe’s late surging strategy. Using it along with Rice Shower gives you more chances of getting Swinging Maestro, whilst Rice Shower also has some debuffing skills.
Riko Kashimoto is another card which can help Manhattan Cafe achieve the correct stats by increasing stamina significantly during recreation. This card also gives you Rushing Gale skill, which helps you increase acceleration when the track is straight.
Zenno Rob Roy is a worthy speed card, as it gives you the Lie in Wait skill to recover stamina as a late surger. You should also increase her potential level so she can learn Stamina Siphon to steal stamina from other racers around her.
To increase Wit, consider Yukino Bijin support card, as it gives you the No Stopping Me skill which helps you position better in the later half of the race. Kitasan Black card is also another card to give you massive speed boosts and Professor of Curvature skill to increase velocity on the corner of the tracks.
If you don’t have these exact cards, consider some alternative cards that will give you late surging skills, or those that will help you recover stamina and gain acceleration in the latter half!
We hope our Umamusume: Pretty Derby Manhattan build guide was able to help you build a strong racer.
