The Promised Hour: Silks and Three Riddles is the latest story event in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, and it brings with it some excellent new additions to the game. During this story event, you’ll be able to obtain the SSR Support Wit Card [Day I Dreamed Of] Rice Shower for free. Furthermore, you can also roll on the event versions of Curren Chan and Fine Motion trainees. The event lasts from May 18 to May 29.
The Promised Hour Event Rewards
The Promised Hour brings an Event Points ladder and a prize roulette, similar to most story events. You can get a ton of Carats, as well as Rainbow Crystal Shards, through the event points ladder. Meanwhile, the Prize Derby offers Carats, alongside Gold Crystal Shards and other resources. You’ll need Prize Coins to roll on the Prize Derby Roulette, which can be obtained by completing daily missions.
For event points, you’ll have to complete career runs. If you consume 2x Trainer Points, you can obtain twice the number of Event Points on a successful career run. Furthermore, you can boost the event points rewards at the end of a career run by using event-featured trainees and Support Cards. Using the following trainees, or any Support Card featuring these trainees, will provide an event bonus with respect to the rarity and the number of stars or copies that you have:
- Rice Shower
- Fine Motion
- Curren Chan
- Ikuno Dictus
- Haru Urara
Featured Support Cards Banner
You can also roll on the Featured Support Cards banner to obtain [Sunny Passion] Haru Urara and [Beloved Orchid Bouquet] Ikuno Dictus SSR Support Cards. Both of these cards are great for Late Surgers. Haru Urara’s Support Card is good, as it provides 10% Race Bonus and Training Effectiveness when maxed out.
[Beloved Orchid Bouquet] Ikuno Dictus is an excellent SSR Stamina Support Card due to the chunky Training Effectiveness that it provides, alongside the 10% Race Bonus. It has some good skills for Late Surgers, and its unique perk can boost your Training Effectiveness by 20% at max, depending on your bond with other support cards during a career run.
Featured Trainees
The event banner for trainees features [Ma Cherie of the New Moon] Curren Chan and [Titania] Fine Motion. This version of Curren Chan is excellent for Sprint races and is also competitively viable for Team Trials and Sprint Champions Meetings.
Curren Chan comes with some great debuff skills on maxed-out potential. She also has the Turbo Sprint skill built into her kit, so you won’t need the Sakura Bakushin O SSR Support Card to get it. Furthermore, her unique skill is also great for breaking out of the pack, and can be a decent acceleration skill for other Umamusume.
[Titania] Fine Motion excels at Mile and Medium races. You won’t be able to use the Fine Motions SSR Support Wit Card with her, but she has a 20% Growth Bonus on Wit. Furthermore, she also has some great Mile skills, making her a good option for Team Trials.
