Umamusume Days Flying By is live as a new story event with a separate event-point reward track. The headline rewards include an exclusive Support Card and Rainbow Crystal Shards earned by progressing through the event.

Umamusume: confirmed details

Two Spotlight Scouts accompany the story. The trainee banner features three-star Agnes Digital and Meisho Doto in new racewear, while the Support Card banner introduces SSR cards for Mejiro Palmer and Daitaku Helios. Scout results remain random despite their featured status.

What changes for players

The event gives non-spending players a fixed progression target through the exclusive Support Card, while the scouts offer optional roster and support additions. Keeping those routes separate matters: accumulating event points does not guarantee either featured three-star trainee.

Timing and wider context

Cygames announced the event August 18. Exact end times, point thresholds and scout rates should be verified in the in-game notices before using currency or stamina. The story event and Spotlight Scouts can have different deadlines. Players should also verify whether unclaimed point rewards remain available after the story period ends.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 18, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.
