Biwa Hayahide is one of the strongest horse girls in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, and her abilities as a Medium/Long-distance Pace Chaser sets her apart from the rest of the game’s roster. Biwa Hayahide still needs the right set of Support Cards and skills to win races, though, soshe’s not a one-way ticket to victory for Umamusumetrainers.
Haru Urara is one of the most popular Umamusume characters, and she’s a solid late-race runner that can pull off some exciting victories.
Biwa Hayahide is a limited character, so she’s only available while her banner is still active. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for a rerun to get another chance to unlock her. Biwa Hayahide has a fairly straightforward game plan, so most Umamusume trainers should already have most of the Support Cards and strategies necessary to win with her in career mode.
Best Stats for Biwa Hayahide
Biwa Hayahide is a Medium/Long distance Pace Chaser (with a B rating for Late Surger), so she needs a lot of Speed and Power to come out on top of the competition. As always, prioritize Speed above all else. It’s the most important stat for all Umamusume characters, and Biwa Hayahide is no different.
Power is the second most important stat for Biwa Hayahide since she’ll need to pass plenty of other Umamusume in the final stretch of a race. Guts also helps here, but it’s not as important. Biwa Hayahide does have a 10% bonus to her Guts growth rate, though, so you won’t need to devote as much time to it.
Wit is also pretty important for Biwa Hayahide, but you don’t need to train it that often. She has a 20% Wit growth rate bonus by default, and most Umamusume don’t need that much Wit to activate their skills during races. Biwa Hayahide makes use of more skills than the average racer, though, so don’t neglect Wit.
Stamina is important for Biwa Hayahide since she specializes in some of the longest races the game has to offer, but most of her Stamina recovery will come from skills. You should still train Stamina to make sure she has a solid baseline to work with, but skills like Stamina to Spare and Deep Breaths will help her maintain her energy until she needs it in the final stretch.
Best Support Cards for Biwa Hayahide
The best Support Card deck for Biwa Hayahide includes four Speed cards and a mixture of Power and Guts cards to fill in the remaining slots. You can even toss in a Wit Support Card to get some extra skills under her belt, especially some Stamina recovery abilities.

Nishino Flower (Speed)
Fine Motion (Wit)
Tokai Teio (Speed)

Gold Ship (Stamina)
Air Shakur (Wit)
Both Special Week SSR Support Cards are great fits for Biwa Hayahide since they come with multiple Stamina recovery skills and Speed boosts for the last spurt of races. Super Creek also remains one of the best Support Cards for Stamina recovery thanks to her Swinging Maestro skill, so she can fit into Biwa Hayahide’s deck even though Stamina cards aren’t ideal. Fine Motion is another excellent choice for Biwa Hayahide as well, since her Speed Star skill is great for Pace Chasers.
