A new Support Card Scout banner is now live in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, and the featured card is the SSR Mejiro Palmer. There are quite a few good Support Cards boosted on this banner as well, but the main draw of this Umamusume banner is Mejiro Palmer.
Since many Umamusume players are still trying to build their Support Card decks with new SSR horse girls to help them in career mode, Mejiro Palmer has caught a lot of people's attention. She's also one of the few SSR Guts Support Cards currently available in Umamusume. Should you pull for her, or save your Carats for upcoming Support Card banners?
Umamusume Pretty Derby - All Characters (& How to Unlock Them)
There are many characters you can unlock as Trainees or Veterans in Umamusume: Pretty Derby; this guide shows how to get them and their stats.
Should You Pull for Mejiro Palmer in Umamusume?
Mejiro Palmer is a Guts Support Card packed with skills for Front Runners. If your favorite Umamusume character is a Front Runner like Mihono Bourbon or Daiwa Scarlet, then she's a great fit and you should spend a few Carats to see if you can get her. Otherwise, you should probably save your Carats for future Support Cards.
There just aren't that many Front Runners in the current state of Umamusume compared to other racing styles, so your Carats will be better spent elsewhere for now. There are some great Support Cards coming up soon, too, and they'll have much more versatility than Mejiro Palmer. Still, if you need a Guts Support Card or a bunch of Front Runner or Long distance skills, she'll be a great fit for your deck.

The last five skills on the list require hints from Mejiro Palmer's career events. Vanguard Spirit is Mejiro Palmer's most important skill, and it's the biggest reason why she's so helpful for Front Runners. Combined with her other skills, like Keeping the Lead, a Front Runner who takes the lead early in a race will have no trouble staying there until the finish line.
As you can probably tell from her skill list, though, Mejiro Palmer doesn't really have much to offer horse girls with different racing styles. Plus, Guts Support Cards just aren't that great in Umamusume compared to other stat specialties. Mejiro Palmer does boost Power gains from training alongside Guts if you raise her Support Card to level 35, but it's not worth the time and Carats. You're better off focusing on your existing roster and grinding careers until a better option comes around.
