Skills are incredibly important in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, and the general consensus among the community is that Swinging Maestro is one of the strongest skills in the game. This unassuming Umamusume stamina recovery skill can greatly enhance the performance of basically any character, and it's a must-have for most builds.
There are plenty of energy recovery skills in Umamusume, however, so what sets Swinging Maestro apart from the others? It's a rare ability from an SSR Support Card, but there are similar SSR Support Card abilities that aren't nearly as sought after as Swinging Maestro. What makes it so special, and how do you get Swinging Maestro for your Umamusume?
How to Get A-Rank in Umamusume Pretty Derby
If you want A-rank horsegirls in Umamusume Pretty Derby, here’s a simple guide to help you achieve that without being a pay-to-win player.
How to Get Swinging Maestro in Umamusume
Swinging Maestro is unlocked via a career event from the Super Creek SSR Support Card in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. If you bring Super Creek in your Support Card deck, you'll get skill hints and unlock Swinging Maestro whenever the associated event occurs.
It's an improved version of the Corner Recovery skill, so unlocking that will reduce the skill point cost of Swinging Maestro significantly. It's well worth the upgrade, though, and Swinging Maestro will basically take care of all your stamina recovery needs.
Why is Swinging Maestro So Good in Umamusume?
Swinging Maestro is the best energy recovery skill in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. That alone is enough to make it valuable, but it's also the lack of restrictions that truly makes it one of the game's best Support Card abilities. Swinging Maestro randomly recovers energy when your Umamusume is running along a corner. There are so many corners on every track — especially if you run longer distances — so it has a chance of activating for most of the race.
In addition, there aren't any other criteria to fulfill for Swinging Maestro to activate. You don't have to choose a specific racing style like Pace Chaser or Front Runner, and you don't have to be on a specific track type or distance. It works in every scenario. It's unbelievably strong for both career mode and PVP Team Trials.
All of these things combine to create one of the strongest skills in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. You can borrow a Support Card from another player before starting a career, so it's highly recommended to steal someone else's Super Creek card just to get Swinging Maestro. People share their Friend IDs all the time online, so you shouldn't have much trouble finding someone who has a MLB Super Creek Support Card for you to use.
