Umamusume: Pretty Derby has dropped its latest story event a few days ago, called “Tonight at the Ligne Droite”, the entire occasion is comprised of several ballroom-themed training scenarios featuring exclusive variants of Seiun Sky (Soirée des Chatons) and Fuji Kiseki (Succès Étoilé).
The idea for this limited-time engagement is to help players to complete Careers and Team Races to accumulate Event Points and Prize Coins, all of which unlock a special narrative and a suite of high-tier rewards. Not only that, but this event also brings opportunities to Max Limit Break (MLB) support cards and farming rare materials, so it’s a win-win situation in any context.
And now you’ve got a guide to blaze through it; here’s everything you need to know about the event.
Event Availability and Duration
According to the official description provided by Cygames, the main gameplay phase for “Tonight at the Ligne Droite” begins on April 5, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. (UTC) and concludes on April 18, 2026, at 9:59 p.m. (UTC). Trainers must earn all desired Event Points (EP) during this window, as EP cannot be carried over to future story events.
A short reward collection period follows immediately after the event ends, running from April 18, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. (UTC) until April 21, 2026, at 9:59 p.m. (UTC). Once this collection period expires, any remaining Prize Coins are automatically converted into monies.
How To Unlock The “Tonight at the Ligne Droite” Event
Trainers can unlock the event and its features by completing Careers within any available training scenario, such as URA Finale or Unity Cup. As you accumulate EP, you will automatically unlock and be able to watch episodes of an event-exclusive story, providing background on the ballroom setting.
The event is accessible to any player who has finished the initial game tutorial. For those looking for specific localized details or mission progress, the “Help” icon on the top-right of the event screen provides further guidance.
How to Play and Earn Event Points
The “Tonight at the Ligne Droite” event runs on a simple loop of sorts: you complete training runs (Careers), win Team Races and clear special event missions.
For every one of those, Event Points (EP) are calculated using three metrics: your trained Umamusume’s final rating, the epithets earned, and total race wins. The Umamusume’s final rating is the most significant factor, offering a one-to-one conversion where a 15k rating grants 15k base points.
Furthermore, point efficiency is heavily boosted by owning specific Event Bonus support cards and Umamusume. A recent quality-of-life update automatically applies the highest possible bonus based on the cards in your collection, even if they are not in your active training deck.
Finally, Max Limit Broken (MLB) gacha cards like SSR Symboli Rudolf or SSR Sirius Symboli provide a 45% bonus, while even R-rank cards should be uncapped to provide up to a 12% bonus each.
The Prize Derby and Bingo Features
Another aspect of the event resides on the Careers races, where trainers earn Prize Coins used for the Prize Derby bingo minigame. Filling lines on the bingo sheets rewards items like Gold Crystal Shards, while clearing the first three sheets provides essential copies of the event’s exclusive SSR card.
One “pity” feature ensures that if a sheet remains incomplete after 25 spins, all subsequent spins are guaranteed to land on missing segments. Trainers can also use the Auto Spin function, accessible via the Options button, which continues spinning until coins are depleted, an 8-line bingo is reached, or the card’s spin quota is fulfilled.
Event Missions and Exclusive Rewards
The event includes daily missions—such as winning any race during training—and one-time missions that reward massive EP and items. Key mission milestones include winning 60 races during training or reaching a cumulative score of 3 million in Team Stadium matches. Newly added rewards for this iteration include Books and Textbooks of Hints, used to upgrade skill levels.
The ultimate goal for many is reaching 1,000,000 Event Points to claim 1,500 Carats. Vital milestones include 400,000 points for enough copies to MLB the SSR [Mag!c Number] Air Shakur and 920,000 points for three Rainbow Crystal Shards. Air Shakur is a Speed-type support card tailored for Chaser-style Umamusume, featuring skills like “Serene Chaser” and “Straight Shot”.
Final Thoughts
All in all, the “Tonight at the Ligne Droite” event is a pretty standard story-based opportunity. Much like other gacha titles, this one represents a critical window for long-term account progression, primarily due to the rare materials found deep in the point track.
The potential benefits really make your game profile shine in the long run, thanks to the possibility of gaining important items and cards — like the SSR [Mag!c Number] Air Shakur — ensuring every player has access to a specialized Speed-type support card tailored for Chaser strategies, an otherwise difficult niche to fulfill, especially if you’re mainly a free-to-play player.
Beyond the raw rewards, this event serves as a turning point in farming efficiency due to the introduction of permanent quality-of-life improvements. The automatic event bonus system allows trainers to maximize their point gain, while mechanics like Auto Spin and the 25-spin “pity” guarantee for bingo sheets remove much of the randomness that previously frustrated players during story events.
