Best Ways to Level Up Support Cards
Getting 'Support Effects' is Important
By leveling up Support Cards, you can acquire "Support Effects" that give you an advantage in your Career. Therefore, you should level them up to activate multiple Support Effects.
▲There are various Support Effects. One example is Mood Effect.
Level Up in a Balanced Way
Aim to Acquire Support Effects up to Lv15
The number of items required to level up a Support Card increases with each level. It's recommended to acquire the Support Effects that can be obtained between Lv10 and Lv15, where the item cost is low. Aim for higher-level Support Effects once you have a surplus of items.
▲Leveling up to Lv30 consumes a lot of items.
▲The cost to reach Lv15 is less than 1/5 of the cost to reach Lv30.
Level Up the 5 Cards in Your Deck
Leveling up Support Cards is crucial for advancing in your Career. Instead of focusing on leveling up a single card, it's recommended to level up all 5 cards in your deck evenly to gain multiple Support Effects.
Level Up More for Team Trials
You Can Get a Support Bonus
The Support Bonus is a bonus applied to your score in Team Trials. You can get this bonus every 5 levels starting from Support Card Lv20. Therefore, it's recommended to level up in increments of 5.
How to Level Up Support Cards
Support Points and Monies are Required
To level up Support Cards, you need Support Points (SP) and Monies. The amount of SP and Monies required increases with each level, so SP and Monies can be easily depleted.
Career Mode Also Gives EXP
You can also receive Support Card EXP as a reward after finishing an Umamusume's Career. The amount of EXP you get isn't very large, but it's one way to level up low-level Support Cards without using SP and Monies.

Effects and Benefits of Leveling Up
Support Effects are Unlocked
By leveling up Support Cards, Support Effects are unlocked. These added effects will give you an advantage in your Umamusume's Career, so try to level up your Support Cards as much as possible before starting a Career.
Upgrade Support Effects
In addition to unlocking new Support Effects, you can also strengthen the potency of already unlocked Support Effects. For characters with excellent Support Effects, you'll want to level them up as much as possible.

Uncap Levels
You Can Acquire New Support Effects
You can Uncap cards by using duplicate Support Cards obtained from Scouts and other means. By performing an Uncap, the Support Card's level cap is raised, and you can acquire new Support Effects.
