As you can guess, a lot of players are excited for it and are already setting up their Umas. This includes using the right skills depending on the styles of your Uma. However, not all Umas are equal with some of them being for the race – based on the info we have for it so far. To help you out, we’ll be going over a tier list that talks about the best characters for the Virgo Cup specifically. Without further delay, let’s get into it!
CM5 Virgo Tier List
There are 29 Umas that we’ll be looking at for the Virgo Cup and ranking them based on their skills and usefulness. If you’re more interested about the current scenario that came out recently, check out our unity cup scenario guide.
With that said, here is the CM5 Virgo Cup Tier List.
S Tier
- Summer Maruzensky (Front Runner)
- Sakura Bakushin O (Front Runner)
- Vodka (Late Surger)
- Smart Falcon (Front Runner)
- Mejiro Ryan (Late Surger)
- Grass Wonder (Late Surger)
Explanation: These are the most powerful and consistent runners you can bring to the Virgo Cup. They’re reliable picks across a variety of race scenarios. This is mainly due to their raw stats alongside skill activation and timing. As a result, they are the top choices for winning your races.
A Tier
- Daiwa Scarlet (Front Runner)
- Seiun Sky (Front Runner)
- El Condor Pasa (Late Surger)
- Curren Chan (Front Runner or Pace Chaser)
- Silent Suzuka (Front Runner)
- Narita Tashin (End Closer)
- Meisho Doto (Pace Chaser)
Explanation: The runners here are still excellent, but may require specific trainings and strategies to bring out their best. They have solid stats and skill sets – and with careful planning you can use them in the meta. We recommend picking them if you already have them trained, or have a certain preference.
B Tier
- Oguri Cap (Late Surger)
- Mayano Top Gun (Pace Chaser)
- Gold Ship (End Closer)
- Fuji Kiseki (Late Surger)

- Special Week (Late Surger)
- Wedding Air Groove (Late Surger)
- Eishin Flash (Late Surger)
- Agnes Digital (Late Surger)
- Matikanefukukitaru (Late Surger)
Explanation: These runners are mostly situational. They can certainly work well if you use the right build or favorable race conditions – but still lack consistency. These runners often need stronger support cards or inheritance to reach their potential. But they are still viable picks for certain strategies.
C Tier
- Hishi Amazon (End Closer)
- Mihono Bourbon (Front Runner)
- Winning Ticket (Late Surger)
Explanation: These runners are hard to make competitive in their current states for the Virgo Cup. While they can still be trained for niche strategies, they’re generally less effective compared to higher tier options.
