Knowing which Umas to chase can completely reshape your Kick an Uma economy, because every rarity color in the Kick an Uma rarity list ties directly to stats, base Cash output, and the distance your next kick can reach. The game currently runs the [CHARACTER REHAUL] build, so older drop rates no longer apply and a fresh look at the color tiers is overdue for anyone who treats their base as a long-term Cash engine. This guide breaks down every color in the order it appears on screen, then ranks the rarest Uma worth prioritizing and the strongest Umas you can still unlock through codes, milestones, and zone progression.
How Rarity Colors Work in Kick an Uma
Each Uma you collect inherits one of seven rarity colors, and the color is the single fastest signal of how much Cash that unit will produce once it sits on a base pad. The official game loop — kick farther, reach new zones, discover rarer Umas, place them on your base to earn Cash — makes color the bridge between exploration power and idle income. When you read a color, you are reading the unit's Power Stat, Kick Power contribution, and Cash per second all at once.
The Seven Color Tiers at a Glance
Players have reported the following color order from most common to rarest. Exact drop rates shift between patches, so treat these as the working baseline of the [CHARACTER REHAUL] build as of September 2026.
| Color | Tier Label | Relative Power | Typical Drop Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gray | Common | Lowest | Early zones, free base packs |
| Green | Uncommon | Low | Early zone rerolls, starter crates |
| Blue | Rare | Mid-low | Mid-range zones, daily streak rewards |
| Purple | Epic | Mid-high | Late zones, milestone crates |
| Yellow | Legendary | High | Hard-to-reach zones, weekend events |
| Red | Mythic | Very high | Special banners, very rare rolls |
| Gold | Ultra | Highest | Seasonal banners, anniversary drops |
Power Stat vs Cash per Second
The two numbers you actually care about are Power Stat (how much kick force the Uma adds to your character) and Cash per second (how much idle income the Uma pays while it sits on a base pad). Higher colors always have a higher baseline for both, but the gap between tiers widens dramatically at the top — a single Gold Uma can outperform a dozen Gray units on the same pad type. Community testing suggests the cash gap follows a roughly geometric curve: each color tier pays roughly 2x to 3x the previous tier's per-second Cash.
Why Color Matters for the Kick Loop
Rarity color also decides how useful a unit is during the active kick phase, not only the idle phase. A Purple or higher Uma boosts your character's Kick Power, which lets you send Umas farther, which lets you reach the next zone, which is where the next color up actually drops. The loop self-reinforces: chasing higher colors raises your Kick Power, and higher Kick Power is the only way to keep encountering higher colors.
Kick an Uma Rarity List by Color and Power
Sorting the Kick an Uma rarity colors strictly by combat usefulness produces a stable ranking, but the order shifts when you weight by Cash per second instead. The table below ranks the top examples of each color, blending both stats so the list is useful for both kickers and idle-base builders. If you are still setting up your base, the how to place Umas guide covers pad types and which colors actually benefit from upgraded green pads.
| Color | Example Uma | Power Stat (est.) | Cash/sec (est.) | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gray | Basic Trainer | 1.0x | 1.0x | Placeholder, sell fodder |
| Green | Mejiro Palmer (code) | 1.4x | 1.6x | Early-game bridge unit |
| Blue | Starter Lineage Uma | 1.8x | 2.2x | Mid-game base filler |
| Purple | Curren Chan (code) | 2.5x | 3.0x | Strong kicker + solid income |
| Yellow | Mid-tier Banner Uma | 3.2x | 4.0x | Hard-zone clearer |
| Red | High-tier Banner Uma | 4.2x | 5.5x | Boss-zone enabler |
| Gold | Anniversary / Seasonal Uma | 5.5x+ | 7.0x+ | Endgame anchor unit |
The estimated Power Stat and Cash/sec values come from community testing reported on the official Discord, not from a hard dev-published formula, so treat the ratios as directional rather than exact. What is consistent across every report is the shape of the curve: each step up is meaningful, and skipping a color tier is almost never worth the saved reroll currency.
Code Umas and Where They Sit on the Color Ladder
Codes drop a small but reliable batch of named Umas that map cleanly to the color tiers. As of the September 2026 patch, the working codes and their colors are:
| Code | Reward Uma | Color Tier | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1000CARATS | 1,000 Carats (currency) | — | Buy rolls, not a direct Uma |
| 30KGROUP | Mejiro Palmer | Green | Free starter, only if you join the 30 dollar games group |
| 300KVISITS | Curren Chan | Purple | Largest free Cash boost in the active code pool |
All three codes are redeemed through the on-screen Codes button exactly as listed, with capitalization and digits enforced. According to Game Rant's Kick an Uma codes hub, each code is normally one use per account, and new codes usually drop alongside the developer group's visit milestones, so the active pool changes often. Joining the 30 dollar games Roblox group is a hard prerequisite for 30KGROUP, which is why that code is the most commonly missed one in casual playthroughs.
Kick an Uma Strongest Umas Right Now
If you want a short list of units to funnel resources into, the strongest Umas in the current build cluster around the highest colors you can realistically obtain without spending Robux. Endgame power is still gated by Kick Power and Weight upgrades, both of which are amplified by high-color Umas on your active team. The same is true on the income side: a tight roster of two or three top-color Umas will out-earn a wide roster of mixed-color filler, which is exactly the trade-off explored in the Kick an Uma tier list.
Top 5 Umas by Combined Power + Cash
| Rank | Uma | Color | Best Role | Why It Ranks Here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seasonal Gold Uma | Gold | Anchor | Highest Cash/sec in the current banner |
| 2 | Red Banner Uma | Red | Kicker | Best Kick Power per slot, clears late zones |
| 3 | Curren Chan (code) | Purple | Bridge | Free, top of the Purple band, immediate Cash uplift |
| 4 | Yellow Hard-Zone Uma | Yellow | Zone clearer | Unlocks the next zone tier for higher drop chances |
| 5 | Mejiro Palmer (code) | Green | Starter | Free, dramatically better than Gray filler |
Free-to-Play Ceiling
For a no-spend account, your realistic ceiling is Yellow on a good banner cycle and Red only when the developer posts a milestone code. Gold Umas rotate seasonally and are not part of the permanent pool, which is why community reports treat Gold units as event-locked rather than farmable. The implication is that the strongest free-to-play team is one Yellow carry, one Red flex, Curren Chan as a permanent Purple bridge, and Mejiro Palmer in the Green slot for early Cash flow.
Rarest Uma You Can Actually Unlock
The rarest Uma in the current build is the Gold-tier seasonal unit, because it appears only during a narrow banner window and cannot be earned after the window closes. A few specific Umas have also been confirmed as permanent rare drops at very low rates, which is a different kind of rarity — they are always in the pool, but the odds are steep. The two categories matter because they reward different strategies: seasonal Umas want you to log in during the window, while permanent rare drops reward long-term zone grinding.
Banner-Limited vs Permanent Rare Drops
| Type | Example | Source | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banner-limited | Seasonal Gold Uma | Limited event banner | Log in during the window, spend rolls on that banner |
| Permanent rare | Red Late-Zone Uma | Specific late-game zone | Keep grinding Kick Power until you can reach the zone consistently |
| Code-only | Curren Chan | 300KVISITS code | Redeem once before the code pool rotates |
| Milestone-only | Group Bonus Uma | 30 dollar games group | Join the group, then claim when the milestone hits |
Where to Spend Your Carats
Carats are the soft currency that drives rerolls, and the right spend changes based on what you are chasing. If you want a permanent rare drop, spend Carats on the zone-specific banner for that late-game zone so every roll contributes to the rare unit's pity counter. If you want a seasonal Gold Uma, save Carats for the seasonal banner's opening day, because early-banner pity counters are usually fresh and the rate of Gold appearances spikes in the first 24 hours. According to community reports on the official Discord, mixing rolls across banners is the most common mistake new players make, because partial pity does not carry over.
Practical Tips for Building Around the Rarity List
A rarity list is only useful if you build your base and kicker around it, not just stare at the colors. The Kick an Uma Uma income breakdown goes deeper on which colors actually pay off once you factor in pad upgrades and the time cost of waiting for higher tiers to drop. A few rules of thumb hold across every reported build:
-
Sell Gray duplicates immediately — they are placeholders, not investments. The Kick an Uma sell Umas walkthrough covers the exact sell menu path if you have not used it yet.
-
Place at least one Purple or higher on every green pad — green pads multiply Cash per second, so the multiplier hits hardest on already-strong units.
-
Keep a balanced active team — two top-color Umas plus one mid-color Cash anchor outperforms three top-color units that all sit on the same pad type.
-
Save Carats for one banner at a time — spreading rolls across banners wastes pity progress.
-
Redeem codes on day one of a new pool — codes silently expire when a banner closes, and the Kick an Uma best code Uma analysis tracks which rewards are still claimable.
Reading the Cash per Second Curve
The Kick an Uma cash per second Umas curve follows the same shape as the Power Stat curve but with a steeper top end. A Gold Uma can pay back its roll cost in idle Cash in a fraction of the time a Purple unit would, which is why the [CHARACTER REHAUL] build is widely considered a Cash-positive patch even without a Whale banner. If you are deciding between a second Yellow Uma and a single Gold banner pull, the math usually favors the Gold pull on any account that can clear the early banner missions consistently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest color in the Kick an Uma rarity list?
The highest color currently in the active pool is Gold, reserved for seasonal and anniversary banner Umas. Gold Umas are event-locked, not farmable, and they are the only color tier that sits clearly above Red in both Power Stat and Cash per second based on community testing as of the September 2026 patch.
How many rarity colors are there in Kick an Uma?
There are seven colors in the working baseline: Gray, Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Red, and Gold. The order is consistent across community reports, but exact drop rates shift between patches, so treat the order as stable and the percentages as approximate until the developer publishes official numbers.
Which Uma is the rarest permanent drop?
The rarest permanent drop is the Red late-zone Uma, which only appears in specific high-tier zones. You need enough Kick Power to reach those zones consistently, which is why chasing a Red permanent drop is really a Kick Power and Weight upgrade problem before it is a reroll problem.
Do codes give the rarest Umas?
Codes give reliable mid-tier units, not the absolute rarest. The 30KGROUP code gives a Green starter and 300KVISITS gives a Purple unit (Curren Chan), which is the strongest free permanent code reward in the active pool. Seasonal Gold Umas are still gated by banner pulls, not codes.
Is the rarity list the same as the tier list?
No. The rarity list orders Umas by color and drop accessibility, while the Kick an Uma tier list ranks them by combined combat and income performance, which can elevate a Purple code Uma above a poorly rolled Yellow. Treat the rarity list as the source-of-truth for drop odds, and the tier list as the source-of-truth for which units to actually invest in once you have them.
