Not all horse girls are built the same, or are good at racing. So, here are the 5 Worst Characters in Umamusume Pretty Derby to avoid.

Umamusume Pretty Derby has a diverse cast of characters. Every horse girl represents a real-life racing horse with their unique set of skills and traits. Because of that, some Umamusume are not very good at what they do. With an eye-pleasing visual style and the quirky personalities of the horse girls appealing to gamers, many players might not identify the problematic ones from the bunch. That might result in a bad experience. That is why we have listed the five worst Umamsume Pretty Derby characters in this list, according to us.
5 Worst Characters in Umamusume Pretty Derby
Your primary goal in Umamusume Pretty Derby is to train your characters and build a successful career around them. However, not every trainee in the game is worth investing in. It is true that this article is completely subjective, and you might find some of the horse girls here suitable for your playstyle. However, we have curated this list with the general audience in mind, and the following Umamusumes can give anyone a struggling experience in the game.
1. Haru Urara

- Speed: 83
- Stamina: 58
- Power: 89
- Guts: 86
- Wit: 84
Haru Urara is one of the five free characters players get at the start of Umamusume Pretty Derby. She is one of the faces of the game and is universally adored. However, that does not mean that Haru Urara is a skilled racer. This particular horse girl has quite low base stats, which makes her quite weak and hard to win with, especially in major competitive races. Thus, training this character so she can match her rivals in terms of speed is also a behemoth task.
2. Mejiro Ryan

- Speed: 87
- Stamina: 66
- Power: 95
- Guts: 71
- Wit: 81
Mejiro Ryan is a Umamusume that falls under the unfortunate banner of mediocrity. She does not have the worst stats in the game; however, her base numbers are quite poor, similar to Haru Urara. In addition to that, Mejiro Ryan also becomes the victim of mood deficiency and various debuffs quite often, which makes it harder to train her. This particular horse girl’s expertise is quite situational, so you shouldn’t expect much consistent performance in normal races.
3. King Halo

- Speed: 87
- Stamina: 60
- Power: 93
- Guts: 73
- Wit: 87
King Halo can be a great late-stage racer when she is in her optimal element and situations. However, creating a build that will ensure that she stays effective throughout the various race changes in a career mode is certainly not an easy task. That difficult aspect, mixed with her mood constantly crashing results in a trainee who is extremely hard to train and is an easy target for her fellow rivals in a racetrack. So, we recommend that you take caution before starting with King Halo.
4. Winning Ticket

- Speed: 87
- Stamina: 68
- Power: 91
- Guts: 74
- Wit: 80
If you are looking for a reliable Umamusume at the start of your playthrough, then Winning Ticket is a good choice. However, once you progress in Umamusume Pretty Derby and the races alongside the rival horse girls start getting increasingly tougher, Winning Ticket can fall behind quickly and lose her usefulness. This character specializes in medium races. That means, even though she can go quite well in her niche, whenever you encounter a race outside of her expertise, her performance dips suddenly and significantly.
5. Matikanefukukitaru

- Speed: 77
- Stamina: 81
- Power: 88
- Guts: 81
- Wit: 73
Matikanefukukitaru in Umamusume Pretty Derby is all about luck and spontaneous excellence. She has this unique skill named “Luck be with me”, which works precisely as it sounds. It is a skill that activates randomly or disappears on its own during races. Which means, training and making her build do not contribute as much to this character, and once you have started her in a race, you will have to rely on your luck to win, and that doesn’t pay off most of the time.
