Umamusume Pretty Derby: Top 5 Easiest Characters to Beat Career Mode
5) Agnes Tachyon

Agnes Tachyon is a medium-distance Pace Chaser who primarily competes in Medium races during her career, ending with the Arima Kinen. While such events would usually prove disadvantageous for beginners, Tachyon’s unique skill makes up for a lack of Stamina.
Called ‘Introduction to Physiology,’ the skill activates on a corner in the second half of the race, recovering a significant portion of Stamina. With her 20% bonus to Speed, load up the Support Card deck with 3 Speed, 2 Stamina, and 1 Power to achieve all her goals.
4) TM Opera O

TM Opera O targets Medium and Long races in her career with a 20% bonus to Stamina. While the bonus makes training Stamina far easier, her strategy as a Pace Chaser works synergistically with her skill arsenal.
In addition to featuring valuable innate skills like Prepared to Pass and Up-Tempo, her unique skill increases velocity in the front of the final corner while close to another racer. Complement this burst of speed with a few last spurt skills like “Homestretch Haste” and “Speed Star” to blaze through the final straight.
3) El Condor Pasa

With a 20% bonus to Speed, El Condor Pasa quickly gains an advantage while competing in Mile races during the first half of her career. Invest in a few stamina-replenishing skills to ensure that her unique skill activates on the Final Stretch. The skill, Corazon Ardiente, increases both acceleration and velocity, propelling El Condor Pasa through the final straight at a dramatic pace.
Only her final race, the Arima Kinen in late December, poses a career-ending threat as a Long race. This is because El Condor Pasa sports a “B” rank rating in Long distance. But since the race is only 100 meters longer than a Medium event, you’ll have enough Stamina for it. By her final race, El Condor Pasa’s stats will likely outclass the competition’s by miles, making the debuff to stats caused by her “B” rating in Long races irrelevant.
2) Sakura Bakushin O

Sakura Bakushin O is the first URA Final winner for a sizable portion of the player base. Her career is limited to Sprint and Mile races, and she holds an “A” rank aptitude in both. Additionally, she can use the Front Runner style to avoid getting blocked, and her 20% bonus to Speed is ideal for the distance. Load up as many Speed Support Cards as you can and min-max your way to a career win.
1) Silence Suzuka

Silence Suzuka’s career is similar to Sakura Bakushin O, training Speed with a 20% bonus and making full use of it as a Front Runner. However, instead of Short and Mile, Silence Suzuka’s goals involve Medium races.
What makes Silence Suzuka’s career remarkably easy is the lack of a G1 race until late June of her senior year. All the goal races up until that point are a cakewalk. Her career essentially offers you a sandbox training experience to craft the perfect Front Runner.
