Discover the optimal characters to train for Long Races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby and learn about their styles within your PvP team.
Spanning a staggering 2500 to 3600 meters, Long races are the ultimate test of your umas’ endurance in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Training for them requires a significant commitment to Stamina alongside Speed. However, choosing the right characters for your team is even more important to remain competitive against other players in Team Trials.
This guide examines the optimal umas to utilize for each running style and their contributions to the team.
Top Long Race Characters in Umamusume: Pretty Derby for Team Trials
Front Runner: Mayano Top Gun
- Stat Bonuses
- Stamina 20%
- Guts 10%
- Unique Skill: Flashy Landing
- Speed and acceleration increase while competing for the lead at the Final Corner or beyond.
- Alternative
- Mejiro McQueen
Mayano Top Gun combines a 20% Stamina bonus with a unique skill ideal for front-running to earn her spot on the team. Even as a 2-star character, she can fly past 3-stars on the final corner thanks to her unique skill increasing both velocity and acceleration. Train Speed and Stamina past 800 to ensure she can reach a respectable top speed and have enough gas left in the tank for the final stretch.
Pace Chaser: TM Opera O
- Stat Bonuses
- Stamina 20%
- Wit 10%
- Unique Skill: This Dance Is for Vittoria!
- Speed increases if you’re in the front during the Final Corner or beyond.
- Alternatives
- Super Creek
- Special Week
TM Opera O’s ‘This Dance Is for Vittoria!’ and ‘Speed Star’ at Potential level 3 synergize well with her Pace Chaser strategy. Use enough Stamina Support Cards to bring her Stamina above 700 and focus the rest on Speed and Power before setting her loose. Invest in stamina recovery and final stretch skills to maximize her ultimate burst of speed.
Late Surger: Rice Shower
- Stat Bonuses
- Guts 20%
- Stamina 10%
- Unique Skill: Blue Rose Closer
- Speed increases on the Final Straight after overtaking a racer in the front during the Final Leg.
- Alternatives
- Symboli Rudolf
- Grass Wonder
- Matikanefukukitaru
A diminutive uma plagued by misfortune, Rice Shower outruns her bad luck when it comes to Long races. As a Late Surger, Rice Shower does not require as much Stamina, and can rack up Power to blitz through the competition in the final push. She can also act as a potent debuffer by adding other red skills in addition to ‘Subdued Pace Chasers.’
Rice Shower is particularly effective if you can get her to Potential level 5 and use the ‘Cooldown’ skill to recover stamina in the middle of the race. Even if you don’t, its inferior version, ‘Deep Breaths,’ is unlocked by default.
End Closer: Gold Ship
- Stat Bonuses
- Stamina 20%
- Power 10%
- Unique Skill: Anchors Aweigh!
- Speed increases if you’re in the second half of the pack halfway through the race.
- Alternatives: None; Gold Ship is irreplaceable
The Umamusume community’s favorite End Closer, Gold Ship, trots into her running style with characteristic grace. Featuring the ideal End Closer unique skill and stat bonuses, Gold Ship is your team’s last line of defense, literally. She can be outfitted with low-cost game-changing skills like ‘Petrifying Gaze,’ ‘Encroaching Shadow,’ ‘Sturm und Drang,’ and ‘Serenity.’
