If you like Narita Brian as a character, then yes, you should pull for her. However, if you only wish to collect meta-defining characters, then hold your Carats for stronger upcoming runners. Narita Brian is a Turf racer with an aptitude for Medium and Long tracks. She is best suited as a Pace Chaser or Late Surger.

Currently, there are many equally good alternatives to her, such as Oguri Cap and Symboli Rudolf, whom you can get for free using SSR+ Trainee tickets. Additionally, there are not many characters in the Trainee pool right now, which means you won’t receive many unique SSR Umamusume while pulling for Narita Brian.

Narita Brian Overview 

Even though Narita isn’t a meta-defining character, her prowess is nothing to scoff at. Her entire kit depends on preserving energy throughout the entire race until the final stretch, and then she enters beast mode to overtake her opponents. 

Her career consists of a mix of mostly Long and Medium tracks with two Mile races in the beginning. Most of her tracks are over 2000m long, which means you are going to have to focus on building up her Stamina alongside Speed and Power. 

If you lack a strong racer who can comfortably handle long races in Team Trials or PvP modes, then you should definitely consider pulling for Narita Brian in her banner.
