Rice Shower Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Rice Shower excels as a Leader in long-distance races, though her training demands careful stat management and strategic support card selection. Her challenging temperament and early-game vulnerabilities make her one of the more difficult characters to develop effectively.

Core Stat Targets

  • Speed: Prioritize reaching 700+ by the final race to dominate long-distance events.
  • Stamina: Aim for 600+ (or higher without recovery skills) to endure grueling races.
  • Power: Maintain at least 550+ for sustained speed through turns and final stretches.
  • Wit: Target 300+ to improve skill activation frequency and stabilize her mood swings.
  • Guts: A baseline of 250+ provides stability and a late-race boost.

Optimal Support Card Setup

  • 3 Speed Cards: Use high-bond options like Silence Suzuka or King Halo.
  • 1 Stamina Card: Essential for surviving later race segments.
  • 1 Wit Card: Symboli Rudolf enhances stamina efficiency and mental resilience.
  • 1 Flexible Slot: Power or utility cards to patch weaknesses.

Training Focus Areas

  • Prioritize Speed: Maximize Speed training early, aiming for Level 5 sessions.
  • Balance Stamina: Never let Stamina lag behind your Speed progression.
  • Group Training: Choose drills with 2+ support characters for bonus efficiency.
  • Energy Management: Substitute Rest with Wit training when energy isn’t fully depleted.
  • Bond Building: Train all support cards early to unlock friendship bonuses.

Essential Skills

  • Leadership Skills: Front-running abilities to maintain lead positions.
  • Stamina Recovery: Critical for sustaining performance in marathon races.
  • Pace Management: Mid-race activation skills for position control.
  • Track Synergy: Prioritize turf and Kyoto race bonuses where possible.

Race Strategy & Legacy

Focus exclusively on Leader specialization via legacy breeding. Ideal predecessors include:

  • TM Opera O
  • Sakura Bakushin O
  • Mihono Bourbon

Avoid Mid/End-runner bloodlines, as their bonuses don’t synergize with her Leader playstyle.

Key Summary

  • Core stats: 700 Speed | 600 Stamina
  • Card loadout: 3-1-1-1 split (Speed-Stamina-Wit-Flex)
  • Train strategically using group drills and wit sessions
  • Prioritize recovery and pacing skills
  • Optimal lineage: Opera O, Bourbon, Bakushin
  • Avoid unfavorable race predictions
