Umamusume: Best characters for URA Finale tier list

The URA Finale is the first scenario available for Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s career mode and is therefore the story players will engage with the most. You will take your Trainee through their first three years of racing, aiming to participate in the URA Finale to crown their junior career.

Umamusume being a roguelite game, every playthrough is going to be a little different thanks to a variety of factors — the Trainee you choose, the legacies and cards you bring, and the events that transpire. Of course, you’ll have different milestones to hit as well. But there is a meta level to this, too: Sometimes, you’ll simply want to farm G1-level races to gain materials for unlocking the Potential of characters. Sometimes, you’ll train the perfect Umamusume to add to your team in Team Trials. And sometimes, you simply want to fulfill the dreams of an adorable horse girl.

While the latter two objectives make a tier list irrelevant, for the heart (or the PvP meta) wants what it wants, some characters are better suited for comfy farming runs. These are the best characters for URA Finale in Umamusume.

B-Tier Umamusume

These Umamusume will give you the biggest challenges on the way to the URA Finale — not because they lack potential or talent, but because of certain gimmicks in their events that will make it more difficult to manage training, energy, and mood, or because their schedule forces them to participate in such a wild variety of races that makes picking the right skills difficult.

• [Rosy Dreams] Rice Shower (SSR)
• [MB-19890425] Mihono Bourbon (SSR)
• [pf. Winning Equation] Biwa Hayahide (SSR)
