Rice Shower Build Guide | Uma Musume Pretty Derby
Written by Priya Kapoor
In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Rice Shower works best as a Leader in long-distance races, but she needs the right stats and support cards to win. Her mood swings and early setbacks make her one of the hardest girls to train.
Stat Priorities
Speed
This should be your highest stat. Aim for 700 or more by the final race.
Stamina
You need 600+ for long races. If you don’t have a recovery skill, go higher.
Power
Keep Power above 550+. It helps her stay fast through turns and push late.
Wit
Try to reach 300+. This boosts her skill use and helps control her mood.
Guts
Around 250+ is enough. It gives her a small boost near the end and keeps her stable.
Best Support Cards for Rice Shower
3 Speed Cards
Use strong bond or skill hint cards. Kitasan Black and King Halo both work.
1 Stamina Card
Pick any solid Stamina card. You need it to survive the last half of each race.
1 Wit Card
Symboli Rudolf is a good pick. Wit drills help with stamina and mood.
1 Power or Utility Card
Choose one with good events or flexible stats. This fills in any weak spots.
Training Strategy
Speed First
Speed should be your top focus. Build it early and aim for Level 5 training.
Keep Stamina Balanced
Don’t let Stamina fall behind. She needs it to avoid crashing out mid-race.
Use Stacked Drills
Train on drills with multiple support cards. Even Guts drills are worth it if they have 3 or more characters.
Train Wit Instead of Rest
If she’s low on energy but not empty, do a Wit drill instead of resting.
Watch Predictions
If a race looks bad, don’t enter it. Use it as a warning your stats are too low.
Build Bond Early
Train every support card in the early turns. You need friendship bonuses later.
Best Skills for Rice Shower
Leader Skills
Front-runner type skills help her stay ahead.
Stamina Recovery
Any skill that gives her stamina back is important for long races.
Pace Support
Skills that activate mid-race help her keep position.
Track-Type Skills
Look for turf and Kyoto boosts if possible.
Race Style Tips
Rice Shower is best with the Leader style. Push her Leader rating to A using legacy parents. Chaser is harder to use and less reliable.
Good legacy picks include:
TM Opera O
Sakura Bakushin O
Mihono Bourbon
Avoid legacy girls built for End or Mid runners. Their bonuses don’t help her much.
Final Blurb
Rice Shower is a high-risk pick, but she can win consistently with the right build. Focus on Speed and Stamina, use Leader inheritance, and keep her mood stable.
Once she’s set up, she handles long-distance races well and can win URA Finals with ease.
TL;DR
Build her as a Leader with A-ranked inheritance
Aim for 700+ Speed and 600+ Stamina
Use 3 Speed, 1 Stamina, 1 Wit, and 1 Power or utility card
Train Speed first but keep Stamina close behind
Do Wit drills instead of Rest when low on energy
Use drills with 2 or more support characters
Pick skills for stamina recovery and pace
Only run her as a Leader, not a Chaser
Avoid entering races if predictions are bad
Good legacies include Opera O, Bourbon, and Bakushin
