Best Characters to Use Your Umamusume 3-Star Voucher On

New Umamusume: Pretty Derby players can claim a Head Start 3-Star Voucher that lets them recruit an SSR character of their choosing, but which horse girls are the best options? There are quite a few attractive options in the Umamusume 3-Star Selector, so you should weigh your options carefully.

The Head Start 3-Star Voucher makes rerolling your Umamusume account much easier since you can just pick an SSR at the start of your career, and there are even more ways to get free 3-Star horses later on if you stick with the game. There aren't any bad options to pick, but you can definitely make your life a lot easier if you pick certain Umamusume characters with your selector.

How to Use Your Head Start 3-Star Voucher in Umamusume

To claim your Head Start 3-Star Voucher in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, complete the tutorial and then tap the mail icon on the Home screen. Your selector ticket will be waiting for you alongside the other beginner rewards for new Umamusume accounts.

Once you have the ticket, open the Shop by tapping the shopping cart icon in the bottom left-corner of the Home screen. There, you should see an option for Voucher Exchange. This will bring up a menu where you can choose one of eight SSR Umumasume characters, including the following horse girls.

Special Week
Silence Suzuka
Tokai Teio
Maruzensky
Oguri Cap
Taiki Shuttle
Mejiro McQueen
Symboli Rudolf
Rice Shower

These characters are also available from normal gacha pulls, so you'll have a chance to get them later if you don't choose them now. They are very rare, though, so think carefully before making a decision.

Which 3-Star Umamusume Character Should You Choose?

Umamusume can get really, really sweaty if you take it seriously, and every player will have different recommendations for the best SSR character to start with. Umamusume is all about having fun with horse girls, though, so you should really just pick the character that you like the most. Waifus trump the meta nine times out of ten, and you'll have way more fun if you actually like the characters that you're training (shout out to Tokai Teio).

With that said, some of these horse girls are much stronger than the others. Oguri Cap is the overall best choice because she has good proficiency with both Turf and Dirt tracks, which is rare for Umamusume at the moment. Her unique ability, Triumphant Pulse, is also one of the best in the game. It's great for passing on to other Umamusume characters via legacies once you've completed a Career with her. If you don't like Oguri Cap, then Maruzensky and Taiki Shuttle are also great choices.

The best piece of advice for new Umamusume players is to actually save the Head Start 3-Star Voucher until later down the line. This is because you can claim another free SSR character by completing the Release Celebration Missions in the Special tab of the Missions menu. It's a random 3-star character, though, but it does pull from the same SSR pool as the Head Start 3-Star Voucher. If you use the selector ticket early on, you might end up getting a duplicate when you finish the Release Celebration missions. It's better to have two unique 3-Star Umamusume characters instead of getting a duplicate, especially for new accounts.
