Rice Shower is one of the most popular girls in Umamusume: Pretty Derby because of her looks, but she's also a strong SSR racer who can dominate the competition with the right build. Rice Shower's skills may not be as good as some of the other 3-star horses in Umamusume, but you can still easily win a career with her as long as you play your cards right.
The real-life horse named Rice Shower was sadly euthanized after a shocking mid-race injury, but Rice Shower's Umamusume incarnation doesn't have to meet the same fate. You can carry Rice Shower all the way to the URA Finale with the right Support Cards and training regimen. She has some helpful stat bonuses that set her apart from other horses, and she can hold her own even against the game's fastest runners with the right build.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Complete Training Guide
For those wondering how to train Umamusume: Pretty Derby and complete their careers, here’s a simple guide that walks you through each step.
Best Rice Shower Stats in Umamusume
Rice Shower is primarily a Pace Chaser in Umamusume, but she also has a B rating as a Front Runner. As such, Speed is hands-down the most important stat for her. Make sure to prioritize Speed above all else during Rice Shower's career, as it will come in handy for both strategies. Shoot for roughly 800 Speed to win the last few career races.
Stamina is the second most important stat for Rice Shower, since she specializes in Medium and Long distance tracks. She'll run out of steam pretty early if you don't dedicate a few days for Stamina training. Try to reach around 650 Stamina to stay safe.
Other than that, Power and Guts can make quite a difference in Rice Shower's racing abilities. They're not nearly as important as Speed or Stamina, but Rice Shower needs some decent Power to break out of the pack and reach the front of the race. Guts will help her maintain her pace and pass others during the final spurt as well.
Don't forget to devote some training time to Wit, either. Rice Shower doesn't need a lot of Wit to win races, but a higher ability activation rate is always nice to have. Plus, a better score in this stat will recover some Energy and boost your relationships with your Support Cards, letting you take advantage of Friendship Training sooner rather than later.
Best Rice Shower Legacies
To give Rice Shower the best possible starting stats, choose some of these Umamusume racers as her Legacy options:
- Special Week
- Gold Ship
- TM Opera O
- Mihono Bourbon
If you don't have any of the above racers, then just try to pick Legacy Umamusume who matches Rice Shower's preferences. Any other Front Runners or Pace Chasers will do.
Best Support Cards for Rice Shower
As a Pace Chaser and Front Runner, Rice Shower needs a bunch of Speed Support Cards to succeed. The best Support Card deck for Rice Shower includes three Speed cards, two Stamina cards, and either a Power or Guts card, depending on your collection. These are the best SSR Support Cards to run with Rice Shower:
- Twin Turbo (Speed)
- Special Week (Speed)
- Silence Suzuka (Speed)
- Sakura Bakushin O (Speed)
- Super Creek (Stamina)
- Gold Ship (Stamina)
- El Condor Pasa (Stamina)
- Fine Motion (Wit)
These SSR Support Cards come with gold skills that boost Speed during the final stretches of a race as long as Rice Shower is in the front, which fits both of her preferred racing styles. If you want to use Rice Shower as a Front Runner, then Twin Turbo and Silence Suzuka are two of the best Support Cards on the above list. For Pace Chasers, any of the others will work. Outside of SSR Support Cards, just try to bring SR cards that meet Rice Shower's preferred training stats, like Speed and Stamina.
Kitasan Black (Speed) is also one of Rice Shower's best SSR Support Cards, but it's coming to the global version at a later date.
