Dirt horsegirls are still quite the rarity in this game, and we are treated to new one for this banner, and it is quite the fanfare, as Copano Rickey is probably one of the most anticipated new characters, and for good reason. As with most of her peers, Rickey is best used in mile tracks, although she is able to handle medium distances too without any adjustments. She will perform best as either a runner or leader, but she comes with Leaders Tricks as a default, so do take that into consideration. However what makes Rickey stand out is that she gets a new green ability that grants her a speed stat bonus should your power stat surpass either 1,000 for the white version or 1,200 for the gold upgrade. Pair that with her unique character skill that gives her both a speed and acceleration boost depending on the amount of green skills procced, you have quite the powerhouse on your hands. We have been fairly overdue for a overpowered character, and it is quite clear that Copano Rickey is going to wreck havoc in the dirt races, so be sure to get her.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is currently available on Android and iOS for mobile, and DMM Games for the PC.
