Umamusume: Pretty Derby just dropped a new SSR End Closer, Narita Taishin, and this three-star horse girl is a beast for PVP Team Trials. She’s solid in regular races too, but she really stands out when teamed up with other runners. Her stats and aptitudes make her easy to train for specific roles, and she’s versatile enough to handle multiple jobs with some Spark buffs from Legacies. With free Carats piling up, a lot of players are pulling for her banner and adding her to their squads. Here’s how to train Narita Taishin to get the most out of her unique skills in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

Narita Taishin Overview

Narita Taishin is an End Closer built for Medium and Long-distance races on Turf tracks. That means Speed and Stamina are her bread and butter. She’ll also need decent Power and Guts to surge ahead at the last second, so her training is a bit tougher than other horses.

You’ll want at least 1000 Speed for Narita Taishin. Her 10% growth bonus helps make that easier. Stamina should hit at least 700, ideally closer to 800 or 900. But if you’re focusing on Medium races in PVP, you can ease up on Stamina a bit and lean on energy recovery skills to cover the gap, especially since she saves most of her Stamina for the final stretch.

Power is key for Narita Taishin to catch up and take the lead at the end. Shoot for 600-700 Power, paired with 300-400 Guts, and she’ll do great as an End Closer. Her 20% Guts growth bonus makes hitting that mark a breeze.

If you’re building her as a debuffer for PVP, Wit is important—she’s one of the best for that role. Aim for 400 Wit to make her debuff skills reliable, but 300 is fine if debuffing isn’t your focus.
