Training your favorite horse girls in Umamusume: Pretty Derby requires careful planning and a bit of luck to succeed in your races. Even top Umas like Gold City need the right support and training strategies to reach their goals.
Here’s how to optimize Gold City’s career runs so you can win the races that matter. From choosing the best skills to selecting support cards, everything you need to help Gold City reach her dreams is below. It might take some practice, but with the right guidance, you can help shape her into a legendary Uma.
How to Play Gold City
Gold City is known for her modeling work, but she dreams of shining both on and off the track. As her trainer, your job is to help her achieve these dreams by winning her goal races. To do that, you should understand her strengths, especially her talent for mile distances.
It’s best to run her as a Late Surger since she’s naturally suited to it. Focus on increasing her skills for Medium and Long-distance races, like the Cancer Cup Champions Meeting, where Mile aptitude is important.
Race Style and Distance
Distance | Sprint (F) | Mile (A) | Medium (B) | Long (B) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Style | Front (F) | Pace (A) | Late (A) | End (F) |
Gold City’s Best Stats
Her race performance depends on her stats. To maximize results, focus on boosting her speed and power since she tends to get trapped in the pack. Increasing her stamina will also help her maintain top speed over longer distances.
Here are the ideal stat ranges to aim for, which may require some trial and error:
Stat | Priority | Ideal Range |
---|---|---|
Speed | 9 | 900–1000 |
Stamina | 4 | 500–600 |
Power | 5 | 800–900 |
Guts | 1 | 300–400 |
Wit | 1 | 300–400 |
Boost Wit when possible. It helps recover energy and increases the chance that her skills will activate during races.
Legacy Recommendations
For Gold City, select legacy horses that enhance Stamina and Power. Horses with a talent for the Late Surger strategy and proficiency in Medium or Long distances will benefit her the most.
Top choices for inspiration include Fuji Kiseki, Taiki Shuttle, Daiwa Scarlet, El Condor Pasa, and Mihono Bourbon. If those are hard to get, alternatives like Sakura Bakushin O and Tokai Teio can work.
