Umamusume: Pretty Derby doesn’t have many End Closers, but the few it does have are sure to make your races exciting. Hishi Amazon is a great choice in this role, thanks to her compatible base skills. She performs well on many track types, so leveling up the right stats will help her shine even more.
End Closers are not often favored because it’s a risky position. They are vulnerable to getting blocked or not having enough power to close the gap quickly. To make them reliable, it’s important to equip them with the right skills and support cards. Since they excel near the final moments of a race, you should focus on making sure they are at their peak at that stage.
How To Play Hishi Amazon?
Hishi Amazon functions best as an End Closer. While she can be used in other positions, she truly excels when finishing strong at the end. If you put effort into improving her Pace skills, you can also run her as a Pace Chaser.
Her growth is more suited for an End Closer build, with a 20% growth rate in power and 10% in guts. Both stats are crucial for the final stretch, helping her accelerate and avoid getting blocked. Her default skills support this role, making her dependable in that position.
You can also consider using her as a Late Surger. Many of her navigation skills help in that role as well. However, her aptitude for Late Surger is lower, so expect to grind more for sparks to succeed.
Hishi Amazon is best on Mile and Medium tracks, and she performs decently on longer ones. Her Sprint aptitude is D, so you’ll need to farm some sparks to raise it. She’s better suited for Turf tracks rather than Dirt.
Hishi Amazon Best Stats
Her primary focus should be on Power, which is most important for her growth and role as an End Closer. You’ll want at least 400 Power early in your career for medium races, but aim for over 700 by the end of your racing season to maximize her performance. Speed is also vital for a strong final spurt.
Since End Closers don’t need to conserve much stamina early in the race, anything above 600 stamina is sufficient for a good final burst. Wit is necessary to activate skills effectively, so around 300 is the minimum, but aiming for 400 is recommended, especially if your Power stat isn’t very high. More Wit also improves her navigation, reducing the chance of getting blocked. Guts isn’t critical if her stamina is already well-developed.
