Notes on Terms

These reviews are from later in the game’s life (around Scenario 5 for most of them), so there are some things that aren’t present in the current version of the game. Some umas also received buffs to their ultimates during one anniversary or another.

Evolutions - The gold skills umas start with later get special pink versions, which are more powerful and unique to the uma. This makes some umas much better. It happened around the second anniversary, with the Grandmasters scenario.

Parents - There are key parent umas that frequently get compared to, such as Dober and Nishino Flower who aren’t yet in the game. They’re meta defining as parents once they do release.

Christmas Oguri - This uma triggers her unique after using 3 healing skills. She’s one of the most dominant competitive umas for a long time, with the puzzle being finding which heals to use to make her unique trigger at the best time. Umas with healing ults will frequently be looked at through the lens of her. She does fall off after evolutions come out though, as she doesn’t get good ones.

Gambler - An uma who stacks up a bunch of random acceleration skills and hopes one of them triggers at a good time.

Oonige - A fifth racing style, which is Front Runner taken to a new extreme. Technically added during MANT, but not really usable until Grand Live.

Daily Legend Race - A feature added later where you can get 1 piece for certain umas each day. 150 pieces lets you get the uma, so this feature allows you to get an uma of your choice every 5 months. (plus 2x events)
