Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s collection of horse girls inspired by real-life racehorses is impressive, and from the entire lineup, Mihono Bourbon stands out. Being an incredibly dedicated runner, her cyborg-like precision and determination ensure victory even in sticky situations.

Want to play aggressively? Look no further than Mihono Bourbon. After all, she isn’t nicknamed the “Cyborg” for nothing, and while her personality isn’t bubbly, training her can be ideal if you want someone to lead the pack on the track.

Specialising as a Front Runner, the potential of her running capabilities is limitless, but only if you know how to make the right build with her. To make the best Mihono Bourbon build in the game, you’ll need to focus on specific stats, skills, and support cards, and without further ado, let’s dive into it.

1. Prioritise Speed, Stamina, and Power for Mihono Bourbon

Since Mihono Bourbon is a Front Runner, training her Speed should be your top priority before you even think of training her other stats. She’s incredibly proficient in Medium-Distance Turf races, but her ability to be at the front in a race stems from training her Speed.

Focus on it during her career and target at least 1000 or above Speed to make her come out on top in every race. Sure, it seems like a high target, but if you’re planning on winning races with her, then that’s the type of value you should aim for. It’s a crucial stat for a Front Runner, and training it will only make her more efficient.

Next up, focus on her Stamina to ensure that she isn’t lagging behind early in a race. You want her to face the competition head-on without getting tired, and no matter how fast a horse girl is, they all need energy to move forward, and that’s where Stamina factors in.

For Stamina, aim for at least 600 or higher to avoid her getting burnt out on longer tracks. Running faster is the key to success, but running for longer ensures a racer’s victory, and Speed is nothing without the required Stamina. Being highly effective in Medium-Distance Turf races, she will need all the Stamina that she can get.

Once you’re done training Stamina, the next Stat you should set your sights on is Power. Mihono Bourbon doesn’t essentially need her Power trained as much as Speed and Stamina, but you should still get it to at least around 500 for it to actually work for her.

You don’t want her to just run on the tracks; what you want is for her to accelerate faster and hit every corner perfectly in a race, and training Power will allow her to do that better. Now that you know all the important Stats, turn to Wit for that last push to victory.

Aim for around 350 with Wit to increase her skill activations, and you will need that final push across the finish line. With that out of the way, target around 300-400 with Guts to improve her performance during the last stretch of a race and to make sure that she swoops past her competition at the right time.

Guts isn’t as essential as the other stats, but it’s better not to let it be the black sheep of the bunch. Plus, you never know which stat may come in handy at what time, so train it a little just to be on the safe side. Apart from that, whatever you do in Mihono Bourbon’s career, Speed, Stamina, and Power should have the high ground when it comes to stats.

To enhance her output on the tracks, this should be your setup of Support Cards:

But don’t turn away just yet, as we’re simply getting started on what unlocking her potential can do.

Concentration: Horse girls need time to pick up the pace when a race starts slow, but using the Concentration Skill reduces the time lost to sluggish starts, which can significantly benefit Mihono Bourbon’s pace from the beginning and make her more consistent.

Greed for Speed: The name perfectly describes what the skill does, as it allows a horse girl to moderately steal velocity from other runners behind her when she’s in the lead in the middle of the race. Mihono Bourbon likes to take the lead, so to play even more aggressively, use this skill to ensure that everyone falls behind her.

Trackblazer: A fantastic skill for Medium-Distance races, using Trackblazer with Mihono Bourbon works like a charm as it reduces fatigue when a horse girl is in the lead during the middle of a race.

Front Runner Straightaways: You can probably deduce from the name that the skill is perfect for Mihono Bourbon as she’s a Front Runner, and you would be right, as it increases the velocity of a racer moderately on a straight. Need that helping hand across the finish line? This is the skill you need to use.

Escape Artist: A horse girl never stops and looks back during a race, and using this skill with Mihono Bourbon will further solidify her position in the lead, as it increases the ability to move to the front during the middle of a race. It works in harmony with a Front Runner and might just be the skill that gets her out of a pickle.
