Narita Brian is a good character to pull thanks to her strong Unique Skill, as well as her Innate and Potential skills. They make her one of the best Medium track racers, and serves as a good Legacy for most horses (except Front Runners).
Pull for her if you can, especially if you have the Carats to spare after Smart Falcon's banner.

Narita Brian has an A aptitude to the Pace Chaser running strategy, and has immediate access to the skill Preferred Position. As such, running her as a Pace Chaser is preferred. This also lets you use strong Pace Chaser skills such as Gourmand if you can provide her with hints for the skill.
Alternatively, Narita Brian can also be used as a Late Surger since she also has A aptitude for it. You will just need to make sure that you can give her Late Surger skills such as A Small Breather or general skills like Swinging Maestro.
It is important to max out Narita Brian's potential, as this will give access to powerful skills such as Beeline Burst and In Body and Mind. If you do not have the Monies or materials to do so, reaching Potential Level 3 is enough to gain access to Beeline Burst.
Although it is tempting to improve Narita Brian's Mile aptitude to help with her early races, it is better to improve her Long and Medium aptitudes as they make up for a majority of her career races. Increasing her Long aptitude has a higher priority as if you only do her career races, her URA Finale races will be Long.
Legacy and Sparks Guide: Inheritance Explained
If you are able to win the Triple Crown with Narita Brian during her Classic Year, or win in 5 or more G1 Races, a Hidden Event called Public Appearance will happen during Early January of Senior Year. Choosing the top option ("You want to face off with the best, so let's attend!") will make Narita Brian's last four races harder.
While this may not seem like a good idea, doing so will improve the rewards for winning the races. Not only will you get additional Skill Points and stat increases, but you will also get skill Hints with each race you win.
If you are not confident in your stats and skills for your current run, you can choose to avoid the harder races by picking the bottom option instead ("Maybe it's a little too soon.").

Wining the harder races provides two Hints for a specific skill that can prove useful for Narita Brian.

| 1100+ | 1050+ | 600+ | 400+ | 400+ |
We recommend these stats for Narita Brian as she will primarily run as a Pace Chaser and will need Stamina both to keep her pace and to account for enemy debuffers. Having up to two Gold Recovery skills will help you survive debuffs during the race.
We recommend these skills for Narita Brian as these can help her get the Speed and Stamina that she needs for the race. This also takes into account the possible debuffers that she will encounter during the race, which can be offset by the two Gold Recovery skills.
As Narita Brian will be a Pace Chaser, taking Unique skills like Red Shift/LP1211-M and Triumphant Pulse will help you close out races.

Because Narita Brian prefers Medium and Long races while using a Pace Chaser or Late Surger style, she will need a lot of Speed and Stamina. Focus on getting those first before getting more Power afterward. After that, get Wit to help her activate skills and avoid getting Rushed, before finally increasing her Guts.
It is important to note that if you cannot reach the stats recommended above, you can instead aim for a similar stat distribution. You can then compensate for the missing stats using skills. Additionally, if you are only planning on clearing a career run with Narita Brian then you can aim for lower stat numbers, as the stats above are a baseline for Team Trials.
For Narita Brian, we recommend a deck of 3 Speed, 1 Stamina, 1 Power, and 1 Wit. You can also choose to swap the Wit card for a Stamina card, but Narita Brian's +20% Stamina growth should be enough to help cover her Stamina needs.
These cards will help Narita Brian level her needed Stats (especially with Rainbow/Friendship Training), as well as provide some needed skills like Gourmand and It's On!.
| Alternate Cards | ||
|---|---|---|
Mayano Top Gun (Cute + Cute = ?) Rarity: SR Type: Stamina Great general-purpose Stamina card |
Eishin Flash (5:00 a.m.-Right on Schedule) Rarity: SR Type: Speed Strong Late Surger skills |
Manhattan Cafe (My Solo Drawn to Raindrop Drums) Rarity: SR Type: Stamina Long skills and decent green skills |
Agnes Tachyon (Experimental Studies on Subject A) Rarity: SR Type: Wit Great Medium speed skills and debuffs |
||
If you do not have the cards from the recommended deck, you can replace them with a similar stat card that provides skills that Narita Brian needs. These can be SSR cards, or even SR cards. Above are some of the SR cards that you can use in place of SSR Support cards.
| Recommended | |
|---|---|
| 9★ Stamina 9★ Power |
|
| 3★ Pace Chaser 3★ Medium 3★ Long |
For Legacy Sparks, we recommend Stamina and Power sparks as she will need them for her Medium and Long races. You can also choose to get additional Stamina sparks to help with her Long races.
For running style sparks, we recommend getting Pace Chaser as this is her preferred running style. As for race length sparks, aim for Medium and Long sparks to maximize her chances of winning a majority of her career races. This is especially important if you plan on taking part of Narita Brian's secret event which will make her final four races harder.
You can use either your own Veterans, or borrow the ones from your friends. If you do not have Veterans with full sparks, you can go with whatever you have access to.

| Good |
When picking Legacies, try to select compatible legacies, as they increase the chance of inheriting additional sparks during the Inheritance events. This is not required, but is highly recommended.
If you do not have access to fully compatible legacies, it is enough to ensure that you have at least good compatibility with your selected legacies.
| Recommended Skills | ||
|---|---|---|
Gourmand
|
Swinging Maestro
|
Professor of Curvature
|
Prepared to Pass
|
Homestretch Haste
|
It's On!
|
Since Narita Brian can race as either a Pace Chaser or Late Surger, getting overtaking skill are important, as well as recovery skills to help her get stamina, especially in long races. It's On! (or its base version Ramp Up) and Prepared to Pass are examples of good overtaking skills.
For general speed skills, Professor of Curvature and Homestretch Haste are good choices. As for recovery skills, Swinging Maestro and Gourmand are both strong gold recovery skills, although Gourmand does lock you into using Narita Brian as a Pace Chaser.
If you cannot get the recommended skills, you can replace them with similar skills that you have access to. You will just need to make sure that Narita Brian can activate said skills in a race.

| A lone wolf of few words and ample strength, Narita Brian is feared throughout the academy due to both her personality and her performance on the turf. She herself has little interest in anything besides running, which she does only to quench her own endless thirst. Off the racecourse, she is Biwa Hayahide's little sister and, for some reason, a student council vice president. | ||
