Taurus Cup Nice Nature (Poinsettia Ribbon) Build

Umamusume AttentionAttention! This is a character build for the Taurus Cup Champions Meeting.
This guide may be updated as we think of up more strategies for CM! Stay tuned!

Taurus Cup Nice Nature Stats and Training

General Stat Recommendations
Speed
700+
Stamina
600+
Power
600+
Guts
300+
Wit
600+
Recommended Training Grade: B+ or better
Note that the above stats can apply to the Graded League. You can relax your stats a bit more for Open League, but we always recommend you prioritize enough Stamina.

Unlike other runners like Oguri Cap or Gold Ship that you train to win the Taurus Cup, Nice Nature instead will be built as a Debuffer. As a Debuffer, her job is to either slow others down or reduce the stamina of opponents. In the Taurus Cup Champions Meeting, you are training her not to win, but to make sure that other players don't win.

You must build her with enough Wit as you want her to consistently activate her debuff skills.

Above are some teammates that Nice Nature (Poinsettia Ribbon) can team up with in the Champions Meeting. Nice Nature will serve as the team's Debuffer, allowing the team's carries to win while preventing others from performing at their best potential (ex. Oguri Cap as the Ace and Gold Ship as the second carry).

It is important to note that you can still perform well using other Umamusume if any of the above are unavailable.

Stamina Building with Recovery Skills

Recovery Skills Stamina
(Late Surger)
✕ Gold 700
1 Gold 600
2 Gold 500

Although you normally want a high amount of stamina on Late Surgers, you don't need as much on Nice Nature, as you are not building her to win. You just need her to stay with the pack for the majority of the race so that she can apply her debuffs.

Recovery Skill Effects

Skill Rarity Effect per Skill
Recovery Gold Recovery Skill

ex. Swinging Maestro
Recovers approximately 180~200 Stamina.
Recovery White Recovery Skill

ex. Corner Recovery ◯
Recovers approximately 50~60 Stamina.

The values above represent their effectiveness in a general sense. Different recovery skill effects and behaviors will vary.

While you want to save as many Skill points as possible to buy debuff skills, you may find yourself needing Recovery Skills, especially during the URA Finale. When that happens, invest in one or two Recovery Skills to help you get through the scenario, and to help you during the Taurus Cup.

Taurus Cup Nice Nature Build Support Cards

Taurus Cup Training Deck Setups

Deck Setups Strong Options
Stamina 1 Stamina 2 Wit 3
Guts 1 Stamina 2 Wit 3

The recommended deck setups for Nice Nature (Poinsettia Ribbon) are decks that can provide her with debuffs and Wit. By getting a variety of debuffs, she will be able to affect as many opponents as possible, while the Wit she will get from the training will help in activating said debuffs.

The deck also contains Stamina Support Cards, specifically those that can provide both useful Stamina Skills and Debuffs. Lastly, you can also replace a Wit card with a Guts card, as not only do some Guts cards provide debuffs like Air Groove (Nothing Escapes the Vice Prez), but they can also increase the Speed and Power you get when training Guts.

Looking for the sources of the skills above? Check the search table in the next section!

For skills, you'll want to prioritize Debuff Skills, especially those that will counter Pace Chaser Oguri Cap and End Closer Gold Ship, as these two are expected to show up a lot in the Taurus Cup.

Afterward, try to secure one or two Recovery Skills to help with keeping up with the pack during the race. To maximize the discount/hints of your skills, you'll want to save Nice Nature's skill points up to near the end of the URA Finale.

Taurus Cup Nice Nature Build Sparks

Taurus Cup Nice Nature (Poinsettia Ribbon) Sparks

Recommended
Blue Star SparkStats
9★ Stamina
9★ Speed
Or 18★ Stamina
Pink SparkAptitude
3★ Medium
3★ Turf

For Nice Nature's spark legacies, we highly recommend maximizing your Stamina Sparks as much as you can to ensure you can build enough Stamina for your Nice Nature during her career. Alternatively, you can also get a mix of both Stamina and Speed sparks, since you won't get a lot of speed from your deck.

For aptitude, we recommend prioritizing 3★ Medium and then 3★ Turf to gain more speed and power. You can also go with 3★ Late Surger if there is still space, otherwise, go with those 2 pink sparks.
