Umamusume Riko Kashimoto SSR Pal Support Card Guide

Greetings, Trainers! Riko Kashimoto is the strict-looking trainer of Team Zenith and the acting Director of Tracen Academy during the Unity Cup. Despite her cold, stern attitude, she’s actually caring toward the academy trainees, and she’s also physically quite unfit, easily tired by light exercise or even carrying large coffee drinks.

Her support version card mirrors this by prioritizing safe, efficient training through energy recovery, mood boosts, and failure protection. If you’re planning to roll or MLB her, topping up your Carat via Lootbar can make sticking to her banner much easier on your budget.

What Makes Riko Kashimoto Pal SSR Good?

Riko Kashimoto’s SSR Pal card is built for safe, comfortable training. Her kit is packed with energy recovery and mood-up events, especially from her 5-step date chain via Recreation. She keeps your trainee’s stamina high and mood stable, letting you do more training with fewer rests and less risk of bad moods.

Her support effects give: high Energy Cost Reduction, Failure Protection, and Event Recovery, making turns smoother and failed trainings less frequent. As you obtain more copy, Training Effectiveness and Initial Stamina kick in, so she’s not just a “rest bot”; she also improves the value of the training she joins.

Riko also brings solid Race Bonus and Fan Bonus, and many of her events grant Stamina + Guts together. In practice, she acts like a mini Stamina support: even without taking a Stamina slot, she keeps feeding extra Stamina to your trainee through events.

She really shines in the Unity Cup scenario. As a scenario-linked Pal, her special events (“Riko Kashimoto, the Hard Worker,” “Good Work,” “A Priceless Connection,” etc.) stack extra Stamina, Guts, and skill points across the run. Since Unity Cup rewards efficient, low-failure trainings and good stamina management, a Pal who protects trainings and pumps out energy is extremely valuable.

If you can get her SSR to at least 1LB, she becomes a very comfortable all-around Pal for long-distance and Unity Cup-focused training. If you’re short on Carats, a fully limit-broken R version can still fill the role, but the SSR with Training Effectiveness active is the ideal option for serious Unity Cup scenario training.

Should You Pull for Riko Kashimoto Pal SSR?

Pros

• Tons of energy recovery and mood-up events, especially via Recreation dates
• Strong Energy Cost Reduction, Failure Protection, and Event Recovery for safer, more efficient training
• Good Race Bonus, Fan Bonus, and Initial Stamina, plus Stamina/Guts from many events
• Gains Training Effectiveness from 1LB onward, improving overall training quality
• Scenario linked to Unity Cup, with special events that boost Stamina, Guts, and skill points

Cons

• Doesn’t directly raise a main stat type like Speed/Power on its own; value is more “indirect support”
• Competes with other Pal supports in the same slot (you usually only run one)
• Requires a high investment to fully utilize.
• Less critical if you rarely play Unity Cup or don’t push high-difficulty training runs

Riko Kashimoto is an excellent Pal to have. She makes training safer and less exhausting while quietly adding Stamina and Guts. If you still lack core Speed/Power/Stamina SSRs, prioritize those first, but once your main stats are covered, Riko is a great quality-of-life upgrade for training.

Conclusion

Riko Kashimoto SSR Pal support is a strong pick if you want safe, efficient training, especially for Unity Cup. Once your core Speed/Power/Stamina supports are in place, she smooths out runs with energy recovery, mood ups, and failure protection so you can train harder with fewer risks.
