Umamusume Unique Skill: Empress’s Pride – Moderately increases velocity with the stride of an empress when passing another runner toward the back on the final corner.

For a Late Game character, prioritize Strength and Power during the construction process, ensuring there’s also a good amount of Intelligence to activate abilities. If you opt for a Stamina-focused build (Pace Chaser), concentrate on Stamina, Power, and Intelligence with a slight emphasis on Speed instead.
