Uma Fighters Characters
All 5 Uma Fighters characters: Aurora, Director, Haru Urara, Rice Shower, Tamano Cross, plus Macchan title. Kits, unlocks, guides.
All Uma Fighters Characters
Uma Fighters is in ALPHA on Roblox with five playable fighters — Aurora, The Director, Haru Urara, Rice Shower, and Tamano Cross — plus Macchan, a title collectible found at eight map locations (not a combat character). All fighters share core inputs (M1, skills 1–4, F block, Q dash, R Special, G Awaken) but play completely different neutral and combo games.
This page covers each kit, unlock expectations, Carats and Early Access context, and training paths linking to our character guides.
If you are brand new, read Getting Started and Controls before picking a main.
ALPHA Roster Overview — August 2026
Umaniacs expanded the roster beyond the original Aurora and Director duo. Ranked lobbies now mix five kits — tier discussion lives on the Tier List.
| Character | Role | Difficulty | Tier (community) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aurora | Balanced all-rounder | Easy | S |
| Haru Urara | Popular fundamentals | Easy–Medium | A–S |
| Rice Shower | Combo specialist | Medium | S–A |

Currency note: Uma Fighters uses Carats for shop items. Redeem RELEASE for 250 Carats on our Codes page. Some roster access may tie to Early Access gamepass (~299 Robux) — see Gamepasses.
Aurora — The Balanced Fighter
Aurora is the default character and the best teacher for Uma Fighters systems. No money costs, no summons, no second moveset — honest fundamentals.
Aurora’s Abilities
| Ability | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| M1 Combo | Basic Attack | 4-hit combo chain with good range |
| Ability 1 | Dash Strike | Quick forward dash with damage |
| Ability 2 | AoE Blast | Area attack hitting multiple enemies |
| Ability 3 | Counter | Punishes attacking opponents |
| Ultimate | Enhanced Mode | All abilities become stronger |
Deep dive: Aurora Guide — still the top starter after roster expansion.
Haru Urara — The Fan Favorite
Haru Urara brings Uma Musume personality with approachable kit flow. High pick rate in community lobbies makes her a strong second main after Aurora.
- Neutral — Readable M1 pressure without resource traps
- Popularity — More mirror matches = faster matchup learning
- Awaken — Standard G timing; see Ultimate Mode

Rice Shower — The Combo Specialist
Rice Shower leads early community combo discussion — strong confirm chains and corner carry in PvP clips.
- Combo ceiling — Among the highest route extenders in ALPHA
- Matchups — Rewards lab time in training before ranked
- Tier buzz — S–A placement on Tier List pending balance passes

Tamano Cross — The Flexible Bruiser
Tamano Cross sits in the solid A-tier middle — balanced tools without Aurora’s tutorial simplicity or Director’s economy puzzle.
- Second main — Natural step after Aurora fundamentals
- Spacing — Patient neutral before committing to confirms
- Growth potential — May rise with QOL follow-up patches

The Director — The Complex Fighter
The Director introduces money management, summons, and dual moveset swap with R. High reward, high execution cost.
The Director’s Unique Mechanics
Money System: Some abilities cost in-game money. Whiffed spends are free punishes.
Summons: Bodyguards zone and distract — do not chase every extra.
Dual Moveset (R): Two movesets mid-fight; opponents must read which set is active.

Macchan — Title Collectible (Not a Fighter)
Macchan is not playable. Collect the title by visiting eight locations across the map. No combat stats, no tier placement — pure cosmetic bragging rights.
