The Uma Musume game has been in development for quite a while, so honestly, when Tosen Jordan first appeared, even though she was supposed to be a gyaru, I couldn't shake the feeling that she seemed a bit outdated. Her performance wasn't outstanding either, so despite being a character that seemed to be deliberately released, she didn't really shine in Champions Meetings, various content, or even fan creations.
It seems the developers realized that Jordan wasn't selling as well as they expected, so this time they really went all out. They updated her Uma Talk presentation to match current trends, and changed her hairstyle from twin tails to long, straight hair. The costume design is also sophisticated, and even her expressions are incredibly refreshing, so there were tons of users who went to pull her without even looking at her performance.
Of course, if you delve into her performance, all of her skills are excessively focused on the Tenno Sho (Autumn) racecourse, making her versatility quite low. You can use her on other courses, but there's already a strong competitor for mid-range Lead runners: Neo Universe.
As a result, she's rarely used in Champions Meetings or Horse-Os, and even in Japan, where the Champions Meeting is currently based on the Tenno Sho (Autumn) course, she's not a top-tier pick. It's fine if you want to pull her because you like her face, but you should be aware that there aren't that many content where she can shine.
Both her evolution skills and held skills point towards mid-range. Also, considering the course where she can maximize the effects of her acceleration skills, it's the 2,000m Tokyo course. She's truly a sniper position looking only at the Tenno Sho (Autumn).
Unlike the original, who was closer to a Front Runner, she's completely specialized for Lead. The skill conditions themselves are for Lead, and her unique skill also has a more suitable ranking condition for Lead, so it's best to train her as a Lead runner.
It's good that she has speed and power boosts, but she also has a growth in stamina, which isn't really necessary for the 2,000m, her main stage. You can usually fill the stamina needed for that distance with events or inheritance, so it's a bit disappointing.
Activation Condition 1: Condition "Excellent" / Distance Traveled Ratio 40% or more, 50% or less / Ranking Ratio 40% or more, 80% or less (Champions Meeting: 4th~7th / Team Stadium: 5th~10th / Full Gate: 7th~14th)
Activation Condition 2: Distance Traveled Ratio 40% or more, 50% or less / Ranking Ratio 40% or more, 80% or less (Champions Meeting: 4th~7th / Team Stadium: 5th~10th / Full Gate: 7th~14th)
When the condition is Excellent, the speed increase value increases from 0.25 to 0.3. The activation condition itself isn't that difficult, and even if you get the additional effect, it's not a unique skill that feels that strong. Keep in mind that it's difficult to use with a Front Runner style because the ranking condition is 4th~7th.
Her held skills are a bit bad. First of all, you'll almost never learn skills like 'Light Step' or 'Dark Horse', and 'Audacious' and 'Desperate Resolve' are strong skills only on specific courses, so their versatility isn't good. However, since both skills become completely different skills when evolved, the evaluation here doesn't mean much.
Usually, when a rare skill evolves, the speed value increases further, or a new effect (acceleration, vision, positioning, etc.) is added, but in the case of Vacation Jordan, it's unique in that the activation timing changes completely, making it a completely different skill from the existing rare skill.
The 'I'm the Best!' evolution skill for Audacious has a new condition attached: mid-range / random final corner, and the 'Unlimited Chance!' evolution skill for Desperate Resolve becomes a new skill with a random final corner in the first half of the race's final stage + an additional effect for the Tokyo Racecourse.
Overall, she's the type that shines only after her evolution skills are evolved, and since both skills are skills that snipe the Tenno Sho (Autumn) course, it's essential to evolve them. The effects also increase further, of course.
