Mulligan (Starting Cards)
- Bowstring of Heaven and Earth, Artemis (G1) = Keep x1, to ensure a Grade 1 ride.
- Twilight Hunter, Artemis (G2) = Keep x1, to ensure a Grade 2 ride. Would also recommend keeping Witch of Ravens, Chamomile (G2) or other Soul Charging card if you did not get this card.
- Oracle Queen, Himiko (G3) = Keep x1, to ensure a Grade 3 ride.
- Battle Deity of the Night, Artemis (G3) = Keep x1 (optional), if you didn't get Oracle Queen, Himiko (G3).
- Goddess of Self-sacrifice, Kushinada (G1) = Keep at least x1.
Basic Battle Strategies
- This deck focuses on using Soul Charge and Soul Blasts mainly to draw cards and increase field presence.
- If the ride chain failed right from the start, at least try to ride Artemis (G2) to Soul Charge cards, and to add +1,000 Power to your Artemis (G3) later on. If you missed Artemis (G2), use Battle Maiden, Sahohime (G2) as your backup for Soul Charging cards.
- In case of a miss-ride, go and ride straight to Artemis (G3) or any viable Grade 3 Vanguard for now, then re-ride to your preferred Grade 3 Vanguard/s depending on the situation.
- TIP: If you have Himiko (G3) as your current Vanguard, make sure to place 2 rear-guards (preferably Boosters) before riding Artemis (G3), this way you'll be able to maximize Himiko's (G3) "Break Ride" skill.
Recommended Cards to Put Into Your Soul
- Aim for Witch of Frogs, Melissa (G1) and Witch of Ravens, Chamomile (G2). You may also send other cards into your Soul.
- NOTE: Choose these units when using Soul Blasts (mostly with Grade 3 Vanguards) to activate their skills from your Soul. If done right, you can increase your field presence and also setup multi attacks using these units!
How To Use Battle Deity of the Night, Artemis (G3)
- (VC): LB4 When this unit attacks a Vanguard, SB3 to draw 2 cards, put a card from your hand into your Soul, and this unit gets +5,000 Power until end of battle.
- Example Combo: Use your rear-guards to attack first (best if un-boosted, so setup high base Power rear-guards here if possible), then attack your opponent's Vanguard to use Artemi's (G3) LB4 skill. Soul Blast and choose Witch of Frogs, Melissa (G1) and/or Witch of Ravens, Chamomile (G2) to call them out to the field (retire your front/back row units to setup multi attacks, place them to the back row for later use, or to the front row to intercept).
- Consider setting up multi attacks when your opponent's Damage is at 4~5 (or lower) to clear out their Intercepts, pop their Sentinel Cards (PG), and get the win!
- (VC): Persona Blast (discard a Battle Deity of the Night, Artemis (G3) from your hand) to look at 5 cards from the top of your deck, add a card to your hand, and put the rest on the bottom of your deck.
- Useful for getting cards like Sentinel Cards (PG), an intercept card, another Battle Deity of the Night, Artemis (G3), or other cards that you might need depending on the situation (like specific cards to put into Soul).
- (VC): If Twilight Hunter, Artemis (G2) is in your Soul, this unit gets +1,000 Power.
How To Use Eternal Goddess, Iwanagahime (G3)
- (VC): LB4 SB6 to retire all of your opponent's front row rear-guards.
- The best time to use this skill is when you have Himiko (G3) as Grade 3 Vanguard and your opponent's Damage is at 4 or 5 to try and get the win!
- Ride Iwanagahime (G3) and activate Himiko's (G3) "Break Ride" skill to buff up your Vanguard and columns, especially boosters. Use Iwanagahime's (G3) LB4 skill to clear out their front row units.
- Soul Blast will be used so again choose Witch of Frogs, Melissa (G1) and/or Witch of Ravens, Chamomile (G2) to call them out to the field (now setup 3 attacks directly to the Vanguard).
- TIP: If you have extra copies of Witch of Frogs, Melissa (G1) and/or Witch of Ravens, Chamomile (G2) in your Soul, you can use Himiko's (G3) "Break Ride" skill to setup more attacks by Soul Blasting those units when using Iwanagahime (G3) to attack the Vanguard!
- (VC): SB3 to get +5,000 Power until end of turn.
- Only use if needed, to overcome defensive triggers.Counter Blasts
