Mulligan (Starting Cards)
- Alluring Succubus (G1) or Prisoner Beast (G1) = Keep x1, if possible to avoid using Doreen the Thruster (G1) as Vanguard early on.
- Any Grade 2 Cards = Keep x1 or x2, would recommend keeping Flirtatious Succubus (G2) or Imprisoned Fallen Angel, Saraqael (G2) as your Grade 2 ride.
- Demon World Marquis, Amon (G3) = Keep x1 to secure a Grade 3 ride. Edel Rose (G3) can also be an alternative to avoid mistakes, then just put it back to your deck if not needed.
- March Rabbit of Nightmareland (G1) = Keep at least x1.
- Any Grade 2 Cards = Keep x1 or x2, would recommend keeping Flirtatious Succubus (G2) or Imprisoned Fallen Angel, Saraqael (G2) as your Grade 2 ride.
- Demon World Marquis, Amon (G3) = Keep x1 to secure a Grade 3 ride. Edel Rose (G3) can also be an alternative to avoid mistakes, then just put it back to your deck if not needed.
- March Rabbit of Nightmareland (G1) = Keep at least x1.
Basic Battle Strategies
- Try to ride Alluring Succubus (G1) > Flirtatious Succubus (G2) early on to get 3 cards in your Soul. If you'll use Imprisoned Fallen Angel, Saraqael (G2) as your Grade 2 Vanguard, make sure to ride Alluring Succubus (G1) or use Vermillion Gatekeeper (FV) to remove her Restraint (SB2), use her to land another 2 easy Damages.- Don't forget to place Doreen the Thruster (G3) first to get those bonuses as well.
- Ride your main Vanguard Amon (G3).
- You don't need to worry too much about how many cards you have in Soul to buff this unit, what you need here is it's ability to retire enemy units.
- Place more Imprisoned Fallen Angel, Saraqael (G2), Werewolf Sieger (G2), and other 11,000 base Power G3 units to keep forcing your opponent to use Boosters or high base Power units, while eliminating them if you can, to keep your plan solid.
- Sacrifice G1 or G3 units you don't need, but try to build at least 1 column that can reach 21,000+ Power for combos.
- In case you can't ride Amon (G3) due to bad luck, ride your sub Vanguard No Life King, Death Anchor (G3) or Demon Eater (G3) if you have.
- It is best to ride No Life King, Death Anchor (G3) once you get 5 Damages and no more CBs to use (if you like). Note that you can use this unit as your first attacker when your opponent's Damage is 4, to check if you can end the battle, or at least pop a Sentinel Card (PG).
Counter Blasts
- Gwynn the Ripper (G2) = CB2, only use to make high impact moves like retiring an Intercept to land more Damage to the opponent's Vanguard. Do not use CB just because you have this card, use it wisely.
- Demon Eater (G3) = CB4, optional, use if you can setup this skill by conserving CBs early on.
- Note: Also consider other card effects that requires Counter Blasts if needed.
How To Build 21,000+ Power Columns
