Here's a quick guide and tips for Oracle Think Tank Tsukuyomi Deck users in the RPG mobile card game Vanguard ZERO.
"Tsukuyomi" cards are able to ride from Deck without going through the hand. By skillfully riding on "Goddess of the Full Moon", Soul cards will increase to 6, and your hand cards can increase with their own skill, making it possible for various tactical strategies. Lastly, use the skill of 'Euryale" and "Silent Tom" to nullify the Sentinel!

Trigger Sets
Rank Fight Trigger Set
- Critical Trigger (x0), Draw Trigger (x5~x7), Stand Trigger (x2~x4), and Heal Trigger (x4)- Critical Trigger (x2~x4), Draw Trigger (x5~x7), Stand Trigger (x0), and Heal Trigger (x4)
- Refer to the build above (screenshot) for example Triggers Set for specific cards. Reduce and balance Draw Triggers if you are getting "Deck Outs".
- Do not set Heal Triggers to your Tsukuyomi (G3).
- Setting Heal Triggers to your CEO Amaterasu (G3) is ok, just recycle it back to deck if you will no longer use it.
- Stand Triggers can help Faithful Angel (G2) and Secretary Angel (G3) recycle more cards, to clear some rear guards, and to help break through Sentinel Cards (PG).
- Critical Triggers can help you land and reach 5 Damage asap, or end the battle before you run out of cards.
For Non Rank Fight Battles
- NOTE: Feel free to experiment with other Trigger Sets according to your preference. Add more Critical Triggers and/or Stand Triggers if you want to use this deck for certain events, like non Rank Fights that would require you to finish the battle asap.Oracle Think Tank Battle Strategies
Mulligan (Starting Cards)
- Goddess of the Crescent Moon, Tsukuyomi (G1) = Keep x1.
- Goddess of the Half Moon, Tsukuyomi (G2) = Keep x1.
- Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi (G3) = Keep x1.
- CEO Amaterasu (G3) = Keep x1, optional if you didn't get Tsukuyomi (G3).
- Battle Sister, Chocolat (G1) = Keep at least x1.
- Goddess of the Half Moon, Tsukuyomi (G2) = Keep x1.
- Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi (G3) = Keep x1.
- CEO Amaterasu (G3) = Keep x1, optional if you didn't get Tsukuyomi (G3).
- Battle Sister, Chocolat (G1) = Keep at least x1.
Basic Battle Strategies
- Complete the Combo Chain until you can ride Tsukuyomi (G3).- Efficiently play your cards according to your opponent's cards in play, don't rush in and place all your cards unnecessarily especially if you up against decks with high field control. This way, you can easily manage your cards in hand depending on the situation.
- Use your Intercept cards to minimize damages and to control how many Damage you want to take for your Counter Blast users.
What If The Chain Ride Failed?
Option 1:- Use "Soul Charge" cards depending on how many cards you need (need at least 6 total cards in Soul).
- CEO Amaterasu (G3) = Ride first to use "Soul Charge" then ride Tsukuyomi (G3) once you have at least 5 cards in your Soul (CEO Amaterasu (G3) will be your 6th).
- If you failed right from the start and did not ride both Tsukuyomi (G1) and (G2), you'll need 3 more cards into the Soul. Better use CEO Amaterasu (G3) as Vanguard at this point.
- If you rode Tsukuyomi (G1) but missed Tsukuyomi (G2), you'll need 2 more cards into the Soul. Use CEO Amaterasu (G3) as Vanguard or use 2 Red Eye (G2) cards.
- If you just missed Tsukuyomi (G1) but able to ride Tsukuyomi (G2), you just need 1 card into the Soul. Use CEO Amaterasu (G3) as Vanguard or use 1 Red Eye (G2) card, you can also ride any Grade 3 card before riding Tsukuyomi (G3) or any Grade 3 if you don't have.
- TIP: If you want to avoid getting a "Deck Out" vs certain decks, ride any Grade 3 card instead of CEO Amaterasu (G3) if you were able to ride both Tsukuyomi (G1) and (G2). Use CEO Amaterasu (G3) as rear guard instead if you want to use her skill.
- Remember this especially when you are using Oracle Guardian, Red Eye (G2) to place cards into your Soul.
Option 2:
- Do a "Re-Ride" but don't overdo it though. If for example you have Tsukuyomi (G2) but your current Vanguard is already Grade 2, then just do a Re-Ride especially if you have Tsukuyomi (G3) in hand.
Counter Blasts
- Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi (G3) = CB2 to increase your cards. Just make sure though that your card in hand is NOT 8 or more before using this skill.
- CEO Amaterasu (G3) = Use this unit's skill when you need to draw cards to get Grade 2 Intercept cards, Sentinel Cards (PG), Silent Tom (G2), and other cards you need. This would consume Soul cards though, so your other cards would lose their skill effect, use only when needed.
- NOTE: Do not use her skill if your opponent's Damage is 5, use it instead to attack a Rear Guard to avoid getting blocked by a Sentinel Card (PG).
- Note: Also consider other card effects that requires Counter Blasts if needed.
Recycle Cards in Hand to Deck
- NOTE: If you have CEO Amaterasu (G3) as Vanguard and the next card you checked is a Trigger that you can use, remember not to use the 3 cards mentioned above or else you'll lose that Trigger. On the other hand, if you are able to check a non Trigger card like Silent Tom (G2) that you want to get into your hand, then use any of the 3 cards above to get that card.
Closing Battles
- You can also use Evil-eye Princess, Euryale (G3) if you don't have Silent Tom (G2) to try and bind those Sentinel Cards (PG) before attacking (works better if your opponent got few cards).
If You Want To Level Up Your Game
- Track every card that goes to the bottom of your deck, then use that to your advantage once the deck starts to cycle back to top. Do it fast though to avoid getting a "Time Out" or do it during your opponent's turn or during your Ride Phase.- Use simple words or codes when tracking like 1, 2, S, H, D, PG, or Tom.
- TIP: Check the Log (Menu > View Log) to track cards like "Drive Check No Trigger" and "Put to Deck Bottom". You can also write them down, would recommend to do it from that start and up to 15~20 cards, take note of the first 2 or 3 cards to know when it would start.
How To Build 21,000+ Power Columns
Vanguard + Booster
- Tsukuyomi (G3) = 11,000 base Power Vanguard.- Tsukuyomi (G3) + Any Booster with 7,000~8,000 Power = 18,000~19,000 Power (23,000~24,000 Power with +5,000 "Trigger Check" buff).
- CEO Amaterasu (G3) = 10,000 base Power if used as Vanguard (+4000 Power if you have 2 or more cards in hand).
- CEO Amaterasu (G3) + Any Booster with 7,000~8,000 Power = 21,000~22,000 Power.
Rear Guards + Booster
- Oracle Guardian, Gemini (G1) = 8,000 Power Booster.- Gemini (G1) + Meteor Break Wizard (G3) = 21,000 total Power (CB1).
- Gemini (G1) + Any Rear Guard with 8,000~10,000 Power = 16,000~18,000 total Power (21,000~23,000 Power with +5,000 "Trigger Check" buff).
- Gentle Jimm (G3) = SB1 and discard a card to buff 1 unit with +3,000 Power until the end of turn. Buff columns listed above or these example columns:
- Gemini (G1) + Any Rear Guard with 10,000 Power = 18,000 total Power (21,000 Power with buff).
- NOTE: Gentle Jimm (G3) will consume cards from your Soul, best use if you have more than 6 cards. Also consider using him to buff up your Tom (G2), to land his attack!
- NOTE: Other cards not included here are also OK to use but very situational or unsustainable, use them if needed.
