Mulligan (Starting Cards)
- Lake Maiden, Lien (G1) or Little Sage, Marron (G1) =Keep x1, if possible to avoid using Snogal (G1) as Vanguard early on.

- Blaster Blade (G2) or Solitary Knight, Gancelot (G3) = Keep x1.
- Fang of Light, Garmore (G3) = Keep x1 to secure a Grade 3 ride.

Basic Battle Strategies
Example Placement
- Place your Snogals (G1) to the back row early on to let them Boost then use them to Intercept later on when needed.- After riding a Grade 2 card, start building Grade 2 Intercept cards, the plan here is to exhaust your enemy's Intercepts while maintaining your own Intercepts to minimize incoming damages.
- Activate card effects, try to always find a way to deploy at least x1 Intercept per turn (best x2). Once you run out of Grade 2 cards, use your dogs to Intercept and use other Grade 1 cards to boost them.
- If possible, avoid discarding Snogal (G1) or other Grade 2 cards when using Garmore (G2), unless needed. Always keep at least 1 dog in play to maintain Garmore's (G3) Power to at least 11,000.
Counter Blasts
- Depending on your playing style, you can go more aggressive by using Blaster Blade (G2) only to retire your opponent's Intercept cards, or play defensively and use Akane (G2) to call your Snogals (G1) to Intercept attacks, in-case Garmore (G2) is not available or viable to use.
- Note: Also consider other card effects that requires Counter Blasts if needed.
How To Build 21,000+ Power Columns
Vanguard + Booster
- Garmore (G3) = 10,000 base Power Vanguard (+1000 for each Snogal (G1) and Brugal (G0).- 7,000 Power Brugal (G0) + Garmore (G3) = 21,000 total Power (with 4 dogs in play).
- 9,000 Power Snogal (G1) + Garmore (G3) = 22,000 total Power (with 3 dogs in play).
- 10,000 Power Snogal (G1) + Garmore (G3) = 24,000 total Power (with 4 dogs in play).
Rear Guards + Booster
- Little Sage, Marron (G1) = 8,000 Power Booster.- Marron (G1) + Palamedes (G3) = 21,000 total Power.
- Marron (G1) + Any Rear Guard with at least 8,000~10,000 Power = 16,000~18,000 Power (21,000~23,000 Power with +5,000 "Trigger Check" buff).
- Snogal (G1) = 7000 base Power Booster, can reach 8,000~9,000 Power if there are 1~2 more dogs (Snogal (G1) and/or Brugal (G0)) in play.
- Snogal (G1) + Twin Shine Swordsman, Marhaus (G3) = 20,000~21,000 total Power.
- Snogal (G1) + Palamedes (G3) = 21,000~22,000 total Power.
- NOTE: Other cards not included here are also OK to use but some are very situational or unsustainable, use them if you like. Also adjust the numbers above depending on your Booster's Power.
