Vanguard ZERO: Dark Irregulars Reijy/Witching Hour Deck Build and Guide


Here's a quick guide and tips for Dark Irregulars Blade Wing Reijy and Witching Hour Series Deck users in the RPG mobile card game Vanguard ZERO. Available for Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store).

When "Reijy" is placed on the field, you can put up to 3 cards with the same name as 1 of your rear-guards from deck into Soul. Soul-charge a lot of "Dimension Creeper", and power up your "Witching Hour" rear-guards! "Reijy" will become super powerful with 15 Soul, so be sure to aim for that!

Trigger Sets

Rank Fight Trigger Set

   - Critical Trigger (x0), Draw Trigger (x9), Stand Trigger (x0), and Heal Trigger (x4)
   - Refer to the build above (screenshot) for example Trigger Set for specific cards.
   - Set Heal Triggers to your Demon Chariot of the Witching Hour (G3) to add more Heal Triggers when using it's skill!

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.

Dark Irregulars Battle Strategies

Mulligan (Starting Cards)

   - Dimension Creeper (G1) = Keep x1, preferred Grade 1 Vanguard.
   - Demon Bike of the Witching Hour (G1) = Keep x1, but avoid using as Grade 1 Vanguard if possible.
   - Any Grade 2 Card = Keep x1 to ensure a Grade 2 ride.
   - Blade Wing Raijy (G3) = Keep x1 to secure a Grade 3 ride.

   - March Rabbit of Nightmareland (G1) = Keep at least x1 (optional).

Basic Battle Strategies

   - Your main focus for this deck build is to place 15 cards into your Soul to activate Reijy's (G3) skill. Also try to activate your Grade 1 and 2 "Witching Hour" cards to give them Crits!

   - Dimension Creeper (G1) = Ride as Grade 1 Vanguard if possible to activate it's skill from Soul later on, or place to the back row (best if you have copies) then use Reijy's (G3) skill to target this card and send it's copies from your deck to your Soul.
   - Moving 3 copies into your Soul would help you Soul Charge up to 6 cards (use their skill from your Soul).
   - Also use Free Traveler (G2) to send these cards to Soul (select other card if you will use Reijy's (G3) skill to your Dimension Creeper (G1) though).


   - Demon Bike of the Witching Hour (G1) = This is your alternative target for Reijy's (G3) skill, especially when you only have 1 Dimension Creeper (G1) left in deck. Do not ride as Grade 1 Vanguard unless you have no choice or have a copy in hand, use as rear-guard early on and use it's skill to increase Power and/or Crit during your turn (use as Booster or Attacker).

   - Hades Carriage of the Witching Hour (G2) = Kinda similar with Demon Bike of the Witching Hour (G1) above.

   - NOTE: In case of a miss-ride, ride your sub Vanguard Amon (G3), then re-ride Reijy (G3) later on. Activate your Grade 1 and 2 "Witching Hour" units as additional source of Crit attacks.
   - If you rode Amon (G3), you can send these cards from hand or field to Soul as well while retiring your opponent's rear-guards!

How to Use Blade Wing Reijy (G3)

Blade Wing Raijy (G3)
   - (VC): When placed, put 3 cards with the same name as 1 of your rear-guards from your deck into your Soul.
   - Before riding, make sure to place at least 1 recommended Grade 1 or 2 card listed above first, to use as target for this skill.
   - It is also ok to target another Grade 1, Grade 2, or Amon (G3) by doing re-rides if you need to add more cards (open your deck's cards list during battle to double check - lower left corner icon).

   - (VC): During your turn, if your Soul has 15 or more cards, this unit gets +15,000 Power and Critical +2.
   - Reijy (G3) would be able to reach 26,000 Power with this skill, the Crit +2 is also really good against Limit Break users if you'll just attack the Vanguard while their Damage is at 3, keep breaking those Sentinel Cards (PG) and hopefully get the win!

How to Use Demon Chariot of the Witching Hour (G3)

Demon Chariot of the Witching Hour (G3)
   - (RC): During your turn, this unit gets +2,000 Power for each Demon Chariot of the Witching Hour (G3) in your Soul. If you have 3 or more, then this unit gets Critical +1.

   - (VC/RC): When placed, add a Demon Chariot of the Witching Hour (G3), a Hades Carriage of the Witching Hour (G2), and a Demon Bike of the Witching Hour (G1) to your deck.
   - Works really great for this build as a rear-guard unit because you'll be able to add cards to your deck to avoid getting deck outs, and the best thing is that you can add more Heal Triggers to your deck, increasing your Trigger and Heal chance!
   - It's a Grade 3 unit though so it can't Intercept, replace it with an Intercept card if needed.

   - TIP: Always check how many cards you have left (below 15 or 10 is still doable), just limit your Soul Charging after placing 15 cards to Soul, and use your FV's skill to search this card from deck if needed.

Counter Blasts

Greedy Hand (FV) Devil in Shadow FVGwynn the Ripper G3Amon G3
   - Greedy Hand (FV) = CB1 and put this unit into your Soul to put a Grade 2 or less card from your deck into your Soul.
   - Devil in Shadow (FV) = CB1 and put this unit into your Soul to look at 5 cards from the top of your deck, and add a Grade 3 or greater card to your hand.
   - Emblem Master (G2) = When attack hits a Vanguard, CB1 to Soul Charge 3.
   - Free Traveler (G2) = When placed, CB1 to put a Grade 2 or less card from your deck into your Soul. Works great with Dimension Creeper (G1) and other "Witching Hour" cards.

   - Demon World Marquis, Amon (G3) = CB1 and place 1 of your rear guards to your Soul, to retire 1 enemy unit at random, prioritizing back row first. If used as a sub Vanguard.
   - 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.

   - Note: Also consider other card effects that requires Counter Blasts if needed.

How To Build 21,000+ Power Columns

Vanguard + Booster

   - Blade Wing Reijy (G3) = 11,000 base Power Vanguard, can reach 26,000 Power alone with skill.

   - Demon World Marquis, Amon (G3) = 11,000 base Power Vanguard (+1000 for each card in your Soul).
   - Any 7,000 Booster (G1) + Amon (G3) = 21,000 total Power (need at least 3 cards in Soul).

Rear Guards + Booster

   - Any 7,000 Booster (G1)
   - Any 7,000 Booster (G1) + Hades Carriage (G2) = 21,000 total Power (if you have 3 cards in Soul).
   - Any 7,000 Booster (G1) + Any Rear Guard with at least 9,000~12,000 Power = 16,000~19,000 Power (21,000~24,000 Power with +5,000 "Trigger Check" buff).

   - Demon Bike of the Witching Hour (G1) = 6,000 Power Booster (+2,000 per copy in Soul).
   - Demon Bike (G1) + Any Rear Guard with at least 9,000~11,000 Power = 21,000~23,000 total Power (if you have 3 cards in Soul).
   - Demon Bike (G1) + Any Rear Guard with at least 11,000 Power = 21,000 total Power (if you have 2 cards in Soul).
   - Demon Bike (G1) + Hades Carriage (G2) = 26,000 total Power (if both cards have 3 cards in Soul).

   - 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.
