How To Use Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier (G3)
- (VC): LB4, CB2 to call up 1 Grade 0~3 (one each Grade) from your Soul.
- You can really do a lot of combinations here depending on the situation and cards in Soul. Just keep playing while learning some good combinations. Also use for Soul Charging more cards.
- Once your opponent got 1 Life left (or 5 Damage), on hit multi attack skills are no longer effective because of those Sentinel Cards (PG), so use her during Main Phase, to setup 3 attacks.
- Also use Purple Trapezist (G1) to help you set up the field if needed.
- (VC): When your rear-guard is placed from Soul, this unit gets +3,000 Power until end of turn.
- If you called in 3~4 units during your turn, this unit can reach 20,000~23,000 Power.
- Also works great with Girl Who Crossed the Gap (FV) if you are using her, combo with 1 or 2 Purple Trapezist (G1) to switch in/out more cards.
How To Use Purple Trapezist (G1)
- Aside from the ones mentioned above, you can use Purple Trapezist (G1) during your Main Phase to adjust your columns/units/or defense, to place cards back to your Soul, or to activate certain skills like Soul Charging.
- Can also be used during Battle Phase, when called from Soul, to use as Booster, to switch a front unit that can no longer attack (rest state), to switch a back row unit that can no longer Boost (rest state) or doesn't have anything to Boost for example.
Counter Blasts
- Girl Who Crossed the Gap (FV) = CB1 and put this unit into your Soul to call a card other than Girl Who Crossed the Gap (FV) from your Soul.
- Dancing Princess of the Night Sky (G2) = Add x4. When placed, CB1 to put a Grade 2 or lower card from your deck into your Soul. Use early on in case you can pull Heal Triggers and recover CBs.
- Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier (G3) = LB4, CB2 to call up 1 Grade 0~3 (one each Grade) from your Soul. Reserve CBs for her skill.
- Nightmare Doll, Alice (G3) = When attack hits a Vanguard, CB1 to put this unit into your Soul, then call a card other than Nightmare Doll, Alice (G3) from your Soul. Switch to an Intercept card, Booster, Attacker, or any card needed like Purple Trapezist (G1) or other CB users.
- The best time to use this is during the early part of battle while your opponent's Vanguard got low Power (preferably if you went first), unless your opponent rides a 10,000 base Vanguard.
