Angel Feather Battle Strategies

Mulligan (Starting Cards)

   - Any Grade 1 Card (G1) = Keep x1, get another Grade 1 card if you want to keep Nociel (G1).
   - Any Grade 2 Card (G2) = Keep x1, get another Grade 2 card if you want to keep Nociel (G2).
   - Chief Nurse, Shamsiel (G3) = Keep x1 to ensure a Grade 3 Vanguard.

   - Crimson Impact, Metatron (G3) = Keep x1, if you didn't get Shamsiel (G3).
   - Pure Keeper, Requiel (G1) = Keep at least x1 (optional).

Basic Battle Strategies

   - This deck build will focus on using the Damage Zone as an extension of your hand, while enhancing your column's Power.

   - For the early part of battle, ride Pegasus (G1) and Pegasus (G2) if you have to increase your defense every time your opponent lands a Damage.
   - Plan how many Intercepts to use to control incoming damage, for your Counter Blast users.

   - If you went first, try to use Medical Gunner, Hermieres (G3) if you have, to set up multi attacks while your opponent's Vanguard is still at Grade 2.

   - By default, ride Shamsiel (G3) for defense and counter charging. Fully use the skills of Armoros (G2) and Hermieres (G3) first, recover CBs, then ride Metatron (G3).
  - If you don't have Shamsiel (G3), ride straight to Metatron (G3), switch between this 2 depending on the situation or what you need.

   - NOTE: Limit Break skills can be used earlier than usual by using self damaging cards like Doctroid Micros (G1) or Doctroid Megalos (G2).

How To Use Nociel (G1) and Nociel (G2)

Battle Cupid, Nociel (G1)Love Machine Gun, Nociel (G2)
   - Avoid riding Nociel (G1) and Nociel (G2), use them as rear guards to use their skills (unless needed).
   - Both units can be used like a Counter Charger, place a card face-up, then take a face-down card (this way you'll be able to use more Counter Blasts).
   - If needed, filter a card in hand to select a card that you need from the Damage Zone like a Sentinel Card (PG), an Intercept card, your FV with Heal Trigger, or a Grade 3 unit that you might want to ride as Vanguard next turn.

   - Place Pegasus (G1) or Pegasus (G2) first before using "swaps" to buff these cards and increase your column's Power.
