Early game
“Destroyer” Milim acts as your main source of early-game damage thanks to her formidable 4,000 power and ability to perform two trigger checks.
For My Comrades, Rimuru and Within a Blissful Dream, Shizu are dependable supporters that provide additional power and deck thinning to help you find what you need.
The 3Rs: Refill, Replenish, Return!
Don’t be afraid to play aggressively because you have plenty of tools to help refill your hand, replenish your stock, and return characters from your waiting room; and that’s before factoring in the eight choice climaxes!
This motley crew ensures you’ll always be able to return characters from your waiting room. Savant, Hakurou in particular is a constant presence that gets stronger the later the game goes.
The capable femme fatale duo of Capable Lady, Shion and Capable Lady, Shuna provide reliable backup in a pinch and helps to either replenish your stock or cycle your hand when used.
Late game
All your early-to-mid game resource management was to help enable your primary win condition of Inherited Form, Rimuru and Nameless Story! This powerful climax combo allows you to replace Rimuru with any other character from your waiting room for a secondary attack. With the proper set up, you could even loop multiple copies of Inherited Form, Rimuru from your waiting room, healing one clock damage each time he is put on stage by this effect!
Benimaru Breaking the Enemy’s Formation provides a useful power boost to your other characters and doubles up as a secondary finisher to close out the game with his burn.
