Here we are, our new weekly post that will focus on a particular card. And, we’ll start off with the Fire Legend himself. Akstar (13-002L). Technically he’s not “The” Fire Legend, but he is a Fire Legend.
Let’s take a look.
4CP – Fire
Forward
Job : Mercenary
8000 Power
Legend
4CP/8K not bad, just your average 4 cost Forward.
When Akstar enters the field, choose 1 card with EX Burst in your Damage Zone. You may trigger its EX Burst effect. (This effect is put on the stack.)
Damage 3 ― When Akstar enters the field, you may search for 1 Category FFBE Character other than Card Name Akstar and add it to your hand.
Judging by the text, we need EX Bursts, and Brave Exvius Characters.
For the FFBE we have Rain (13-017H). Physalis (13-028L), Lasswell (13-105R), and Charlotte (13-023R). All of them Forwards, none with an EX Burst. All these characters will be searchable by Akstar once you have received 3 points of Damage.
Rain’s cost is reduced by one CP for each Fire Backup you have on the field. So, it’s only common sense to play only Fire Backups. Larkeicus (13-014R), if only to remove that pesky Forward that’s troubling you. Vivi, a cheap backup with an EX Burst that deals 5K Damage to one of your opponents Forwards. Lebreau (1-030R), because every Mono-Fire deck needs her. Even though we’re splashing a little bit of Ice. Mootie (11-012C), because we have Bahamut (13-012R) and it will help pay for the cost of Bahamut. Class Second Moogle (10-016C), to help us pay for our Ice Forwards, as Class Second Moogle can produce Ice CP. And Lilty (11-020C), to search for an Ice card in our deck.
Now once Rain enters the field or attacks, he’ll be dealing up to 5K Damage to one of your opponents Forwards. You’ll either Break a Forward, or Damage them enough that they won’t block. And if they do they’ll probably just get sent to the Break Zone anyway.
Lasswell, Rain’s buddy, compliments Rain. Because every time Rain attacks Lasswell deals 3K damage to a forward. Not just Rain though, anytime any Fire or Ice Forward attacks. That means if you have 5 Forwards attacking, all of them will allow Lasswell to deal Damage 5 times.
Physalis. Depending on your opponents hand, determines just how good Physalis will be. She might be able to close out some matches for you, as she’ll be able to Dull and Freeze a Forward every time she attacks. You won’t be able to use her ability unless you Discard an Ice card to pay for the 2 Ice CP you need. This might be something we’ll need to fix in this deck.
Charlotte, the meat shield. She’ll be taking most of the Damage from Summons and Abilities, that way Rain, Physalis and Lasswell, will mostly remain protected long enough for them to deal crucial Damage.
The rest of the Forwards we have are : Gadot (1-007R) just to play an extra 2CP Fire Forward from you hand at no extra cost. Morrow (11-013R) and Firion (7-132S) are both the cards you will play. Morrow well because he gets stronger the more Damage you take, and can attack twice at 6 points of Damage. And, Firion because of the EX Burst. You’ll mostly just throw him in to get his ability damage and then just use him as a blocker.
Titania (13-132S), although you’ll have to have a Forward, Backup, Summon and a Monster in your Break Zone to be able to play Titania, Titania will come in Dell and Freeze to Characters and allow your other Forwards to go for the kill.
Fang ( 1-020R), she’s in her to help reduce the cost of Bahamut. that way we’ll be able to play Bahamut for a total cost of 0CP. Now, you’ll say that it can’t become 0. No worries. Mootie will pay 1CP to help cast Bahamut and will activate once Bahamut is cast. And that will give your opponents Forward 8K Damage, which might break it. If not Fang is still on the field to attack for 7K.
Lani (12-018H), I just like this card, and being able to possibly take your opponents top card and cast it as your own is always a plus.
Amaterasu (12-002H), no need to explain this one.
Lava Spider (8-022R), and Grenade (5-008R) are both cards need to be able to play Titania, but they both help as Lava Spider gives your Attacking Forwards +3K, and Grenade will be able to Break a Forward when they enter the field as long as their Power is less than 8K.
Here’s the run down.
Forwards
Gadot (1-007R) x3
Firion (7-132S) x2
Morrow (11-013R) x3
Charlotte (13-023R) x3
Titania (13-132S) x1
Fang (1-020R) x3
Lani (12-018H) x2
Akstar (13-002L) x3
Physalis (13-028L) x3
Lasswell (13-105R) x3
Rain (13-017H) x3
Backups
Larkeicus (13-014R) x2
Vivi (3-018C) x1
Class Second Moogle (10-016C) x3
Lebreau (1-030R) x3
Mootie (11-012C) x2
Lilty (11-020C) x3
Summons
Amaterasu (12-002H) x3
Bahamut (13-012R) x2
Monsters
Lava Spider (8-022R) x1
Grenade (5-008R) x1
You’ll pretty much want to get yourself to 3 points of Damage, and then start your Brave Exvius onslaught. Rain and Physalis will be your main attackers, and you’ll want to keep them on the field for as long as you can.
Any improvements to this Deck? Let us know in the comments.
