Alteil: Beating Batora

Was finally able to beat Batora last night. I used an Urgant file, and I must say, the keys to victory are:

• Having returns / tidal wave to remove the Hercules guy - the Batora agent with fully restores HP as a close skill.
• Having Belus in the field to engage a Batora agent so that only one agent is active per turn, or if possible, no agents are active per turn.

Although cyclone would be a good card against Batora files since the agents are either at level 0 or level 1, whenever Batora plays Albert, he also decreases the level of your units permanently (either as an open skill or as an auto skill). So if you play cyclone, you end up returning your own units.

The following is a list of Batora's soul skills:

• SS1: 1 LP send random enemy directly to the cemetery
• SS2: 2 LP both iczers get SP=0
• SS3: 3 LP return all cards to the cemetery (Ala Bulerigid except 3 LP)
• SS4: 1 LP engage all enemy units (Ala Afel except only lasts for the turn)
• SS5: 3 LP revive all batora units, engaged units get HP=0

That last skill is a killer if Batora had units on the field. Guess I was lucky that Urgant and Astaforse were killing Batora agents with a single hit. Faytis was also handy at times.

Good luck to those who haven't beaten Batora yet. Perhaps my experience can help you out.
