Alteil Set 10: Emana

The 5-star card for Falkow in Set 10 is Princess of the Key / Emana. One would think that since she's a mermaid. she would be great for mermaid decks. But ever since set 10 has been out, I have seen Emana become a critical part of an Eternal Morning Deck and even a Mystere deck. Let's check out her stats and skills and see why this card is very versatile.

For a level 3 Falkow card, HP of 60 will always suggest some kind of tank. And I have seen this in an Emana Mystere based deck where Emana is buffed and protects Mystere. And Emana's Start Skill, Mermaid Water Enchantment, is great for Mystere decks since she gives most enemy cards AGI values of 0 and below. Ordinary Mystere returns a card with AGI 0 or below for 2 SP while EX Mystere deals 60 HP damage to a card with AGI 0 or below. So the synergy is similar to a Dion-Enormous Frog combo except Mystere has an AGI of 3 while Dion has an AGI of 1 and randomly returns an engaged card. Pinpointing is better with Emana and Mystere.

For Eternal Morning Decks, and I would suspect, any deck with a lot of units below level 3, Emana's Mage Jewel Aurora Orb Action Skill is great for surviving a field wipe from cards such as Allind, Ball of Flame or Roar of the Flame Emperor. Her 60 HP allows her to survive Allind, and for 1 SP, she revives all closed friendly units.

Finally, her Fey Blade Meliae Action Skill can be used in tandem with her Start Skill to kill off opponents with AT values higher than their HP. Say Astaforse already has an attack power greater than 70 HP at the start of the turn and has not modified her HP, Emana can use the opponent's strength against themselves, kinda like a martial arts master.

This card is even great as a Soul Skill since you can replace Rasam SS with it. Most times, just engaging a single critical unit is enough to foil your opponent's plans and Emana gives you SP that might be crucial for the next turn.

Overall, Emana is a great card, deserving of its 5-star rating. Get her while she's hot!!!
