Alteil: Defender of Seasons / Sakon


Sakon seems to have more potential than her counterpart Meltiria. Let's look at the Defender of Season's skills and stats.


As a soul skill, Sakon would probably work well with a Discarder file especially when dealing against Rush files. The grammar may be wrong (1 cards) but you get the idea. For every enemy unit with HP 0 or lower, send 1 card from the file to the cemetery. Its a trade-off between sending a card after sacrificing 2 LP in Lria or sending potentially more cards in Sakon. Of course, if your up against a Biggies, you might not even be able to send a file to the grave. And if you don't have Lria, then Sakon might be a good SS alternative.

For SP Stealing Decks, Sakon's start skill might be of use too. The battle-time night clause might be bypassed by Eskatia (though I've yet to see an SP Stealing deck use her). But Sakon just might create a new SP Stealing type of deck, and along with Mad Priest and Nightmare Given Form, might completely create an SP lock for your opponent.

Sakon is a two hitter (like Winston, Shvara, Folrart Dual-wielders, etc. with a twist. You are penalized an LP if you kill an enemy unit). Now why would a player want that? Must be desperate to use this skill or you want to trigger a certain SS. 

The close skill seems to be aimed as a counter against MAX HP - 60  hate SS and similar effects. But I don't think it is effective against Sergis or Folrart Paladin SS. Perhaps the conditional use should be changed to MAX HP = 0 or lower for wider coverage.

Decent stats for a level 4 unit at 60 HP, and AGI 4. ATK could have been higher, but I guess Aoizakura's DEF bypassing ability more than makes up for the low ATK. Again, similar to Meltiria, it is just strange that the card type does not match the decks that I think this card should be placed in. Still, this card just might see more playtime than Meltiria. I would recommend trying her out to those who can afford buying a set.
