Alteil has launched Set 11 today and out of the new card set, one of the most anticipated cards would be King of Mankind (KoM) / Verlaat and how it will affect the Refess Sphere. Refess Solar Kingdom has seen a decline in play ever since Holy Knight Lapierre and Kaldrao were nerfed. Is KoM Verlaat the solution? Will Solar Kingdom once again become OP? Let us analyze this card.
The card is level 5 which means that it will take some time before KoM Verlaat can be played on the field. His AGI of 4 is pretty good for a big unit, and his DF makes him a pretty decent front liner. His card type is Solar Kingdom which means that he will benefit from Folrart Knight Captain, Safiria and Aliria. The Royalty subtype allows you play Priestess of the Royal Guard on him to gain an attack immunity for the turn.
His Start Skill will benefit all Solar Kingdom units except himself. And while the ATK does not stack, it is still a decent boost for a full field every turn. Makes you wonder if KoM Verlaat will be a key component in a Solar Kingdom rush file. Watch out for Shining Knigt Zero though (a case where the added DF is bad).
His Open skill reminds me of Storm Wizardress' open skill. But it is dependent on the number of units in your field. The more friendly units you have, the more enemy units you can engage. Again, developers are probably hinting at the possibility of building a Solar Kingdom rush file. SP wise though, it doesn't seem to match if the crucial unit is a level 5 unit. We'll just have to see how ingenious players in Folrart will get.
His Action skill reminds me of Bringers, but it is instead, dependent on the number of friendly units on the field. And instead of healing himself fully, he heals the entire friendly field 20 HP, for a cost of 1 SP. While not as great as HK Lap's auto heal, it is still better and will probably be complemented well by Safiria. It is also a bane to undead units, since it is a MAX HP reduction.
The irony is that his Soul skill will probably be a good addition to an undead deck or decks relying on high HP buffs like Annette and Alraune.
Overall, a card that makes great first impressions. Can't wait to try it out!!!
