Eiyuu Senki Gold Cards of the Day 27/5/2014

Roughly 4 more days to go! Today's Cards of the Day feature 3 of Arthur's Knights!
-----

An animated-art version and only a 'U'-rarity? Blasphemy!

Trait and Name (Japanese): ”円卓騎士”夜の帳「ガーウェイン」
Trait and Name (English): "Knights of the Round Table" Veil of the Night [Gawain]
Element: Light
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 2 / 2 ( +3 / +3 )
Card Number: ES-159U
Flavor Text (Japanese): 夜の時間を楽しみましょう
Flavor Text (English): Let's enjoy the night time

[Entry Cost]
All of your Characters must be from <OS: Eiyuu Senki>

[Automatic Effect][Partner Effect][Once per Turn]
While this Character is set with a Set card which has a [Setting Cost], and is selected as either an Attacking Character or Guarding Character, draw 1 card. After that, this Character gains +2 Attack and +2 Defence until the end of the Turn.

[Automatic Effect]
When this Character dealt Battle Damage to your Opponent's Character, you may move that Character to <Rest> position. This effect still activates when this Character is in Faced-down position.
-----

A Partner card with strange stats and growth!

If you decide to use her as your Partner, her stats will scale better later into the game. She'd have a maximum stat of 14 / 14 as compared to the normal 12 / 12 from a 4 / 4 ( +2 / +2 ) Partner.

However, she will suffer earlier in the game as she'd start off as a 5 / 5 Partner. If you do not have a Set card (With Setting Cost) set onto her to provide her the +2 / +2 boost as soon as possible, she is very vulnerable to other Partners with Stat-boosting capabilities.

Her second effect would make your Opponents think twice before selecting a Guarding Character, as you're able to move that Guarding Character to <Rest> position, preventing your Opponent from guarding again with that same Character (Unless that Character can guard in <Rest> position).

If you have another Partner in mind, you can still use her as a Friend. She has an easy-to-satisfy Entry Cost (Unless you play a Deck which mixes difference Series together). She can easily take down 1 possible Guarding Character before your bigger guns attack.

-----
Let's move on to the next Card! Galahad
-----
How can someone be so cool, and yet so hot?

Trait and Name (Japanese): ”円卓騎士”キスの特訓「ガラハド」
Trait and Name (English): "Knights of the Round Table" Special Training in Kissing [Galahad]
Element: Water
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 5 / 2 ( - / +1 )
Card Number: ES-158U
Flavor Text (Japanese): 馬鹿ではない。私は常に本気だ
Flavor Text (English): I'm not stupid. I'm always serious

[Entry Cost]
Send 1 <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Character from your Hand to your Waiting Room

[Trespass Cost]
Send 1 card from your Hand to your Waiting Room, and return 1 "Knights of the Round Table" Friend to your Hand

[Automatic Effect]
When this Character is selected as an Attacking Character, this Character gains +3 Attack until the end of the Turn.

[Penetrate]
-----

A very good card for an 'Uncommon' rarity! Galahad's Trespass Cost makes her a great card to combo with other "Knights of the Round Table" Characters, and helps you avoid discarding Character cards as an Entry Cost, if you're lacking any in your Hand.

For example, if we're in need of some healing (Say, an Opponent really tore through your Area), we can use Ywain from Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box:
Kickass!

Ywain has no Entry Cost, and provides a passive -3 to all Non-battle Damage received by any of your Characters.

She also has a Main Phase Effect which requires her to move herself from <Stand> position to <Reverse> position to heal 1 of your Characters.

If you use Ywain normally, it'd take her 2 turns to return back to <Stand> position (Unless you used card which causes her to moved to <Stand> position).

If the passive -3 Non-battle Damage effect is not needed just yet, you can choose to return her back to your Hand and replace her with Galahad!

That way, you can return Ywain back to your Area in your next Turn and heal again!

Galahad also has Penetrate too, and this is indeed a good addition to any Deck which plays on the trait: "Knights of the Round Table".

Last note: The Trespass Cost targets "Knights of the Round Table" Friends, so you may also target your "Knights of the Round Table" Friends who are in Faced-down position!

-----
Lastly, we have Balin!
-----
*Glare*

Trait and Name (Japanese): ”円卓騎士”面倒見の良い戦闘隊長「ベイリン」
Trait and Name (English): "Knights of the Round Table" Caring Battle Captain [Balin]
Element: Fire
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 9 / 2 ( +1 / - )
Card Number: ES-163C
Flavor Text (Japanese): 頼むから、アタシを楽しませてくれよ?
Flavor Text (English): For heaven's sake, can't I have some fun?

[Entry Cost]
Flip 1 of your Characters from Faced-up <Stand> position to Faced-down <Reverse> position

[Trespass Cost]
Send 1 of your Faced-up Friends to your Waiting Room, and flip your [Arthur] or "Knights of the Round Table" Partner from Faced-down position to Faced-up position

[Continuous Effect]
While this Character is set with a Set card, this Character can be selected as a Guarding Character even when in <Rest> position.

[Penetrate]
-----

Balin's Entry Cost is the same as her older counterpart from Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box:
*Grin*

Her older counterpart however, lacks a Trespass Cost, and instead, she comes with 2 Continuous Effects:
This Character can be set with 1 additional Set card (A maximum of 2 Set cards). This effect still works when this Character is in Faced-down position.

This Character passively reduces all Non-battle Damage received by any of your Characters by 4 if you have 2 or more other "Knights of the Round Table" Characters on your Area.

Sadly, this Character doesn't come with any passive skills, making her Set-reliant if you want her to gain skills. This makes her a target for Set-destroying effects.

Her -4 to Non-battle Damages is a bane to Decks which rely on Non-battle Damage to destroy your field.

Now, back to today's Balin: She is beneficial if you play a Deck which revolves around an [Arthur] Partner or a "Knights of the Round Table" Partner, so you can make use of her Trespass Cost to heal them.

Note that you need to send 1 Faced-up position Friend to your Waiting Room, which means even <Rest> or <Reverse> position Friends are acceptable (So long as they are Faced-up).

Having 9 Attack and Penetrate makes her a good Friend to use for Attacking, and having a Set card set onto her makes her a possible Guarding Character after her attack.

This would mean you need to try to keep her alive, and one of the best Sets available so far, would be the previously-mentioned Billy Special from Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box:
Pew pew pew pew

 Giving her Swift Strike so ensure a higher survival rate!

That's all for today! Remember, 4 more days!
