Assault Lily – Shenlin/Yuija (G) [02/13/2021]

Shenlin Kuo and Yuija Tang are very close friends and roommates. As part of the same legion, the Hitotsuyanagi Legion, they are combat partners with the other members of the team, working to rid the world of the enemy Huge with the power of their Charms. Despite their distinct personalities with the ever-charming, yet boastful Shelin and the quiet, yet calculating Yuija, no other pair could come close to their trust and faith within each other.

This deck was suggested by Joseph Lo.

The main finisher of the deck is the Shenlin above. Shenlin is a powerful beater with the ability to meddle with your opponent’s board and deal large amounts of damage to your opponent upon reversing them. Shenlin is a solid finisher to boot with large amounts of power just by entering the field. By flickering your opponent’s backrow potentially, she makes it easier to guarantee her reversing condition even more easily as well.

The bread and butter of the deck comes with the other combo for the deck shown above. Both Shenlin and Yuija combo off of the same climax shown on the right. Yuija herself is an early play that has the ability to snipe one of your opponent’s characters and a conditional chance to decrease incoming damage on the following turn with the climax in play. Shenlin lets you perform a Minami-esque effect and add a character from the top four cards of your deck upon reversing with the same exact combo. Representing the pairs’ tight bonds, the climax emphasizes the gentle sweet memories that this duo makes with the more dominant Shenlin on top and the more submissive Yuija on the bottom.

As for how to spawn Yujia onto the board through early playing, the Shenlin above is a level assist that serves that specific purpose, also comboing with the same climax to sack itself and bring out the Yuija from hand.

Due to the use of eight bar triggers, the deck employs many options that help to filter or transform those bar climaxes into alternative forms of advantage. The main point of these cards shown above are their means of providing flexibility and maneuverability to bar climaxes regardless of which zone they are present in. Both level 0 Shenlin and level 1 Yujia provide options for you to choose between if a bar trigger occurs. The Shenlin exchanges from the clock zone and the Yujia from the waiting room. The level 0 Yujia provides you further advantage in general, turning any bar climax into a potential hand advantage combo.

Another nice pairing to consider are the two cards above. The duo on the left is a filter for the event to the right. Furthermore, it’s secondary ability can help to decrease the power of a potential reverse target on swing or to even pop any low powered support cards on your opponent’s front row stage.

The event itself is a repeatable means of recycling Lily (リリィ) cards to hand. Furthermore, it lowers the level of one of your opponent’s characters which may put them in danger of a level reverser or turn them into a potential sniping target for Yuija. Furthermore, the event can bounce itself back to your hand assuming you pay its cost which itself is another cheap way to filter bars from your hand. Given the right circumstances, for a single stock, this card can be seen as a continual means of gaining advantage and tweaking your opponent’s field perpetually.

In terms of backups, the power of the top and bottom pair usually disregards the need for any protection of any sort. On another note, Shenlin and Yuija don’t generally care about field, especially since the main finisher requires a reverse target. However, the two above backups are relatively good options to run, if any, for their supportive effects. Yuija is an anti-early play backup that also helps churn out climaxes in hand. Shenlin is an on reverse memory kick backup that helps get rid of any troublesome field targets.

Shenlin and Yuija pack a good amount of raw power. They have a decent way of dealing with bar triggers while netting constant advantage. Where each partner has a weakness, the other will cover. Do make sure to continue to put up the pressure on your opponent. Launch an assault with Shenlin and cover her with Yuija’s sniper in the back. When the deed is done and finished, let your girls gently caress each other over a small cup of wine as they prance around through the night.
