Danmachi – Sword Princess’ 8 Switches (Y) [10/31/2022]

The Loki familia is by far one of the most distinguished groups in all of Orario. This familia’s infamy is due to the skills and strengths of its members. One such member of particular interest is Ais Wallenslot. She is given many monikers and her generic title of sword princess shows that her skills with a sword should not be underestimated.

The finisher of choice is Ais Wallenstunt’s level three Moca, as she aims to bring the match to a decisive end. When she attacks, her cost can be paid, and upon doing so, you look up three cards from the top of your opponent’s deck and re-arrange them or send them to the waiting room. Like with many Moca effects, be sure to utilize Ais’ effect to help your damage stick.

Ais Wallensnot’s level one combo requires several conditions to perform her combo. First of all, a yellow card must be discarded upon this card’s attack, and secondly, you must have five or fewer cards in stock to perform the combo. If these conditions are met, you may look up to five cards from the top of your deck and add two characters from among them. Outside of her climax combo, if you have four or more characters on stage when she attacks, she provides a 2500 power boost to one of your other characters.

The level 0 Ais Wallensalt above has the ability to receive a choice trigger when either her level one climax or level three climax is in play. This can prove to be quite useful as revealing her during your trigger step allows you to perform the choice effect without having to send a climax to stock. She can also serve to eliminate powerful level 0s by being a stock bomb.

To ensure her beloved Ais Wallenstein is in the fight, Loki on the left allows you to ditch a character from your hand to search for Ais’ level one combo. Furthermore, to ensure Ais is prepared to deal her decisive strike, she and Hestia’s card on the right helps in spawning Ais’ level three finisher from the waiting room for when you are level three while also being a way to force add a card through the top x cards of your deck (x being the other Familia (フャミリア), Guild (ギルド), or Goddess of Fertility (豊穣の女主人) characters on your stage).

Ais Wallenstonk has a powerful early play that ensures field presence that can take down powerful opponents. When she is played, she gains two cross-turn effects: a 4500 power boost along with an ability that prevents all players from playing a backup during her battle. She also has an ability that’s related to experience where, if a copy of herself is in your level, she gains an additional static 1500 power boost and immunity from your opponent’s effects. As an extra precaution, be sure to utilize Tiona’s level-swapping ability to ensure Ais is always fighting at her full potential.

Though Ais Wallenshot might be one of the more infamous members of the Loki familia, its numerous members are just as or more skilled than Ais herself. Bete has a dual purpose as he has the ability to push for more damage, but more importantly, he can bounce an ally back to hand after his attack for a cheap discard cost. Rivera and Tione both have some niche effects that serve to help Ais’ level 1 combo. Rivera provides another option to ensure the stock condition is met by allowing you to pay out immense stock to heal you. Tione can assist with fulfilling the stage condition, as she allows you to ditch a card to spawn a level zero character from waiting room.

Though she may not be one to show off, Ais Wallenschwarz finds herself in the spotlight. Despite her overwhelming stature, she remains very humble and soft-spoken. Be sure to provide her with adept support to see what a first-class adventurer is capable of.
