Love Live! Sunshine – CYaRon (R/Y) [02/13/2023]

CYaRon is a group consisting of three girls, C for Chika Takami, Y for You Watanabe, and R for Ruby Kurosawa. As a unit formed by members filled with cuteness, the girls are unstoppable in their universal goal to spread joy and happiness everywhere.

Chika leads the group towards the finish line. Chika requires a hefty amount of experience, exactly nine in fact, and if you do accomplish her hefty requirement, you may pay her costs to perform a choice between two effects: you may either deal one damage and shuffle three cards back into your opponent’s deck from their waiting room or you may deal three damage. Chika is a potent finisher, ready to seize any opportunity to its fullest.

No other combo so fits the deck as much as Chika’s mermaid form. Chika is a Yunyun profile, grabbing you both stock and potentially hand upon reversing her opponent with her climax. Did I mention that your climax mentions and features the entire unit as well? As an experience deck, there will be plenty of high level cards to begin with, and Chika is on a standby combo, allowing us to spawn some of her high level unit-mates onto the field early as well.

It is imperative that you do have the nine experience condition for Chika’s finisher. Before we proceed further, meet Detective You. You is a global assist with the ability to tap herself to swap cards in your level zone with cards in your waiting room. You will better increase your odds of guaranteeing Chika’s condition with Detective You around. Make sure to equip your deck with at least a copy or two.

Outside of hopefully clocking your level threes directly, the three above are additional ways to manually clock yourself outside of your clock phase. Chika allows you to clock a card from your hand to check the top x cards of your deck equal to the number of other characters. You allows you to clock yourself to potentially add the top card of your deck to your hand when she’s sent to waiting room if it is a character. Ruby is a Riki profile whose cost allows you to choose a character from your waiting room to clock to the bottom of your clock. You can selectively place a level three card to your clock to ensure that you get the experience you need.

Considering that the deck is partially using standby climaxes, it is highly recommended that we run cards like the above that can capitalize on being played early and cheated their costs. Chika on the left is a large beatstick that also carries hand encore. You hugging her pillow cannot be reversed by costless characters. Lastly, Ruby is a larger version of Chika at level two that also carries hand encore.

Ruby is more than ready to work alongside her unit-mates. In her cheering outfit, Ruby gains a large amount of power during your turn if you meet her experience requirements and can trigger twice when she attacks for a cheap stock cost. This can work incredibly well to pay out any triggers or to try and force triggers for further advantage down the road. Ruby in her summer wear gains power for all of your other You [曜], Chika [千歌], and Ruby [ルビィ] characters. She is additionally a Rize profile when sent to waiting room that can grab her other unit-mates.

Two other important cards to note are that of the Chika and Ruby shown here. Chika bounces back to hand while letting you surveil and give a character additional power for the turn, helping her level one combo with reversals and also opening a slot for the standby target and retaining hand. She also has a SHIFT ability, allowing you to shift high level cards into clock as needed. Ruby herself is a prime target to be placed into level zone. Her alarm ability is great because she provides a cheap way to refresh your deck in a pinch.

If you’d like to defend the cuties, there are plenty of options available. Ruby holding onto a book is a large counter that also mills your opponent’s bottom cards of their deck. You in her dazzling summer outfit is a 2000 counter that refunds stock from the top of your deck. Chika is an anti-change counter, ready to send your opponent’s early plays and cheated cards into the waiting room.

The CYaRon girls are more than ready to rumble. Starting with You, You is a freefresher on play for a high cost. With the extra stock generated from your Yunyun Chikas, you can more than use it to refresh your deck in a pinch. Chika cheering is a chasing runner that’s oversized but prevents your use of backups or events. You raising her mic to the stars gains power during your turn if you have another character and can pay a cost to trigger twice when she attacks. Chika with her binoculars gains power if your whole field are CYaRon characters and the ability to pay a cost to deal a single point of damage. She’s perfect as an off-finisher, and additionally, she can let you filter through your deck to add a specific card to hand. Chika in an apron is a Fumio profile used to force your opponent to refresh. Lastly, You in her sailor outfit is an early play healer.

There are plenty of options to play around with the CYaRon girls. Choose your options wisely and combine the unique strengths of the CYaRon girls to suit your needs. May Chika’s everlasting smile, You’s infinite energy, and Ruby’s divine cuteness guarantee your victory.
