Eli Ayase, Nico Yazawa, and Maki Nishikino form the specialized unit of BiBi. With a combination of their musical talents, this group is wild and willing to delve into the unmarked territories in the musical jungle.
The glorious red-headed Maki takes up the stage as the finishing combo for the deck. As long as you meet her condition of having a full field of her sub unit’s members, Maki will blow a kiss of death at your opponent for a cheap discard cost once she beats over them with her raw power.
For the early game, Maki takes over again to generate us advantage as she refills our hand with her Maguro-esque combo. If you fulfill her experience requirement, she also gains permanent power while on field.
Now for the trickster and the secret lynch pin of the deck, Nico Yazawa rises up to the challenge. Nico has a rare ability where, when she’s played from hand, you must mill the top two cards of your deck and then deal damage to your opponent equal to the number of level zero characters milled by this effect.

With this newfound strategy built around our level zero characters in the deck, we can build around our Nico as a secondary line of play. 1/0 Nico, although not directly related to our cat-eared Nico, has some extra hatred for our opponent’s level zero cards. In that sense, when damage she deals is cancelled, you can pop one of your opponent’s level zero characters in any zone. Maki works very well with our strategy as she is a level zero coin flip profile.
In addition to working around Nico’s gameplan, Maki also has her own magic tricks up her sleeve. Maki’s card above is another key card to our deck’s game-plan and works simultaneously to help generate additional resource and benefit Nico’s plan. One side gimmick that BiBi possesses is their use of the keyword ACCELERATE [加速], and when that ability is performed, Maki’s level assist above can rest herself to stock one of your characters from waiting room, ideally any level one or higher character. Given that this is a repeatable ability, as long as you can keep Maki on stage and prolong your turns, you’ll generate quite an amass of resource for your late game.

In order to activate our ACCELERATE game plan and get Maki rolling, the rest of the BiBi crew is here to help. 1/0 Nico on the left lets you perform a Maguro ability by accelerating herself and granting herself power with a reverse condition. Nico gets burst power for each of her fellow BiBi teammates. Eli is a clean-cut profile with a rare ACCELERATE ability to grant her even more power for the turn. Lastly, 2/1 Nico is a level three killer that can ACCELERATE to grant her even more power and the ability to search through your deck for two of her unit mates and discard two cards in hand. This last ability is big because this can set you up in the late game and give you knowledge of what is inside your deck for the finishing turn.
Some other supports for the ACCELERATE gimmick can be found with Maki’s climax swapper on the left and Nico’s search brainstorm on the right. Maki’s rose wrapped blade grants power to one of your characters with the ACCELERATE keyword on-play. Nico lets you perform a re-draw once per turn when you use an ACCELERATE ability.

Now as we reach the end of our fun, the cutie panthers are here to leave their final touches. Nico smirking and Eli’s casual smile both perform essentially the same ability as anti-change counters. Nico will exchange the higher level character with a level zero character from their waiting room. Eli is a sack counter that sends the opposing higher level character to the waiting room instead. The BiBi counter on the right is a refund counter that stocks back the top card of your deck.
Nico-Nico-Knee-Caps! Dazzling Nico arrives on the scene, declaring her dominance as a double filter on play. The elegant Maki in a dress can be used as either a two soul powered beater in the late game or a sneaky level zero backup in hand. 3/2 Nico in her stylish hat and carrying a flower basket is a secondary finisher with a clock kick ability to close out the game (her clock kick ability works cross-turn). Eli in her blue blouse is a Chiyuri profile that reveals the top card of your deck on play and pumps herself power if that card is a character. Nico in the white tuxedo is ready to scour your deck for any character of your choice. Eli singing her heart out is essentially a costless 4000 powered beater with little to no demerit in the early turns.
“Cutie Panther!” Nico’s coming for your soul. Aided by Eli and Maki, this unit is essentially unstoppable. You better run while you can because once they’ve got their hands on you, you’ll be sure to be frozen solid by these diamond princesses.
