We got new battle sister reveals so I get to stop talking about mermaids and start talking about heavily armed nuns.

Battle Sister, Florentine

Skill: [AUTO]:When this unit is placed on (VC), look at the top card of your deck, and put it on the top or bottom of your deck.

[AUTO](VC):[Counter Blast (1)-card with “Battle Sister” in its card name] When your G unit Stride, you may pay the cost. If you do, look at two cards from the top of your deck, put a card into your hand, put a card on the top or bottom of your deck, choose one of your vanguards, and until end of turn, it gets “[CONT](VC):All of your rear-guards with “Battle Sister” in their card names get [Power]+3000 until end of turn.”.

This card is sweet. It does basically everything I would want an OTT card to do. It lets you stack the deck which is basically OTT’s gimmick at this point, it give a passive 3k to everything which is good since it pushes column up a guard stage, and it draws without hitting. I’ve always felt that battle sisters were hampered by the fact that many of their draws skill were on-hits. A selective draw goes a long way for finding cards you want, and keeping triggers in your deck. I think Oshiho can attest to that. The best part about this stride skill is that its not restricted to Battle Sister strides. So you can keep up the passive 6k to all your columns on Ichikishima which is a huge benefit. Since Battle Sisters have a very strong CC engine in Muffin I think Florentine is absolutely your ride target come set 12.

Battle Sister, Baumkuchen

Skill: [AUTO]:[Choose a grade 3 card with “Battle Sister” in its card name from your hand, and reveal it] When this unit is placed on (RC) from hand, you may pay the cost. If you do, search your deck for up to one grade 3 card with “Battle Sister in its card name, reveal it, put it into your hand, choose a card from your hand, discard it, and shuffle your deck.

[CONT](Hand):While you are paying the cost for Stride, this card gets grade+2.

This card is certainly a stride fodder. Battle Sisters are xenophobic so having a named fodder adds a level of consistency to the deck. Plus you wanna be riding Florentine so she helps with searching the correct ride, as all stride fodders do. Its a solid addition to the deck, not much else to say.

These new cards a pretty big boosts to the deck. Florentine really is kind of a dream card as far as doing everything an OTT card should do. As for whether or not they will come out better than Susanoo, I think it largely depends on rear guard support. If Battle Sisters can get more consistent draw power that doesn’t require hitting then yes absolutely I think they will be better. If they don’t I personally would give the edge to Susanoo because of more consistent draw power, and Nanase closing their power gap.

This one is a quickie since it’s just first impressions. Thanks for reading.
