Amon Support: Initial Thoughts

Everybody is talking about FC 2017 now that all the cards have been revealed. It’s going to be interesting to see how it impacts the clans, especially Narukami. But now, we have gotten a treat from leaks, in the form of good Amon support. I’m a DI main people, contrary to my site name, I know. It’s alright though, for DI support is coming out at the end of the year, and I’m a bit more hype because

The DI support in FC 2017 wasn’t that special. The Amon support shows Bushi is in our favor.

Let’s get into it, starting with the stride bonus.

Keep Your Eye Open (Amon’s Eye, Agares)

Skills are as follows:

[AUTO](VC):When this unit is placed on (VC) or at the beginning of your ride phase, choose up to two of your units with “ Amon ” in its card name, and they get [Power]+1000 for each card in your soul until end of turn.

Stride during your turn, you may pay the cost. If you do, Soul Charge the same number of cards as the number of cards in your soul. [AUTO](VC):[Counter Blast (1)] When your G unit with “ Amon ” in its original card nameduring your turn, you may pay the cost. If you do, Soul Charge the same number of cards as the number of cards in your soul.

The first skill is just dumb. It just is. Two units +1000 for each card in soul, every single turn, is stupid. I mean busted stupid, I don’t mean it’s bad. With Amon, this is even more dangerous because they keep a lot more cards in soul than the other parts of DI. This is reflected in the G-unit by the way, which I will talk about. But it gives +10K or more to your two columns, or one if your feel like it (idk). Also, that can give some good power before your opponent has a grade 3, because it’s not GB restricted. Second skill is also dumb, as in busted dumb. Just, really. Building up cards in soul that easily feels like cheating. You got ten cards? Well now you got twenty! This also has perfect synergy with how the card works with Red Eye, the G unit, which I will now speak of.

Oh, When You Close Your Eyes… (Amon’s Red Eye, Forneus)

Skills are:

Stride ]-Stride Step-[Choose one or more cards with the sum of their grades being 3 or greater from your hand, and discard them] Stride this card on your (VC) from face down. ]-Stride Step-[Choose one or more cards with the sum of their grades being 3 or greater from your hand, and discard them]this card on your (VC) from face down.

[ACT](VC) [1/Turn] :[Counter Blast (1) & Choose one of your rear-guards, and put it into your soul] Your opponent chooses one of his or her rear-guards, retires it, and this unit gets [Power]+5000 for every five cards in your soul until end of turn. If the number of cards in your soul is twenty or more, choose two of your opponent’s rear-guards, retire them, and then, if you have a heart card with “ Amon ” in its card name, this unit gets [Critical]+1 until end of turn.

The point of this card is simple. Get 20 cards in soul to get rid of your opponent’s rear-guards (3), +20000 and +1 crit to vanguard. Considering it’s not GB restricting, this is pretty good for first stride, though I think it’s a bit unnecessary to put a rear-guard in the soul. But it could mean the difference between 1 part of the skill and the next, so it’s fine. It’s a pretty good card. Now, how does this go with Marchocias, because we haven’t forgot about him.

Keep Your Eye on Them

The skill of Marchocias is now a bit more viable with Agares now. Giving a really big boost to your rear-guards is a good thing, and you can even divide the power between all the rear-guard for a huge field power boost. You can even give some power to the unit that boosts the vanguard if you want. Forneus is very vanguard centered, but puts out tons of power for doing so. It depends on what the opponent has to guard. If you think the don’t have a lot of guard power, go for Forneus. If they have a PG or lots of guard power, go for Marchocias. Good for either situation. If they do PG your attack with Forneus, then you can still fall back with your buffed up rear-guards from Agares, remember.

Also, about Rutland Vitrei, you could build the soul onto 26 cards late game and abuse his skill, but that’s just hypothetical. Probably won’t happen.

I’m looking forward to see more support for Dark Irregulars. Bushiroad, please give Amons an unflipper. That is what we need.

Thanks one and all for reading! Hope you found it entertaining or informative, depending how you look on it I guess. It’s going to be a Dark Irregulars fest around here so you can be sure I’m going to cover the new support. That’s all. LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE!
