Suguri is often described as having two speeds: fast and dead. Her high dodge chance makes it difficult for opponents to land an attack on her. This combined with her above average attack lets her deal good damage in combat while avoiding it entirely in return. That same blessing can also be a curse however, as she is extremely susceptible to high attack rolls. One bad roll and Suguri will go down faster than you can say "Guess I'll die." Her hyper Accelerator lets you to roll two dice for all movement, combat, bonus and drop panels, turning you into a speedy combat powerhouse.



Play Suguri if:

• You enjoy a risky, but rewarding playstyle.
  
• You like to live fast and aren't afraid to die hard.
  
• You want to fight your opponents as much as possible.

Pros:

• High evade makes it very difficult for opponents to land attacks.
  
• DEF debuffs can be ignored most of the time due to high EVD.
  
• Good attack and high dodge chance make encounter panels a breeze.
  
• Hyper improves movement, attacking, blocking, and dodging, allowing for explosive turns.

Cons:

• Extremely weak against high rolls.
  
• Failing a dodge usually means death.
  
• Poor at reducing damage with block.
  
• Has difficulty fighting the boss.
  
• Accelerator can whiff if you roll poorly.

HP: 4 | ATK: +1 | DEF: -1 | EVD: +2 | REC: 5

Suguri's evasiveness paired with her above average attack make her an excellent fighter. Suguri is tied with Tsih and the Arus for the highest unboosted EVD stat in the game, allowing her to dodge hits that would be impossible for many other characters. She can completely avoid damage from any attack roll of 2 or less no matter what she rolls. This goes up to a 4 with Rainbow-Colored Circle, making it incredibly hard for some characters to even damage to her. Unfortunately, any roll higher than a 4 will KO her if she fails to dodge it. The result is that Suguri usually finishes fights unscathed or KOed, as she can't rely on her defense most of the time due to her low health. Blocking is reserved for medium amounts of damage (~ 4-6) in situations where you need as close to a 100% chance of survival as you can get.

Accelerator

Type: Boost
Level Requirement: 3
Cost: 30 stars

Effect Duration: 1 chapter
Roll two dice for movement, battles, bonus, and drop.

Accelerator lets you become amazing at everything from movement to combat to star collection until your next turn. Rolling two dice bumps your minimum roll up to a 2 and the maximum up to a whopping 12. This effect stacks with any other dice doubling abilities, such as Accel Hyper or the Sprint event, causing you to roll four dice. Playing this card will let you move much faster, hit harder, and dodge more consistently in combat. Any stat modifiers are only applied once, so an attack roll of a 3 and a 4 will come out to an 8 with Suguri's +1 ATK modifier. You will also roll two dice when you land on a bonus or drop panel. The buff lasts until your next turn, so any opponent that attacks you until then will regret it.

On the downside, Accelerator costs 30 stars, meaning that you will need to get a KO or set one up in order to make up for the cost. Keep in mind that, while unlikely, you can still roll poorly. Even if you are rolling two dice, rolling two 1s still counts as a 2. Whiffing a movement roll will waste your stars and doing so on a combat roll can waste your time or get you KOed.

Lastly, be careful about fighting a player on a drop panel. Accelerator will cause you to roll two dice which get multiplied by your level (up to 3), potentially causing you to lose a lot of stars. Be especially mindful of 2x spaces, as these will make you roll four dice. Make sure the fight is worth it before you play Accelerator.

Aim for bonus panels or battle spaces depending on your priorities. If you think you will be able to fight your opponents safely, you might as well grab some early wins. If your opponents are too bulky or can easily punish you with a powerful attack if you fail to KO them, go for stars instead. Draw cards whenever you can, as they will come in handy later and you don't gain that many stars from bonus spaces yet anyways.


The only notable change here is that you and the other players now have access to most of the battle cards. Be careful when challenging players or landing in front of them, as they could be packing I'm On Fire or a defensive card. On the bright side, you have access to these too, so make sure to take advantage of opponents with empty hands.


You now have access to Accelerator. Use it to pick off players who are getting too many stars or otherwise need a time out. Try not to spam it due to the high star cost.


Oh hell no. Bosses have a habit of rolling very high attack rolls. Store Manager in particular can ruin your day with his +3 ATK. Rainbow-Colored Circle can help and can sometimes save you from almost certain death, but there isn't much you can do about a 9 attack roll. Avoid boss panels like the plague unless it's health is very low. You have a much higher chance of surviving with Accelerator, so don't be too afraid to take out players standing on boss spaces with your hyper if the reward is worth it.

I use letter ranks to rate cards. Cards are sorted by type, then alphabetically within each tier. This is by no means an absolute measure of how powerful each card is. Feel free to use any cards you want to fit your strategy, although I advise against bringing F cards. When it comes down to it, play what you think will be the most fun for you.

S: Necessary. Godlike synergy or required for the character to function. (Note: Not every character has one of these.)

A: Powerful. A high priority card that will usually be in your deck.

B: Very Good. Not necessary, but should always be considered.

C: Average. Nice cards to have, but might be outclassed. Also includes situational cards.

D: Poor. Helps your opponents more than it helps you.

F: Awful. You are actively hurting yourself by bringing these cards.

1x Dark Side of Business
1x I'm on Fire!
2x Rainbow-Colored Circle
1x Dash
1x Extend
1x Nice Present
1x Passionate Research
1x Party Time
1x Go Away

A good mix of offense, defense, and utility for the player that wants a bit of everything. Rainbow-Colored Circle keeps you safe while I'm On Fire lets you bring the pain and Nice Present and Passionate Research help you find your hyper. Dash, Extend, Party Time, and Go Away serve to add some utility to the deck by letting you control the battlefield. Finally, Dark Side of Business helps you deal with tanks and reduced rewards characters, which Suguri can have some problems with.




1x Big Magnum
1x Dark Side of Business
2x I'm on Fire!
2x Rainbow-Colored Circle
1x Nice Present
1x Passionate Research
2x Party Time

An offensive build that takes advantage of Suguri's good attack to fight your opponents. This build sacrifices safety for offensive strength, so don't let people get behind you or else they might try to KO you with one of these battle cards.




3x Rainbow-Colored Circle
1x Dash
1x Extend
1x Nice Jungle
1x Nice Present
1x Piggy Bank
2x Here and There


This deck aims to keep you out of trouble while boosting your star collection. Rainbow-Colored Circle will keep you alive in most battles and Extend will make sure that the one that goes poorly doesn't set you back too much. Nice Jingle and Piggy Bank will help you get stars. Here and There and Dash will help you escape from danger. Lastly, Nice Present helps you find all these cards.

With their +2 ATK, these characters will easily be able to keep up with your high evade rolls. You are at a severe disadvantage without Rainbow-Colored Circle and risk being KOed before you have a chance to counter attack if they get the drop on you. Stay away from them and use your hyper and battle cards to attack them when you have an advantage.




You will have a hard time taking these characters down due to their high defenses. Even Accelerator will have a hard time dealing damage to them if they manage to roll well. Despite this, you have a very high chance of dodging their attacks due to your high EVD and their low ATK. Keep chipping away at them, but watch out for heals and 6s. Cards like Pudding will quickly undo all the work you've been doing and give them more opportunities to get a high roll against you.




Alte isn't very threatening until level 3; when she gains access to her hyper Self-Destruct. Once she does, you will have to be very careful about picking fights with her. If she plays Self-Destruct in a battle where you KO her, you will be the one who loses stars, you won't gain any wins, and she will gain a permanent +1 bonus to ATK. She will easily be able to hit you after gaining a few stacks, maxing out at a terrifying +3. Only use Accelerator on her if you know that she doesn't have her hyper and avoid her entirely if she gets two or more stacks.




Hime's +1 ATK can cause problems for you if she rolls well. Even more frightening is her hyper Binding Chains. This card will cause all of her opponents to skip their next turn and suffer a -2 EVD penalty. Without a battle card to save yourself, this will force you to rely on your less than stellar defense or a disadvantaged dodge roll to save you. You will be an easy KO if she follows up with a battle card of her own. Try to stay behind her so she can't use her hyper to attack you.




Islay has extremely solid base stats in exchange for her ability to attack opponents when passing, which make her difficult to KO. Her hyper Rival allows her to fight you anywhere, any time and boosts her already good ATK to +2. If she follows it up with a battle card like Big Magnum and you don't have Rainbow-Colored Circle you are likely going to die. Always hang on to a defensive card in this matchup in order to mitigate the chances of this happening. She is the only character in the game who is 100% safe to land in front of and can't use combat to stop on important panels, so keep this in mind when passing her on the board.




Miusaki is a tough nut to crack. You cannot KO her in battle as long as she has 3 or more health, and her counterattacks hurt like hell. Don't waste Accelerator on her unless you have a way to follow up next turn for the KO or she is bellow 3 health. Her hyper Solid Witch makes her immune to damage, so don't attack her if she is glowing green. She will use it to get free attacks on you and avoid imminent Accelerators.




Nath starts the game very weak, but can boost her stats via a stacking mechanic. Whenever a player plays a battle card in a fight she's in, she will gain 1 stack of Active Extension (one per fight). At the maximum three stacks she becomes a menace; blocking your attacks with ease and threatening to KOing with her +2 ATK. Once she hits level 3, you will also need to watch out for her hyper Another Ultimate Weapon. In exchange for all of her stars, Nath gains a potentially MASSIVE boost to her ATK and DEF. With enough stars, the stat boost from her hyper will make it easy for her to survive Accelerator and will make it tricky for you to survive the counter attack. Even a 0 stack Nath can become a deadly force with this card. Bully her before she gets stacks and try to keep her from reaching level 3 as much as possible.




QP can be surprisingly hard to take down due to her average stats and her hyper Hyper Mode. This battle card gives her a +2 ATK boost and negates the rewards and penalties of you KOing her. The attack boost will make it a lot easier for her to hit you if she survives and she has access to it from the start of the game due to its low level cost. She can even counter Accelerator with it, as it prevents any of the benefits of KOing her. Fight her when her hand is empty and watch out for 6s.

(I don't have an image of Suguri's co-op card yet, so bear with me. In co-op, Suguri has 6 REC. Accelerator is the same.)

Suguri's evasive specialization can be a liability against certain bosses. Many of the bosses have high ATK by default and most of them have ways to boost their damage rolls. M10 Robot, Big the Jonathan, and the Summer Beast all have ways to boost their attack to lethal levels for Suguri, making it difficult for her to fight as the game goes on. Big the Haruo is a bit less dangerous for her if your team can keep the little chickens under control. Star Devourer is the one boss that she has a solid advantage over, as her high EVD lets her avoid the boss's bonus damage.

Attacker and support are her best roles. Defender and dealer are viable but avenger is just plain bad.
