Magical Girls



Quick gameplay tips

  • The Magical Girls have lots of talents, but they're all dependent on the number of minions they have on a base. Power Maid is particularly useful for fetching your minions from other bases, or sending inconvenient enemy minions away. And she only gets stronger the more you play...
  • For what it lacks in power, Walking Castle more than makes up for it with its utility. Making your minions invulnerable is always appreciated, and being able to move up to 3 of your minions at once is incredibly useful. Save a bunch of minions from a scoring base! Assassinate enemy Titans! Position yourself on the most inconvenient base possible!
  • Don't be afraid to discard minions, the Magical Girls excel at bringing your minions back from the discard pile. Lunar Captain is your go-to for this purpose, and when she's in play you can focus on keeping her alive with the Magical Girls' other tools to maximise her utility.
  • Remember that 'Lunar Healing Love Spell' lets YOU choose what minion each player receives - give them the most useless minion you can. This is particularly strong against other factions that love to interact with their discard pile, Ghosts and Zombies particularly.

Gameplay

♬ Fighting evil by moonlight, scoring bases by daylight ♬

Magical Girls use the power of their friendships to weather any storm their opponents can throw at them, and might just bite back if they work together. They excel at securing their place on bases and recovering from setbacks, they can really snowball a couple of minions into a fearsome presence. Walking Castle and Fancy Suit Lad (3 power, your other minions aren't affected by opponent's cards) ensure that their minions are safe to build up on bases, and allow them to use their talents to do just about anything. As a team, of course. If opponents manage to get past these defensive options, then the Magical Girls can simply do a few twirls, release some sparkles and bring their minions back from the discard pile. The focus on having lots of minions can mean that the Magical Girls sometimes struggle to find a foothold in particularly fast-paced or aggressive games, but they have ways to combat this. Walking Castle is a great tool for establishing a safe haven, and moving minions away from an imminent base destruction to keep them alive longer. Various talents also allow them to control the pace of the game to their liking, Sakura Warrior allows them to reduce an enemy minion's power by the number of their minions on a base, and Technomagical Lass allows them to destroy a minion with power less than or equal to the number of their minions on a base. These two are understandably a very powerful combination, as just 3 minions on a base allow them to destroy even 6-power minions easily!
