Lrig Analysis Part 2
Booster
Welcome back, Selectors! Today, we're here to complete our analysis of the Assist Lrigs from the Blue Archive collaboration. Last time, we reviewed the White and Blue Lrigs, and today, it's the turn of the Green and Black Lrigs. Let's get started!
Green Lrigs
All level 2 Green Lrigs share the Bond ability: upon playing this Assist, you can [Enercharge 1] and add a Blue Archive Signi from Ener to your hand. Let’s dive into the Lrig lineup for the Forclosure Task Force.
Level 1
-
Izayoi Nonomi
- 0-cost Grow, playable only in the main phase. Upon entry, she can Vanish an opponent's Signi with 7000 Power or less, which allows you to remove many level 2 Signi without spending Ener.
-
Okusora Ayane
- Another 0-cost Grow playable only in the main phase. On entry, she grants 2 Ener from the top of the deck. Perfect for Green Lrig’s core Ener generation abilities.
Level 2
-
Izayoi Nonomi [Punishment Time]
- 0-cost Grow, playable only in the main phase. Upon entry, you can pay 1 Ener to Vanish all opposing Signi with cost 3, potentially opening 1 or 2 lines in the opponent's defenses at a relatively low cost. The only drawback is that it’s usable only in the main phase.
-
Izayoi Nonomi [Swimsuit]
- 2-cost Grow, only playable in the main phase. Destroys an opponent's Signi on entry, and by paying an additional 3 Ener (one of which must be green), you can select another opposing Signi to be destroyed at the end of the turn. This Lrig is usually more valuable for its primary ability, unless you have specific setups where Signi damage is not the primary goal.
-
Okusora Ayane [Supporter Express]
- 2-cost Grow, playable in both main and attack phases. When played, it lets you shuffle your deck, draw the top card, and add it to your Life Cloth. This effect can be beneficial, as the card added to the Cloth might contain a Life Burst.
-
Okusora Ayane [Swimsuit]
- 0-cost Grow, only playable in the main phase. This card allows you to summon Raincloud, a powerful level 2 Signi with 10000 Power and Lancer. When Raincloud destroys a Signi in battle, it can destroy another Signi with 10000 Power or less. With this Signi, you can deal 1 damage (thanks to Lancer), destroy another Signi, open an additional line, and then potentially deal a second damage. A powerful card with a lot of potential.
With Green Lrigs covered, let’s move on to the Black Lrigs.
Black Lrigs
In the Perfect Team lineup, the Black Lrig level 2 cards share the Bond ability, allowing you to add a Blue Archive Signi from the Trash to your hand, providing valuable recursion for various strategies.
Level 1
-
Hinomia Chinatsu
- 0-cost Grow, playable only in the main phase. On entry, it sends two cards from the top of your deck to the Trash and allows you to recover two non-Guard cards from the Trash, provided they share the same class. A helpful recursion option for tribal decks.
-
Shiromi Iori
- 0-cost Grow, usable only in the main phase. On entry, it reduces an opposing Signi's Power by 8000. A typical level 1 Black Assist that’s great for weakening defenses.
Level 2
-
Shiromi Iori [Major Roundup]
- 0-cost Grow, only usable in the main phase. Upon activation, you can pay 1 Ener to repeat the following action three times: reduce an opposing Signi’s Power by 5000 and send the top two cards of the opponent's deck to the Trash. This ability weakens the opponent’s field, mills their deck, potentially causing refresh damage, and creates open lines for future attacks.
-
Shiromi Iori [Swimsuit]
- 0-cost Grow, usable in both the main and attack phases. Reduces an opposing Signi's Power by 8000 and applies the following penalty: "At the end of the Attack Phase, this Signi gains -5000 Power." A defensive option to protect your Signi, or prevent attacks by weakening the opponent's Signi, leaving an open line for counterattacks. Its 0-cost Grow ability makes it a good option in metas where Ener burns are frequent.
-
Hinomia Chinatsu [Casualty Treatment]
- 1-cost Grow, playable in both main and attack phases. Allows you to take a non-Life Burst card from the Trash and add it to your Life Cloth. For an additional 4 Ener (one of which must be black), you can repeat this effect. Although costly, it’s a strong defensive option and can synergize with cards like Coela that count Life Cloth.
-
Hinomia Chinatsu [Hot Spring]
- 0-cost Grow, only playable in the main phase. When played, you can pay 1 Ener to grant this Lrig a once-per-turn automatic ability: "When a Signi you control Crushes an opponent's Life Cloth, re-up it and remove all abilities until the end of the turn." This effect potentially lets a Signi deal 2 damage or serve as payment for other effects, making it intriguing for synergistic strategies with abilities like White Tama.
