Strategy[]

Vortex is a relatively small board with a surplus of  Encounter panels and of lot of ways to catch up to opponents, which makes it an incredible map for bullies. Since the only option for healing outside of cards and passives are  Home panels, it is very easy for players to be KO'd from prolonged combat.

  • Wins: Offensive characters will enjoy the abundance of  Encounter panels and typically do not have any particular path they intend to follow. Chasing weaker players can prove fruitful due to the tiny size of the board and the possibility of chip damage through frequent combat and the default Field Events, especially when taking advantage of the  Move panels found in the outer ring. However, it is important to restock and level up at  Home frequently, or else the routine combat will take its toll on even the strongest bullies.
  • Stars: Star collectors must beware of the  Encounter and  Drop panels surrounding their homes. The outer ring carries less inherent danger as well as the potential to draw vital healing cards, but the player must be careful in order to avoid any bullies that may be chasing, which can make either path a risky proposition. The  Warp panels can provide a nimble escape should the player happen to land on one. A high DEF stat is invaluable for surviving the onslaught.

Character Synergy[]

Advantaged
  • Any character with a high ATK stat can typically shut down  Encounter panels instantly while harvesting fast Wins. Star Breaker in particular will have no trouble with her norma requirements, especially with the default BattlefieldBattlefield

    event.
  • Defensive powerhouses such as Fernet and well-rounded units such as Islay can ignore any trouble caused by combat, allowing them to make trips to  Home panels quite frequently.
Disadvantaged
  • Characters like Aru and Saki often suffer KO due to their poor combat stats.
  • Any character with low HP, such as Peat, may struggle to survive the excess chip damage. Similarly, Shifu Robot will find itself unable to recover its HP faster than it is damaged.
