100% Orange Juice - Krila & Kae Character Pack DLC

Well, here are more characters to play as!

This is the fourth DLC pack released for the game and it's back to looking at characters again. Let's see what they have to offer. [u] Krilalaris [/u] Krila has a statline consisting of 6 HP 0 ATK 0 DEF -1 EVD and 5 Rec, making her pretty average overall besides their above average HP stat. The main thing of interest with her is her hyper card, Plushie Master. When activated, this hyper will place 3-5 traps randomly on the board depending on how many panels it has. These "Dance Long-Eared Beasts" traps will damage whoever lands on it (except the person who used the hyper) for 2 damage, give them a -2 ATK debuff until the end of their next battle, and cause the trap setter to gain 1 HP. An interesting thing about the gained HP is that it can actually allow you to go over your max HP. If enough people land on her traps, it's entirely possible for Krila to reach double digit amounts of HP. This extra HP is not considered max HP so once you lose it, it's gone for good until you gain more through your hyper. The main weakness of Krila in my opinion is actually her hyper. It is completely random where your traps will end up on the board and if you're unlucky they can end up in spots that are easily avoided. Her hyper also isn't very threatening on it's own. Sure, the traps do a variety of things when people land on them, but they also don't help earn you any stars or wins unless you're able to capitalize on it. It's also possible for people to land on your traps intentionally when they're low on HP since it gives them a chance to revive with full health without much of a drawback (they still suffer from -2 ATK and giving you HP) Overall, despite her hyper not having the sheer power of something like Saki's Big Bang Bell, Krila manages to have a niche as a more chaotic trap setter that can be surprisingly difficult to take down sometimes. With her high starting HP and ability to gain more HP and reduce other units ATK, she can afford to get into battles more often, albeit you should still try to play smart and avoid taking unnecessary risks. I think Krila is a pretty decent character to use and I can recommend her if you find their play style fun. [u] Kae [/u] If you just took a look at her stats out of context, Kae looks like one of the weakest characters in the game. With 4 HP 0 ATK -1 DEF +1 EVD and 4 REC, she is one of the squishiest characters in the game. Even characters with 0 ATK will have no problems taking her out with a good roll. Thankfully, Kae has a pretty strong passive to make up for this. Whenever she is in battle, her negative DEF will increase their ATK by the same amount. She also gets another -1 DEF whenever she's the attacker, meaning that without any other boosts, she will have +1 or +2 ATK. This is already pretty nice, but it gets interesting when you use certain cards. For example, if you use "I'm On Fire" you will actually be getting +2 ATK since the normally detrimental -1 DEF is boosting your ATK also. By far the best way to increase your ATK is with Kae's hyper, Blazing. Every unit within a 2 panel radius including yourself will receive +1 ATK and -1 DEF for 3 chapters. Unlike a lot of cards, this hyper can actually stack it's effect and also restore the duration back to 3 chapters if you use more copies of Blazing before it runs out. This easily turns Kae into one of the deadliest characters in the game if she gets the drop on you. They are even able to hit the stat cap of +9 for ATK if they draw particularly well. It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. Kae already starts out being easy to KO and it only gets easier as their DEF drops. If she gets attacked or fails to KO her target, there is a extremely high chance that she will be KO'd herself. Despite this flaw, she is undeniable very strong even today and one of the best choices for a battle heavy play style. Kae easily earns my biggest recommendation so far. [u] Conclusion [/u] Out of all the character packs so far, this is one of my personal favorites. Krila and Kae are not only capable of performing well, they're also very fun to play. This pack earns my recommendation with flying colors.
