Welcome to Sword Girls, the
anime-style online card game about swords, sorcery, and schoolgirls. This time,
well be taking a look at the games third faction, Crux. The nation of Crux is
famous for two things. The first is their devotion to their faith. The second is
the order of Crux Knights, soldiers who protect Crux and humanity from whatever
dark creatures lurk in the night. These arent mere students, but a standing
army of holy warriors who once saved the world from a deadly invasion from
another realm. They have both the skill and the determination to vanquish
darkness, wherever they find it.
Luthica Preventer
Crux Knight Luthica is the star Character of Crux. Rescued at an early age by
Head Knight Jaina, Luthica repaid the favor by joining the Crux Knights. Since
then, shes proven herself time and time again, and she leads the charge
wherever she goes. Luthica is an inspiring figure, and at the start of every
turn, a Crux Follower under her command has its Attack and Stamina raised by one
each, allowing it to hit harder and last longer.
Crux Knight Pintail
Crux Knight Pintail is a formidable Follower. Now, every card has a Size rating.
This is a rough measure of its power, but mainly exists to place a limit on how
many cards you can have in play at one time. The cards in your Field can only
have a total size of up to 10 at once. Most are rated from 1-5, and Pintail is a
4. Every time shes attacked by a Follower with a smaller Size, her Attack and
Defense rise by one each. Shell take hits, but if she survives long enough, her
boosted Defense will shrug off any attack direct at her, and her boosted Attack
will counter for serious damage.
Close Encounter
Close Encounter is a Spell that grants two Attack and two Stamina to two Crux
Followers. Its a simple, but very effective Spell that lets you prepare for a
larger attack, or react quickly to the appearance of an unexpected foe. Speaking
of which, who is that girl in the background? Could she be related to the fourth
Sword Girls faction? Youll all find out next time, but theres still one more
card to go.
Pacifism
Pacifism is a unique and powerful Double Rare card. Double Rares are the hardest
cards to get in the entire game, and are often capable of turning a battle
around. When Pacifism is cast, all Followers, both allied and enemy, are
deactivated. In short, whatever Spells are out will be cast, but no ones going
to be doing any attacking. However, Pacifism isnt entirely passive. The
ceasefire gives you an opportunity to prepare yourself, and every Crux Follower
you control has its SIZE reduced by 1, giving you room to send out even more
Followers and Spells.
