An Aggro Deck That Wins Through Swarming

Oluon Swordcraft is an Aggro deck that closes out games through relentless attacks and burst damage. You pressure the opponent early by swarming the board, then in the late game use powerful Storm followers or the explosive damage from Oluon, Raging Chariot to finish the opponent before they reach their strongest turns.

Oluon Swordcraft Deck - How to Play

Play Followers in the Early to Mid-Game

In the early to mid‑game, keep developing your board with followers and push damage to the enemy leader. In particular, buffing a wide board with Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward is extremely powerful and can even win the game outright if unanswered, so look for this play aggressively.

Chip Down the Leader With Storm Followers

From the mid‑game onward, use Storm Followers like Zeta & Bea, Crimson and Blue and Odin, Twilit Fate to steadily chip away at the enemy Leader. Your goal is to bring their Defense to 7 (or 8 with a Super‑Evolution), putting them in range of a single hit from Oluon, Raging Chariot.

When Behind, Push Them to at Least 14 DP

Even if your early aggression stalls or you’re facing a deck with strong healing or board control, aim to bring the opponent to 14 DP so two hits from Oluon, Raging Chariot can finish the game.

Finish the Game by Evolving Oluon, Raging Chariot

Once the enemy DP is low enough, evolve Oluon, Raging Chariot and go for lethal. The fewer followers on the field, the higher the chance the damage hits the enemy leader, so try to play it when there are as few followers on the field as possible.

Increase Your Chances by Managing Defense Totals

At 7 Defense, the opponent dies to a single hit, which increases your odds of winning. Also, if your own DP is at 15 or higher, you can survive two self‑hits and still activate the ability a third time, giving you more chances to land lethal.

Use Super-Evolution

Using a Super‑Evolution lets you use Knockback to push the opponent into Oluon’s lethal range even at 8 (or 15) Defense. In addition, if you’ve played Grimnir, Heavenly Gale, you can clear all Followers with 2 Defense or less before Oluon’s ability triggers, which makes it easier for the damage to connect.

When Ahead, Go for the Win Without Relying on Oluon, Raging Chariot

Because Oluon, Raging Chariot always carries some risk, if you’re already ahead and can win without it, it’s often better to close out the game with safer options.

Mulligan Guide for the Oluon Swordcraft

Keep Low-Cost Followers

Keep Multiple Low-Cost Cards
Flashstep Quickblader	Luminous Lancetrooper	Serenity's Shield
Devotee of Usurpation	Grimnir, Heavenly Gale	Valse, Silent Sniper

To pressure the opponent earlyt, keep one or two 1–3 cost Followers. These help you establish tempo and start chipping away at their Defense from turn 1.

Keep Mid-Cost Cards as a Set

Keep with the Low-Cost Cards Above
Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward	Albert, Levin Stormsaber	Zeta & Bea, Crimson and Blue

Alongside your low‑cost options, keep strong mid‑game cards like Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward, Albert, Levin Stormsaber, and Zeta & Bea, Crimson and Blue. These ensures that you can continue pushing damage and maintain board pressure from turn 4 onward.

How to Counter the Oluon Swordcraft

Fight for the Field Early

By fighting for control of the field early on, you can take less damage and stop the opponent from overwhelming you with fast "Storm" attacks or Oluon. Since this opponent hits very hard, it is important to keep your leader's health high from the very beginning.

Fill the Board to Distract Oluon

Oluon Swordcraft tries to win by Evolving "Oluon, Raging Chariot," who deals massive damage to a random target. Since the target is chosen randomly from everyone, you can lower the chance of your leader getting hit by putting more followers on the field to act as decoys.

Keep Your Health at 8 or 15

Oluon deals 7 damage at a time. By keeping your health at 8 or 15 (above a multiple of 7), it becomes much harder for the opponent to knock you out in one hit. If the opponent uses Super-Evolution, watch out for the extra 1 damage from the Fanfare effect, so try to stay at 9 or 16 health instead.

Lower the Enemy's Health to Multiples of 7

If you lower the enemy leader's health to 7 or 14, when they play Oluon, there is a higher chance they will accidentally knock themselves out. Try to keep their health at these numbers to turn their own card against them.

Keep Followers Healthy to Survive Grimnir

Grimnir deals 2 damage to everyone on the board. You should try to keep your followers' health at 3 or higher. Since Oluon's random attack happens *after* Grimnir's 2 damage, you want your followers to survive the first hit so they are still on the field to block the random attack for you.

Keep 2 or More Followers to Stop Fast Attacks

If you have two or more followers on your side, it is harder for "Storm" followers like Odin to hit your leader. In addition to staying alive by keeping blockers on the field, having more followers also makes it more likely for Oluon to miss you and hit the opponent instead.

Block Albert with Strong Defenders

Albert is a dangerous card that deals 3 damage to everyone before attacking twice. If you play a Ward follower with 4 or more health, it will survive the hit, allowing it to successfully block Albert's attacks and protect you.
