Enhance Swordcraft Deck - How to Play

Build up Faith Value using Enhance effects

In the early game, play cards with Enhance effects to build up your Faith count. If you play other Enhance cards after activating Majestic Conquest, you can continuously build a strong field while accumulating Faith.

Best to use Enhance every turn from 3T to 6T

If you use Enhance every turn from turn 3 to turn 6, you can activate Yidmetra, Eld Sword's Faith at the earliest. Look at the Enhance cards in your hand and be mindful of your plays from turns 3 to 6 as you proceed with the game.

Strengthen Enhance Cards with Yidmetra's Faith

Once your Faith Value reaches 5, use Yidmetra, Eld Sword's Evolve effect to strengthen your Enhance cards. By building up Yidmetra, Eld Sword's Faith Value early, you can pressure your opponent from the mid-game with a powerful field using Enhance cards.

Tutor Yidmetra with Rosé

This deck can consistently search for Yidmetra, Eld Sword with Rose, Princess Knight. It's important to save her for her Enhance (5) instead of playing her for 3 cost to add Yidmetra, Eld Sword to your hand.

Control the Field by Evolving Loyal Guard

Loyal Guard is a powerful follower that can deal 3 damage upon evolving and has high stats. Especially when going 2nd, it's a useful card for retaking the field, so be sure to evolve it actively once you reach your evolution turns.

Build a Strong Field with Noel IV, Ruthless Warlord

Noel IV, Ruthless Warlord is a powerful card capable of deploying followers on the field. When played with Enhance (8), it summons Fearless Soldiers with Drain and Storm, allowing you to pressure the field while chipping away at the opponent's defense, which makes it easier to lead into Albert, Levin Stormsaber.

Even Stronger While Conquest or Yidmetra's Effects are Active

When the effects of Majestic Conquest or Yidmetra, Eld Sword are active, playing Noel IV, Ruthless Warlord provides benefits such as getting buffs or increasing the number of Fearless Soldiers that appear. Especially while Yidmetra, Eld Sword's Faith is active, the amount of restoration from Drain and damage from Storm increases, allowing for even more powerful plays.

Building a Stronger Team Is Also Possible with Lyria and Conquest

After Yidmetra, Eld Sword's Faith is active, playing Lyria, Skydestined or Majestic Conquest with Enhance lets you continue building a powerful field for a low cost. You can aim for lethal by buffing followers the opponent failed to clear, and continuing to build the field also serves as a check against Sandalphon, Primarch Successor.

Play Golden Knight as a Counter

Golden Knight, True King's Blade is a card that functions as a counter, combining AOE and restoration. In the current environment, there are cards like Althenia, Nurturing Bloom that can create a powerful wide board development with just one card, so it's effective to play it as a counter when you have no other solutions like Noel IV, Ruthless Warlord.

Finish with Albert

After gaining an advantage on the field, aim to finish the game with Albert, Levin Stormsaber. If Yidmetra, Eld Sword's effect is active, Albert will be buffed and will be able to dish out 14 damage, so aim for the finish while expanding your lethal range on turn 9.

OTK Possible by Activating Yidmetra's Faith Twice

If Yidmetra, Eld Sword's Faith has activated twice, the damage from an Enhance (9) Albert, Levin Stormsaber increases to 16 with Super-Evolution. On turn 10, by also using Depths of the Eld Sword, you can deal 20 damage with Albert alone, making a One-Turn Kill a very possible reality.

Mulligan Guide for the Enhance Swordcraft

Keep Majestic Conquest, Serenity's Shield, Yidmetra, and Rosé

Majestic Conquest	Serenity's Shield
Yidmetra	Rose, Princess Knight

In your opening hand, look for Majestic Conquest, Serenity's Shield, Yidmetra, and Rosé. Majestic Conquest and Serenity's Shield are excellent because they help you fill your side of the table and take the lead early. You should keep Yidmetra because you want to activate her special power as soon as possible. Rose is also a keeper for the same reason, as she can search your deck to find Yidmetra.

Keep Ruthless Eld Sword and Heartless Strategist Together

Ruthless Eld Sword

Heartless Strategist

If you already have the key cards mentioned above, you can also keep Ruthless Eld Sword and Heartless Strategist. These are great choices because they add to your Enhance count while removing enemy followers from the table.

How to Counter the Enhance Swordcraft

Attack from the start with decks that can be aggressive in the early game

Enhance Swordcraft has many cards it wants to play with Enhance, making its early game weak, so be sure to attack from the beginning of the match. By doing so, you can delay the completion of Yidmetra's Faith by preventing them from playing cards with Enhance.

Thoroughly clear the field after Yidmetra's Faith is complete

After Yidmetra's Faith is complete, playing a card with Enhance buffs all allied followers, significantly strengthening their field, so be sure to clear their field thoroughly and leave nothing behind.

Use Ward to make it difficult for them to use Albert

Enhance Swordcraft often finishes the game with an Enhanced Albert, dealing massive damage with a double-attack Storm effect while also clearing the field with a 3-damage AoE. If you put up a Ward with 4 or more defense, it won't be destroyed by the AoE, allowing you to reduce the damage you take from the Storm attack.

Be wary of the damage output after Yidmetra's Faith is complete

After Yidmetra's Faith is complete, allies get +1/+1 when a card is played with Enhance, so be wary as an Enhanced Albert can deal 14 damage. Keep in mind that followers can be buffed even further after the second completion of Yidmetra's Faith or with Depths of the Eld Sword (Enhance 1), which is obtained from Yidmetra.

Be wary of Glittering Gold and the Majestic Conquest Crest

If the opponent has Glittering Gold or the Majestic Conquest Crest is active, be careful as they can break through your Ward by dealing damage for 0 cost after Albert's 3-damage AoE. Keep track of how many Glittering Golds your opponent has and set up a Ward with enough defense to prevent them from breaking through.
