[CONT](VC):During your turn, all of your rear-guards with equip gauge get [Power]+5000. If your opponent’s vanguard is grade 3 or greater, they get [Power]+10000 instead of +5000. [AUTO](VC):When it attacks, COST [Counter Blast (1) & retire a rear-guard], and this unit gets the original [Power] of the unit retired for this cost until end of that battle. If your opponent’s vanguard is grade 3 or greater, it gets the original [Critical] as well.

Now I can’t look at any Tachikaze boss without thinking of Angerblader. That’s a high bar to clear, to be actually better than a card so good it had to be limited to 1, but let’s try and ignore that. Is Gaia Emperor good? Well, 10k to all RGs with equip gauge is pretty neat, but that’s basically only going to be of relevance to Smilodon who can actually give equip gauge out, because Gaia Emperor…can’t. Yup, he’s the first VR boss who cannot actually fuel himself, how very sad. But it’s nice to see all the ways to make Accel 2 hurt less by allowing meatier hits for everyone, not just Sweeperacrocanto. Second skill is a little meh, because to be honest I can name cheaper Crit gainers, and it’s going to be of precisely no relevance if you’re going first, no-one will block the Vanguard until Late Game so JUST power increases isn’t a good enough reason to use it.

Use for the lanes, because the second skill unless you got sacked is not going to be of too much help. As it stands it’s worth building a deck around more than Gigarex is, but still.

2.75/5
