Damn, that is soul heavy. So, uh…I dunno if I can really review this without reviewing Love Sniper Nociel as well, so I might as well discuss the two together. So you use Love Sniper’s skill ater attacking, to ride into this, so it’s -3. You then get a card back through Drive Check, but in excahnge, depending on the damage zone you can get another attack…maybe two if you’re lucky. Is this balanced? I guess. Is it consistent? Not especially. It reminds me a little of Raging Form Dragon back in the old era – that was a -4 and kept Twin Drive. Yes there were less targets to work with, but Late Game you were bound to hit a copy anyway because of the draws and Drive Checks. I would much rather Love Sniper did that instead…or at the very least powered up upon riding into new Nociel, because it’s not especially hard hitting compared to another card I’m reviewing later this week.

Not enough bang for buck in today’s meta, I think, but then again it was only a RRR card to be combined with a RR card. At least the second skill searches.

2.75/5
