Attack

Machine Gun Punches

Attack (わざ Waza) is a collective term to refer to cards possessing the Attack keyword, found on Hitting Attack, Pinching Attack and Throwing Attack set order Mushiking collaboration cards.

How it works

• Attack cards have an altered card formatting, replicating how their original counterparts look with the Vanguard characteristics added on top.
  • However, unlike Mushi unit cards, the modifications are purely aesthetic, and are not necessary to understand the effect of an Attack card, but can still be useful as a way to remember which Attack cards work with each Mushi.
• The Attack keyword works in a similar fashion to Operate: When instructed to use an Attack card's Attack, that card's Attack ability is put on stand-by.
• Currently, Attack abilities can only be used through the "Mushiking: King of the Beetles Machine" crest when a Mushi unit attacks, and they all follow the same pattern.
  1. If the attacking Mushi's Skill is above a certain threshold, the attacking unit gets [Power] +5000 until end of turn.
  2. If the attacking Mushi's Finishing Attack matches with the Attack card's subtype (Hitting/Pinching/Throwing), the attacking unit gets [Power] +5000 until end of turn.
  3. If the attacking Mushi's Super Finishing Attack is the one specified by the Attack ability (normally the Attack card's card name, or the card name minus the word "Super"), a unique effect is performed, which usually involves discarding additional copies of the Attack card to fully perform.

Tips

• Due to the crest's limitation, normally it is only possible to use three different Attack cards in a game, all with different grades and Finishing Attack icons.
• It possible to determine which effects can be applied to a Mushi unit by an Attack card simply by looking at that Mushi and that Attack card's grades and Finishing Attack icons.
  1. The first effect is applied if the Attack card's grade is greater than or equal to the Mushi's.
     • This happens because all Attack cards ask for a minimum Skill number that is 10 points less than what a Mushi of that grade would have, decreasing with each grade.
  2. The second effect is applied if the Attack card and the Mushi unit have the same Finishing Attack icon in the top-left corner.
  3. The third effect is applied if the Attack card and the Mushi unit have both the same grade and the same Finishing Attack icon.
