Order/Arms

Arms (装備そうび Sōbi, literally "Equipment") is a subtype of Normal Order introduced in D Start Deck 06: Mirei Minae -Sealed Blaze Maiden-. Orders with the Arms subtype printed in them are exclusive to the Dragon Empire nation, although unit cards can be played as Arms in the Record of Ragnarok nation via the Völundr keyword.

In Cardfight!! Vanguard ZERO, Armed is treated as a keyword ability, functioning by providing skills directly to Sealed Blaze Maiden, Bavsargra.

How It Works[]

Cards with this subtype have the keyword "Arms" (装備 Sōbi), which allows them to be armed with a specified vanguard, either by playing them during the main phase or with an ability. By doing so, you put that Arms card on the vanguard circle at the left or right side of your vanguard, according to the information in its text. It becomes armed with that unit and they remain this way during the game.
- If an Arms card is specifically armed by a different ability, it still follows the same introductions above, but its play cost does not need to be paid this way.
There can only be one Arms card on the left or right side at a time. If a new card is armed on a certain side, the former card on the same side must be put into the drop zone.
If the current vanguard does not have the card name specified by the Arms card, that Arms card must be put into the drop zone. This includes if a vanguard with a different card name is placed by riding, but does not include riding a vanguard with the same name, nor does it include striding, as the G unit inherits the card name of the heart card.
- Riding or striding does not activate 'When this is armed' conditions.

As opposed to the TCG, "Deity Arms" do not exist as Order cards but rather as skills given to Sealed Blaze Maiden, Bavsargra.

When a vanguard is Armed, it becomes the Armed State.
- A unit Armed with Right Deity Arms, gets the following 2 abilities.
  "(VC):During your turn, this unit gets [Power]+5000.
  (VC):At the end of the battle that this unit attacked a vanguard, if you have 2 Arms, and your opponent's damage zone has 4 or less cards, Counter Blast (2) to deal one damage to your opponent. Unarm the Right Deity Arms."
- A unit Armed with Left Deity Arms, gets the following ability.
  "(VC)1/Turn:When this unit is attacked, and you lose if you do not guard, automatically Counter Blast (1) to get [Power]+5000 until end of that battle."
When your vanguards changes, if that new vanguard is Sealed Blaze Maiden, Bavsargra, the Arms will stay with that unit. Otherwise, all Arms will be removed.
