Perdition

Perdition Dragon, Whirlwind Dragon & Vortex Dragonewt

"Perdition" (煉獄れんごく Rengoku, literally "Purgatory") is a series of cards exclusive to the Kagero clan. They were first introduced in Booster Set 17: Blazing Perdition.

Etymology

Within Christian theology, Perdition is a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.

Background

Warriors who bear the title "Perdition"

From the discrepancy between memories and the history, those who notice the catastrophe of the world vaguely take actions, in order to find out the true identity of the Light which they recall in common. Behind the exaggerate actions of "Brawlers", some warriors rallied under the title of "Perdition" and acted with the facade of consolidating the gradually distorting foundation of the Empire. Now, the advance party, lead by "Vortex Dragonewt", is investigating in different places while suppressing the outlaws. The main troop, lead by the commander, is focusing on watching over the nation and expanding its force at this moment. After all, they can feel the humongous enemy behind this catastrophe.

Playstyle

Serving as the sub-clan focused on Legion for the Kagero clan, the members of Perdition distinguish themselves from other Kagero units via their focus on retiring enemy rear-guards in the same column as themselves, often for a lower cost compared to other Kagero units thus sacrificing a degree of choice for better resource efficiency during the period when the sub-clan debuted. Rear-guards not in possession of skills that retire the opponent's rear-guards are able to increase the [Power]  of themselves and others or counter charge when the opponent's rear-guards in the same column as themselves are retired or none are present in the column.

The vanguards of Perdition function in a looser manner then the rear-guards they command, often being able to choose one of the opponent's rear-guards and proceed to retire all rear-guards present in the same column, a boon that is particularly beneficial when dealing with rear-guards possessing the Resist ability. Certain vanguards within the sub-clan possess skills that do not follow the trends of the sub-clan such as Perdition Dragon, Vortex Dragonewt's ability to inflict a damage on the opponent's vanguard while also negating the trigger effect of the damage received.
