Quintet Wall (クインテットウォール Kuintetto Uōru) is an official term, introduced in Booster Set 14: Brilliant Strike, for cards with a special ability to call additional guardians during an attack.

Characteristics[]

All Quintet Wall units have the following characteristics in common:

  • They are grade 1 units with [Power] Power icon 6000.
  • They have 0 printed [Shield] Shield icon.
  • They have Sentinel, so you may only have up to four in your deck, even if they have different names.

How it Works[]

When a Quintet Wall unit is placed on (GC) from hand, by paying a cost of Counter Blast (1), the player reveals the top five cards from his or her deck and calls all units from among them to (GC) in [Rest] Rest state as guardians. After that, for each unit called, the player chooses one of his or her units that is being attacked, and the called unit will guard that chosen unit.

Compared to "Perfect Guard", "Quintet Wall" does not guarantee that the attack will be protected against, and in addition, uses up a valuable Counter Blast. However, it has the advantage of not needing to discard a card from hand, and thus can be used if it is the only card in the player's hand. In addition, it can help fill up the drop zone to perform Legion. Thus Quintet Walls are better for early-game setup and defense rather than high-[Power] Power icon late-game threats, for which Perfect Guards are better.

History[]

Originally, Quintet Wall units could only have their ability used if they were of the same clan as the unit being attacked, and could only call guardians with its ability that were the same clan as the unit being attacked. Starting from Booster Set 16: Legion of Dragons & Blades, these restrictions are no longer present on Quintet Wall units due to Clan Fight regulations making them no longer necessary.

Starting with G Booster Set 2: Soaring Ascent of Gale & Blossom, Quintet Walls began to be printed at R rarity to make them easier to get than and encourage players to use them over Perfect Guards, which at the time were printed at RR rarity. However, starting with G Trial Deck 1: Awakening of the Interdimensional Dragon, Perfect Guards began to be included in trial decks, essentially rendering this benefit moot for many clans.

G Booster Set 7: Glorious Bravery of Radiant Sword introduced a new variant of Quintet Walls, whose ability can only be used if your vanguard is being attacked but include a bonus or ability in addition to the "Quintet Wall" ability. Duo Create Quill, Ilya is another new variant of Quintet Wall, whose ability only can used by having a vanguard of its respective Sub-Clan.

Background[]

What are the Quintet Walls? (CotD 31/5/2016)

The "Quintet Walls", as the name "five walls" states, is the general name for the ability "call five cards from the top of your deck to (GC)". All of them have the ability Sentinel, and only up to four cards of "Perfect Guards" and "Quintet Walls" in total can be contained in a deck. Unlike "Perfect Guards" which can completely shut out G units' powerful attacks with 2 cards from hand, inclusion and usage of Quintet Walls require some skills, and Quintet Walls can be said as Sentinels suited for mid-ranked players or above. Unlike "Perfect Guards" which is useful for stopping vanguards' powerful attacks, Quintet Walls are useful for stopping early-game attacks and rear-guards' attacks reinforced by triggers with only 1 card in hand. Also described in "R&D Talk", for decks which are "aggressive but poor at replenishing cards", adding 1-2 Quintet Walls can reduce damage while preserving cards in hand.

In the past, there had been an "Aqua Force" centered around "Ripple" using 2 Quintet Walls. Quintet Walls are effective Sentinels for decks that consider early-game offense and defense, and we suggest you to examine them.
