Stoicheia Emblem

Stoicheia (ストイケイア Sutoikeia) is a nation on Planet Cray, consisting of the former nations of Zoo and Magallanica.

Background

A scenic view showing the coexistence of the ocean and forest spreading outwards. Its prosperity is supported by the two pillars of resources and intelligence.

Surrounded by the Forests and Seas, Successors of the Sage
A nation born from the fusion of the land of abundant nature, "Zoo" and the land of aquatic creatures and the immortal army, "Magallanica" under the teachings of the Great Sage, Stoicheia. A land where the world’s best minds gather within the verdant riches of nature represented by the sacred tree. Stoicheia’s national power has been on a sharp rise of late, due to its abundance of resources and the unity of its people.

Teachings of the Sage
After a long period of rumination, the sage Stoicheia left behind teachings that would connect Planet Cray's future and hope. Even after their death, their will has been inherited by the nation's people.

Playstyle

Stoicheia is focused around the theme of "gathering strength from allies". Stoicheia decks often either gain benefits from having a full field, use Vanguards that unlock abilities enabled by the use of rear-guards, or use Vanguards that prioritize empowering the rear-guards rather than making the Vanguard more powerful. For this purposes, the Nation emphasizes superior calling to quickly populate the field and has multiple means of recovering rear-guards should they be removed. The use of Token Units also allows Stoicheia to gather more rear-guards while conserving hand advantage.

Stoichea also makes extensive use of the Drop Zone, most of its Ride Lines have means of calling Units from the Drop, add cards from Drop to hand, gain benefits if the certain units are in the Drop Zone or if the Drop Zone is large enough. This is supported with means of putting more cards into the Drop Zone, either by rapidly sending the top of the deck to the Drop or selectively choosing cards to discard to the Drop.

Stoichea also emphasizes the use of Order cards with many units that gain abilities when Orders are played, Keywords that enhance the use of Orders or facilitate in adding Orders to the player's hand to continue playing them each turn.

Stoicheia's Ride Lines each make use of the Nation's ability to quickly gather field presence and the use of Order cards in different ways:

• The Sylvan Horned Beast series specialize in granting rear-guards the ability to attack from the backrow to overwhelm the opponent with a large amount of attacks. Because attacking from the backrow means not being able to [Boost], they grant large amounts of [Power]  to the rear-guards so that the unboosted attacks can threaten the opponent.

• The Zorga series make use of the Alchemagic Keyword to emphasize the use of Order cards for a variety of purposes, this is done alongside a heavy use of superior calling from the Drop Zone to call more units that become more powerful if the player has used an Order.
• The Flagburg and Maelstrom series share the theme of using a Vanguard that can perform powerful abilities if the player has reached a certain amount of battles during the turn. They achieve this by using rear-guards that can attack multiple times. Supporting units in both series sometimes require the Vanguard to be [Stand] . Maelstrom additionally can support Tear Dragon units and cards that only belong to the Aqua Force clan.
• The Rorowa ride line make use of Plant Tokens for quick field presence that can also be used as fodder to gain Power and interact with the Glitter Keyword.
• Lianorn is able to be [Boost] by multiple rear-guards and gains benefits for having a full backrow of rear-guards to [Boost] the Vanguard with, also this series gets a power up via the UnisonDress keyword.
• The Granfia ride line feature the ability to convert Plant Tokens into Plant Gauge to be used with the Noblesserose Token in order to gain [Power]  and additional attacks.
• The Mythiarq series aim to gather 5 "Mythiarq" Units and make repeated use of "when placed" abilities by bouncing and re-calling Mythiarq rear-guards.
• The Mushiking series of cards utilizes the "Mushiking: King of the Beetles Machine" crest received when riding on their unique starter. Upon getting this crest, they are able to set three different Hitting, Pinching, and Throwing Attack Set Orders with different grades from their hand/deck, which are used to strengthen the Mushi units when they attack.
• The Lascaria ride line feature the ability to make repeated use of Blitz Orders and gain advantage from doing so. This is supported by the Veleno units which are able to search additional Blitz Orders, also Lascaria and some Veleno units get bonus if you have 3 or more units with Veleno in its names.
• The Cristianos ride line focused in milling their deck to call allies from the drop, some of the support get power up if you have certain number of cards in the drop or if are called from the drop.
• The Stauhiraja line uses the Codex Order cards, which can debuff the opposing player like power reduction and drive reduction, making them more difficult to guard and to fight back.
• The Levidras line places Infinity Eyes Markers on both players circles, which power up the player's units and debuff the opponent's units.

Trivia

• As this nation represents two nations in Premium format, this nation's units are the only ones that can Stride into 2 different Zeroth Dragons and Progenitor Dragons. However, due to clan fight deck regulations, you can only add both Zeroth Dragon of Death Garden, Zoa and Zeroth Dragon of Distant Sea, Megiddo to a deck if Neon Gyze is in the deck, and cannot use Progenitor Dragon of Regal Birth, Megaloma and Progenitor Dragon of Deep Sea, Balanerena together at all. You can only Ultimate Stride if you have a Grade 3 Stoicheia Vanguard (i.e. Magnolia)
