Notes:-

• This deck focuses on controlling the opponent’s field via retiring and Big Bang Knuckle Turbo’s skill. All the while retaining its aggression with units like Chatura and Big Bang Slash Buster for on-hit threats.
• Maximising Skyhowl Dragon to 4 in the deck helps to control early rushes as its cheap Counterblast cost makes it viable from early to late game. Its skill also complements units like Finish Blow Dragon and Conquest Dragon very well.
• Unlike many typical Brawler decks, this deck plays 12 criticals simply because you can easily stride up, even if you are missing a Big Bang Knuckle unit for Big Bang Knuckle Buster’s skill cost. 4 Mighty Bolt Dragoons sees to that, so that you aren’t absolutely forced to rely on the legion skill to control an opponent’s field.
• Overall, this deck is one of the most flexible and has the best synergy with the wide spread of strides Narukami has available. The only problem is that this deck has a slow setup, making it vulnerable to faster decks like Royal Paladin. Even so, the deck should not be underestimated as it packs a powerful punch with Big Bang Knuckle Turbo’s skill being a Counterblast 1 to kill 3 units per heart, even if it was used as a first stride without being in Legion first.
