[Revenge] is undeniably one of the most power, prominent, and game defining keywords in all of System Gate. Today we will discuss why, how each planet utilizes it, and how to play around it.
Revenge is the primary way to deal damage and/or disrupt your opponent’s formation during their turn. This alone makes it powerful, but Revenge also has a variation in output. If your opponent link attacks with low enough power, you could potential destroy all of the units in the link attack with your [Revenge]. To top it off, a card that grants [Revenge] is easily accessible to all Planets thanks to the Asteroid card “Asteroid Energy.” Due to all of these factors, it’s no wonder that [Revenge] strategies are incredibly common with the majority of players.
Next, let’s cover how each Planet takes advantage of this powerful Keyword. Venus and Alpha Centauri, as usual, are the average. Each coming with a Spell that increases a unit’s stats by +5000/+5000 and giving [Revenge] for the battle. Neptune has a spell that works in the same way, but gives +6000/+6000. As expected, Neptune as the most powerful spell version of this effect. Uranus does things a bit different. They have a spell that allows for the summoning of a Unit during [Counter] timing, that unit is then given [Revenge]. The rest of the planets will have to make due with the aforementioned Asteroid Energy for now.
So, now that we know about [Revenge] and what it can, how do we play around it? In general, it’s a safe bet to assume that your opponent will be using a [Revenge] card in their deck. To this effect, if you are concerned about getting messed up by [Revenge], attack with your weakest unit first. If you do get Revenged, you’ll be losing less value this way. Try and anticipate when your opponent has a [Counter] card and try to bait them into using it! Against Uranus, Link Attacking is key! Uranus’ primary fizzle only works against Link attacks was well as not having a way to increase defense with their Planetary [Revenge] card. So if you link attack against them, odds are it will go your way.
