Cardfight!! Vanguard - Breakdown of Nova Grapplers - Part 4

Grade 3 Breakdown:

I will go into more detail by seperating them by Vanguard-Effective units only, of which I will attempt to make a deck of each one. The Vanguard-Effective Unit cards will be listed 3 at a time.

Armored Fairy, Sphira (left) is a 10000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): (Soul Blast (3)) When this Unit's attack hits, and you have a <<Nova Grappler>> Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If so, draw 1 card.
• Auto (V): When this Unit is boosted by a <<Nova Grappler>> for that battle, this Unit gains +3000 Power.

If you have it in either, you can do the Soul Blast anytime you want; however, most of the time, you will not have it. Reason why it's a Vanguard Unit to choose from is the second effect, which can set up a 20000 or 21000 Power Lane.

Asura Kaiser (middle) is a 11000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Continuous (V/R): When you don't have other <<Nova Grappler>> Vanguard or Rear Guards, this Unit loses -2000 Power.
• Auto (V): When this Unit's Drive Check reveals a Grade 3 <<Nova Grappler>> choose 1 of your Rear Guards and Stand it.

If you don't have any other Nova Grappler Vanguard or Rear Guards, then this becomes a 9000 Grade 3 unit. The reason why it's a Vanguard unit is because of the second effect, which can set up 5 attack lanes, if you use Death Army Lady and Death Army Guy.

Beast Deity, Azure Dragon (right) is another 11000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Continuous (V/R): If you have a non <<Nova Grappler>> Vanguard or Rearguard, this unit gets Power -2000.
• Auto (V): (Select 1 <<Beast Deity Azure Dragon>> in your hand and discard it) When this Unit's attack hits the Vanguard, you can pay the cost. If you do, stand 2 of your Rearguards.

If this was in your Vanguard position, you can set up another attack lane easily by using the effect, if it hits the Vanguard and if you have another Beast Deity, Azure Dragon in your hand.

Gold Rutile (left) is a 10000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V): When your Rear Guard's attack hits a Vanguard, choose 1 from your Damage Zone and unflip it.
• Auto (V): (Counter Blast (2)) When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If paid, choose 1 of your <<Nova Grappler>> Rear Guards and Stand it.

If you're running a heavy Counterblast deck, you would want to run this card if most of your Rear Guards counterblast.

Mr. Invincible (middle) is a 10000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V) : During the start of your Main Phase, Soul Charge (1), choose 1 from your Damage Zone and unflip it.
• Auto (V/R) : (Soul Blast (8), Counter Blast (5)) When this Unit's attack hits, you may pay the cost. If paid, all of your Units stand.

This card would be great for Soul building and Counterblast decks. His last effect can trigger into 5 Attacks, but with a cost of 8 Soul and 5 damage being flipped.

Perfect Raizer (right) is a 11000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Continuous (V/R): If you do not have another "Raizer" Unit other than this card in your Vanguard Circle or Rearguard Circle, this Unit loses -2000 Power.
• Continuous (V): During your Turn, this Unit gains +3000 Power for each "Raizer" Unit in your Soul.
• Continuous (V): If you have 4 or more "Raizer" Units in your Soul, this Unit gains +1 Critical.
• Auto: When this Unit appears in the Vanguard Circle, place all "Raizer" Units you control into your Soul.

If you ever make a Raizer deck, this card would be perfect for you in that deck as the Grade 3 Vanguard unit.

Stern Blaukruger (left) is a 10000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit, and also the last card in the "Chain Ride" Stern Blaukruger series. Stern Blaukruger's effect is listed below:

• Continuous (V): If you have (Blaukruger) in your Soul, this Unit gains +1000 PWR.
• Auto (V): (Counter Blast (2), Discard 2 <<Nova Grappler>>'s from your Hand) When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If paid, Stand all of your Units on the same column as this Unit, and during that turn, this Unit loses its (Twin Drive!!) ability.

Pretty much, this card will only be used within his own deck.

Top Gun (middle) is a 10000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V): When a <<Nova Grappler>> Rearguard rests, this Unit gains +1000 Power during this turn.

This unit could be potentially used in a Rear Guard Stand deck, which this card can gain potentially 4000 more power, and only need a 6000 or 7000 Power Booster.

Ultimate Lifeform, Cosmo Lord is a 10000 Grade 3 Vanguard unit with an effect listed below:

• Activate (V): (Choose 1 of your <<Nova Grappler>> Rearguards, and Rest it) During that turn, this Unit gains +3000 Power.

There's a unit that allows you to stand in the Main Phase after using Ultimate Lifeform, Cosmo Lord's effect, by flipping one card in the Damage Zone.

Then, there's effective units that work in either the Vanguard circle or Rear Guard circles. Those units will be listed 3 at a time.

Death Metal Droid (left) is a 10000 Grade 3 unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): (Counter Blast (1)) When this Unit attacks, you may pay the cost. If paid, during that Battle, this Unit gains +3000 Power.

You'll need a 7000 Power Booster for 20000 Power Lane, or an 8000 Power Booster for 21000 Power Lane.

Brutal Joker (middle) is a 10000 Grade 3 Unit with an effect listed below:

• Activate (V/R): (Counterblast (2)) During that turn, this Unit gains +4000 Power.

You'll need a 6000 Power Booster for 20000 Power Lane, or a 7000 Power Booster for 21000 Power Lane.

Lion Heat (right) is a 10000 Grade 3 Unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V) (Counter Blast (2)) When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If paid, choose 1 of your <<Nova Grappler>> Rear Guards and stand it.
• Auto (R) (Counter Blast (2)) When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If paid, choose 1 of your Grade 1 or lower <<Nova Grappler>> Rear Guards and stand it.

If you plan on reusing a Nova Grappler booster than turn, you would attempt to hit the Vanguard with this unit. Great for Heavy Counterblasting decks, and great for rushing your opponent.

Miss Splendor (left) is a 10000 Grade 3 unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): When this Unit attacks, your opponent cannot Intercept during this Battle.

This unit will be great for giving Triggers to, because your opponent will have restricted options in Guarding.

Moai the Great (middle) is a 10000 Grade 3 unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): When this unit is boosted by a <<Nova Grappler>> unit, this unit gains Power +2000 until the end of that battle.

You'll need an 8000 Power Booster for 20000 Power Lane, or a 9000 Power Booster for 21000 Power Lane.

Muscle Hercules (right) is a 10000 Grade 3 unit with an effect listed below:

• Auto: When this unit is placed on a Vanguard Circle or Rearguard Circle, if you have a <<Nova Grappler>> Vanguard, choose a card from your damage zone, and flip it face-up.

Great for Heavy Counterblast decks. It'll depend heavily on what you use, so this card may or may not be used within a Heavy Counterblast deck.
