#### Story

Originally a human, she ascended to Megami status alongside Yurina and company at the end of the Tale of Heroes.
She who rides on the steam engine powered mount Vina, and she's an irregular character that came from across the ocean.
She's usually a kind young lady, but on the battlefield she's a bit extreme.

#### Tactics

Attack, defense, mobility, she's got it all. Still, it can't be said that she's the strongest. Her mount Vina requires artificial flower crystals as fuel to move. In exchange for mighty power, you need to do precise fuel management. Let's maneuver onward!

### Mechanic:

#### Machine & Artificial Sakura

You start the game with 5 Artificial Sakura tokens on your machine. Some of your effects burn these tokens, moving them to the burned zone. Some of your effects recover burned tokens, moving them back to your machine.

#### Combust

The keyword Combust is shorthand for the following text:
"Forced: This card cannot be played unless you have at least 1 Artificial Sakura token on your machine.
Forced: When you play this card, burn 1 Artificial Sakura token."

#### Maneuver

Whenever you Maneuver, choose one:
・Move an Artificial Sakura token from your machine onto a Sakura token on Distance that does not already have an Artificial Sakura token on it.
As long as it is there, the covered Sakura token does not count towards Distance, and cannot be affected by other effects. You may not choose this if there is no suitable Sakura token on Distance.
・Move an Artificial Sakura token from your machine to Distance. As long as it is there, it counts towards Distance.
At the beginning of your turn, burn all of your Artificial Sakura tokens used to Maneuver.

#### TransForm

Whenever you TransForm your machine, choose one of your set aside TransForm cards and add it to your machine. When you do so, resolve that card's TransForm effect.

As long as you have a TransForm card on your machine, you may use the additional basic action from that card as a basic action. That card's Forced effect (if any) is active.

### General Strategy

#### Thallya A1

The most optimal way of using **BlackBox NEO** to Transform before your first reshuffle (and every 3+ turns after that) is as follows:

Requires: **BlackBox NEO**, **Quick Change**, and some other source(s) of burning Sakura

* Turn 1
	1. Play **BlackBox NEO** (requires 1 **Flare**), then place a petal from shadow on **BlackBox NEO**. This ends your turn
* Turn 2
	1. Remove 2 Artificial Sakura tokens from your machine before the end of your turn:
		+ **Roaring** (**Burn** 2)
		+ **Turbo Switch** (**Combust**, **Maneuver**)
		+ **Waving Edge** (1-3 3/1 Attack. **Combust**, **After Attack**: **Maneuver**)
		+ Any combiantion of other sources
	2. Resurge **BlackBox NEO** by ending your turn with 3 or less Artificial Sakura tokens on your machine
* Turn 3+
	1. Play **Quick Change** to recover 1 **Burned** Artificial Sakura token
	2. Play **BlackBox NEO** (requires 1 **Flare**) to recover 1 **Burned** Artificial Sakura token, then place a petal from shadow on **BlackBox NEO**, then **Transform**. This ends your turn which resurges **BlackBox NEO**
* Turn 4+
	1. You may now begin the process again from the start.

You can potentially do all the above every 3 turns, depending on draw order.
