How the deck wins

Most Okayu 1sts and 2nds deal 10-20 special damage to the opponent's holomem, often the center and a back holomem. Small hits add up, and damaged back holomem fall before they bloom into attackers.

2nd Okayu hBP05-045 hits for 120, adds 20 special damage and sends an archived cheer to a back #GAMERS holomem.

1st Okayu hBP05-043 in the collab spot draws the opponent's attacks away from your center; the trained AI collabs it about 9 times as often as the general AI.
