How the deck wins
Watame's stage skill, Do-do-drive, puts the top card of your deck into holo power whenever one of your Watame uses Arts. At 6 power, Shall I do a Horn Drill? (once per turn) gives every Watame Arts+100 for the turn.
2nd Watame hBP07-014 is the main attacker: 160, and from the center, when it downs a holomem with damage to spare, the extra damage hits one of the opponent's 2nd holomem as special damage. 2nd hBP09-022 does 100, or 150 with 4+ holo power.
LAMBDUCK hBP06-083 counts as Watame. In the collab spot with a 2nd Watame in your center, its 80-damage Arts needs no cheers at all, and its attacks also add holo power. The trained AI learned to use it far more than the general AI.

Key cards
2nd Watame hBP07-014 (main attacker)
Headshot with the Watame Hammer!: 160 for white + white + colorless. Center only: if it downs a holomem with more damage than its remaining HP, deal the excess as special damage to 1 of the opponent's 2nd holomem. Gift: +10 HP per holomem stacked under it (200 HP base).
Your finisher in the center. With the Hammer attached it hits for 210.
Tsunomaki Watame (oshi)
Stage skill Do-do-drive: when your Watame uses Arts, put the top card of your deck into holo power. 6 power, once per turn: all your Watame get Arts+100 this turn.
Attack with Watame every turn to grow power; spend 6 for the +100 on a lethal turn.
LAMBDUCK
1st, also regarded as Watame and Subaru. I Am Subaru & Watame! Yeah!!: 80 for 3 yellow; in the collab spot it needs 1 yellow less with a Watame oshi, and 3 less (free) if your center is a 2nd Watame. Collab: reveal a Subaru from hand (here only another LAMBDUCK counts) to return a Watame or Subaru from the archive to hand. The cheer deck is all white, so in practice it attacks only in the free case.
Bloom it and collab it next to a 2nd Watame center for a free 80 every turn.
2nd Watame hBP09-022
The Flowers Are Beautiful: 100, +50 with 4+ holo power, for white + white. Bloom: choose an opposing holomem; with 10+ holo power it counts as a 2nd this turn.
Second attacker; at 10+ power its bloom lets hBP07-014's excess damage reach any holomem.
1st Watame hBP07-010
Collab: put the top deck card into holo power, look at your holo power and take 1 card, then shuffle it. Arts: 40 for 1 white.
Your best collab early: power and a card at once.
Tsunomaki Watame's Hammer
Tool: Watame gets Arts+20. On a 2nd Watame in the center: Arts+30 more, but each Arts rolls a die and on 3 or 5 deals 50 special damage to one of your other holomem.
Put it on your center 2nd for +50; keep your back holomem healthy because of the self-damage.
Watch the Hammer's die roll: on a 3 or 5 it deals 50 special damage to one of your own other holomem (collab or back), so it can knock out a damaged one.
Game plan
Turns 1–2
Early game
Set up Debuts and start building holo power.
Use Normal PC to fill the stage with Debut Watames.
Going second on your first turn, collab debut hBP07-008 so a Watame can use its Arts twice.
Collab 1st hBP07-010 when you can: +1 holo power and a card from it.
Attack with Watame every turn so the stage skill keeps adding power.
Turns 3–4
Mid game
Bloom 1sts, get LAMBDUCK ready and 2nd Watame into the center.
Bloom 1st hBP07-011 to search another 1st Watame, and 1st hBP07-012 for 30 special damage.
Bloom LAMBDUCK and keep it for the collab spot; collab debut hBP07-009 much less (it is better in the center).
Bloom 2nd hBP07-014 in the center around your 3rd turn, with the Hammer and 3 cheers.
Turn 5 on
Late game
Two attacks a turn close it out.
2nd hBP07-014 hits for 210 with the Hammer; LAMBDUCK in the collab spot adds a free 80.
With 4+ holo power, 2nd hBP09-022 hits for 150 on 2 white cheers.
At 6 power, use Shall I do a Horn Drill? for Arts+100 on every Watame on the turn it wins the game.
