Expert Analysis
Strategic Overview
Scratchmen Apoo (Winner Pack 2025 Vol. 2) (EB01-015) is a highly efficient 1-cost Character with 1000 power and a valuable 2000 counter. His [On Play] effect allows you to rest up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 2 or less. This makes Apoo an excellent tempo tool, capable of clearing small blockers, enabling direct attacks against rested characters, or neutralizing low-cost threats immediately upon play. He's a staple in many green strategies for his ability to disrupt early board states and maintain pressure.
Key Strategic Synergies
- • Eustass"Captain"Kid (OP01-075): Apoo's ability to rest an opponent's character perfectly sets up attacks for leaders or characters like Eustass"Captain"Kid, who often gain benefits or can attack rested characters more effectively.
- • Trafalgar Law (OP01-002) (Leader): In a Green/Yellow Law deck, Apoo can be played to rest a character, then bounced back to hand by Law's leader effect to reuse his [On Play] ability on a subsequent turn, or to make space for another character.
- • Basil Hawkins (OP02-040): As another Supernova, Hawkins benefits from Apoo clearing smaller threats, allowing Hawkins to attack more freely or to protect other characters. Apoo helps maintain board control for other impactful green characters.
💡 Pro Strategy Tip
Always consider Apoo's timing. Playing him to rest a blocker before declaring a crucial attack can ensure your high-power characters or leader connect. Alternatively, use him to rest a newly played character that could become a problem on your opponent's next turn, disrupting their tempo.
Apoo's effect is limited to characters with a cost of 2 or less. Focus on playing higher-cost characters to bypass his ability. Additionally, remove him quickly from the board before he can repeatedly clear your smaller blockers or tempo plays.
