Expert Analysis & Strategy
Strategic Overview
Hody Jones (OP06-020) is a high-pressure Green Leader that specializes in tempo disruption and board control. His [Activate:Main] ability allows him to rest an opponent's DON!! or a low-cost character (3 or less) by simply resting himself. This is an incredibly powerful tool for freezing an opponent's resources, preventing them from using counter-events or establishing searchers.
The restriction—not being able to add life cards to your hand via your own effects—is a calculated trade-off. Hody is designed for an aggressive "New Fish-Man Pirates" tribal build that aims to end the game before its own self-inflicted damage becomes a liability. He dictates the pace of the game, forcing the opponent to play with restricted DON!! while his fish-man army swarms the field.
Key Strategic Synergies
- Hody Jones (OP06-035): The character version of Hody completes the lockdown strategy, resting even larger blockers.
- Camie (OP06-025): The primary searcher that keeps your hand full of the "New Fish-Man Pirates" needed to swarm the board.
- Daruma (OP06-029): Gains massive power and restands himself, benefiting from Hody's ability to clear blockers.
Pro Strategy Tip: Use Hody's effect to rest an opponent's active DON!! early in their turn if they are playing a deck heavy on counter-events like Blue or Yellow. This effectively silences their defensive options for your biggest swings.
