Expert Analysis & Strategy
Strategic Overview
Arlong (OP06-023) is a specialized anti-meta character designed to stall the opponent's most consistent threat: their Leader. By trashing a card on play, Arlong can lock down a rested Leader, preventing them from attacking on the next turn. This is massive against decks that rely on their Leader for finishing damage, such as Whitebeard, Enel, or Zoro.
With a healthy 6000 power body for a 4-cost, Arlong stays relevant as an attacker even after his utility is spent. His [Trigger] is the icing on the cake, allowing him to rest a 4-cost character from life, which can save you from a lethal swing during the opponent's turn.
Key Strategic Synergies
- Hody Jones (Leader): As a Fish-Man, Arlong fits perfectly into the tribal synergy, benefiting from the lockdown and rest effects of the deck.
- Camie (OP06-025): Searchable consistency piece. Use Camie to find Arlong exactly when you need to stall a high-power Leader.
- Hyouzou (OP06-034): Further compounds the "Rest" strategy, allowing you to control both characters and the Leader.
Pro Strategy Tip: Arlong is a "reactive" play. Don't drop him on an active Leader. Use other rest effects first to force the Leader to rest (or wait for them to attack), then drop Arlong to freeze them in place for the next turn.
