Strategic Overview

Perona (OP06-021) is a powerhouse dual-color Leader that perfectly captures the synergy between Green's board-resting capabilities and Black's cost-reduction mechanics. Her versatility allows players to adapt to any board state: either by forcing a critical blocker to rest or by lowering the cost of a threat to bring it into range of Black's K.O. effects. This dual-threat nature makes her one of the most consistent control Leaders in the meta.

Optimal Perona play involves meticulous sequencing. By using her ability to reduce cost, she enables high-value removal characters like Ryuma or Gecko Moria to clear the board without over-extending resources. In matchups where the opponent relies on active-state protection, her resting ability simply bypasses their defenses, allowing for a focused aggressive push.

Key Strategic Synergies

• Ryuma (OP06-036): The perfect partner; Perona reduces the cost, and Ryuma K.O.s the rested target.
• Gecko Moria (OP06-086): Provides the recursion necessary to maintain board pressure through the late game.
• Brook (OP06-092): Further cost reduction that stacks with Perona to handle even the largest boss monsters.
