Expert Analysis

Strategic Overview

Arlong (OP06-023) is a disruptive mid-range character that serves as a cornerstone for "lockdown" strategies. His [On Play] ability is exceptionally unique, allowing you to silence an opponent's Leader for an entire turn. This is devastating against Leaders that rely on [When Attacking] effects or decks that need their Leader to clear small blockers to maintain tempo.

Furthermore, Arlong possesses a valuable [Trigger] that can rest a 4-cost or less character, potentially stopping a game-ending attack from your life cards. His 6000 power makes him a respectable attacker on his own, ensuring he isn't just a passive utility piece but a threat that must be addressed.

Key Strategic Synergies

  • Hody Jones (OP06-035): Creates a complete board lockdown when played in tandem with Hody's resting abilities.
  • Camie (OP06-025): Essential for searching Arlong out early to ensure you have the lockdown ready for the opponent's power turns.
  • Hyouzou (OP06-034): Complements the Fish-Man aggro theme by clearing the path that Arlong has already disrupted.

Pro Strategy Tip: Use Arlong on the turn your opponent reaches 10 DON!!—silencing their Leader can prevent them from utilizing powerful 10-cost Leader-attack combos.
