Expert Analysis
Strategic Overview
Sugar (OP14-063) is a core utility and tempo engine for Purple Donquixote Pirates. Her [On Play] effect provides immediate ramp by setting a new DON!! card to active, essentially making her a 3-cost play in terms of available DON!! for the turn. This allows for aggressive sequences where you drop Sugar and still have DON!! open for counter events or additional searchers.
Her [On K.O.] effect is even more dangerous: if the opponent has built their resources (6+ DON!!), she "floats" into any 5-cost Donquixote Pirates character from your hand. This forces a terrifying dilemma on the opponent: leave the 1000 power searcher/ramper on the board, or K.O. her only to have a 7000 power Vergo or Diamante immediately take her place.
Key Strategic Synergies
- Vergo (OP14-061): The best target to play from hand when Sugar is K.O.'d. Vergo hits the board for free and immediately starts protecting your other units.
- Doflamingo (OP14-060): The Leader can redirect attacks away from Sugar to keep her ramping, or redirect to her if you need to cheat out a 5-cost character during the opponent's turn.
- Diamante (OP14-066): Another powerful 5-cost target that can be played via Sugar's float effect to establish a massive blocker.
Pro Strategy Tip: Sugar is your Turn 2 priority. The extra active DON!! she provides is critical for keeping the Purple engine ahead of the curve, especially when setting up the Leader's redirection ability.
