Expert Analysis & Strategy
Strategic Overview
Ain (ST05-002) is a 4-cost, 5000 power Character whose key effect is to [On Play] Add up to 1 DON!! card from your DON!! deck and rest it. This effect is vital for Purple decks, which frequently rely on accelerating their DON!! curve to play high-cost Characters and activate powerful abilities ahead of schedule. While the DON!! is rested, it still contributes to your overall DON!! count, enabling plays a turn earlier than usual. Her 5000 power is standard for her cost, but she lacks a counter.
Key Strategic Synergies
- • DON!!-hungry Leaders/Characters: Purple decks like Kaido (ST04-001 Leader) or Eustass "Captain" Kid (ST05-001 Leader) heavily rely on quickly accumulating DON!! to activate their abilities or play high-cost threats, making Ain a good enabler.
- • High-Cost Purple Characters: Cards like Ulti (OP01-094) or Kaido (OP04-094) benefit from earlier play, which Ain facilitates by increasing your DON!! count.
- • Film Type Support: Her "Film" tag could become more relevant for specific archetypes, although her primary value is her DON!! ramp.
💡 Pro Strategy Tip
Play Ain early to accelerate your DON!! curve, especially when you have a powerful 7-cost or 8-cost Character you want to play a turn ahead of schedule. She's a good setup for subsequent turns, not necessarily for immediate tempo.
