△ As Gundam
Don't let your opponent get close. Stay cool, watch their movement, and use your long-range attacks to push them back. Time your counters well, don't be too hasty early on, and wait for a chance to unlease an Awakening or finisher. Until then, just keep poking away!
[Useful card: Haro]
Power up your long-range attacks at the start of a battle!

◎ As Ultraman
When taking on a Rider, you need to take advantage of your powerful charge attacks. Even if you have to eat a combo to land one, it's often a favorable trade. Your special followups and SP crush give you the upper hand. On the other hand, sometimes it's best to guard instead.
[Useful card: Ship of the line Brigante]
Combine with dash charge attacks for maximum effect!

△ As Masked Rider
Focus on pulling off combos, but don't get greedy and end up being hit with a charge attack. A counterattacking style based around narrow dodges and jump attacks can be effective too. Later in the match, an SP crush-based combo can give you victory.

Use your SP crush anytime!
