Greetings Mahokenshi! We are very excited to announce that the Mahokenshi demo returns during the Tacticon Steam event (Sept 22-26)! In the demo, you will be able to play as Kaito for the first time ever. The Mahokenshi from the House of Sapphire is sturdy and powerful, charging at his enemies like an unstoppable juggernaut. [previewyoutube=gR41SByOtwM;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Playstyle[/h2] As this is the first time Kaito is playable, let's talk about his playstyle for a bit. Unlike the other Mahokenshi, Kaito prefers being surrounded by his opponents. Although he has multiple deck archetypes and synergies, most of them revolve around stacking defense. [h3]Spikes[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047355/b94f9029c650fc46c6568fcf6b31c8b7abe59160.gif[/img] The best offense is a good defense. Kaito can stack [b]Spikes[/b], icy thorns that hurt enemy attackers, even from afar! [h3]Charge[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047355/63539f8a951f15c46d524f2fc996b1bd24bb4a52.png[/img] Kaito does not dash like other Mahokenshi. Instead, his primary movement option is to [b]Charge[/b] towards his opponent. A Charge will allow Kaito to take the shortest possible path to his enemy, even dashing across water. [h3]First Strike / Prepared[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047355/ee57ecc6d21bc7cc5bde5d10603854f3bdae3eeb.png[/img] Some of Kaito's cards will have [b]First Strike[/b] and [b]Prepared[/b] effects. These cards will have different effects depending on when you play them within your turn, forcing you to think carefully about the order in which you play them. [h3]Provoke[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047355/45654880466b72a5f5614edbe8542853cb5b8100.gif[/img] Charging isn't the only way to get close to enemies. With his [b]Provoke[/b] cards, Kaito can force enemies to move into striking distance.
