[CONT](RC):This unit cannot be chosen by your opponent’s card effects.
Trickstar is a grade zero unit from Cardfight!! Vanguard overDress. He is a key card for the game’s mechanic of overDress. He appears to be a weak card with 5,000 power, but he has many forms with powerful effects.
Anime History:
Trickstar is Yu-yu Kondo’s avatar and the main unit of the deck. He debuts in episode two of Cardfight!! Vanguard overDress. Yu-yu plays Tricksstar during a game. Yu-yu Kondo places Varina on top of him to activate overDress, and Yu-yu wins the game!
D-Standard Format:
Trickstar is the key unit for the mechanics of overDress. This unit is the originaldress for many cards with the mechanic. You will place one of these units on top of him, and they gain special effect from overDress.
Ability:
Trickstar cannot be chosen by the opponent’s effects. This effect is critical to Trickstar’s success. You need to maintain this unit on the field. Trickstar is the originaldress for units with the ability of overDress.
Furthermore, you can call Trickstar to the back row before you activate overDress. An opponent could potentially attack him if you place him in the front row. Most cards are unable to attack him in this case.
In addition, this ability is a great strategy against Aurora Battle Princesses. They cannot imprison Trickstar with their abilities. Trickstar shuts down the Aurora Battle Princesses as long as you do not place a unit on top of him for overDress because that removes the advantage.
