He can become an 11,000 vanguard with Swordsman of Light, Blaster Rapier Laura’s skill. Laura’s skill does not interfere with the Stride skill. Alfred’s power can be 11,000, but his original power is 10,000. Alfred can exploit this ability without giving a defensive disadvantage to you.
However, Rain Element, Madew does have a major setback. He does not have a skill to enhance your field or weaken your opponent’s field. Your G-Unit does not pose a threat if the attack hits. No abilities from a vanguard will be online. Rear-guards with skills are the only solution to the lack of effective ability from Madew. Your rear-guards are solely relying on your vanguard’s names. They can be effective if your vanguard has the proper name.
Overall, Rain Element, Madew is a good card to play with slightly weaker vanguards. You are able to maintain your cards in your hand. He helps you maintain cards in your hand to defend your vanguard on your next turn. Madew’s only setback is his lack of an ability to affect the field. You cannot gain advantage by retiring opposing rear-guards, powering up rear-guards, or superior calling units. You rely on his two names to assist your rear-guards. Stride your vanguard into limitless possibilities with Rain Element, Madew!
