Stern Blaukluger

Part of the tag team, Stern acts as your ideal ride target for the deck to get things going from the start with its 2 skills. The first which it shares with Galaxy gives all your G3 Blau units 10000 during your turn if G2 Blaukluger is in soul. At the end of the battle for a cost of discarding 2 cards 2 from your hand. it is able to bind a Galaxy Blaukluger anywhere on the rg and ride it as stand , giving you another Imaginary GIft and vanguard attack, albeit a drive -1. As this skill does not have a Counter-Blast or Soul-Blast attached to it , and thus can not be denied once a Galaxy Blaukluger is on a rearguard. This allows the resources to be allocated for the rest of the deck , keeping the deck as a whole rather flexible.

Galaxy Blaukluger

The “finisher” of the duo which further extends on the multiple attacks of the deck, when it attacks it is able to call a “Stern Blaukluger” from the soul to any rearguard circle for a CB1. it is good to note that you can call Stern to the newly generated Accel Marker as well.

When combined with Stern’s ability to superior ride Galaxy, this creates a chain of 4 attacks at minimum for an overall cost of CB1 and Discard 2, all of which hits for good numbers as both of them as both Grade 3s are able to gain 10000 so as long Blaukluger is in the soul. When paired with the multiple attack potential and other beaters in the clan. This creates a fast hitting combination attack that is very hard to play around.

Galaxy (RG) -> Stern (VG) to Superior Ride -> Galaxy (VG) to superior call -> Stern (RG)

It also has a last skill where it will call itself out if ridden by a Blau unit. Ideally this is meant to work with Stern as this will set up for Stern superior ride combo again.

Blaukluger

Just as important as the Grade 3s themselves, Blaukluger acts as the source of power that the Grade 3s work on and is a card you will want to see as early and soon as possible. As a card you want in soul at all times , It is your primary G2 ride target with the on ride ability to search the top 7 cards of the deck for any Blau unit for a Counter-Blast 1, helping you to search out for any piece you may need to guarantee Galaxy and Stern on your first ride.

It works well as a decent rearguard as well with the end of its battle skill to add itself to soul to draw 1 when you have a Blau Vanguard. The skill is useful to meet the Blau Grade 3s' skill when you draw into it a little later when you desperately need it

Blaupanzer & Blaujunger

The G1 of the Blau deck and has a skill very similar to “ride chains” of the past. When ridden on Blaujunger , it is able to search the top 5 cards of the deck for any Blau unit much like Blakluger for no cost at all.

As a rearguard its skill is crucial for the whole archetypes consistency. When placed on rear-guard by discarding a trigger unit, Blaupanzer is able to search the entire deck for any G3 Blau unit , adding more consistency to the strategy.

Being part of Nova Grappler gives Blau access to the ability to restand their rearguards for additional attacks. The most consistent way amongst the clan are the newer Cool Hank and Kick Kick Typhoon. This units can be used to restand Blaukluger units on the rearguard that gain the passive +10000 from the VG and possible drive triggers from the 3 checks that the deck gets during its power turns.

Cool Hank

When this unit attacks, you may discard 1 card, if you do restand 1. Compared to Kick Kick, Typhoon is really easy to use and works at most stages of the game. It also doubles as a secondary ride target at worst as it has a on hit effect on the VG to draw you a card.

Kick Kick Typhoon

When this unit is placed on an additional Rear-Guard Circle (Accel Circle), this unit gives +5000 to any unit on the field.

When this unit attacks and the front row is fully occupied, you can Counter-Blast 1 to re-stand 1. While it still works fine for the Blau deck, you do have to plan on how you set up your field if you plan to use Kick Kick after the Superior Ride Combo as it will generate a new Accel Circle.

Ideally you will want your front row to be filled with Blaukluger G3 units to make use of the passive power given by the vanguard. Having more options to fill up the Accel Circles with strong units to create a solid offense that can form magic numbers especially

This is especially relevant in match ups where your front row rearguards are prone to removal or in situations where you need to hit through damage triggers.

Ultra Beast Deity, Illuminal Dragon

While not a Blau unit, it still remains as Nova Grappler’s strongest standalone attacker, as it gains 15000 power when any of your attacks hits. When used in Blau and its ability to generate multiple circles this adds more opportunities for this to trigger.

Brutal Jack

A consistent 19000 power at the risk of not being able to stand it during your stand phase.

Stylish Hustler

A strong attacker that scales the more damage you have gaining +3000 per damage. To use it effectively, you will need an average of 3 damage. It also has a secondary effect which can help protect your field from removal which can make a strong contender if you expect a retire heavy metagame.

Vernal Cracker

An attacker that boosts based on the number of other rear-guards +3000

Of course, while it is nice to diversify your options, its also nice to have more ways to increase the consistency of the Blau combo outside of its 3 card combo.

Morgenrot

A Blau specific support card that is able to return a

G3 Blau unit from RG to the hand by retiring itself. Mainly its a way to add Stern Back into the hand to play the combo the following turn.

Extreme Battler, Arashid

With the decks reliant on its Grade 3s to push for Arashid can check top 5 for a grade 3 and add to hand, then if added, discard 1.

Halo of Bonds, Solidar Bangle

This order card by putting 1 card into hand into soul allows you to look at top 3 to add one to hand. You may also put Blaukluger into soul setting up for the rest of the match.

Brute the Beast

By paying the cost of Counter-Blast 2, this card can superior call any G3 from deck which guarantees having the missing piece you need on the field for the deck. While not really cost effective , sometimes its the only way to get out the pieces in time.
