What's the purpose of boosting? To increase your power and put you in the winning position of course!
Each Digimon has its Power on the bottom of the card in the blue area. Alone, this Digimon (Shoutmon) fights for only 200 Power. If one of his comrades were to help him out in battle, you can add the other Digimon's Boost value (300) to have an even stronger total power of 500!
Pay the card cost(the number at the top of a card) of the card you are boosting with and turn the card side ways, under the battling Digimon and with the Power and Boost value of the two cards showing together.
The rulebook should have a photo of how the two cards should be stacked together.
Haha yeah 500 is weak, but now you get how boosts work.
Shoutmon is a decent boost card. For 0 cost, it gives 300 boost. Unlike other cards that might clutter your hand and only give 100 or even 0 boost such as fusions, Shoutmon gives a pretty good boost value for free.
Free is a big thing in this game when you've used up your hand playing a big Digimon or fusing, even defending yourself with a Digimemory. How much more hand can you afford to be paying for to boost? Thats where free comes in. Shoutmon isn't the strongest of boosters but it sure makes decisions easy on how you're gonna use your hand this turn.
Free is good. But what's this, these boost for an even stronger, 400 power!
If you are willing to play in these specific zones, you've earned a free 400 boost.
Shoutmon can work for any kind of deck, and some 0 cost cards have nice boost values, you'll see 300 boost on things like Monitamon which is another 0 cost card. If you have the 0 cost 300 boosters thats ok but there are better things.
Take a look at this Ballistamon! If you are playing many Fusion Fighters you can get 400 boost for 0 cost!
Again, Shoutmon's 300 boost is nice but those 300s aren't really built for boosting such as these cards are. Try focusing your boosts more on these cards and save the 300 ones as a last resort.
Ballistamon is a great card for playing a 0 cost boost and not having to give up your Code Crown as a specific zone just to not pay the boost costs.
For now this is the only boost themed card the Blue Flare team gets. It seems like a 1 cost card for 400 but while playing in the Lake Zone code crown blue has, it becomes a 0 cost 400 boost.
Almost very similar to the above Ballistamon card.
This little trickster.
The boost value is decent. The thing is, its effect is so scary, your opponent might just let you win the battle this turn so Archelomon doesn't end up in the Training Area. haha
This is a great boost card for any deck and great for early and mid game where you can afford to take a loss and send this guy to the Training Area.
Play these on their best friend Digimon and you'll get a boost even stronger then all the above cards for 0 cost! A few things to mention about the Starmons card, the name has been issued an errata to now be called Starmon & Pickmonz, which doesn't really matter. But what does matter is the effect because you should know, this card does work on all Shoutmon fusion cards too! All the Shoutmon + Starsword cards and Shoutmon X2,3,4 they all have Shoutmon in their names.
Boost while this Code Crown is active and you'll be majorly rewarded.
Now, what else can this Island do..
You get +100 power every time you boost this turn but how do you boost more then once?
Turtle power!
These two are a perfect combo. 600 boost for 1 cost and you still get to boost again!
Both the turtle and this Dorulucannon can trigger a double boost effect when they are used as the boost card but also while either is the Digimon in the battle area. Use them however you like and form your own double boosting strategies.
Beastmon's Castle is the perfect combination for the Dorulucannon. In the anime, this is not the location where the Dorulu fusion was used but hey it works and makes those Dorulucannons free for boosting!
Beastmon's castle changes everything you know about boosting. Now all the 1 cost cards become free and so much easier to play.
Suddenly this 1 cost Shoutmon becomes a
0 cost powerful 700 booster! what?!
Breaking out the biggest strongest boosters we have out right now.
Through their effects, they can both become a 1 cost for 800 boost.
Right now many Bagra army decks can make use of Angemon because red sure isn't going to use it when they can already get an 800 boost for a guaranteed 1 cost.
Red has 2 800 boost cards in a way.
These 800 boost cards are no joke, your Digimon will easily go into the 2000s in power on the turn you play these.
Cost reduction on your boosts is nice but don't forget if you reduce your costs too much, you won't be able to discard awesome cards like this who might get you some more Digimemories in your hand to keep on countering what your opponent throws at you.
Starmon!(& Pickmonz) !
This card is great in any deck. You can even fake the double boost, confuse your opponent!
A funny way to counter this card is if your opponent played this and is going to out boost you, play Leviamon on them as soon as they play this card. and.. thats all they'll be stuck with is a 300 boost.
Greed. ah nice
Training Area
If you're gonna lose this round and still have cards in your hand you might consider boosting just cause! Then you'll have more cards going into your Training Area and it'll be even easier to play the more expensive boost cards next turn.
This card.... ah..
Its not out yet :'D
enjoy the game while you can... in about 1 more week, this monster will be in everyone's decks.
So much rage quit. So much 2500 power as the norm in battles.
Don't quit the game when this card comes out. Your opponent will have to play Bagra. Just add some MarineAngemon to your deck , actually both MarineAngemon work.
One will drop your opponent's strong Bagra cards to 0 power, the other will just make this Bagra boost go away. Get creative and if people are paying $100 or whatever to have playsets of these, make em mad with MarineAngemon.
1000 boost is not that scary. Red already gets about 900 boost if they're playing in the Whalemon code crown. And if a Starmonz double booster was played, your opponent can play a 800 boost on top of that for pretty much 1100 boost. Thats even better then this Bagra card. Lord Bagra isn't that broken.
Stay strong. Let me know your favorite way to deal with this card when it comes out.
