Fernet is a defensive tank and one of the hardest characters to KO in the game. Her high defense and health make hanging on to stars an easy task. While great at reducing damage, she has a very hard time avoiding it and must rely on healing in order to survive repeated attacks or out-of-combat damage. Her hyper Air Strike deals a small, random amount of damage to each enemy unit and rewards you with stars if you manage to get any KOs with it.




Play Fernet if:

• You value survivability above all else.
  
• You prefer a defensive playstyle.
  
• You prefer consistency over play-making potential.

Pros

• Extremely durable thanks to massive HP and DEF.
  
• Even small amounts of healing are very good for her.
  
• Hard to topple once she gets ahead.
  
• Does not fear the bosses as much as other characters.

Cons

• Low ATK and EVD discourage fighting.
  
• Can not deal with evasive characters.
  
• Hard to catch up to or topple someone who is snowballing.
  
• Vulnerable to being whittled down by damage in and out of combat.
  
• Air Strike is expensive and very situational.
  
• Repetitive playstyle with low interaction.

HP: 6 | ATK: -1 | DEF: +2 | EVD: -2 | REC: 5

Fernet has amazing defensive stats, boating above average health and very high defense. She can easily tank hits from attackers and bullies alike. If someone does manage to take her down, she won't be down for too long thanks to her respectable 5 REC. Her two negative stats serve as her glaring weaknesses however. Fernet's -2 EVD makes avoiding damage very difficult, even impossible, in situations where most characters would get an easy dodge. Prolonged fighting and out of combat damage like Mimyuu's Hammer will wear her down over time. This combined with her weak attacks make it difficult for Fernet to deal with players that are attacking her without battle cards or lucky rolls. Evasive characters like Suguri especially give her a hard time as they can dance around her flimsy strikes while repeatedly attacking her to whittle her health down. A Fernet at 1 HP is a doomed Fernet, as your dodge can only save you from a 3 or lower, and doing so will take a miracle.

Air Strike

Type: Event
Level Requirement: 3
Cost: 30 stars

Every unit except you receives 1-3 damage. Gain 15 stars for every KO.

That's a pretty neat hyper card. Too bad It doesn't really synergize with Fernet. Each enemy unit takes 1-3 damage at random. The damage is calculated separately, so each unit could take different amounts of damage. Unfortunately, the high cost limits the number of times you can use it without setting yourself back, so carpet bombing the board is usually out of the question. You will need to get at least 2 KOs with this to make up the cost, but sometimes the threat of KO by battle afterwards makes this worth playing as well. President's Privilege can help you play it more often and Mimic can be used if one of your opponents has something more generally useful like Hyper Mode or Plushie Master.

Fernet's game plan is more or less the same throughout the whole game. Collect stars, stay alive, and avoid combat when possible. Bonus panels are your number 1 priority throughout the game. Otherwise, try to draw cards and avoid battle and drop spaces. Drop spaces should be avoided as much as possible, but it's OK to land on battle spaces to avoid drops or take a specific route. Doing so repeatedly will put you at risk of being KOed for not much reward, but Fernet's bulk makes it difficult for the NPCs to deal more than a scratch. Speaking of battles, avoid combat with players in all but the following situations:

1) Their health is very low and they won't put up much of a fight.
Fernet isn't built for combat, but if someone is at 1 HP right in front of you and has a low EVD stat then go for it.

2) Not fighting would put you in front of an offense character or multiple characters.
Having an offensive character behind you means that they will be free to attack you each turn provided that they can keep up with you. Attacking someone like Suguri might seem like a bad idea, but you aren't trying to get a KO or even do damage, you are eating an attack so that you will be less likely to be attacked in the future.

3) They are standing on a space that is significantly better than the one you would land on.
I would only go for 2x bonus and home bases for this unless you are avoiding a drop or bad warp. Home bases are especially good as they will heal back a little of the damage that you would take from the fight.

4) They are about to win.
If your health is low and you would rather lose and keep your stars maybe not, but otherwise you might as well try to get a god roll to stop them.


Fernet's huge defenses make surviving boss encounters trivial at high health. That being said, you should still avoid boss panels so that you don't take more damage than necessary. Fernet benefits from the boss being around not by frighting it, but by the problems it causes for your opponents. Much of the cast risks being one-shot every time they fight the boss, and win farmers cannot get wins from NPC battles until the boss is dealt with. Because of this, you may want to consider bringing Oh My Friend to inconvenience them even more.

I use letter ranks to rate cards. Cards are sorted by type, then alphabetically within each tier. This is by no means an absolute measure of how powerful each card is. Feel free to use any cards you want to fit your strategy, although I advise against bringing F cards. When it comes down to it, play what you think will be the most fun for you.

S: Necessary. Godlike synergy or required for the character to function. (Note: Not every character has one of these.)

A: Powerful. A high priority card that will usually be in your deck.

B: Very Good. Not necessary, but should always be considered.

C: Average. Nice cards to have, but might be outclassed. Also includes situational cards.

D: Poor. Helps your opponents more than it helps you.

F: Awful. You are actively hurting yourself by bringing these cards.

(None)
Fernet's cards depend on whether she is going for a more defensive or controlling playstyle. Healing in general could be considered an S, but which cards you bring to do so are up to you.

1x Extend
1x Nice Jingle
1x Nice Present
2x Saki's Cookie
1x Stiff Crystal
2x Dinner
2x Here and There

Good news! Fernet can easily build an effective deck doesn't require any DLC cards! This deck goes all in on survivability with plenty of healing and a couple warp effects to keep you alive as long as possible.




1x Mimic
2x Saki's Cookie
1x Here and There
1x Oh My Friend
3x Bad Pudding
2x Brutal Prank

This deck aims to control your opponents via traps, events, and discard effects. Bad Pudding and Brutal Prank will throw a wrench in your opponents' plans. You don't even have t be the one to play them! Oh My Friend will make it tough for opponents to get wins as well. Since Air Strike isn't great with this setup, we run Mimic in case an opponent has a better hyper to use. The rest of the cards will help you stay alive amidst the chaos.




1x Extend
1x Mimic
1x Nice Present
1x Passionate Research
2x President's Privilege
3x Mimyuu's Hammer
1x Piggy Bank

For the sucker innovator who wants to use Air Strike as much as possible. President's Privilege is essential here, as Air Strike does not give any wins from KOs and costs too many stars to play often and still win. Mimyuu's Hammer is also played to poke players down over Long-Distance Shot or Cloud of Seagulls due to their cost and randomness respectively.

Fernet's reduced attack rolls make it extremely easy for these characters to avoid taking damage. Because of this, evasive characters will see you as easy prey and even less combat-focused characters like Aru may try to take advantage of you. They will wear you down while avoiding your counterattacks and take you out quite easily. Ceoreparque is particularly dangerous due to her passive damaging you whenever you miss her. All you can do is hope for a lucky roll or escape using a warp panel. Oh My Friend causes all sorts of problems for these characters that you barely have to worry about and Accel Hyper and Reverse-Attribute Field can help you get a surprise KO on them.




Anyone with a non-negative attack stat and a dream is going to consider you an easy target. Although your defense will prove them wrong, they will invest a lot of resources into taking you down, especially if you are pulling ahead. Try to keep yourself from getting low and don't be afraid to warp to get away if they won't quit.




Arthur has a massive HP stat and can collect stars much faster than you once he gets some Rbit Hobby Shops on the board. These traps allow him to steal stars from other players in exchange for letting them draw a card from the deck and earn him extra stars from all sources. Cover up his shops with trap cards if you have to land on them. Hope he draws poorly or else you will be overtaken quickly.




Although Suguri and Tsih will be out to KO you, Aru is just as dangerous a foe to encounter. Both versions have a way to collect stars faster than you while being particularly hard for you to stop if they pull ahead. Regular Aru is the more dangerous of the two due to the high amount of stars and cards she can obtain thanks to Present For You, but Scramble still has a huge advantage over you if she manages to draw her hyper Santa's Job. Accel Hyper, Sky Restaurant 'Pures', and Oh My Friend are your best tools for catching up if your other opponents aren't trying to KO her.




This little clucker just won't stay down. While it's HP and DEF are low, it's +1 EVD makes it hard for you to land a hit. Even if you do manage to KO it, Chicken loses half as many stars as most other characters and gets right back up within a turn or two. It's hyper Golden Egg is an extremely dangerous trap for you, as the next three bonus panels you land on will be counted as drop panels instead. Hope RNGsus gives you some bad rolls, because the next few turns will set you back immensely.




While her hyper lacks the consistency that Marc's does, Iru has a dangerous passive that will allow her to take you down way faster than her stats would lead you to believe. Whenever she initiates an attack on a player, Iru gets a free point of damage in before the battle in exchange for attacking second. You will be taking damage twice as fast in fights against Iru. Keep your distance though, and she shouldn't be too much of a problem. Your high health makes it hard for her to get KOs with Extended Photon Rifle, so as long as you keep healed, you are messing up her game. If you do end up behind her, you may want to initiate combat so you can stay there and she can't ping you with her passive.




Marc has the stats to take you on, but her low health means that she cannot hope to outlast you if you are properly healed. Unfortunately, her hyper x16 Big Rocket is great at taking chunks out of your health to put you two on an even battleground. She even synergizes with many of the same cards as you. Marc loves to be healed, and every President's Privilege's that you bring will only help her bomb you more often. A controlling deck with Brutal Prank will help in this matchup, but the best thing you can do is to stay away from her. If she can't follow up a rocket with a KO, she will be more likely to use it to farm wins instead, which doesn't set you back as much.




Poppo can't do squat to stop you without her hyper, but that alone is plenty reason to fear her. Ubiquitous allows her to warp to you for free and steal stars from you based on your level. She can use it to deny you normas or to steal the game if you happen to stop in front of her base. The worst part is that you can't do much to stop her if she gets ahead, thanks to her high health. Use Air Strike with President's Privilege to wear her down and hope that her squishiness attracts the ire of the other players. Oh My Friend and discard effects can help you in this matchup. Try not to KO her outside of battle or else she basically gets a free heal.




This version of Suguri not only has the evasion to dodge your attacks all day long, but she also has an arsenal of out-of-combat damage effects that she will add to the deck. Suguri (46BY) has a passive ability that allows her to double the damage of cards like Long-Distance Shot, allowing her to chunk your heat out of nowhere. Her hyper Observer of Eternity summons two damage dealing cards for her to use, including other character's hypers like Extended Photon Rifle, x16 Big Rocket, or even your Air Strike! This character is by far the the most dangerous character you can face. Stay away and hope you don't draw her ire.




Beware this fickle maiden, as she is just as likely to KO you as she is to heal you for profit. Both of Yuuki's modes stand to benefit from having you in the game. On even turns, Yuuki can use Devil Hand to potentially drop you to 1 HP. Although she can't aim it, it can be devastating if she happens to hit you with it then follow up with a KO. On odd turns, Yuuki takes the stats of a tank and her hyper is replaced with Angel Hand. This card heals the unit of her choice to full health. The kicker is that both cards reward her with stars for each HP lost/healed, making Fernet a prime target with her 6 base HP. Priorities depend on the player and can change at any time, so always keep your guard up against this character.

Fernet makes for a great defensive choice in co-op, serving as a anchor for her team and keeping them from getting wiped. While a decent choice for most of the bosses, Star Devourerer will give Fernet a lot of trouble due to the extra damage from its passive. Fernet's high defense can't block this damage and she doesn't have a hope of dodging it. Out-of-combat damage like the M10 Robot's Robo Beam can also cause problems for her.

Defender and support are by far her best roles. Avenger is cheesy, but does work if she is properly supported thanks to her ability to control the amount of damage she takes. Attacker is not recommended unless you are trying to be goofy.
