Red Shanks: The Late-Game Powerhouse
Red Shanks has solidified itself as one of the strongest Leaders in the OP09 meta, proving its dominance in competitive play. With a unique defensive ability, this Leader slows down your opponent’s momentum and keeps you in control, setting you up for a game-winning finish.
Shanks’s ability activates during your opponent’s turn, reducing their Leader or Character’s Power by -1,000 when they attack. Think of it as a free +1,000 Counter every turn, helping you shut down key attacks while conserving valuable resources.
By strategically using this effect throughout the game, you protect your Leader and rested Characters without burning through your hand. This resource advantage becomes crucial in the late game, allowing you to unleash your full strength when it matters most.
If you’re looking for a Leader built for endurance and calculated victories, Red Shanks is your answer.
