Saki (sah-key) is one of the playable characters in 100% Orange Juice!. She was added to the game in DLC 2 alongside Kyousuke.

Overview

Saki is a relatively balanced character with a neutral attack and defense stats. With her below average health stats and lack of defensive buffs, she should spend her time avoiding confrontations with other players or  Encounter panels and instead focus on acquiring stars and preserving health. If combat should occur, however, her slightly increased evasion stat can help her avoid weaker attacks but is not a guaranteed method for survival. Similar to Alte, most of Saki's strength comes from her Hyper and as a result, the player should focus on reaching Norma level 3 and landing on either  Bonus or  Draw panels to secure a Hyper and the stars necessary to level up.

The main downside to Saki is that while she is not weak in the traditional sense, her survivability is generally not very good. Without any defense boost and only a slightly increased evasion stat, she does not have the evasion power of Suguri or the added preservation of Sham to support her low health stat. Saki's other disadvantage is her reliance on her Hyper card. If the player is unable to draw Saki's Hyper, they will likely be unable to stop an opponent with more stars.

Hyper

Saki's Hyper is Big Bang Bell. Big Bang Bell is a trap that is set on the user's current panel. When landed on by any character including the player, it will deals 2 damage plus and additional +1 per every 2 chapters that have passed since it was originally set. The damage will affect the player who landed on it and all players within 2 adjacent board panels (this includes diagonally). If any player is KO'd, half of their stars are given to the player who set the Hyper. (KOs by the Hyper's effect do not count as wins)

Hyper Strategy

Big Bang Bell is one of the best trap cards in the game, dealing massive punishment to opponents and potentially high gain for the player, all for the low price of 0 stars. The player also has the added bonus of being immune to the trap themselves as they will simply regain their own stars. As a result of this, the Hyper is relatively safe to drop on any panel, and the player should prioritize placing it as soon as possible to allow the damage output to grow. The Hyper is also potentially the most damaging card in the game with a theoretically infinite damage output.

As a trap, the Big Bang Bell has a variety of uses, and similar to  Self-Destruct has the advantage of creating unease and uncertainty among opponents as any trap set by Saki could be her Hyper. As to be expected, one of the most popular ways the Hyper is generally at it's best when set on an opponent's  Home panel as not only can it deny an opponent from attempting to win the game, but it can also stop both Wins and Star Norma by KOing the opponent. In contrast, it may be smarter to leave Big Bang Bell on a lesser-traveled path to catch opponents by surprise in the late game. It is best to let the bell gain damage and then influence players to take the path where the trap is by placing more traps on the opposing pathway. Field events like MinelayerMinelayer
Every 3 Chapters, a Trap Card will be set on a randomly determined panel. These Trap Cards are not affiliated with the Center Deck, and will therefore not return to the Center Deck afterwards. The cards include: Dangerous Pudding, Bad Pudding, and Mimyuu's Hammer can quickly make opponents forget about the Hyper's location if it was set randomly, and cards like  We Are Waruda can quickly make the trap's location confusing. Big Bang Bell also works well in decks with  Piggy Bank considering that both take time to charge. This occasionally leads to players stepping on well-charged Big Bang Bells thinking they are well-charged Piggy Banks, especially if the player set the Hyper on their own  Home.

The Hyper is not without its disadvantages though. As a trap card, Big Bang Bell is directly countered by  Stiff Crystal and  Star-Blasting Light, as well as indirectly countered by  We Are Waruda if the opponent gets the card. Like all traps, the Hyper is also opponent-reliant, making it rather unreliable, and while this can make the Hyper extremely strong, it will be for not if the opponent misses it. The player will also not be able to start using the Hyper until Norma 3, which gives the Hyper a late start unless  Price of Power is used. Some opponents will also purposely head toward their  Home panel as quickly as possible if they believe the player set Big Bang Bell on it. By doing this, they will activate it before it's damage output becomes lethal, thus countering its star loss effect.

Tips

Playing As Saki

• Generally a deck full of trap cards is advisable for Saki to further confuse opponents. Traps like  Sky Restaurant 'Pures',  Go Away, and  Piggy Bank can be used to scare opponents and add unpredicatbility.
• The  Price of Power can work well with Saki's Hyper as the player will be able to start using her Hyper at Norma level 2 instead of the usual 3.

Playing Against Saki

• With Saki's low health stat and sole reliance on her evasion, most battle cards are the best counters to Saki as they will not improve her combat ability much and will help the player KO her if she rolls poorly.
