Star Breaker (スターブレイカー Sutābureikā), also known as Reika by the community, is one of the playable characters in 100% Orange Juice!. She was added to the game in DLC 7 alongside . Star Breaker originates from the game Sora in which she was the main antagonist.
Passive[edit source]
Can only choose Wins Norma. (Chosen automatically when the player lands on a 
Home panel)
Overview[edit source]
As her name and passive imply, Star Breaker is designed to steamroll opponents through brute force with a heavily buffed attack stat. While similar to and , Star Breaker features a very high attack stat with no defense or recovery drawbacks and decent health stat for a bully character. As a result, of her passive, Star Breaker plays slightly different than other bullies. As stars are completely useless to Star Breaker since she can't use them to norma, the player can have a complete disregard for the amount of stars they have and spend them in any way they choose. The player should spend the entire game assaulting other players at every chance they have and focus fully on 
Encounter panels when they are unable to reach an opponent. This makes the field event particularly helpful to Star Breaker as well. Cards like 
Piyopiyo Procession and 
Assault can help bring in much needed KOs as the game progress, and provide Star Breaker potentially weaker opponents to pick off. It may also be in the best interest of the player to bring cards like 
Dark Side of Business to prevent opponents from reaching their next norma. She also benefits from a powerful Hyper that can reduce an opponent's health to 1, however, the card is inconsistent and may yield little reward to the player depending on the opponent and the player's luck.
While possessing a rather infamous reputation for being "OP" by newer players, Star Breaker has multiple weaknesses stemming from her passive, which substantially lower her odds of winning a match. Her powerful passive forces the player to always choose wins norma (her first norma is also 1 KO, not 10 stars) which is a large hindrance to her overall gameplay. Star Breaker faces a race against the norma clock since wins do not generate themselves like stars. If the player has not KO'd at least 8 opponents by norma 4, the game will likely be over for Star Breaker, as bosses and opponent's Hypers will cripple the player's wins progress. Likewise, if the player is unfortunate enough to be against , both his passive and generally carried cards like 
Oh My Friend and 
Overseer will make it almost impossible for the player to find easy KOs or have any chance at winning. Star Breaker will also face an uphill battle on certain fields. Small boards like Vortex and Warefare give her less walk time to attack other characters and multiple Encounter panels to feed her wins, however, large boards like White Winter give opponents lots of space to get away from Star Breaker. In the end, Star Breaker's success is highly dependent on how well she rolls and how poorly the opponent rolls. If the player cannot roll well and KO other opponents in a timely fashion, they are more or less doomed to lose the match.
By default, Star Breaker should aim for the wins norma and play aggressively at every turn whenever the opportunity presents itself. If the player is having particularly good RNG and rolls a string of 5-6s, Star Breaker can quickly crush opponents with her +2 attack in the early game. The player's main goal should be to get wins and slow the star collecting progress of other opponents if possible. The more wins the player can amass before norma 4, the higher the player's odds of winning in the late game will be. Her Hyper may also aid the player in the late game as well if RNG is permitting.

Star Breaker's hyper is Star Blasting Fuse. When the Hyper is used, it causes 3 to 5 Invisible Bomb to be placed randomly on the field. Landing on an Invisible Bomb will reduce the player's health to 1. The player who activated the card cannot be affected by the trap cards and is the only player who can see the locations of the bombs.
Strategy[edit source]
Star Blasting Fuse is a relatively inconsistent hyper similar to 's Hyper and the field event, . When activated, the resulting Invisible Bomb become an unseen hazard to any player unfortunate enough to land on a panel with the trap on it. The main advantage of this Hyper is that it affords Star Breaker an excellent opportunity to KO an opponent while they're at their most vulnerable at 1 health. As a result, it can be extremely effective against high health and tank characters such as . While the Hyper itself is quite expensive for most characters at the price of 30 stars, the price is advantageous for Star Breaker as it will enable her to deplete her star count if she is near being KO'd. Also, since she cannot complete Star Norma, the Hyper is essentially free for use as long as she has enough stars, and there is little reason to hold onto the card for very long.
Perhaps the best aspect to the Hyper, however, is the way it deals damage. Similar to a KO effect, the Hyper sets the opponent's health to 1, which means the effect will counter through the health increase of 
Dance, Long-Eared Beasts! and still decrease the opponent's health, even if they are using 
Solid Witch.
Tips[edit source]
- Playing As Star Breaker
- Since Star Breaker can't use stars as a win condition, try to prioritize
Encounter panels early. Once a player hits their fourth norma check, the 
Boss panels show up, and it will substantially more difficult to get wins until the boss is defeated. - Cards that can reduce other players star totals, such as
Flip Out, 
Unlucky Charm and 
Scary Solicitation, help slow down star progression for other players since gaining stars isn't as important. Dark Side of Business can steal massive amounts of stars from a player that's marginally ahead of the others because of Star Breaker's base stats. 
Gentleman's Battle, Piyopiyo Procession and Assault allow Star Breaker to easily engage in battle, which she needs to do because she is so heavily reliant on wins. 
Party Time can create chaos and give some wins depending on the turn order.- Along with the previous tip,
Lonely Chariot, 
Dash! and 
Windy Enchantment increase movement to close the gap for more combat opportunities. 
Lost Child and 
Ambush also allow creative alternatives to catch some players off-guard.
Pudding and 
Quick Restoration will keep HP topped off. Star Breaker has a recovery of 5, so staying healthy can prevent being KO'd and therefore reduce turns wasted on revival.
Constant bullying may not be the best approach. 4-5 HP characters even with +0 defense can live your shots with ease and do damage back to you. With this in-mind, ingoring players with more than 3 HP can be better. Lower this to 2 HP if they have +1 HP. Focus on encounter panels instead.
Avoid getting to to your 4th norma check until someone else has. You want to farm encounter panels as much as possible before the boss shows up and disrupts your tempo. It also may be a good idea to bully the boss so it does quicker.
- Playing Against Star Breaker
- Summoning the boss with Oh My Friend stops Star Breaker from getting easy wins from Encounter panels. can also use Overseer to accomplish the same goal.
- Surviving combat against Star Breaker is very important, because unlike Encounter panels, players give two wins upon defeat. Characters with high defensive stats and cards such as
Tactical Retreat and 
Shield will drastically reduce the chances of being KO'd. Warping with 
Here and There will sometimes create distance as well. - Be wary that
Shield Counter won't be able to one-shot Star Breaker if she has 
Super All-Out Mode or 
I'm on Fire! activated. However, it will still end combat. - Since Star Breaker's bombs count as traps once they're set,
Star-Blasting Light can wipe the bombs off the board and do a lot of damage to her.
