Seagull/Strategy

Tips

Playing As Seagull

Seagull is best played as an opportunist rather than a bully. Even the meekest characters are capable of deadly retaliation if they survive due to Seagull's bad DEF, EVD, and HP. Because of this, he will want to obtain his Hyper early and often to ensure he can get a kill.

• Because Seagull is very Hyper reliant,  Passionate Research and  Nice Present are a must.  Princess's Privilege can also help him find Hypers late game if he is desperate.
• Seagull's Hyper combos extremely well with any offensive Battle card, such as  I'm on Fire!,  Big Magnum , or  Accel Hyper. The latter is perhaps best, as the DEF and HP costs of the former two respectively are proportionally very high for Seagull.
•  Heat 300% can soften up enemies for a kill, and Seagull's DEF is bad enough anyway that landing on it himself isn't the worst thing in the world.
•  Saki's Cookie heals one-third of Seagull's HP while having a negligible effect on less frail characters.
• If planning on using expensive Battle cards to secure kills,  President's Privilege may be worthwhile. It greatly reduces their cost and allows for  Jonathan Rush to be played on the same turn at a much cheaper cost.
•  Dash! is a double-edged sword. It does allow Seagull to catch up to weak enemies, but also allows other players to catch up to Seagull. Offensive characters like Yuki can take advantage of this to score easy wins off of Seagull.

Playing Against Seagull

Seagull's weak defensive stats make him susceptible to bullying. Offensive characters such as Sora or Star Breaker can take advantage of this, but even weaker characters can take him out if his HP is low.

•  Long-Distance Shot is a good source of chip damage, but be aware that Seagull can also use it to soften enemies up for a kill.
• Due to Seagull's passive,  Dark Side of Business is often the best way to take stars from him.
•  Self-Destruct will ruin a Jonathan's day. Not only does it counter  Jonathan Rush, but it also causes him to lose half of his stars, bypassing his passive.
•  Shield Counter and  Tactical Retreat are also good counters to  Jonathan Rush.
• Any method of depriving Seagull of his Hyper, such as  Flamethrower,  Brutal Prank,  Gift Exchange, or  Scrambled Eve, can be useful. The latter two can also circulate Seagull's Hyper into other character's hands, and most characters can make use of it.
