Summer of UFOs, Iriya

Description

The 2024 Dengeki Bunko expansion from the Weiß Schwarz trading card game introduces Summer of UFOs, Iriya as a distinct character entry. Identified by the card number Giy/WS02-E130, this release is part of the broader Dengeki Bunko series, which integrates popular light novel properties into the strategic gameplay framework. Collectors who follow the Weiß Schwarz ecosystem often seek out specific character cards like this one to build cohesive decks that leverage their unique abilities. Iriya is classified as a Character card with subtypes Dengeki Bunko and Summer. The card’s strategic value comes from its printed rules text, which offers two separate abilities. The first is an AUTO effect that triggers when the card attacks. This ability grants the card power equal to 1000 multiplied by the number of other Dengeki Bunko characters the player controls. This scaling mechanic encourages players to build a board presence with multiple cards from the same subtype to maximize the power boost during combat. The second AUTO ability provides a recovery option. When Iriya becomes REVERSE in battle, the player may pay a cost of discarding one card from their hand to the waiting room and sending Iriya to the memory. If this cost is paid, the player can look at up to two cards from the top of their deck. They may then choose one of those cards to add to their hand, while the remaining cards are moved to the waiting room. This mechanic allows for deck thinning and card advantage, providing a tactical reset after a lost battle. Whether you are a long-time fan of the Dengeki Bunko series or new to Weiß Schwarz, this card offers a blend of scaling power and resource recovery that fits into many strategic approaches.
