Old Man Rom

Description

Old Man Rom (RZ/S46-E012) is a distinct Character card within the Weiß Schwarz trading card game, released as part of the 2018 Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- set. Identified by the set code RZ/S46, this Uncommon (U) rarity card brings specific strategic interactions to the table for players who build around the Felt character archetype. As a Weapon and Titan subtype, Rom offers unique tactical options that differentiate him from standard character cards in the game. The card’s design centers on conditional synergy. To fully utilize Old Man Rom’s capabilities, players must ensure they do not have another character with "Felt" in its name on the field during the stand phase, as this restriction prevents him from standing otherwise. Once on stage, however, he becomes a powerful support piece. If a Felt character is already present, placing Rom from the hand grants that character a temporary +2000 power boost. Furthermore, Rom provides crucial defensive utility; by sacrificing himself to the waiting room, he can trigger an effect that adds +2500 power to another character under frontal attack. This makes him a valuable resource for protecting key pieces during intense battles. Collectors of the Re:ZERO series appreciate Old Man Rom not just for his gameplay utility but for his representation of the series’ diverse cast. The card’s flavor text, hinting at the character’s mysterious nature, adds depth to the lore integration found in the Weiß Schwarz product line. For hobbyists looking to complete their Re:ZERO collection or enhance their deck-building strategies, this card serves as a critical component for any Felt-focused engine. Its ability to pivot between offensive support and defensive rescue makes it a versatile addition to the catalog of Re:ZERO trading cards.
