Getting the Holy Sword, Kirito

Description

The 2017 release SAO/S47-E080 from the Weiss Schwarz Sword Art Online Re: Edit series presents the character Kirito as a Character card with Avatar and Weapon subtypes. This R-rated card, identified by the code SAO/S47, offers specific strategic interactions that define its role in gameplay. The printed rules text outlines two continuous effects: one that reduces the card's level by one while in the hand if the waiting room contains two or fewer climax cards, and another that grants +500 power for each other Avatar or Net character on the stage during the opponent's turn. An additional auto effect triggers when the card is placed on the stage from the hand, allowing the player to draw up to two cards and discard one hand card to the waiting room. These mechanics encourage players to manage their hand resources and stage presence effectively. The flavor text reflects the character's personal stake in the moment, adding narrative depth to the card's identity. The card number SAO/S47-E080 places it within the base checklist of the expansion, making it a standard yet functional piece for decks built around these themes. Understanding these rules interactions is key to appreciating the card's design within the broader Weiss Schwarz ecosystem.
