Wonder Scale China Deck Guide!
hi guys! it's been a hot minute but i'm finally back with my next guide as promised ^_^
as always, i can't take full credit for my game knowledge, because i wouldn't be here if it weren't for the gakumas masterdoc that i always link. it's a hefty one, but it's the best guide out there for general game knowledge. i just apply the things i learned there + some tips i've gathered from other fans when i make these guides!
all set? let's go under the cut again.
just like kamurogiku kotone, wonder scale china's deck is motivation (✊) focused. that means, luckily for you chinaPs, she is one of the easiest to get to A+/S range once you get the hang of her deck! i got her to A+ on my first attempt once i had a good grasp of what to do. (if you want tips, feel free to ask me! i'll relay anything i've learned from the gakumas fans in the official discord to y'all. :) )
let's get her personal item and skill card covered first though, shall we?
alright. china's personal item gives you an additional 3 motivation (✊) stacks the first two times a skill card gives you motivation. this lets you stack your motivation higher from earlier on, which lets you stack your shield higher from earlier on. very big for motivation decks!
her personal skill card costs 4 true stamina (meaning shields don't block the damage you take), but gives you 2 shield (growing with motivation stacks), scores for 100% of your shield before upgrading, and gives you an extra 2 stacks of motivation (before upgrade) after! it can either be a really good setup + early score card or a pretty decent late-turn card.
she's much more straightforward than kamurogiku kotone, and you don't need to worry about good impression (👍) at ALL.
that's all fine and dandy, but what about the rest of her deck?
okay, y'all probably know how this goes now. first things first...
Setup Card Time!
this time around, i've got 6 setup cards that i recommend you grab. these will help you perfect lessons all the way up to the midterm, and are good for early-mid turns on lessons after that, either for motivation stacks, shield, or a little extra score. the first card gives you 7 shield and 4 stacks of motivation, but each copy can only be used once per lesson. it's a useful card pretty much anywhere in a lesson because of the high shield count and the decent amount of motivation stacks you get from it. the second card gives you slightly less shield, but similar motivation at 2 shield 4 motivation, and it can be used multiple times in a lesson. pretty much the same usage as the first card, but slightly more consistent usage from each copy. the third card is one of my personal favorite early-mid turn score cards, because it gives you 9 shield, and scores for 40% of your current shield. not the strongest, but because it gives shield, it's good for building up shield and still scoring during lessons.
the fourth card is a solid card for almost every logic girl, giving 4 good impression stacks and 3 motivation stacks. decent early scoring from the good impression while you build up motivation stacks and shield.
the fifth card isn't really much to write home about, it's basically a worse version of the second card, but it's good to grab if you don't have anything else for a setup card. it provides 1 shield and 3 stacks of motivation!
the sixth card, however, is crucial if you want to perfect the pre-midterm special lesson, which helps you build up a ton on all three parameters! i recommend grabbing 2-3 of these. it costs 4 true stamina, but it scores for 110% of your current shield, which can be massive until you get ahold of the heart bomb card. speaking of the heart bomb card...
Score Card Time!
since china's personal item gives her a lot of motivation stacks, and her personal skill card is a decent score card, the best cards i can recommend to you for scoring, aside from the scoring cards i included in the setup section are these three:
the first card is a bit of a grind to get, since you need to be p level 44 to use it, but it's a really strong card for your last few turns because it consumes all of your shield, but scores for 160% of your shield before upgrade and 220% of your shield on upgrade. since you can only get one of these, and it consumes all of the shield that you've built up, it's best to use this as a finisher. the second card grants 6 motivation and scores for 200% of your motivation stacks, meaning it's really solid for a mid-late turn scoring without costing any true stamina while also building up motivation stacks.
and the third card, my personal favorite... the heart bomb. again, this is a staple for any motivation deck, because it only consumes half of your current shield, and scores for 130% of your shield before upgrade, and 180% of your shield on upgrade. since you can grab multiple of these, and they only consume half your shield, it's a good mid-late turn score card compared to the first one.
Support Cards: What do I recommend?
for china, i don't have a lot.
kimi to semiblue sumika's support SSR is really useful yet again, because china is another dance girl, and getting a % of your motivation as score every dance turn is super useful, especially during exams.
yellow big bang kotone's support SSR is also useful, because again, dance girl, and the item you get from the support card can provide healing that you might need since a lot of the cards in motivation decks cost true stamina!
and if you have both of those, and are looking for a rental support ssr, this mao + lilja support ssr has an item that gives 2 shield every visual turn! visual isn't exactly a main concern for china, but i try to have 2 support ssrs of each stat to balance things out a little bit. that's really all i can think of, but of course if you guys have any questions at all, my askbox is open! i love talking about this game, feel free to reach out!
