Is Azuki’s Defender like Blocker in One Piece?
YesYes. Defender is the Azuki TCG’s Blocker: after an attack is declared, rest (tap) it to become the attack’s new target. The order differs: One Piece blocks before counters, Azuki plays Responses before Defender.
Defender in the Azuki TCG
When an opposing attack is declared and Responses are done, you may tap one untapped Defender in your Garden to make it the attack’s new target. It’s your choice, made after you see the attack. Cooldown doesn’t stop it; Infiltrate does.
The same
- Both are the defending player’s choice after an attack is declared, and both tap or rest the defender.
- Both can be shut off: One Piece cards stop the opponent activating Blocker, Azuki attackers with Infiltrate do the same.
Different
- One Piece’s Block step comes before the Counter step. Azuki Responses come first, then Defender, so you know how the Responses went before you choose.
- Azuki combat deals damage both ways at once, and the Defender keeps any damage it survives until the end of the turn. One Piece battles compare power instead.
