Strategies/Usage

Universally among every other Ultra Soul, the first form is a spammable unit, and gains additional traits in second form, along with a vastly different appearance.

Generally, Urashima Taro is used as an overpowered meatshield to protect units such as Maeda Keiji or Frosty Kai. Certain situations involving the traited enemy type will be less effective against similar cat units with the "Resistant" trait, allowing the unit to take 1/4 the damage originally inflicted.

However, even though Urashima Taro may outclass units similar if field such as Maria Keiji, in attack's damage, and a major excel in HP, Urashima Taro is not typically as applicable as Keiji. Unlike Guardian Gamereon, Keiji has a fast recharge time, making him a wall that can be produced more quickly than other resistant traited units, while Keiji has superior attack speed and movement speed. A flaw associated with Urashima Taro is that he is only good in the appropriate circumstances against Black and Angel enemies, making his use very limited in most circumstances.

Guardian Gamereon's range is good enough to be used as a generalist, whilst being low enough to take up front and tank hits for your ranged attakers to be kept safe.

He can be a good tag-team with Kasa Jizo against Blacks: While Jizo deals the damage, Urashima/Gamereon shields the frontline of Black enemies.
