rare karin. good stats, nice symbol spread, and a relevant R ability

She's not my type of character, but she could use a better E.

Fantastic. I only wish her E was the one printed on the promo ;_;

But canceling keywords is pretty dang useful. Take that Spike/ShinSho/Lunar Slash/Fire Kick/other good Multiple or Powerful attack!

Symbol spread's not too bad, either. But the real reason to play her is so obvious.

I adore Karin, I really do, I love her, her effects, and the fact that's she's more posh, rich and b****cy than Ken or Sakura could ever hope to be

I do, however struggle to think of an effective way to build her. If I could do it, I'd do it in a flash. I was thinking of an Evil/All split using TWoP with Mujin Kyaku, and then killing with Fire Kick/Shin Shoryuken or something similar, however that would desgignate a hell of a lot of bad checks, which don't bode well for the poor girl. But if someone could give out some good pointers on how to play her, I'd build her and tell everyone how it went

i just wish the promo and the rare could be combined.

I don't even know if I'm convinced by Mujin Kyaku... 7diff for a guaranteed pinch of damage and turn-ending, BUT in the current meta the only decks that throw attacks that you can ever hope to block are Feline Spike and Defender loop, and those decks still run the cards that deplete your hand, commit your board, hack your checks, negate your R's, and any of these exacerbate the problem of getting Mujin off as a reversal.

Shes good for skirting diversity and a decent sideboard option, on her own i dont think she has enough with her character onlys to make an impact. Too geared at stopping your opponents stuff and not enough as making your own work.

I've built a fire deck out of Karin2, while adding 4x Karin1 that i stack occasionally and trust me, she's a beast!

She is currently my most successfull deck for tournaments.

Her R + Mujin Kuaku + Ultimate and Immortal and/or some The price of Foolisness = one dead adversary...
