Noble Knight Clare

[spoiler='Effect']This card is unaffected by Trap Card effects. If this card battles an opponent's monster; you can increase this cards ATK by 700 during the Damage Step only; add 1 counter. When there are 2 Counters on this card, destroy it during the end phase.[/spoiler]

 

This card is based on the Anime Claymore ^^. Broken? Useless? Opinions?

I think you can change it to "This card is unaffected by Trap Card effects."

 

I feel the ATK and DEF you have assigned to not sufficiently reflect the strength of a Warrior (Claymore). I generally use 1900/1700 as an expression of peak-human and slightly-beyond peak-human strength (like with many superheroes), so I see that as the minimum strength Clare should possess: even in her more human state, she has the strength to carry and wield her claymore, and that's significant.

 

Why does she get destroyed once she has 2 Counters?

 

Excellent picture.

TY for the feed back ^_^! Oh for the counters, I just thought that in the Anime Claymore when the claymore warriors reached their peek, when they overuse their Yoki power(represented in adding counters), they would be destroyed, well actually they become awaken but I guess their humanity is destroyed, hmm I forget my justification having it die at 2 counters.  Well because it's a 1900 monster immune to traps, I thought it might looked too overpowered so I had it die after battling twice. I do think I made her too weak though, made her slightly stronger and edited effect.

It's not the Warrior herself who does the destroying for that part, but another Warrior dispatched by the Organization. And, as Clare herself demonstrates, a Warrior can Awaken partially or even fully, sometimes, and not lose control. I think it depends on the Warrior's mental state, and Clare uses Raki as a sort of anchor for a while. Raki himself seems to become pretty strong (I haven't read that far yet).

I do realize the individual does not destroy themselves but it is their fellow comrades that do. As for a concluded justification for destroying itself after gaining 2 counters, it is due to the card being a Lv 4 1900 monster with immunity to traps. I've only seen the Claymore Anime though x_x I've heard the manga is good.

I highly recommend the manga.
