Mourning Tide

A Clan of Tear Dragons from the Nation of Magallanica, the Mourning Tide are noble sages who meditate in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment. From this enlightenment, they gain power over the oceans and the tides, making them a fearsome opponent for any who dare to oppose them. Though they maintain a peaceful relationship with the Bermuda Triangle, Mourning Tide have an ongoing and constant conflict with the Granblue pirates, and now with the return of the legendary Aqua Force, tension has begun to arise between the two groups. Finally, a tide of dark water seeping into the Mourning Tide's territory from an unknown source has begun to corrupt several of their sages, turning them into destructive monstrosities who desire only to cause ruin and suffering.

Mourning Tide's strategy revolves around gathering Grade 3 Units in the hand, and then discarding them, usually for Persona Blasts. To help collect Grade 3s, they have a variety of ways to both search Grade 3s from the deck and recover them from the Drop Zone. From there, the usual winning image of a straightforward Mourning Tide deck is to use the 'True Persona Blast' skills of either Sage King of the Tides, Poseidon or Embodiment of the Divine Ocean, Okeanos, discarding multiple copies of the Vanguard to fuel their skills at full power and overwhelming the opponent. Other playstyles involve the use of Sapphire Dragon, Waterfall, who is able to discard any Grade 3 and can empower Rearguard Lanes with this skill, on top of his own +5000 Power from his Limit Break, and finally the dark form of Mourning Tide, the Ride Chain which culminates in Tempest of the Black Tide, Oceanus, whose powerful skill relies on collecting Grade 3s in the Drop Zone to empower a brutal finishing move.
