Gakura

Gakura is a Empire of the Apes monster of the Radicals agenda. Gakura was released in Series 4: Now!.

Proportions:
 * Height:61 Meters
 * Weight:31,000 Tons

Alpha

 * An opponent who carelessly stands his monster between two buildings will take multiple damage from Demolish while Gakura loads up on power dice for consecutive monster activations. If the opponent is able to avoid building adjacency, Gakura will have to settle for raking in power dice while removing power-attack hot spots as he prepares to hyper up for access to either Lightning Attack or Beat Back.


 * Buildings with High Occupancy heal Gakura when he brawls them, which means he can potentially heal 2 damage a turn several times during a game by Blitzing between nearby Apartments, Hotels or Sports Arenas. Thanks to Demolish, he might even be able to damage the enemy monster at the same time.


 * Brawling the Electrical Power Plant then using Blitz to brawl a second building can load up Gakura’s power dice pool while doing damage to enemy monsters. Since triggers are resolved before reactions, Blitz will move Gakura safely out of the way before Live Wire goes off; if an enemy monster is next to the EPP at the time, both Demolish and Live Wire will deliver damage to them.


 * An early super stomp can max out p-dice and set up for multiple monster turns in a row, especially if an Insurance Company HQ is secured on turn one for shuffle.

Mega

 * 7 Defense and immunity to super damage make Mega Gakura a tough nut to crack. He'll be in danger only from power attacks, and any hot spot which threatens a power attack against him also threatens to give him something to Beat Back the opponent into.

Other Media

 * Gakura was mastered by Spencer on September 3, 2011.
