Frieren vs Stark: Analysis Stacking Guide

This guide covers how to effectively play Frieren against Stark by maximizing your Analysis stacks.

Key Strategy

When facing Stark, your goal is to build Analysis stacks while avoiding his high-damage attacks. Stark's moves often require Resolve stacks, which gives you windows of opportunity.

Early Game (Turns 1-3)

1. Focus on using Barrier Magic Analysis and Demon Magic Analysis to build Analysis stacks
2. Save your Ordinary Defensive Magic for when Stark has 2+ Resolve stacks
3. Avoid using offensive spells until you have at least 8 Analysis stacks

Mid Game (Turns 4-7)

1. If Stark has used Lightning Strike or Eisen's Axe Cleave, he'll be low on Resolve
2. This is your opportunity to use Judradjim with your accumulated Analysis stacks
3. Continue building Analysis with utility cards when possible

Late Game (Turns 8+)

1. Save The Height of Magic for when Stark is below 40 HP
2. Use Field of Flowers to sustain yourself if you're below 50 HP
3. If you're below 25 HP, consider using The Height of Magic as a finisher

Card Priority

1. Barrier Magic Analysis - Build stacks while reducing Stark's defense
2. Ordinary Defensive Magic - Save for Stark's high-damage turns
3. Judradjim - Your main damage dealer with 8+ Analysis stacks
4. The Height of Magic - Finisher move

Remember that Stark's Fear Brought Me This Far becomes stronger when he's below 60 HP, so try to either finish him quickly or keep him above that threshold.
