* {{Foil}}: Both she and Samuel suffered something traumatic in the past that left them more cynical and doubtful of people, but while Samuel shut himself off from the world and became cold in accordance with what he 'learned', Agatha only clung to her friends more and chose to set a defiant example that Gabriel's philosophy was wrong.

to:

The third player of Team Revelation, Selena's prim and proper appearance is only added to by a cold and haughty attitude on the battlefield.
Selena uses a Genesis deck focused around the Artemis series of Units. After using cards like Strong Bow of the Starry Night, Ulixes to increase her Soul count, she then uses skills to distribute the cards in her Soul as divine gauges to her rear-guards. Her ace card, Battle Deity of the Night, Artemis then grants all of her rear-guards with divine gauge 5000 Power, protection from her opponent's targeting effects, and the effect of any Trigger placed on Artemis herself, allowing Selena to close out the game with an explosive finish.

* {{Lunacy}}: Her deck is focused around the moon-themed Artemis series.
* MeaningfulName: Her name is derived from that of the moon goddess Selene, reflecting Selena's use of Artemis as her ace card/

* PersonalityPowers: Leah's use of Oracle Think Tank, which aims to control the top of the deck and set up their strategy well in advance, reflects her distaste for the concept of fate and wish to eliminate luck as much as she can from her games.

* AgeLift: In his original appearance in ''Setting Sun'', Seth was eighteen and going to university, while in the reboot, he debuts as a fifteen year old.



* PersonalityPowers: The playstyle of a Dragonic Overlord deck tends to focus in heavily on the Vanguard and its ability to restand and continue attacking the opponent until victory is achieved. As more about Gabriel comes to light, it becomes clear that this style reflects Gabriel himself, a relentless {{Determinator}} who if he were allowed would have fought every single game on the way to the top himself.

The apparent leader of Team Wild Fangs, Rachel's white tracksuit and athletic figure indicate her as a sportswoman, but her intimidating manner hints at her incredible skill in Vanguard fights. Always smiling a confident smile, Rachel overcomes her opponents through a powerful chain-calling strategy.

Rachel uses a Gold Paladin deck focused on Great Silver Wolf, Garmore and White Hare in the Moon's Shadow, Pellinore. With the latter's skill, she is able to Superior Ride mid-Battle Phase when her rear-guard's attack hits a Vanguard, at which point she uses the skills of Knight of Vitality, Brennius and Direcgal to call new attackers to exploit the additional Accel Circle that Pellinore generates. Though this strategy drains her hand, Brennius, Direcgal and Listener of Truth, Dindrane all give her draw power, and Pellinore's second skill allows her to return rear-guard attackers to her hand in a pinch.



* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: A mild example. In the original fic, she used a Royal Paladin deck centering around Fang of Light, Garmore and his Blizzard Formation-related units like Brugal and Snogal. In the reboot, she used Gold Paladins instead but still keeps Garmore (albeit his Great Silver Wolf incarnation) as her main ace unit.

to:

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the original fic, Rachel's team was the one which defeated the original Team Avalon a year prior to the fic. In the reboot, this role passes to Charles and Team Revelation, leaving the cast unfamiliar with Rachel until she demonstrates her skill by crushing a hapless member of Team Heroic Chance.

!!Nova Grappler (Accel)



Charlie uses a Blau Nova Grappler deck based around the titular Archetype. His strategy involves the synergy between Stern Blaukluger and Galaxy Blaukluger, the former of which can Ride the latter from the rear-guard at the end of its attack while the latter itself can Superior Call Stern from the Soul when it attacks as the Vanguard. Combined with Imaginary Gift: Accel and the skill both share that empowers all of his Grade 3 Blaus by 10000 Power so long as a Blaukluger is in his Soul, this gives Charlie the ability to overwhelm his opponent with an unending chain of high-powered attacks. Due to his strategy's dependence upon assembling both Grade 3s, the lower-tier Units in the ride chain have consistency-boosting skills that allow him to tutor Blau cards from the deck when they are placed.



* {{Adorkable}}: He's ridiculously hammy and nerdy, but as both Agatha and Leah note, he's so sincere that you can't help but like him anyway.
* GracefulLoser: After losing, he unmasks and earnestly entrusts Robert with his wish to show everyone the light of the human heart.



* ShoutOut: As with his original counterpart, he cosplays Char as he appeared in the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. He also delivers a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan to Noah clearly intended to reference the prevalence of the trope in ''Gundam'', since he word-by-word quotes Jamil Neate's famous summation from ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' after doing so. The Ride in which he fights Robert is titled "The Crimson Comet", a reference to Char's title, the Red Comet.

An eccentric team who fight believing in the power of space and dressed as ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' characters, two of the members of Team Cosmo Nova are energetic and HotBlooded to a point, while their third player has only exasperation and disbelief at their antics.

!Charlie Andrews

The leader of Team Cosmo Nova, Charlie makes a firm impression simply from his outfit alone, a dedicated attempt to look like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char]]. He follows up with loud boasts and speeches that cement him as an eccentric but passionate fighter.

!!Tropes:
* LargeHam: To say he takes bites out of the scenery is something of an understatement.
* MythologyGag: While introducing himself, Charlie stumbles and gets cut off in such a way that he says "Char-", a nod to the man he's cosplaying that also happened in the original fic.
* ShoutOut: As with his original counterpart, he cosplays Char as he appeared in the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. He also delivers a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan to Noah clearly intended to reference the prevalence of the trope in ''Gundam'', since he word-by-word quotes Jamil Neate's famous summation from ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' after doing so. The Ride in which he fights Robert is titled "The Crimson Comet", a reference to Char's title, the Red Comet.

!Noah Ray
!!Nova Grappler

The second player of Cosmo Nova, Noah shares Charlie's passion for all things ''Gundam'' to the extent of also cosplaying while fighting.

Noah uses a Nova Grappler deck with Perfect Raizer as his ace card. He aims to use skills to restand his rear-guards during the battle phase, allowing him to overwhelm his opponent with a mighty flurry of attacks empowered by Accel circles and Unit skills.

!!Tropes:
* AttackAttackAttack: A staple Nova Grappler strategy that Noah goes all-out with.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Noah never actually fought in the original universe and so his surname "Ray" is only revealed in the reboot.
* ShoutOut: On top of cosplaying [[Anime/TurnAGundam Harry Ord]] like he did in the original fic, Noah gets to use his "UNIVEEEERSE" {{Kiai}}. His newly revealed surname is a reference to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray]], he quotes Quattro/Char's memetic [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam "I came to laugh at you"]] line to Agatha, and a monologue he gets after Samuel uses ''Damned Charging Lance'' references the replanting flowers line from ''Anime/GundamSeedDestiny''. Finally, when he attacks with Perfect Raizer, he delivers the Erupting Burning Finger speech from ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''.
* SignatureMon: Perfect Raizer
* {{Wangst}}: Played for laughs, after he loses to Samuel he makes a big song and dance about being sorry that he lost, only to receive a firm GetAHoldOfYourselfMan from Charlie.

!Bethan Andrews

Charlie's sister, Bethan's reaction to her teammate's antics is nothing short of exasperation, just like in the original universe.

!!Tropes:
* TheComicallySerious: As in the original fic, she's intended as a straight man to contrast the antics of Charlie and Noah with pure, unfiltered frustration and exasperation.
* {{Facepalm}}: Her default expression.

Robert uses a Dimension Police deck that focuses around Miracle Beauty, using Imaginary Gift: Force and Unit skills to raise her Power to 30000. At this point, her ability allows him to stand a rear-guard copy of herself on attack, and when a rear-guard copy stands the boosting rear-guard in her column also does. This allows Robert to unleash a flurry of attacks uncommon for a Force Clan, catching his opponent off-guard.
