In this article, I’ll be putting the spotlight on the Aqua card, “Star Shuriken.”
As of October 2021, this card has 115 base damage, 10 shields, and costs 1 energy. It also prevents the target from entering Last Stand if it deals the final blow.

How Is Star Shuriken Used?
This card is used mainly by damage-dealing Aqua Axies against targets with high morale which causes Last Stand outplays. It’s also a good high-damage ranged card.
I use it to prevent Beasts/Bugs from entering Last Stand by placing it at the end of my combos. I also use it alongside Attack+ to take down tanky Axies.
What Kind of Axies/Teams Use Star Shuriken?
Most of the Axies that use this card are Aqua Axies in Aqua-Aqua Plant (AAP) team compositions. Either Aqua could have Star Shuriken, but it’s better if the other has Hero’s Bane just in case.
Damage-dealing Aquas should have this because of its high base damage and range attribute (to avoid Gravel Ant’s ability to disable all melee cards).

Pros
