Strategies

The Running Bird will increase the speed of all its allies while it is on the battlefield. While it can be hard to hit due to how fast it is, it has no offensive capabilities and zero defense in both card and enemy form.

As a Card

The Running Bird has the ability to make all allies move much faster. This can be very useful when the player is injured and needs a quick escape.
