How To Play Bakugan With Double Strike Bakugan
When season 3 of the Bakugan series was introduced, there were not only new sets of Core Bakugan and Super Assaults that were released. There was also what we call the Double Strike Bakugan. These are a special kind of Bakugan, created in a way that they can execute a secondary attack when played in a brawl. There are only a few of them, and only two of them have been released so far.
The Double Strike Bakugan is not as popular as the Bakugan Battle Gear or the Bakugan Mobile Assault. This maybe because there are only so very few of them. The battle gears and the mobile assaults have also been widely promoted throughout the community while the Double Strike Bakugan was not. It also has a different set of rules to follow when in play. The rules for the battle gears and mobile assaults are solid and applicable to every battle gear and mobile assault (respectively). But this is not so with the Double Strike Bakugan.
Let us take the two released Double Strike Bakugan, Sky and Gaia Dragonoid Bakugan and Dartaak Bakugan, as examples in explaining how their rules are different from the other Bakugan. Basically, they have a secondary attack that can be triggered by the player, either automatically or manually. When rolled onto a Gate card, the Double Strike Bakugan pops into two pieces, and the game ends up having more action and excitement!
When using the Sky and Gaia Dragonoid in a brawl, roll it onto the Gate cards and see where the opened halves of the Bakugan land. If both pieces land on the same Gate card, the player will decide which piece stays and which other will be moved to the other Gate card on the field. Battle will ensue when there is an opponent on the Gate card. If there opponents on both the cards, the player will pick which battle will start first.
If both pieces of the Sky and Gaia Dragonoid open and land on the same Gate card, and there are no other cards on the field, the player will have to choose which piece will stay in play and which one will be moved to the used pile. Another case wherein one piece will be move to the used pile is when that piece does not land on any card. If it lands elsewhere on the field, then it is moved to the used pile.
The Dartaak Bakugan is similarly used like the Sky and Gaia Dragonoid. It also opens up into two pieces when rolled onto a Gate card. When it lands on the card, only the G-Power of the piece that stays will be used for the battle. If it lands on the opponent's Gate card, however, the G-Powers of both pieces will be added up and a battle will ensue.
There are other Double Strike Bakugan that haven't been shown yet, and the rules of how to play them are also not certain. Only the Sky and Gaia Dragonoid and the Dartaak have specific instruction as of now. Their rules are specifically pointed out separately to emphasize how they follow a different gameplay from the other Bakugan. We will know more when more Double Strike Bakugan will be released.
