On Stage (オンステージ, Onsutēji) is an effect introduced in BSC16. This effect is made only for the "Diva" family Spirit cards.
The effect reads:
- On Stage (Your Attack Step) Instead of attacking with this Spirit, by returning this Spirit to the deckbottom, summon one "Stage Style" family "XX" from your Hand/Removed Zone, without paying the cost, and draw a card.
XX = Name of a certain Spirit/Ultimate.
On Stage is a very convenient effect as it allows the player to summon a high-cost Spirit very quickly, pushing the game in a quick progress. Furthermore, since it also summons Spirits from the opened zone, the player can still put out cards for other effects.
However, since the Grand Advent era, anti-free-summon effects were promoted, leading to On Stage become a much weaker effect.
Trivia[]
- Only Divas in teams Shiny Hearts and Absolutes have this effect.
- Before BSC31, Divas with the Stage Style family don't have this effect.
