Stride And G-Unit Mechanics/Special Rules

[Duive]

This is to put to rest once and for all the unknowns related with Stride and G-Unit especially with those that actively play:

◾You can perform Stride in your stride step (which comes AFTER the ride step while STILL BEING in the ride phase) when both you and your opponent have a grade 3 or greater vanguard by discarding cards in your hand with the sum of their grades being 3 or more.
◾After paying the cost, choose the G unit you want Stride that is face down from your G zone.
◾The G unit Strides in the same state (Stand or Rest) as your vanguard was prior to Striding (Pay attention to this one Megacolony players).
◾At the end of your turn, return the G Unit you Strode to your G zone face-up, and all your heart cards are now treated as your vanguard, and your vanguard is in the same state (Stand or Rest) as your G unit was at the end of turn. If your heart cards were Legion prior to Striding, they return in Legion state.
◾Striding does not count as a ride, so effects involving ride are not activated.


Technicalities:
-Stride does not trigger "Break Ride".
-When performing Stride and your Vanguard is in Legion, both units become the "Heart" but only 1 is designated to lend its power to the G-Unit.
-When Stride is performed on a deleted Vanguard, the deleted unit becomes flipped and is now the Heart. Afterwards it remains un-deleted.
-It is possible to Stride and then Ride (or even Superior Ride!). In this case, return the G-Unit to the deck and the units in the Heart go to the Soul.
-As hinted at the top, Stride is after Ride Step but still in the Ride Phase, not it the Main Phase. So make sure you have everything set before performing dat fateful Stride. As it signals the end of your Ride Step.


Here's a more colorful and detailed look at G-Units and Stride :V

1st. There is no 2nd Ride Step after the Stride step so the only way to ride another unit over a stride unit is Superior Ride.
2nd. Don't Forget the stride unit keeps the Name of the heart you choose but it still has its own Name too.(which can be important since there are strides like Dark Dragon, Phantom Blaster "Diablo" that can still use their skill even if they are not stridden over a blaster or an Unit that does not have the same Archetype, which also means you can use Units skill that require that specific Archetype  on the turn you stride it )
3rd. You can't use the Heart skills of Units that are stridden when they are deleted

anything else seems fine so thank you for your hard work.
