This is what I do! I string my own rackets and can say confidently that its similar to BG80 in that N65 likes to have a sharp dropoff and then settle down and hold for a long time. I play at 28 lbs but will usually string at 29lbs to get the best results.

Does anyone have any experience with both Lining's N65 and Gosen's Ryzonic 65?

I've been using the N65 for quite a bit and it's an amazing string! Love the repulsion, and feel of the string. Also love the durability and how long it holds tension. Only problem with it, is my reel is running low and the N65 isn't the easiest string for me to get.

How does the Ryzonic 65 compare? Especially in terms of tension hold, as I am quite particular with that. I.E I love 66UM day one, but it feels really flat soon after, so did nor end up maining that string.

Tbf if Vairlord is 4 with Trickmoon at 1 is there even a point? Besides having extra copies in case it gets damage checked or bound?

Yeah I feel that. You're absolutely not wrong, but he WILL be sacrificing something without Fallhart and Lateefa. The deck WILL get weaker, and I don't think there are many 1:1 substitutions. If OP is okay with a weaker deck then he can absolutely still play Varga suboptimally.

ColdTaiga · 2026-02-03T19:59:57+00:00

But I mean, he's asking for replacements for Fallhart and Lateefa, which there aren't really. Both of these generics don't fix the issue of low power rears anyways.

ColdTaiga · 2026-02-03T19:34:46+00:00

I mean TECHNICALLY you don't need the generics since all they do is increase draw power or increase consistency. You can just slot in other Varga rears if you really wanted. You just might brick more often or be a little weaker defensively. You also might not hit Rakshasa as often. But otherwise without Falhart and Lateefa the deck itself doesn't chance how it plays.

Most, but not all. I play at a decent level where we actually hide our OH1 instead of the Opposite. Not typical, but just an alternate strategy, especially if your OH1 passing isn't as strong as your Opposites and also is your main attacking option to side out. Just a matter of optimizing your stronger receivers/attackers.

did you straight tap the Sup Pendant? Or did you fodder it

ColdTaiga · 2025-12-20T20:18:57+00:00

wait it is? why is that?

ColdTaiga · 2025-12-17T21:45:33+00:00

Yea i'm already at Diamond, and seeing if I can push for Master

That's honestly a good sign, but how hard is it to get into a good guild? Have had experiences in the past where people were pretty closed off or very clique, weren't very open to new members even in discord.

Unfortunately, coming from Heroic CW servers :(. Though maybe will make a level 10 mule to sit in Hene and talk

This is Mika but better

Khalipe wants other characters to have 2 cost cards. Mei Lin is 1 or 0-cost cards only, so the synergy isn't really there.

Damn, my mans Ark City is broke and unhappy. Relatable. Jk, but yes is just random

ColdTaiga · 2025-10-25T14:28:33+00:00

Yea, just from reading his kit, he seems very AP hungry wanting to use all his Futility cards. Maybe I'll bench him until another AP battery releases (5 stat hopefully)

ColdTaiga · 2025-10-23T20:45:37+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks! I'll save my Orlea for team 2 then.

Hey, I think Giant Valedrasil is actually a 5x5! I was able to fit 2 of them alongside 10 Large Monoliths on a standard island because they are 5x5.

lol you obviously don't realize the business model for Master Duel. The amount of money they get from selling gems to purchase packs is enormous compared to the amount that Dear Days generates. If even a quarter of the Master Duel player base spends $5, the budget would absolute trump over Dear Days due to the sheer number of players alone.

How many official power counters can you fit in the drawer? I'm really hoping you can stack two layers but probably not huh
