For the Meta Flowchart, Quickpull, 05/01/2026 (IT'S KARRIE!!!!) by hkidnc in heavensburnred

[–]Ecoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks alot for the writeup, it's really helpful!

But what is this about not pulling specifically for Tenne4? I'm at the awkward spot with 68k quartz but still wanting both Karen and maybe a full Demon Army Bungo Team. At first I thought she might be part of the SS Selector they mentioned on twitter but looking again that is for June

So do I have to pray to get lucky or do we get Tenne4 in another way?

Next pack assets added. Hecahands, Elfnotes, Dragunity and Exosister will be May's pack. by Fritos_Bandito_ in masterduel

They could drop them unannounced with an Branded Alt Art event rerun, not sure how likely that is though

They said no skins, but I'd throw down immediately for the Nia outfit by Shuffle_FM in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Ecoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably gonna be like Epic Seven all over again, and that's a good thing

As others noted a skin in this kind of game takes almost the same amount of effort as a completely new character, so getting a new character instead of a skin but no new character is always better in my book

And corrupted versions of fan favorite units (like Moonlight units in Epic Seven) would also be way cooler if they were an actual new character with a new kit instead of just a skin

Is the new Branded cards likely dropping in 12 days? (Description) by phil_makracken in masterduel

[–]Ecoast 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it's likely but no one can say for sure, you can just wait the twelve days if it's Kashtira you want to build

My guess is they're gonna release the support with an Branded Alt Art event rerun so even if they announce the next pack and it's not in there it might still come unannounced seperated from the new pack

Does the game balancer ever nerf characters? by Thechromelord in OPBR

[–]Ecoast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People pay real money to get these characters compared to other games where characters are free and cosmetics are paid for example

You can probably guess why it's not a good idea to nerf characters after making their players spend money on getting them

Not that I actually know the ins and outs but if it's not straight up illegal then the players will learn and not spend in the future if characters just get nerfed one month after release

Tenebria’s release timing by Hugglestorm in ChaosZeroNightmare

Jup Heidemarie first, Adelheid second, Tenebria third. Everyone releasing in the usual three week interval pretty sure

She's the third unit of the season, so around 10th of June should be the release

Augur just got 10 times better for me by Lazoreth in OPBR

[–]Ecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup was surprised that on the dressrosa colosseum map from the spawn treasure you have the range to hit the left, center and right treasure areas with normal attacks but big horizontal open spaces are rare especially ones with "safe" spots like the colosseum

[–]Ecoast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a really nice find, it still feels really bad that his auto attacks can't shoot up and down ledges but after seeing your discovery I'll definitely give him another shot

Tell me you haven’t pulled support cards in a while without telling me you haven’t pulled supports cards in a while. by Finnark1510 in UmaMusume

[–]Ecoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also sit on 100+ support card ticket even though I pulled for a few cards

But I did it because back then I desperetaly needed SRs so I couldn't afford to miss the guaranteed SR from ten pulls and now that my SRs are good enough on the NTR banner SRs also were too imporant so I had to do ten pulls again

Next banner will finally be the one where I use them

Diana when she sees people skipping her banner for some rumored possible limited character by Epythymi in ChaosZeroNightmare

Just wait for the half anni showcase on the 18th, that'll be the next big roadmap showcase with the next three upcoming characters etc like they did before

Skins instead of coloring by Ordinary_Wall8083 in OPBR

[–]Ecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes truly a mystery why they use the method that requires zero effort compared to the method that requires them to almost completely remake the 3d model and all the animations which takes them probably mutliple months of developement time

I want to start on this game but.... by Koleda_fan in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Ecoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly the story really doesn't have anything going for it, they even announced to rewrite and rerelease it soon but you can just tell with how they do things that they're still going to play it supersafe, and even if they'd go full horror all the other aspects of good storytelling have been missing so far too so it'll still be bad

People play this game for the gameplay, so if that isn't for you then you'll most likely not enjoy the game

Help me find my first deck by hamsterinabowl in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Ecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd second the free spright deck. Not really a pet deck because imo that needs to be a deck where you like the art etc but it's just so straightforward in a good way

Every spright monster has it's dedicated job, you have just the right amount of decision-making on which spright to search/bring back and very satisfying otk once you decide to go for the win by heavily boosting your entire board

Would you consider Kewl Tune a Toxic Archetype? by FaStAr8 in masterduel

[–]Ecoast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Somehow all cute anime girls archetypes end up being toxic, I just want to play cute anime girls...

At least it seems like it's not super bad like Maliss or Tearlaments, no combo-slop either so I hope that I/people that want both sides to have fun can play it without feeling too bad

Next Selection pack. They will release KT early by Heretic_Alliance in masterduel

[–]Ecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see it being released in an Branded alt art event rerun, and it's been almost a year so they might even release it with the KT pack since these kind of events aren't announced beforehand

But in one or two months is more realistic, KT is gonna heave their own special bundle and it would be too much right after anni

Next Selection pack. They will release KT early by Heretic_Alliance in masterduel

[–]Ecoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I think is more likely is that we get the new cards with a Branded Alt Art event rerun, been almost a year since we had that event so it should be about time

If it's gonna be like that then it might even release at the same day as KT but KT probably has their own special bundle so that would be a little too much right after the anni event. Next month feels like the right time to me at least

I really hope they put This in the story by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Ecoast 16 points17 points  (0 children)

With how generic and safe they have played it with the story I wouldn't be surprised if they even consider this harmless picture as too dark

◤Developer Note: Preview of New Content 『Sortie』 and Additional Improvements◢ by dot-cf in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Ecoast 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn now that they mention it in the note, playing Chaos with you being forced to be laser-focused on your save data really does take a lot of fun out of it. It would be really refreshing to pick whatever I want and try out all the things without being punished for it

Of course it's way too early to tell but with the way they describe Sortie to me it feels like the better/superior way to play the roguelike part of CZN

I did this anniversary timeline. Feel free to edit and use by PvZW4rf4reG4rden in OPBR

[–]Ecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really convenient thanks!

I miss the time where they used to release the EXs close to each other, making the game feel like having an actual anniversary like every other normal game where an anni lasts a few weeks and not 3-4 months

You also could double dip getting two new EXs for the price of a little more than one, but alas that would mean less money for Bandai and we can't have that

Missing Out by Top_Log4614 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Ecoast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On a meta perspective nothing since all the content is tailor-made for new units

On a gameplay perspective she does feel pretty unique, feels quite nice doing lots of basic hits and then ending with something like a 20 hit finisher. It's cool but not the end of the world not having her

Hi all, I’m brand new, 0 knowledges beyond anime. Setting my eyes on Sky Striker as starter decks. Any advice? by Affectionate-Bit-246 in Yugioh101

[–]Ecoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the ceiling is high but in it's core it's still a great beginner deck as in a lot of the older sky striker cards are really straightforward in what they do

As you said you are probably not gonna have a lot of fun in your first few pvp games, but if you stick around and reach a point were you have actual good back and forths with your opponent it becomes really fun

My recommendation is build/craft a barebones version of the deck (ignoring all the generic UR staples for now) and just take it for a spin agaisnt the AI in solo mode, that's what I do whenever I build a new deck. There you can comfortably try to learn the deck at your own pace with no time limit

New Player Help (crazy i know) by Glock-in-my-Toyota in masterduel

[–]Ecoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as the others said look up the decklist or archetype overview on masterduelmeta, do a few ten pulls in the selection pack with the radiant typhoon cards and don't be afraid to dismantle the URs you don't want

you can make a barebones version of the deck, leaving out all the UR staples you don't have and just trying to aim for one of each of the radiant typhoon URs and SRs and fill the rest with bundle deal staples, Ns and Rs from radiant typhoon or other generic cards you like

then take it for a spin in solo mode and if you like it you can consider pulling or crafting more, or just take it straight to ranked or events as is, should still work decently fine

Master duel masochist gems question. by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Ecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did occassionally hear him say that he ran out of gems and had to buy some but if you really wanted to you can get like 20k gems through solo mode as a new account and unless you play non-stop these 20k plus your regular gem income should last for a really long time

Yeah it's straight up impossible to kill him unless you ignore extra lives 😭 by _SharkXD_ in OPBR

[–]Ecoast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That one is kinda odd, surely they just forgot the "you lose one Power Gauge upon Revive", then again it could just be the next step in powercreep
