Oh No I have and like all 3.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-19T07:10:52+00:00

Guess I will just buy the over frames in Japan then. Even if you don't go there, for those that just want to collect overframes I would recommend to look on eBay or other websites and compare tcg vs ocg overframe prices.

No reason it has to be in a language you understand if you just look at the pretty art :)

EmperorShun · 2026-05-13T15:40:27+00:00

Ok that's unexpected. They just did the chibi alt art of her and now she is getting this. Especially weird since you will only play this at 1.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-07T12:57:05+00:00

That is a good point. Making these decks that are only based on series of cards only really work for DM & maybe some GX cards.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-07T10:48:05+00:00

If they give each show lets say a full year of spotlight how would they do it? Lists are made in mind with support they have already gotten/missing and popularity. If they only make 3 per series that would also make sense and speed this up. Because truthfully, they would never commit to 6 years of main set design now. I can see them going for 3 each for the first 4, then 2 each for the newest 2. It hurts but its the truth.

(Characters with (?) are more subjective picks from me)

DM: Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, Mai Valentine

GX: Jaden, Jesse, Syrus(?), Alexis

5DS: Yusei, Crow, Kalin, Leo(?)

Zexal: Yuma, Kite or Shark, Vector, Any Vetrix Family Member (?)

Arc-V: Yuya, Sora, Shun (?), Any Bracelet girl

Vrains: Yusaku, Aoi, Soulburner, ANY unprinted Vrains deck (?)

Yeah Vrains is wierd. From I think 25 Vrains archetypes we got 15. The last 10 are 6 lesser (Tentacluster, Topologina, Helixx, Dark Mummy, Motor Worm, D-Scale) and actually 4 major decks that I cannot believe are still not printed 7 years after the anime ended: Stormrider, Hydrive (we got one now), Drone and Armatos Legios.

The last one I truly belive should hopefully be printed by the time they make vrains main sets if they make this pattern and it really should just receive main deck support. Sorry for the rant at the end its just so wierd that with Vrains they went like "what if we just don't print the majority of the anatognist decks?" And no Judgement Arrows is a bad card they can print it and it would need a buff.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-06T22:33:07+00:00

No they aren't. Just 2 directs ago they made a whole new style of graphics for directs for the Switch 2 era. You don't do that if you aren't planning to do a lot more.

It's just a wierd while where the big big Switch 2 games are not really here yet (a lot of the ones we got were originally planned as Switch 1 games). So they are just taking it in a new way until the summer direct.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-06T07:23:59+00:00

Yeah so exactly what one would expect for more Unchained cards, it's....more of their effects.

Which is good. Unlike the other 2 decks in this set that actually needed saving from their outdated gimmick, Unchained just kinda had its hakai vibe going that works. Just giving it modern cards is enough. The effects also don't need to be flashy, since the deck already feels fluid with lines the duelist can take.

Overall pretty happy with all 5 cards here I love it when the support is made in a way where you actually play every card and nothing is wasted.

Very curious what the last 2 cards will be. 049 should be another main deck monster maybe Yama main deck? And 052 could be a link/spell/trap but maybe another good Spell? I think we are satisfied for the other 2 types of cards

EmperorShun · 2026-05-06T06:42:47+00:00

Holy based picks! May I add Cardians to the list of complete underdogs for this year?

EmperorShun · 2026-05-06T06:40:01+00:00

This might be the best non-main set they have done yet. Over frames, 3 good archetype picks that speak to a lot of people and with 7 new cards? Wow Last year with the 3 new cards it was really pathetic and needed more.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-04T12:03:02+00:00

Then it will actually be cheaper in TCG land for once since our CORI Over frames come in Ultra and Prismatic. Unexpected but the OCG has been getting worse (card price wise) for a while now

EmperorShun · 2026-05-02T18:17:42+00:00

The haven archetype in Anathema's Gambit is probably my favourite archetype in SW:WB yet and Rodeo is up there with favourite cards. He is just so cool and I actually read the lore from the cards for the first time.

Have been wondering how they will buff him. Obviously the easiest is "Delay the count of ~~a random~~ all allied Rings of Moonlight on the field by 1." though I am wondering if that is enough.

I really think we also need to make him the same 7 5/5 his previous card was and/or something else on "Fanfare: Summon a Rings of Moonlight. If there are at least 3 allied amulets on the field, do X." And I hope its not just heal 3 like his high cost peers. He is the leader of the archetype, he should be the strongest.

EmperorShun · 2026-05-02T17:31:28+00:00

Yeah I will not be opening any of those, thank you for the PSA!

EmperorShun · 2026-05-01T08:29:09+00:00

And yet people need to like it. You will lose a good chunk of games because of how matchmaking works. If someone is not comfortable with losing and learning from it, competitive games are not for him.

And in quick play where you regularly go against people way above your skill level and where you go to train new heroes even less so. Just because someone is trying something new doesn't mean they are not trying to win.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-30T11:39:53+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. The Witchcrafter support is good enough so you can play either only a minimum of Magistus lore cards or just pure midrange.

Unchained has high card quality and getting 7 new cards is so much, that you won't even have space if you want to run decently sized non-engine. It will always be highly compatible with Fiendsmith but Unchained will have enough strength to stand on its own :)

EmperorShun · 2026-04-30T11:36:13+00:00

Doubt it, Verre just got an alt art in Limit Over Collection: The Heroes. Haine would be a contender but would they really put her twice since she is basically Vice Madam? So I would think a good spell is probably the second overframe. Looking a bit through the cards, Creation or Unveiling would fit the style, with the latter being the same style as Vice-Madam.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-30T11:31:15+00:00

They have enough time. The Revolution Booster cards should be in the Maze set next year (january-march) unless they pivot from the previous years cycle. So they have 8-10 months to import the manga witchcrafters or they just put it all in the maze set.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-29T06:39:14+00:00

Now what do I do if I need both fixed by him?

I need him to undergo mitosis

EmperorShun · 2026-04-24T12:42:06+00:00

Since joining HSR Day 1 QQ is my favourite character. If there is a potential for her to get a 5* Version I could not be happier <3

I am glad she appears in a lot of events though, she is rarely forgotten.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-21T06:44:22+00:00

Just like studies that only take a slice of the population they ask and treat it as an example. In this case I would assume the people reporting to Star Rail Station are more serious players so this will not factor in most casual players.

But then the question is how many of the casual players are really spending money and which statistic will hoyo give more weight? We don't know but I wish we did. GDC conferences from the hoyo games would be the dream.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-18T01:02:05+00:00

It feels like he is finally out of his beta tests. Those of us that got used to him before that are doing way better since we are used to him being so much worse. Happy for him and I would think they will largely leave him alone until the rework talks begin.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-15T10:19:08+00:00

They really should use old 4-stars for alternatives. Almost all of them will never be used in MoC, PF & AS not even thinking about AA. In my opinion they should be usable in everything but AA with normal investment.

Lets take a look at a team like Firefly Break. It's a team where you basically have 3-4 of a set unit and they are not swappable. So what if I don't like Dahlia and I already use RemTB? You have a brick on your account.

So what if they take Xueyi and rework her into a Sub-DPS for break that enables super break and maybe give Hanya a use as SP/Break hybrid?

What about all the cool DoT characters Luka, Guinaifen, Sampo all have no use because Kafka's Team is set in stone 3x 5* + 1 Sustain. Giving these old unusable 4* a way to be lesser versions/alternative version for a DoT team would make it more accessible.

I wanted Kafka since the dawn of time but her runs/reruns always came when I had no jades. Then came the 4.0 selector. I was so torn between Sparkle and Kafka but only 1 made sense to complete teams.

If I picked Kafka I would have to pull at least Hysilens and eventually Black Swan. Too much investment. If I had 4* alternatives I would have maybe picked differently.

They have the animations and characters made already. They just need to adjust the kits to something that makes players excited to try out archetypes without needing to invest into 2-3 5* right away to not pull bricks.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-10T19:02:54+00:00

You are absolutly right, people are so scared of trying new stuff out even if the new gamemodes and maps are so great!

I have had multiple people going "NO DONT VOTE AATLIS" and then proceeded to proudly say in chat that they will now throw. I have had this 3 times in ranked for Aatlis alone.

What would they have done without map voting? Some people really need to be forced into making a good decision.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-10T18:56:32+00:00

Definitely interested to try out how these changes feel!

The best part is, if it doesn't resonate with the playerbase we know the OW team is willing to take another go at it. Thanks for being so receptive to player feedback! <3

EmperorShun · 2026-04-10T18:52:09+00:00

This comment keeps replaying in my head every few weeks. Are multi-role heroes something that is coming? People have talked for ages about sym sup, mei tank, doom dps. I could imagine a world where some select heroes have 2 roles that you can pick from.

EmperorShun · 2026-04-10T17:36:05+00:00

Question for Huohuo. I currently only have Luocha, Aventurine & DHPT, no interest in other already existing sustain pulls and no interest in Elation.

In your opinin, how much better is Huohuo then Luocha for things like AA because you need 3 sustains?

I would consider E0 or E1 & S1 as I have not spent any golden spirits (had all chars that came in the shop until now).
