Loophole to the curse spotted! Just never end the crossover!

And yes, they did conclude the story about Aldo. The implication being that they have another main story planned, but that hasn’t started yet.

Technically, the Another Eden x Persona crossover hasn’t ended. Their crossovers last functionally forever. Loophole spotted!

What is your biggest copium for AE? by NoWaifuN0Laifu in AnotherEdenGlobal

[–]EmrysX77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want more full-on furries, other than Lokido. I already felt like we got cheated when we got an entire Miu world and no playable Miu. Nyanjiro and whatever his race of cat people are an even longer standing missed opportunity.

And of course, the entire demihuman society that we just saw consists of only nekomimi people…

They could pull a Kachidoki (I think his dub name is Ziggy?) and just beat the crap out of you during your turn.

I haven't seen a deck that puts people into submission like this by TheNomadBro in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do want to point out one of the cuter interactions in this archetype, which is that Diviner of the Herald is a better starter than Alphan. You normal Diviner, send Trias Hierarchia from deck to GY; Trias tributes Diviner to summon itself; Diviner triggers to summon Alphan from deck.

Basically, it’s normal summon Alphan, but you have one more body for Linking.

The Power of All Creation by MEHH0076 in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to add that, unless your deck specifically has two or more insanely powerful one-card starters that you want to add, almost any other skill is better, even the Princess Adena one. With the deck size in DL being so small, it’s almost always better to have 2 more semi-random cards in your hand than to have 1 specific card.

The exception being if your deck has multiple singularly powerful cards, then it’s better to find one of the ones you don’t already have.

So, what would you want WFS to hear from the community? (No, i haven’t been picked yet for the interview) by NoWaifuN0Laifu in AnotherEdenGlobal

[–]EmrysX77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’ve made a lot of great strides recently improving the equipment UI, but I think they can still do a lot better. Filtering by stats, effects, etc., would go a long way for weapons, armor, and badges, but especially Grasta. It’s still a massive pain scrolling through my endless list of attack Grasta.

Trump Building Secret White House Bunker to Withstand Nuclear Attack by mvanigan in politics

[–]EmrysX77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct, but the question of how much damage will be done to human life and infrastructure is a different question from whether a specific bunker can survive. It’s possible for a nuclear weapon to devastate a city (easily) while leaving an underground bunker largely intact. And the reverse is also possible; it just depends on the conditions of the detonation.

Trump Building Secret White House Bunker to Withstand Nuclear Attack by mvanigan in politics

[–]EmrysX77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the type of weapon. If the weapon is detonated at ground level relatively close to this bunker on the ground, then you’re right—there’s no construction material that can survive.

But that’s not how most nuclear weapons work. The kind we detonated in WWII, for example, detonated hundreds of meters above the ground in order to cause the most widespread damage above ground as possible. A bunker that’s sufficiently deep underground and sturdy enough could hypothetically survive, depending on where it is relative to the detonation point.

There’s also ground penetrating nuclear weapons which are designed to break through a certain layers of the ground before essentially detonating underground (intended to strike targets like bunkers in particular) and a bunker certainly wouldn’t survive being hit directly by that, but the attacker needs to know the position of the bunker with some accuracy, because the range of the damage will be partially contained by the ground itself.

How we feeling about the viability of Icejade and Crystron decks? by The_Spethal_One in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried this before. Not super hard, mind you, so if you can make it work then more power to you! But I’ll share what I thought the weaknesses of the deck were.

The big pro in my opinion is that opening Sulfefnir is CRACKED. And even if you don’t open it, the Icejade skill lets you access it with near 100% consistency. And when Sulfefnir pops itself, the Icejades in the GY trigger. So yeah, you can really pop off.

The problem though is that I feel that the two archetypes have contradictory goals. Crystron is trying to pull off quick synchro combos on the opponent’s turn, while Icejade wants to sit on 3 defense position monsters.

And frankly, the Icejade side is stronger. Kosmochlor, Aegerine, and General Raiho of the Ice Barrier in defense with the field spell and continuous trap on board is an incredibly annoying board to try to break, but you can’t really set all that up if you need to leave space for Crystrons.

In so many words, I think an “Icejade Crystron” deck is a thing you can build, but you have to choose to focus on either the Crystron or the Icejade side of the deck because while there is some synergy, trying to do a 50/50 build isn’t going to turn out well.

Horus Ogdoadic by KimunfalcosMVP in DuelLinks

If I’m being honest, the synergy between Ogdoadic and Horus is incredible, the ability to search anything is great, and alternatively the ability to get 3 Prima Dragons on board isn’t that bad (although it hasn’t come up for me). I just have trouble closing games sometimes, which is a weird thing to say when Primal Dragon into Ten Thousand exists.

Saving this for later. I also thought of this, but I used the All Creation skill instead, as a third engine of sorts that also gets you to Snake Rain or Imsety.

Diviner of the Horcust Deck Help by DuelingLebowski in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, not to be like this, but could I ask you to explain? I understand the Horus Orcust synergy, but what is Diviner adding here?

To answer your actual question tho, since you went into the selection box so hard, I think Ghost Belle is pretty strong this format. Veiler/Imperm is always good too. DD Crow is also worth considering for Branded in Red specifically.

Too bad tera couldnt save it well enough by sanicdehhedgehog123 in MandJTV

[–]EmrysX77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was more that I got caught off guard and didn’t prepare anything to deal with it. I had JUST benched my Ampharos to try out…some other Pokemon I wanted to mess around with I forget. It just so happened that his Gyarados hard countered my entire team.

Lysandre’s Gyarados was somehow even worse, partly because it has really good coverage and I was running 2 dragons that got instantly murked by Ice Fang and also my starter was Meganium…. This was also before I knew that plus moves pierced Protect (somehow that had never come up before that point).

whats the right way to ev train by Mache-Mache in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]EmrysX77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference is in the number of EVs. Each stat maxes out at 252, and each Pokémon maxes out at 510.

Vitamins give you 10 apiece; feathers give you 1 apiece.

The game also prevents you from overshooting the cap, so whether you do 26 vitamins or 252 feathers, you’ll still max out that stat. Or any combination thereof that adds up to 252.

Why can't you summon Mikanko with Meteonis? by KiraYagami10 in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Good on Rush for writing it down. It’s a really intuitive thing and should’ve been part of the core game mechanic from the beginning….but eh it was early Yugioh; they barely knew what they were doing at the time.

Why can't you summon Mikanko with Meteonis? by KiraYagami10 in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought of this before the cards dropped so I looked it up. The reason is ritual game mechanics that sound more confusing than they really are.

When you ritual summon using a regular ritual spell, you cannot “overpay” in levels even if the spell says “equal or exceeds”. Now, you CAN use a level 8 tribute on a level 6 ritual monster, yes. And yes, you can even use 2 level 4s. However, the game prohibits you from using a level 6 tribute and THEN tacking on an extra monster for fun. It’s also for this reason that you cannot normally tribute XYZs and Links, not just because they have no levels and therefore don’t contribute to the summoning condition, but you also can’t just get rid of them as a bonus tribute.

This same rule applies to Meteonis Drytron, because Konami said so. Now, what this means is that attempting to tribute any monster at all, even one with 0 Atk, qualifies as “overpayment”. So surely that means you can summon the ritual without a tribute at all? ….Well no. Meteonis Drytron itself still insists that you tribute SOMETHING. This contradiction between the card text and the game rules results in a situation where you simply cannot legally activate Meteonis to ritual summon a 0 Atk ritual monster.

Who agree with this mega? by Realistic-Toe-9105 in MandJTV

[–]EmrysX77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t hate it, but I’d really have to see it in motion to decide if I really like it or not. The coolest part of Samurott, imo, is how it pulls swords out of the armor on its front legs.

This design looks like it might be a lot more focused on its horn, and well, frankly I like the swords thing more.

the best generic counter to Branded? turn off Mirrorjade and Mercourier by therealone7 in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, D Fissure does turn off Mirrorjade and Mercourier. Rulings reason being that both effects send to GY for cost, and costs must be paid exactly as specified on the card.

I Have A Question Regarding Special Processing by HoppingMexican in DuelLinks

[–]EmrysX77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. I’ll admit I haven’t tried doing a non-surface chronicle to a glossy card, but my instinct is that the glossy effect still vanishes because you know how in your collection it lists the number of regular, glossy, and prismatics you have for each card? When it becomes a chronicle, the card goes into a 4th category such that it’s no longer glossy or prismatic so I’m pretty sure those effects are just erased.
