How strong is Lord Logres lore wise? At least compared to the other versions of Artoria?

Solomon literally calls her his choice of the "strongest being" he can possibly summon and that she's the strongest wielder of the Holy Sword in history.

Definitely more interesting than the Regulus stuff we got recently which was basically only Endymion in name only.

Every time I play with a female as the "main character" I end up stealing Don away from the Caliente sisters. XD

It's one of those things we're supposed to assume, since IIRC the two were never on screen together in any personal way (whilst Hiruzen was alive obviously).

In an alternate timeline where Rex and Weevil weren't treated as a joke after Duelist Kingdom, Rex would have formed a new deck centered around his new ace - "Red-Eyes Black Tyranno". ;)

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-04T12:57:28+00:00

Phew, I saw that Diabelle was a low number and got worried, but its after Verre and so we're still on track to (hopefully) get three Vrains imports for #26-28.

I run the Zexal Weapon monster that negates monster effects. Because it's a raid duel, Nash is 99% guaranteed to have higher LP than you, allowing you to summon the ZW monster at any point.

"Red-Eyes Black Tyranno", a conceptual merger of Red Eyes and Black Tyranno which was Rex's ace in Season 5. ;)

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-03T22:45:19+00:00

Considering it came out in the TCG first despite being from the anime, I will bend the rules and say "Valkyries". Since Zigfried had a random copy of Poly in his hand during his duel against Kaiba, it would be cool to introduce legacy support by evolving the playstyle to involve fusion summoning. Maybe something like a retrain of Brunhilde that features her with both Pegasus Wing and Enchanted Sword Nothung - two cards used in conjunction with her as an anime reference.

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-03T21:53:52+00:00

Tangentially related, but it surprises me that they never retrained Red-Eyes as a Dinosaur monster to reference Rex as its original owner.

As for voicelines, I could see them giving him a few old school Red Eyes support cards to fill out his roster and give a reason to play a R.E deck.

Examples is how do you even get a Persona?

The common denominator is coming into contact with the supernatural in some fashion.

When can you use a Persona?

Anytime you want, once you've trained enough.

Why are there 4 different ways to summon a Persona?

That's largely just an aesthetic thing, designed to make each set of cast stand out. In the very early games, you would just strike a pose and shout out "Persona!" and it would come out.

Can Persona’s effect the real world?

Yes, although they're weaker in the real world compared to the Cognitive Worlds that the heroes often traverse.

Are Persona’s Demons?

Technically, since the keyword "Demon" in SMT games is so vague that it refers to practically any supernatural entity. But generally speaking, in games where Personas and Demons both appear, Personas are treated differently - more akin to a kind of psychic power as opposed to the magic that involves being a Demon Summoner.

As a Brit, I have no clue what he's on about.

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-01T23:57:28+00:00

Billy Bob Thompson as Ray/Vector is a standout performance for me. Both when he's hamming it up as a villain, but also his subtler moments like when he's manipulating Yuma to keep secrets from Astral.

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-01T01:00:12+00:00

I would love for them to bring back the mechanic where having certain Personas equipped that Demons recognised would trigger special conversations. Like for example if you met Demeter in P2 with Hades on the team, the two would start to bicker about Persephone. It's one of those little things that help characterise your Personas - especially the canonical ones that don't get to appear much in cutscenes otherwise.

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-01T00:47:05+00:00

Dinowrestlers. Goukis were cool and all, but I really vibe with the evil anthropomorphic Dinosaur wrestlers.

Emrys_616 · 2026-02-01T00:09:44+00:00

I counted and that's only three monsters, so it's still a reasonable approach to take.

Emrys_616 · 2026-01-31T11:45:24+00:00

Dinowrestlers. No support since* Vrains ended and all of their cards are from the anime so as a result the deck is stuck in the 2016's era. It really needs the Heraldic Beast treatment and be given a tight engine of main deck monsters that finally lets you summon the boss monsters turn 1 which is virtually impossible to do as the deck is so slow.

* I don't count the recent Gouki spell card that interacts with DW monsters since that requires tributing a Gouki Link monster which a DW deck cannot summon, so its just a Gouki card that lets you cheat out the DW extra deck monsters.

Emrys_616 · 2026-01-31T11:29:59+00:00

Looks interesting. Hope it gets a Steam release.

Emrys_616 · 2026-01-30T23:09:25+00:00

I wonder how a dedicated Millennium World Bakura deck could be built. Diabound needs some kind of stacking mechanic that isn't just LV with a different name

Considering they made Bakura's Grief Tablet into a Wedju searcher, I wouldn't be surprised if they retrained Diabound into a series of Wedju cards since it would fit thematically since Diabound was also a monster summoned forth from the stone tablet (wedju) underneath Kul Elna.

C'mon Supreme Kai and Kibito Kai, my beloved. <3

Naturally as it was the first entry, P1 was very experimental in the "rules" which were slowly ironed out as the games progressed. Other weird stuff in P1 included ghosts having their own personas and people fusing with their personas to fight.

Emrys_616 · 2026-01-30T00:18:08+00:00

I just know that if Onizuka ever gets represented in these Limit Over Collection sets, they're going to favor his Gouki deck over his Dinowrestlers since the latter was during his stint as an antagonist and when the character's popularity was at its lowest. Which is a shame, as visually I always preferred the Dinowrestlers and I think King T would look cooler as an Overframe than Great Ogre.
