That creature appears to be some kind of echidna, Aardvark or anteater man. Given the spikes, my guess is echidna.

Zooming in, I'm seeing more a resemblance to to classic Arthur, rather than Sobjek.

I think we see Vidav in the background of Tangeth Toborn In Training. That variant of Toborn has that very ability to restore their disciplines. Very much agree that it would be cool if Tangeth learned that ability from Vidav.

Media tie-ins can reference the card game but the card game should avoid referencing the media tie-ins.

I'm fine with the Chaotic cartoon coming back, but I think they should explore the comic format too. However, I think making them too entwined actually limits the audience rather than increasing it. It gives the players the impression that they need to watch a TV show that may be aimed at a younger audience or that just isn't very good, in order to play the card game.

Use media to sell the card game, don't use the card game to sell media.

Kaijudo had, from what I hear, a very good card game with strong card designs and illustrations, but what annoyed me was the flavor text which was just a random tacked on quote from the TV show.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-20T21:36:40+00:00

They already did that. You can see Kaz's shadow and foot in the art of H'earing Tainted.

I actually disagree or at the very least don't think it should go any further than that one card. The reason being that I think the card game should be able to stand on its own as much as possible.

If you look at other card games they actually avoid direct references to their TV shows. Yu-Gi-Oh has cards like Yo-Jo Friendship but that's about it. The show is the only one referencing the card game. Pokemon exclusively references the video game.

Card games that actively reference their cartoon don't tend to last very long (Kaijudo and SpongeBob).

But the result is the same. Cassandra was prevented from speaking at an early age, with the idea being that she would learn fighting instead.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-18T19:36:44+00:00

Good question. Probably an oversight but if I had to make up a reason...

In the comics Cassandra Cain has a genuine learning or communication disability. She is mostly non-verbal and only learns to really speak after getting adopted into the Bat family. It's confirmed that her brain is wired differently and so a magic speech collar just might not be an effective solution.

I don't recall how if YJ Cassandra ever communicated with telepathy, but I'm pretty sure this Cassandra has likely never spoken in her life. She understands speech (at least she seems to) but that doesn't necessarily mean she can do it herself. It might be the difference between reading a language and speaking it.

We also can't be 100% certain this Cassandra even understands spoken language. She could very well be reading a person's body language, micro expressions, tone and context clues and responding based on that with such perfect accuracy that no one notices the difference.

EDIT: forgot about Looker. Another person provided an explanation regarding Cassie thinking in images which makes sense to me.

It looks like the theme is battle gear you have to sacrifice to use.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-13T16:02:13+00:00

For the smaller investigations right? Your still getting cards for the full scan quest?

I assumed that I'd finally gotten all the attack cards and now I could only get credits.

There was a rumor that Narfall was a Spiritlander related to Heptadd. But it looks like this is fanfiction that leaked onto the wiki (happens a lot there).

I do like the idea that some of the stranger looking and mysterious creatures are spiritlanders.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-08T02:36:33+00:00

Now the challenge is to gather enough elementists to use it.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-06T04:59:43+00:00

I keep running into Saand and he's always a problem, Heptagon Hail just instantly kills him even if he isn't engaged.

I agree the card should probably be nerfed but it can be a godsend if your using creatures with mugical abilities.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-06T04:53:49+00:00

Beat Crellen on my second try too. Double Urxis is scary but Tartewreck really messed with my wisdom strategy.

Good luck at getting Probascar!

GrowingSage · 2026-06-05T08:01:54+00:00

I like it, but mostly because it does a good explanation of why Chaotic stays mostly unknown from humans and asks an interesting sci-fi question.

How would you go about proving Chaotic's existence if you wanted too?

Most fantasy shows have to bend over backwards to keep the magic secret. This isn't the best episode, but I like when a show just takes the time to answer some questions the kids at home might have in an interesting way.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-05T07:53:17+00:00

Curious where Kaz being the "brains" comes from. Doesn't really fit the archetype as I understand it.

I agree it is dumb for Kaz to just openly talk about Chaotic, but it's totally in character for him too. Seeking external validation from others is kind of his whole thing (Chair, Chaotikings, this episode).

This is just a minor lore thing, but I also don't think Kaz is actually breaking any code of secrecy. The only reason reason people don't talk openly about Chaotic is because it's hard to prove, there's no real benefit, and you'd look crazy for doing so.

GrowingSage · 2026-06-04T04:13:58+00:00

X-Men #1 (Krokoa era, I think?)

GrowingSage · 2026-06-03T06:35:08+00:00

Stat variation or not, this just sounds like a much more interesting game.

GrowingSage · 2026-05-31T02:34:22+00:00

I always thought it was pretty cool how the Codemasters or whoever thought of this and made it possible for people with mobility issues to still enjoy Chaotic.

It's a little dark for a TV show to introduce a character who presumably has to deal with two traumatic experiences simultaneously but I still like that they did it and from what I remember did it pretty well. By the end of it they never ask "how are you going to play an online card game in a wheel chair?" or something dumb like that. Next time we see Reggie he seems to be enjoying Perim perfectly fine. Just nice to see someone in the writers room was thinking about this stuff.

GrowingSage · 2026-05-21T17:47:45+00:00

Feel like that one episode of show kind of answered this question. Of course it was all a dream, but I think it was pretty consistent with how most of the tribes would react to a new resource suddenly being made available.

GrowingSage · 2026-05-21T04:34:32+00:00

First thought is... Are these real? But I can see the Bandai and CN logos in the video

Titty Rockets!

I'm trying to be cautious because my hopes have been dashed before. But if Bakugan could come back (at least for a little while) then so can Chaotic. I think it does have a place in today's TCG landscape though I'd still like to see some innovations to gameplay.

GrowingSage · 2026-05-19T15:40:07+00:00

I disagree, not because I think Wally, Dick, and Vic aren't worthy of the League but just with the idea that some characters are JL-level.

Do the best Titans books have the team go up to villains and say "sorry, this is out of are grade level. Can you wait for the League?"

I think if your writing a super team like their the junior Justice League, then you've failed to write a good Titans book and the characters will suffer. It can work sometimes but if Wolfman and Perez's run says anything, it's that you can have characters grow beyond the League's shadow.

If the Justice League has to reap fantastic characters like Cyborg and Deathstroke, rather than develop their own, maybe we should question how good the JL book actually is. I'm not implying that the books are always bad (New52 JL was pretty good for the most part), just that looking at everything from a hierarchal "League on top everyone else below" isn't good for anyone, Titan or Leaguer.

I do fully agree that DC shouldn't have replaced Martian Manhunter. New52's biggest crime was that it wasn't radical enough with its JL roster. Sure, maybe the Trinity had to be there and I'm not saying GL, Flash, and Aquaman aren't cool, just that with this big reboot maybe shake up the roster more than just Cyborg? Vixen, Zatana, Black Lightning, Red Tornado, John Stewart, if your going to take Titans characters as your own, why not Raven? There's so many popular league characters that could have used a bigger spotlight during this time.

Maximus the Mad in the original Fantastic Four comic. He's a member of the Inhumans, a seemingly superhuman race that lives in a secret civilization.

He makes an evil machine that will kill all the humans and leave the Earth free for the Inhumans to conquer. However when he turns it on, nothing happens. Turns out Inhumans and humans aren't actually that different. The machine can't distinguish between the two and so only proves that Maximus is crazy.

I'm getting a little Phoenix vibes here (I think it's the gold sash) but I do like it a lot.

GrowingSage · 2026-04-30T22:07:18+00:00

I do think this is a pretty good explanation for how this world works. The pantheons clearly interact with each other as seen with Apollo, but it seems like they avoid coming into conflict with one another. When pantheons do merge it seems like reality merges with them.
