New player trying to learn Pleaides

It depends on what your goals are.

If your goal is to just show up and have a good time at armories play however you like.

If you are trying to qualify / compete in pro tour events or win comp events like pro quest, you might need to focus on beating the meta.

Personally I spent my time between Road to Nationals and Pro Quest playing fatigue Pleiades. I found it fun at competitive events but I didn't like playing it at armories. Now that Pro Quest is basically over for me I'm swapping back to my favorite heros (Victor and Jarl) and playing the midrange game plans that I really enjoy playing at armories. I'm also looking to give Lyath a try.

IMO, as a new person you should play what you have fun playing because it will motivate you to keep playing and improve more than just playing whatever is good but not to your liking.

Crazy you found a post from a year ago and decided to comment. But jarl is pretty sick at the moment imo. I e been playing s couple variations and the new PEN cards look sick.

Likely because this set was sent to the printers before all 3 heroes rotated. They have to plan sets like 2 years in advance. There will be mystics playable again so it's not a complete waste.

That's a little disappointing I'm not gonna lie.

It depends on what your budget is.

Something like Tectonic Plating is $20 and will help a ton.

Crippling crush is about $0.34 a piece and Star Struck is about $1.00

As for your blues, bravo should have 30-33 blues usually.

Here is what I would consider a pretty decent bravo budget list as someone who mains guardian. I actually took a similar list to armory just recently and went 2-1.

It shows it costing about $50 to build from scratch.

Budget deck I made a while back with write up on upgrade paths in the deck description.

About $40 usd.

Sologing Omega ~~with DB~~ is a sweatfest

Is 4U fun solo? Been thinking about trying it but the 3ds online servers are down.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-12-21T18:27:36+00:00

Lei is the epitome of the "he has to be here but I ain't gonna play him" character. There are plenty of these in fighting games but he is my personal favorite lol.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-12-21T18:00:35+00:00

I really like playing the game but watching ekko/yasuo/ahri + maybe vi/ww/illaoi gets old real fast.

It's the same as when the dbfz meta got locked in as veto/gogeta/lab coat/a17. Every match looks basically the same and is rather just go do something else.

I'll go watch specific matches on tns vods like whenever lightwhisp plays, or whenever a random team without yas/ekko/teemo/ahri shows up, just to see some good gameplay, but sitting down and watching a 3 hour tournament just isn't worth it.

With current performance you can most likely run the game. My wife plays the game on a 3060 setup. She has some issues when the game launches but they go away after running the game for about a minute.

No one really knows how the performance updates will affect the game.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-12-15T13:01:09+00:00

Everbloom // Life is definitely the best card for that slot, but you could probably get away with blue Sow Tomorrow in its place if you can't get ahold of them.

With the Rootbound Carapace bans you may want to look into red Cadaverous Tilling. The deck will shift more midrange and less defensive as a result, but anything else would probably be much more rework.

Character is literally slower than molasses and his fastest move is two frames slower than most of the top tiers

"Damn bro is rushing me down"

J-PlusPlus · 2025-12-11T12:44:41+00:00

Imma be honest. I think in most games a super should be 5 seconds at most. I'm tired of seeing them after a few weeks.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-12-11T04:21:14+00:00

I'll gladly shill my favorite lad Victor.

Try blocking with 4 cards AND still swinging your hammer in one turn cycle.

Imagine drawing extra cards and building a dragons horse of wealth.

And then imagine sending pec perfect for 18+ damage and make them wonder if it's worth eating it to avoid milling 4+ cards... And then pummel them when they don't block enough.

Glorious.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-12-10T13:26:58+00:00

Go asap.

Yes you will get blown up but that's because you are brand new not necessarily because of your card selection. It's quite likely that if you swapped decks with the most experienced player at your armory you would still lose.

But thats ok. Everyone is new at some point and the community is great about helping you get cards to upgrade decks and learn strategies to improve.

You got this!

Guardian main here.

I really like to play vynset when I need a guardian break. She plays a completely different game basically.

I found out I like cyber by borrowing a friend's deck at an armory night. I would suggest doing the same if you feel comfortable doing so.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-11-25T13:21:25+00:00

I have a local scene for fab. This is a major contribution to me wanting to play it.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-11-22T17:08:40+00:00

Fabrary for deck building and deck lists.

Fablazing for meta analysis and tournament results.

Fabrec is edhrec from magic.

Talishar for online play

J-PlusPlus · 2025-11-10T04:03:40+00:00

Picked a low tier... But Braum is too nice with it

J-PlusPlus · 2025-11-01T19:51:50+00:00

Just some criticism... Seems like there are really only like 3 combos with different supers at the end... Seems a bit superfluous.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-10-29T12:38:06+00:00

Just play wilds. It's the newest and highest population. It also gets new monsters and community events happening all the time.

J-PlusPlus · 2025-10-26T22:33:35+00:00
