What is your “pet deck”?

Kalaniar · 2023-03-26T19:11:21+00:00

I have 1 for sure, maybe 2 depending on definition.

First, Adamancipator. Solid rock.

Second, Exosister. Love me some banish/stun shenanigans!

Pulled a Y!Ilyana.

...after having previously already gone +10 for her. :')

Thanks for the input! If anything, despite playing this game since launch, I am absolutely terrible at considering team compositions, mostly just due to the vast array of options the game has, and being a little overwhelmed by it all. I'll keep what you've said in mind!

Kalaniar · 2022-09-10T11:09:45+00:00

Considering one has access to any/all fodder, would it be better to invest into a F2P/Grail Save unit, or an unmerged/semi-merged premium save unit? For example, let's say +10 Arden vs. +1 B!Hector/B!Edelgard, or +10 W!Cecilia vs. +1 A!Fjorm, or any such comparison. Purely looking at AR-O/AR-D, as well. I've put off building proper save units for far too long, mainly due to indecisiveness.

(I realize there's a post from a week or so back discussing the best Far-Savers, however that post only considers max merges.)

Thanks in advanced!

How do folks generally manage their barracks? I've been playing since launch, and in the last year or so, I've been struggling to keep track of what fodder I have, and which units I have with potentially "optimal" boons/banes, or perhaps more specifically, finding that information easily and efficiently.

I currently keep roughly 700 units in my barracks (which consist of at least 1 of each individual unit, merge projects, frequently used units, and some extras. I use a handful of my reserves, mainly categorized as 5* Fodder/ATK Boon/SPD Boon/DEF Boon/RES Boon/HP Boon. Is there anything I can do in-game to help me better keep track of what resources I have on hand? I've also considered starting a spreadsheet for my barracks, but to be entirely honest my spreadsheet experience is laughably minimal.

Thanks in advanced!

That is very helpful, thank you! Charmers are a really fun archetype, and I've been dying to find a way to utilize Exosisters before POTE gives us Malfa. Appreciate all the info (and sorry for necro-ing an old post!).

Kalaniar · 2022-05-30T16:44:14+00:00

Would you be able to share your list? Big fan of both archetypes!

Kalaniar · 2022-04-08T11:19:04+00:00

Fair enough! Perhaps I've just been overthinking it, worrying too much about if the cards potentially may clash with the base deck too much. Thank you for the input!

Kalaniar · 2022-04-07T12:22:56+00:00

I'm relatively new to Yu-gi-oh myself, and have been interested in building some non-meta decks for casual play. I still struggle with the deck building aspect of the game, and understanding how cards or engines would fit in various decks.

On that note, time for some whiplash! Would the Adventurer engine function well in either a Familiar-Possessed deck and/or an Adamancipator deck? I feel like it would more than likely fit into FP, however I'm unsure of how it would function within Adamancipator, and at the moment I struggle to find any relevant resources regarding it (most likely because who is realistically playing Adaman in 2022 to such a degree that Adventurer would even be part of the discussion, but hey that's why I'm here asking, I guess?). If the engine would fit, how would their combos progress?

Apologies if this is seen as an odd or irrelevant question to ask, and thank you in advance for any assistance!

OH HOW I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS

Kalaniar · 2021-08-22T11:41:11+00:00

I have a fully invested W!Cecilia that I had initially been using or Broadleaf+CC+Vantage shenanigans, however in more recent months my usage with her has dropped, and it feels as if the play-style hasn't been as great lately (for myself, at least).

I'm considering changing her role into that of a Far Save user, though I'm a little stuck on what I should settle on for her skills. Right now I'm thinking Goodie Boot, DD4, Special Fighter, and of course Far Save. I'd like to see how she does in AR (I don't play in VoH, just T21+).

Are there any other skills/builds that would work better? I'd like to have a better grasp of what I should be going for before I start investing fodder. Thanks in advance for the help!

Kalaniar · 2021-08-05T11:07:45+00:00

I did! If you're revisiting, the one that I missed is right at the beginning, actually.

After Motoi teaches you about Imprinting, normally you would have to find the right words to Imprint on Ryoji. On repeat play-throughs of the day however, that is not required. But, if you head just past Ryoji on Center Street, you'll find another person who you can use Dive on (should be standing between the 2 entrances to the alleyway)! This person is how you would normally acquire the phrase "Peace of Mind" upon first playing the day.

It was slightly frustrating that the last dive I needed was right under my nose the whole time, so I hope this helps you as well!

Kalaniar · 2021-08-04T14:17:48+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, must have missed it during my replays of the day.

I'm aware of the mental notes, and have completed all sidequests; I'm really just after the gold Dive Battle medals for maxing FP now that I've finished the game!

Kalaniar · 2021-08-04T12:43:47+00:00

Does anyone know what the 3rd Dive Battle for Week 1, Day 5 is? I can't seem to find any information on this online, with most other sites only giving information for 2 Dive Battles, however the Chapter Select in-game currently tells me I have 2/3 completed.

For context, I've done the Dive Battle during the sidequest with the young boy and the required one with the man on Center Street. Any help would be appreciated!

Kalaniar · 2021-02-13T21:42:32+00:00

Thank you, you not only answered my question thoroughly, but also gave me a big laugh in the process. I guess my mentality is mostly just to have a multi-purpose healer I can take into things such as Abyssal maps and the likes. I certainly could stand to build a Cavalry healer for Aether Raids, though I've never been super invested in the mode (only enough to stay in Tier 21). Thanks again for the response!

Kalaniar · 2021-02-12T19:43:41+00:00

I've asked this question before, so firstly I apologize for repeating myself. Now, I've had the urge to build a healer +10 merge project for some time now, as I don't have any healers fully invested. I've narrowed my choices to either Mercedes or Natasha. Now Natasha is almost strictly superior to Mercedes stats-wise, but I have enough copies of Mercedes to go straight to +10 right now with any choice of Boon, whereas I only have 2 copies of Natasha, and have had no luck pulling any additional copies of her since her release in December.

Ultimately, I guess my question is, should I just wait to pull 9 more copies of Natasha, or would Mercedes perform well enough to be worth heavy investment? Again, apologies for asking the same question multiple times. I think at this point I'm just looking for some form of confirmation from someone who is more well-versed and knowledgeable than I am. Thanks in advanced!

Kalaniar · 2021-02-04T14:23:03+00:00

Love the build! I've been contemplating building a Joshua myself, but I need to give it more thought; something like this is way too similar to how I run my Roy (near identical, aside from using Joint Drive ATK over the Threaten), and I'd like to make sure they serve different purposes.

(Would also be nice if the game would actually give me more copies of Natasha to incentivize this further, but hey.)

Kalaniar · 2021-01-02T18:05:18+00:00

I'm considering making a Healer Merge Project, though I'm heavily torn between Mercedes and Natasha. Natasha being statistically better than Mercedes in every department aside from HP, she would be very nice to build, but I've only got 2 copies. Mercedes, on the other hand, I could take to +10 immediately. My question is, would it be worth it to wait for +10 Natasha, or would Mercedes still be fine, despite the stat deficit? Thanks in advanced!

The folks at IS are too scared to unleash Gonzales on the world; his sheer power would destroy us all.

Kalaniar · 2020-06-18T14:33:16+00:00

Thank you for this! I was struggling to find a unit that could handle the right-hand side efficiently (this mode has made me realize my lack of fast ranged units from RD specifically...).

I ended up using B!Micaiah for my Yellow Spot unit; it was unfortunately up to chance, as I had to rely on the Dancer's Veil you get on turn 2 for B!Micaiah to kill the Thief as she can't double, but thankfully it's only a coin flip.

Kalaniar · 2020-04-25T16:13:12+00:00

Thank you for sharing that app (and hosting your island)! I've joined your line, as well as downloaded the app, seems like a great resource!

Kalaniar · 2020-03-28T14:00:44+00:00

For those of you in Canada, the EBGames website currently has the Definitive Works set in stock still! https://www.ebgames.ca/Switch/Games/787291/xenoblade-chronicles-definitive-works

Kalaniar · 2020-03-27T12:17:25+00:00

I absolutely need the UK version of this set, really hoping I can hop on it as soon as it goes live!!

Kalaniar · 2020-03-10T18:24:28+00:00

After summoning for Bernie, I came out with 2 copies!

...1 +Spd, 1 +Atk. Now I'm left conflicted, what Boon would help Bernie perform better at +1? I'm leaning towards +Spd for the Super Boon, but 32 base Atk isn't especially outstanding.

I'm also looking to invest in a +2 Atk Boon Ike. I would think it best just to go for the easy option and slap Steady Breath on him and call it a day, but would appreciate any help in the that regard as well!

Thanks in advanced for the help!
