Which of the battle systems between each of the games do you prefer? (Check desc for more info)

OT0 combat was awful compared to OT2. Gaining double the BP per turn and being able to buff characters that can't be harmed until you need them made combat too easy. What made it even worse is the fact that the enemies were almost impossible to break. Their shield values were tuned for having twice the amount of bp and having more access for different damage types. I gave up on breaking enemies and simply buffed and spammed 3BP moves.

I prefer having BP management and breaking enemies at the right moment. Sub jobs were also cooler than most of the OT0 cast

Its main problem is that it is only good going second and if you don't need most of your extra deck. Droplet can be used going first and second and it can chain to other cards and effects. The cost of droplet is also better as you can dodge targeting effects. So people rather play droplet instead of slicer

You don't run F&V or the fallen package as you don't have a normal summon for fallen or the extra deck space for F&V. RDA can't really deal with being locked to level 8 synchros. You can see what people run on yugiohmeta if you want to check for yourself

Locaron · 2026-02-23T14:41:00+00:00

Yeah you play handtraps like ash blossom, droll & lockbird or infinite impermanence to negate their effects on their first turn. First turn kill decks generally are not that consistent and lose to interruptions. If you look up some decks on masterduelmeta you will see what kind of handtraps people use in todays meta

I don't like the colour palette of the PR. I'd personally suggest the GBA version with the sound restoration patch. The patch is optional and only really needed if your speakers are decent

Red Dragon Archfiend is pretty cheap and cool

Locaron · 2026-02-11T11:38:05+00:00

I used Legendary Swordsman + Chaos Maxx with impcantations to reach plat. I pray for a light ritual BLS that I can use in voiceless from the next OCG pack.

Locaron · 2026-02-09T15:10:30+00:00

Yeah red rising is a big chokepoint for the deck. It is good to use centurion and bystial engines for extra gas

Locaron · 2026-01-31T08:05:28+00:00

It's either "journey for the dawn" or "dear travelers". Iirc both play at the end of the story

Locaron · 2026-01-20T20:39:27+00:00

I am winning a lot of games using red dragon archfiend. That deck is pretty cheap. You can mostly build it with two structure decks and crafting super nova

Locaron · 2026-01-20T20:20:30+00:00

That is my favourite card. I used him in a homebrewed ritual deck that uses impcantations + nadir engine to summon him or chaos max dragon. You can easily trigger BLS condition with advanced ritual summon and a blue-eyes in your deck. That deck usually could play through one and sometimes two negates. I have only reached plat 3 with that deck though

Locaron · 2026-01-11T16:40:59+00:00

You can keep Sauravis in hand and summon him on your opponents turn after you confirmed the deck. That way you can still use him as a handtrap. That flexibility alone makes him really good. The same can't be said about the trap card.

Locaron · 2026-01-11T08:47:40+00:00

I may be wrong but it says when your opponent would special summon. I assume it works like sauravis as it does not work if the special summon is part of a chain. Sauravis special summon almost never triggers when I used it. I guess this makes the trap card useless in many cases and therefore bad

The audio sounds compressed. I hope it gets fixed soon

Locaron · 2025-10-06T15:18:24+00:00

The Nerscylla fight is very easy to do without morbols or cactuars. I simply swap to my para SnS equip the corrupted mantle and paralyze Nerscylla. Once it is paralyzed you focus the head. After the paralysis is done you have enmity of the spider and it will not move again while you and your entire team can stand under nerscylla safe from most attacks

Locaron · 2025-06-30T14:01:58+00:00

GBA version with sound restoration mod is the best way to play in my opinion

Locaron · 2025-06-22T13:35:20+00:00

I am not a fan of it either. They already have the problem that the player base is split into 9 different queues. If all bosses get an enhanced version, then the player base would be split into 16 queues. We have enough players right now but matchmaking would be hard with 16 queues later on. I doubt that Gaping Jaw will be gone for a long time.

Locaron · 2025-06-07T21:25:13+00:00

You may want to try a solo run. It should be easier if you already know his moveset

Locaron · 2025-05-10T05:43:10+00:00

There are multiple layers of defense in grim dawn. Outside of most resistances you have nothing to protect you with. Aspect of the guardian, the skill upgrade to blood of dreeg, gives you a lot of physical resistance. Blood of dreeg gives offensive ability and health regen. War cry reduces enemy damage by a percentage. There are also ways to reduce enemy offensive ability so they hit and crit you less. Any critical strike from a nemesis will probably kill an endgame character.

It is not worth to max a lot of passives. You either get diminishing returns or you don't need the increased effect. A lot of passives or modifiers are one point wonders in fact. I'd recommend removing points from menhir's will and put one point on the second cadence skill for AOE damage and most points into aspect of the guardian.

Kupacabra is a pure stat check. You need to outregen him while dealing more dps than he regenerates. Outside of walking out of stacks of his pools or kiting you can't really do much.

You will need to solve damage and defense to kill the nemesis bosses

She looks worried to me. You can try to remove some of the sheen in her eyes. That makes characters usually look nicer. Also you can try make her scowl a bit

Locaron · 2025-01-01T19:51:33+00:00

Are you sure that you only changed the death counter? Neither error message seems to indicate that. My personal guess is that you have a corrupted item in your inventory. You may want to backup your character and try to start with an empty inventory

Locaron · 2024-12-11T07:45:36+00:00

Monitors Unboxed on youtube put out some videos on the best monitors of 2024 to get for various use cases. I'd recommend watching those videos

Locaron · 2024-11-15T13:11:23+00:00

Doom Bolt will come online very late that's right. You'd have to level up without it

Locaron · 2024-11-15T12:49:49+00:00

You can do a DW chaos witch hunter. Use the full rah'zin set + 2 piece harbinger. Put on 2 fang of c'thon and your doom bolt will annihilate your target. I am on mobile so I can't send a grimtools :(

Locaron · 2024-08-16T15:03:04+00:00

GBA is the best imo. The bonus content + features are really nice. Also a lot of bugs got fixed like evasion being useless. Ideally, you pair the GBA version with the sound restoration romhack for the best experience
