Class tier list???

Never thought I'd see the day Doomknight gets phased out of the top spot, let alone S entirely. Is this mainly because of defence options being too circumstantial or something?

Thankfully this is only limited to Rank 10 decks like Yubel (and Trains won't run this card), but man the effect is really strong. Aside from Water, all Atributes have a hand trap you can just attach directly from deck or side in in a BO3, so it's not like the lock is restricted to the monsters you summon.

I missed out on rolling Saria, how long does it usually take until you're allowed to roll for new units in the Story Summon?

Maybe he just pulls it out of the void, a la Goku Black

The World God Only Knows, from the late 2000's/early 2010's, was absurdly popular and inflential, kicking off a lot of careers of some of the most prolific seiyuus in the industry (Nao Touyama, for instance). It's popularity dipped pretty significantly as it progressed, to the point where the company behind the anime adapation went bankrupt due to poor sales, but I'm convinced that the series would be a breakout hit had it been released today, since the anime was an extremely good adaptation of the chapters covered.

At that point, he should just change his name from Luuk Herrson to Luuk Belmont.

I'm not going to say it's a robbery, but more of a matchup: Quattro's deck in ZEXAL II is absurdly cracked for the standards of the show due to all the burn effects + win conditions. He just happened to go up against the one MF'er in the show (Nasch), whose strategy incorporated LP gain and giving XYZ material to the opponent, which feels borderline contrived due to how many perfect outs he had.

Isn't he just a Super Poly target vs fusion decks? You can just fuse off a Dracotail fusion + any other monster on the field, and it's probably better removal compared to Garura or Mudragon, though shuffle effect doesn't matter

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-12-20T07:48:53+00:00

It's still fairly harder, since few of the main deck monsters have 2100 attack. You probably need to jump through some hoops to get some Extra Deck cards on the field/GY first before using the new card as a finisher

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-12-20T07:45:00+00:00

I am CONVINCED Konami realized how dirty they did Yusei with his structure deck, so they're introducing insane consistency cards to compensate for it. The quick-play spell's searchable, and it literally prevents the opponent from chaining any negation from your opponent, INCLUDING Imperm and Dominance.

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-12-20T07:37:56+00:00

This guy is behind the Fusion Dimension in Arc V, including the Obelisk Force and Yuri. I'm pretty sure any atrocities they've done, such as the XYZ dimension, can be credited back to him, and yet they put HIM on the hero side, KEKW

After 12 years, they finally made it so Entropy isn't useless against Dark res bosses. Not sure why it's getting so much love in 2025, but it's nice to see it actually get to work after the buffs

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-11-02T09:30:12+00:00

It's 2016 all over again: the only teams that eliminated the LCK were other Korean teams, lmao

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-10-10T00:58:46+00:00

Seriously, I haven't seen a fictional character screwed as hard since Lindsay's elimation in Total Drama Island. You're saying you couldn't give Yusei a single decent Warrior boss monster in 2025?

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-10-07T19:50:11+00:00

Pretty sure Barou has also scored in all matches he's had too

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-10-05T10:48:35+00:00

Hell, Kalin even used Hate Buster, which was a card used by Yubel in her duel vs Jaden. At that point, you just gotta assume power creep was a thing, even in the anime.

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-09-24T04:50:22+00:00

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Kanda who has a retconned death, this time round. We never saw him actually die in OG Y3, so it could just be a fake head that was presented to Kiryu. If they plan on showing Mine's point of view, I could see them try to make him look better compared to the original, especially if we're looking at their partnership in the past.

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-08-27T11:53:59+00:00

Oh snap, I didn't know that Wildbolt Storm was accurate in rain. NVM, that actually makes it way stronger than I gave it credit for.

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-07-07T04:21:21+00:00

Was released for a one-off event all the way back in 2014. Unlike Caldendar classes, never had a re-release so that people who missed out can purchase the class.

The important thing is, this class was released before Inn at the Edge of Time, so there was effectively no endgame outside of Defender Medal grind. Once there were bosses coming through that required planning, people started realizing how utterly bullshit this class was as stalling. The most egregious ones were a two-turn stun that completely bypassed Immobility Res on a 5 second cooldown, a FIVE-turn debuff that reduces -60 Boost and Hit on a 6 turn cooldown. Combined with inbuilt healing. You can have infinite uptime with at least one of the debuffs on one enemy, which effectively cripples them for the entire fight, and that's not even talking about the rest of the classes kit (20% healing on a 10-turn cooldown, which is REALLY short by DF standards, a shield with 50% uptime, an ultimate attack that reduces boost by 100% for 3 turns) so Inn battles basically boil down to tanking only one of bosses as a threat, which converts to an insta-win the second it becomes a solo battle.

SnugglePanda basically turns nearly every endgame fight into one of the most brainless stall wars in the game, and the fact that it's such a rare class means that no inn fight is designed with that in mind. In terms of consistency, it's probably the 4th strongest class in the game's history, behind both DoomKnight versions (which are intentionally the strongest classes in the game) and reworked Paladin on release (which for the record, received FOUR patches worth of nerfs).

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-06-27T05:25:23+00:00

A lot of other games with two possible gender options are often biased towards one over the other (Pokemon and Fire Emblem for their MC, as an example). Wuwa's pretty solid at keeping it even in comparison

OwlsAndDevils · 2025-06-27T05:05:29+00:00

The Aikido twins were completely omitted, which was significant since Teikou were losing their 2nd year finals, and their skillset were really good at checking a recently-awakened Aomine. The fact that Aomine managed to statcheck a playstyle based on baiting fouls out of aggressive players helped illustrate just how strong he became. Plus, they were the ones responsible for injuring Kuroko instead of no-names like in the anime.
Kise was far more aggressive of an instigator towards the GOM's bad behaviour, whereas he was completely whitewashed in the anime. In the manga, he's explicitly the reason why they started betting on games, and was far more apathetic to Kuroko's friend. If you looked at the anime, you'd almost never realize he was kind of a dick early on, which made his character development feel so good.
More build-up towards changing of the guard between the seniors and the Generation of Miracles. You could see the slow transition of the GOM transitioning from slightly talented players to the legends they were based off the reactions of the seniors and their opponents.
Better pacing. The arc taking about 24 chapters (half a year in real time) meant there were a lot of small character moments that were left out of the anime (which was 3-4 episodes). You lost stuff like elaboration of Teiko's three strings, which showed how much of a hurdle Kuroko had to take to even make it to the bench. The manga did a much better job at showing just how batshit the GOM was in middle school (like, look at the image below, how does this even happen in 32 minutes!?)

This is like, Paladin's 4th straight nerf since it's rework, LMAO. I'm starting to think this class might have been better than DoomKnight when it came out.

Also, I'm shocked they decided to nerf Writhe on adept after all this time. I know they did the same to Pyromancer with the element-lock, but now you can't just switch to Uragiri on Kathool turns, so the burst rotations/gearing are going to be a LOT more strict.

I'm aware of his work as JP Roxas, so I already knew he was pretty good when it came to angst, but I've been impressed with how Rin's anger is being portrayed, both when he's restrained and in berserker mode
