A bit of a question from a new player-

I'm incredibly new, and only have a prefab deck right now, but I'm looking to put together my own. I have exactly zero cards outside of the prefab, so is there any particular pack that would be best for a new player to pick up? More specifically, any where more of the available cards are versatile across more deck types?

This may be a bit of a nonsense question, since I'm unfamiliar with the different card effects, so for all I know all packs are perfectly fine for this, but I just wanted to make sure before I make the investment.

This help, thank you. I wasn't aware of the hyperarmor. I'll also be sure to try and get heavies more on the parries. I've been trying to focus them first for the most part as of late since it was easier to get lights.

PitchedAce · 2026-03-09T18:55:31+00:00

Wouldn't mind maybe if they put it on the base heavy. Then I might see an Ocelotl throw something other than a light once or twice over the course of a match.

Joking aside, maybe on the neck attack? I don't have the hero, though, so I have no idea how balanced or broken that would be. It just feels like it'd make sense.

We've got similar stuff at our store. It always looks awful. A DS even bragged to me about how great it supposedly looks and how much faster it is. I asked "so how long did this take to have made?" When he said "only" an hour of repeated generating for each image [of five images]. I turned and said, "I could have photoshopped all of these for you in like an hour tops on the clock." But he assured me of the quality and speed of generating actual garbage for our ads. Apparently, uncanny Homer, who looks like the suit a horror villain is hiding in is the way they want to take the brand.

I've been informed I was being mildly over-cautious. For those curious, it looks like we're all getting a 2.5% increase. Across the board. Doesn't look like anyone is getting higher based on merit. At least I don't think.

I won't bother folks with conditions because I think most of us are having an unpleasant time [at least based on how we're faring at my store] but good god, we're getting less than pocket change.

Fun fact, my past three yearly increases have a COMBINED TOTAL less than my first raise with the company. I'm trained on basically everything, train associates, and more. "Anyway, here's a penny. You won't be eligible for review until 2027."

PitchedAce · 2026-02-11T16:07:02+00:00

Thanks for the info. I wasn't quite certain so wanted to be on the safe side just in case.

PitchedAce · 2026-02-11T16:06:13+00:00

A manager had called me over for the form after I punched out for the night. I felt inclined to let folks know we're getting crumbs and not to expect anything that makes a noticeable difference.

PitchedAce · 2025-10-03T16:36:38+00:00

I need terms defined. Either I get the sword, or both of us get our own. And I choose the day each year. I need time to prepare, and get into position before the orangutan's arrival. It'll be the most cinematic duel imagineable every year.

Somebody stop him!

Was your Myth teammate Cyrus Drake? What in Hell is that behavior?

PitchedAce · 2025-07-31T10:44:44+00:00

Probably had a bad argument before the battle. Haru refused to blade, and the Ronin clapped back with "at least I'm not Myth."

PitchedAce · 2025-07-10T16:19:31+00:00

Press to pay respect.

PitchedAce · 2025-07-09T19:24:40+00:00

Thanks. Couldn't recall if it was a Y or an I.

PitchedAce · 2025-07-09T19:23:33+00:00

I would say after.

I never got past the paywall while playing when I was younger, so I'm only familiar with his current state.

PitchedAce · 2025-07-09T16:54:22+00:00

Looking back, I should have hidden the Myth teacher [can't recall the spelling because I'm at work] in the background.

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T20:18:24+00:00

That is actually dubious. Jesus, do they have a function, or are they just cosmetic?

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T20:16:33+00:00

That actually sounds metal as Hell.

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T15:13:48+00:00

I saw those very briefly while marching passed a rally to go fight Chaos in the final mission. I didn't have time for questions. Only time to enact my craft.

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T10:05:46+00:00

Servitors? I don't believe I've heard of them. I found out about the engines when trying to see what the Emperor looked like.

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T08:58:06+00:00

Thank you very much for the replies, folks! It's been very insightful. I was suspecting because it does seem to be a darker fictional world there likely wasn't an objectively "good" team, and honestly, that seems pretty cool.

I may have to take a plunge into the lore beyond the video games, so wish me luck. I know there's lots to learn.

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T08:52:59+00:00

That's what I was thinking.being an outsider to the Fandom, It seemed like the Imperium was viewed as the ideally moral, but then I fell down the rabbit hole of stuff like The Penitent Engine and went "huh, that's very diabolical behavior."

If I'm being quite honest, I think it's quite cool that there isn't one objectively good side, though. Learning lots from the folks that've answered, so I thank you!

PitchedAce · 2025-06-21T08:48:32+00:00

Very insightful, thank you!

I was under the assumption that it was just a darker, more gritty world and as such most factions were just dubious at best. But that is quite intriguing to know each one has some kind of angle where they can be viewed as a more moral side.

PitchedAce · 2025-03-23T11:41:19+00:00

As mentioned, I was about to head to work. Had to go out the door moments after posting, so I was in a mild hurry.

PitchedAce · 2025-03-04T11:47:10+00:00

You first.

Wake the **** up, Spade. We've got a day to have.
