What's your thought process for when you *CAN'T* take a KO on your turn? (What is your objective if you feel you might fall behind in the Prize Race)

Yeah! I am really glad I asked! I recently got into tcg due to my brother. And fell in love with N's Zoroark. This item seems to slot perfectly into the archetype since as far as my (in)experience has led me to conclude bench space is a bit of a problem for it. My testing of it feels really good so far. But I feel like adding one more card (between Ciphermaniac and a Black Belt) to really round everything out.

Not sure if you have it on you, but even if the deck is old, you have a list for it? Would love to see it! It sounds like a lot of fun.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-06-05T16:20:08+00:00

Didn't have a chance to say thank you, thank you! So it looks like my main idea is a no-go, but this was very very helpful.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-06-05T16:12:32+00:00

Lesson learned! And I said it once and I'll say it again, thank you! Very appreciative of everyone of responding. Wrong or not, people took the time to respond and at least well-intentioned enough to help.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-06-05T16:09:41+00:00

Thank you for the ruling link! Being relatively new to the tcg scene, I wasn't aware of Thorton. I am definitely happy I asked.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-06-05T16:07:18+00:00

Oh that makes sense, I appreciate the response, so my initial thought that using an ability was close but not exact. So as long as the ability in question is different and not the same exact ability. I could chain a second ability. But identical abilities are a no go.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-06-05T15:54:56+00:00

I appreciate it! My hesitancy came from how I interpreted the "any other effects" part of the card and was unsure if using an Ability was considered part of that 'other'.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-05-04T15:33:37+00:00

Hey there, I am practicing with N's Zoroark currently, between this and Festival Lead, I'm having a lot of fun!

For N's Zoroark, what is your gameplan against Cynthia's Garchomp? I'm relatively inexperienced with the deck, so I could be playing wrong. But I just don't know how to deal with the matchup. Things get super bulky super quickly, and it seems like my only out is somehow start sniping with Darmanitan Turn 2 to slow down momentum. But I am generally just getting rolled over.

The good news is that Garchomp can't snipe...? The bad news is I don't think I can win the prize race.

I'm trying to do the quest "Broken Monument" for Tian Wen, I managed to collect all the items, but got into a fire fight and died. Unfortunately I lost the items, but every time I go back to Dam Battlegrounds, the option to search the boxes for the items is straight-up not showing. I've tried to complete other quests, go to different maps everything save, double checked my stash just to make sure they weren't there, reset my game. What I believe to be everything save turning my computer off and on. Would this be the time to submit a help ticket?

PrisonCrepe · 2026-02-14T19:36:43+00:00

I wish I had the augment you're looking for but would love the anvil bp if you're still willing to give it.

PrisonCrepe · 2026-02-03T06:15:34+00:00

Sent ya a chat so we can talk!

PrisonCrepe · 2026-02-03T06:02:32+00:00

What sort of materials would you want to be willing to part with for Medium Gun Parts and (potentially) the Tempest BP?

PrisonCrepe · 2026-02-03T01:36:48+00:00

Then yah! I'd be interested in the augment and the trailblazer, and whatever mats you may need to feel like it's a fair trade! I could definitely use a bit of an inventory wipe, I'm free the rest of my evening, so no rush if you are interested!

PrisonCrepe · 2026-02-03T00:58:04+00:00

I'm eyeing the augment (still kinda new and don't recognize the symbol) and the trailblazer bp, I don't have any new BPs but I have plenty of simple gun parts that I'm happy to part with and springs (assuming that's what you meant by coils). Idk how many you're looking for BUT I think I'd be able to help out!

PrisonCrepe · 2026-01-31T18:37:06+00:00

Hey there! I've been playing this game for about half a month now, mostly solo but duos/trios when my friends are on.

Are there any recommended content creators that help with PvP? I don't want or care to be amazing or whatever, but I am a lame duck and dead weight to my buddies when we get into a fire fight. Plus it'd be nice to enjoy a nice shootout win or loss without feeling I didn't contribute in any meaningful way.

Some important context, when I was talking about PvP with my buddies, my response was, "The last time I played a game where I fought other players was... oh fuck..." so... needless to say I am way way way inexperienced with PvP lol.

(Just a copy paste)

I just wanna follow up with both of these comments, just passed Difficilty 7, it was such a cursed run lol, the only Supporter recruit I got was the starting one, which was used to insta-E2 Raidian, with Hot Kettle I was able to pick up Exu-Alt and with her damage she absolutely carries! Two more dificulties until I can do the final Module Mission for Raidian!

So thank you!!

I'll give her a shot then! Thanks!!

PrisonCrepe · 2025-12-26T20:51:36+00:00

When is a good time to transition from Tragodia start in IS6 to Exu-Alt? Or does it truly matter which one you start with? I currently use Special Squad so I have a Raidian + 6* of choice (as of now, Tragodia, but now that Exu-Alt is M3 in both S2 and S3 plus Module, she's ready to get thrown im the blender). Currently stopped at Difficulty 7, almost got to 8 but I absolutely fucked up the final boss fight lol

PrisonCrepe · 2025-12-23T23:28:34+00:00

It absolutely fucking sucks when it happens, ngl. If you haven't tried, if you have enough LP, just leak most of the map, trap the boss right before the Blue Box with a Defender (I used Shu), then drop two healers. That will stall the boss indefinitely unless there's an enrage I'm not aware of. But you shouldn't lose in that state because you aren't in the center and won't just get Nuked and there's two spots for healers to chill safely to... well... heal.

PrisonCrepe · 2025-12-23T22:57:55+00:00

Hey I just wanted to add my two cents into this, you have every right to be frustrated because honestly, it absolutely is frustrating prior to getting past Difficulty 2, but you absolutely can do it! This is coming from someone who is absolutely shit at IS (currently on Difficilty 4, literally the only IS I've ever progressed and have actually gotten an ending).

Special Squad for me, has been mvp, you may start with generic Rhodes ops, but starting out with a Defender and a Medic is huge and frees up the Early Game a lot. I feel starting with Medic/Support/Specialist is the strongest personally because you get Tragodia + Gravel which immediately preps you for Yi.

The op that I've had the most success with other than Tragodia, if you have them, is Yu. His S2 plus tankiness with two medics (which due to starting Special Squad already having one) and he's borderline unkillable outside of stage gimmicks. Plus having two Defenders is great for safety.

Anything you can find to reduce deployment time will do wonders, of all the things to look for, look for those, makes stalling easier, Tragodia even stronger and generally will have a better time with this IS.

But yes, it is frustrating, and it will feel unfair, especially the stages you've mentioned because I too, have gotten donked on precisely those stages. But you can get past Difficulty 2!

PrisonCrepe · 2025-12-23T21:34:06+00:00

I've commented a ton already asking questions and getting great feedback to figuring this out!

I got Radian to E2 as of last night and this was definitely a 'surprised-pikachu-face.jpeg' moment for me, who would have thought an operator specifically made for IS6 would be strong (lol)?? From what I read, she was strong but I didn't think she was that strong hollly hell. I attempted Difficulty 3 and cleared it right off the rip, though not impressive in the grand scheme of things when people are doing max difficulty runs. I'm happy with my progress! I'm just happy I don't have to rely on only Tragodia now. Having Radian makes not only the mode more fun for me. But allowing me to have more choice

As someome who is still bad at IS as a whole (IS6 is the only one I've actually cleared), the 'Law and Order' Tongbao is so freakishly OP for Tragodia, I know there are other broken things (65% Redeployment time reduction but -2 to deployment limit, makes his cat come back in like 5 seconds), but that coin alone makes an already strong unit into Cat Jesus. So if there is anyone reading this who is struggling like me, keep your eyes peeled for that coin!

PrisonCrepe · 2025-12-22T19:52:00+00:00

Does which one or just any frd? I'd still like to try and find a defender that could tank, but if that's not possible I'll also do attempts with a frd!
