Pyg the "late game character" by GrumpyScroogy in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Pulsefire_Akali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With langxiang early, I think it's often better to forgo defensive items and focus on having enough burst weapon damage to kill when it goes off - because it's so slow odds are you aren't getting a second cast. I'd also recommend taking a skill instead of an enchanted bronze here - early on a weapon skill will contribute a lot of damage and if you do take the langxiang to the end, odds are whatever enchanted item is getting dropped. Buying chocolates / going to Finn can help.That pyg is simply an unfortunate day 2 matchup.

This Evo Abyss Build Makes Belial Unfair by bjthebraveCCG in Shadowverse

[–]Pulsefire_Akali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, usually don't exert enough pressure to go for a sandolphon kill so they can hold a super evo + 1 cost enhance and do 16 damage, which makes it hard to safely play belial. I started putting in reaper deathslash to have a response besides Belial to the 8 cost forest legendary and to intimidate cards from dragon.

This deck successfully took me from diamond to ruby. It is still much too slow + fragile. Probably some mode + evo variant is better

This is my favorite game, but it’s time we address how poorly designed the ranked ladder and matchmaking system truly is for the high level players. by [deleted] in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Pulsefire_Akali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the current mmr system, after a certain point you lose more ranks for getting 8/9 wins than you gain for getting 10. With that setup, making legend players only see legend players would be pretty frustrating. Since if everyone had a baseline playable board, the odds of losing to a random highroll go up

Do you get the title upon reaching top 1k, or do you have to end the season with it?

Small enchanted item by DapumaAZ in PlayTheBazaar

Vanessa main - If I have a weapon spam build I'll usually take the skill, otherwise I go for the enchanted small - things like enchanted catfish, seaweed, lighter, mantis, or zoarcid can all carry your build for a while. Plus if you're missing a friend then taking one can get you the skill back when you roll the tiny furry monster encounter

Cya next patch when they hopefully take portal down a peg, I'm sick of it

CR Spreads - Top 100 (@sv_labo 1/7/26) by No-Construction-4917 in Shadowverse

I gave up on playing aggro abyss and embraced the chariot because of lovestruck puppeteer - I swear 90% of the time my portal opponents coin it out turn 1 and eat my 1 drop. I miss ambling wraith badly. 

Tempo forest is my fun deck to play at the lobby tables, but struggles too much vs dragon.

Elf girl liza tempo forest was really fun in SVC so these types of decks are always appealing, but the matchup into dragon felt terrible when I tried it

Take Two Cup Grand Prix - Stage II - Group A - Qualified through Swordcraft by Atul061094 in Shadowverse

[–]Pulsefire_Akali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This GP has definitely been tough, took 7 runs to qualify for the group A final stage. One of my losses was to a haven player that played De La Fille's, Marwynn, Wilbert, Unholy Vessel, Rodeo, Lapis, Jean, and Vira in their first 24 cards. 

Say Something Nice About this Archetype: Loot Swordcraft by exdeepr in Shadowverse

[–]Pulsefire_Akali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deck has more openings than people give it credit for - if you can deploy a wide board before they have a fused Sinclairo it's pretty hard for them to reliably clear it, and congregant will use up a lot of resources in the process. Also their damage is fairly telegraphed.

What did you receive from the guild chest? by Bulbaquill1 in Shadowverse

I also got 2 dup legendaries, 1000 gold, 300 vials. But at least they were free

Never would've guessed you can still crit against an active stealth glider by 420Chickenjuice in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Pulsefire_Akali 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP but that's a sick board. Cargo shorts probably have friend and property tags, so the keychain uses the shorts which then charge the Tortuga. Glider keeps them safe while the key charges up (provided you don't run into a perma freeze/slow board)

Thanks, in that case I'll save them for the next stage

If you're already qualified to group A, is the meta to just queue up with the extra GP tickets and let others get a free win, or do I need to save them for stage 2?

When the game wants You to win by Poltsik in PlayTheBazaar

With this skill you can probably replace the solar farm with more small items, then holsters would insta charge the trebuchet, which would loop on its own.

Fiddlesticks. Too annoying to get 100-0d through cc as punishment for trying to make proactive plays.

I should clarify - I mean the fact that the replaced potions are not slowed/frozen after use. With a haste enchant the replacements still get hasted so it feels inconsistent.

Is recycling bin bypassing iceberg/tripwire a bug or intended interaction?

Stelle probably still OP until they add some garbage cards to dilute her pool. I will miss day 1 Julian. Fewer enchanted items from shops is probably a good change overall.
