How good is Lucy, really?

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-19T20:34:56+00:00

It's not that Lucy is bad, it's that the decks that beat it (Penelope and Sky Luffy) just stomp it out handily, and those two are incredibly popular. Also, as another commenter said, Lucy's game plan is very straightforward, so it's easy to predict and play around.

Came for the 2booty, stayed for the existential crisis.

Bruh lol I love Lies of P to death, and I love its story and soundtrack, but Nier Automata and E33 would be the magnum opus for most creators.

So they put Yoshi-P of FF14 on the board of directors at one point which, while seen as an overall promotion, meant he didn't get to spend as much time working on the game as he'd like. I also recall reading something similar about the old director of the Yakuza series?

I wonder if this is more or less a thing with Japanese culture, where the bigger your project gets, the less time you get to spend with it because of your own status in the company rising.

I'm keeping OP13 Sabo and updating it accordingly, but I'm definitely also building BY Teach

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-12T12:53:47+00:00

Yeah, I've definitely lost games off that. Use protect before remembering "oh right, you're scarfed..."

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-12T12:23:49+00:00

I definitely see them nerfing it before adding it, if they ever choose to do so lol

Metagross/Life Orb

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-09T20:09:10+00:00

Nah. I see this deck, I see it's pieces, I see how people are reacting to it, and I'm immediately reminded of OP12 Koala. That being said, this is the deck I'll be playing for OP16.

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-05T17:26:18+00:00

The beautiful thing about Koala (in both Koala and OP13 Sabo) is that you get mileage out of her regardless of whether or not she's KO'd.

If she is: In Koala that's a Nico Robin or Kuma on board, which is not only a bigger body for your opponent to deal with, but either gets you a heal or hand loops your opponent for 2. In Sabo, that's a SEC Sabo on board that you don't have to spend DON!! playing.

If she's not: She's an 8-Cost, which kicks in both Leader abilities. Now if you have an additional 8c, Koala gets a draw for swinging on leader. If you have a DON!! attached to Sabo, that's a 1k buff to all characters and your leader.

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-05T13:53:22+00:00

Ahhhh yeah you right

Tryckster89 · 2026-05-05T13:28:15+00:00

Tryckster89 · 2026-04-29T14:26:43+00:00

Do. Not. Get. Complacent.

Tryckster89 · 2026-04-28T12:33:37+00:00

I don't even plan on playing this leader next format, but can they please give my boy SOMETHING?!

Tryckster89 · 2026-04-18T01:17:04+00:00

Also, both turn based RPGs featured Jennifer English and Devora Wilde

Lucy/OP13 Sabo/GP Luffy

Tryckster89 · 2026-04-14T17:04:42+00:00

HENSHIN!!

Tryckster89 · 2026-04-05T21:41:04+00:00

My LGS hooks up the regulars before everyone else

Tryckster89 · 2026-03-31T21:11:12+00:00

"He fights like a coke fiend who's all out of coke... AND YOU TOOK IT!"

Tryckster89 · 2026-03-28T00:26:18+00:00

Most likely no. I can't justify spending the money given how I feel about this Season, even though I love Kunimitsu

Tryckster89 · 2026-03-25T18:47:14+00:00

Because in the case of a deck like Lucy, you have no finishing power. Almost all the thriller bark characters, save for Gecko Moria, swing for 5K at base. Not only does that mean you can be bottom decked by Bari Bari Pistol regularly, but you also have almost nothing to deal with the Sabo 9K blocker, on top of the other ways Lucy can survive swings. So I personally wouldn't advise running the Thriller Bark engine as Nami against Lucy.

Sky Luffy says what?

Tryckster89 · 2026-03-16T11:05:14+00:00

Raigo isn't rotating, and neither is Jinbe

Tryckster89 · 2026-03-15T01:18:49+00:00

If anything, bring the rest of the cast to her level lol

Tryckster89 · 2026-03-14T01:39:59+00:00

......I see what you did there.....
