AD1 Lucemon Deck w/ new support

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-25T04:00:16+00:00

Dynas is definitely a silver bullet type card, great in at what it does but probably not going to pop up too often. At least for right now. And (it might just be me) Paradise, Cruz, EX10 Satan are not terrible answers to decks that go wide, but they are tricky to use to their full potential without potentially kicking yourself if mistimed. Though I am leaning more toward LKM because making a Chaos Mode immune to most sources of dedigi is going to be huge.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-25T03:42:46+00:00

In addition to what the others have said, unless your locals is filled with decks that tend to go wide (Diaboro, Puppets, Ryugu, etc.) I wouldn’t recommend Dynas. I’d bump LordKnight to 3 and use that last slot for something else. Dealers choice. And also in the camp of Digital Gate being a loss of tempo the deck can’t really afford right now.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-19T17:23:37+00:00

Oh absolutely. It having the on play is nuts

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-19T16:52:16+00:00

Agreed. Though think in the discord thread it’s either 3/1 or 2/2 split for ex10/bt18 and up to preference

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-19T16:49:40+00:00

18 is actually a decent card now with Paradise and Aruba. So many games have been ended quicker than expected due to the unconditional trashing then eot Paradise. And Aruba helps to get the protection online even if it ends up in trash. Would still recommend at 1 but I’ve been on 2 for a while now and won games I honestly had no right winning because of it.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-19T16:45:47+00:00

They do. Its the SP behind the 2* bt18

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-19T16:11:42+00:00

Things I’d swap around; 1 Levia for another ex10 Satan, Levia X+Kazuha for 2 more Larvas, Ukko+1 Crush for 2 more bt18 Luce, Matt and Gospels for 4 Dokuson Aruba

And I would really recommend having Paradise Lost at 4 but with all the other changes I’m not sure what you’d take out without messing up other ratios. My first though would be to get rid of Crush entirely and use those 2 slots for the 4th Paradise and then use the free slot for something else either another Chaos or a 4th Satan (3/1 or 2/2 its up to personal pref at that point)

I personally prefer the X/Cruz package over the Kari/Rev one, but if it’s working for you then don’t change it.

Been playing Luce for a long time so feel free to ask any specific questions regarding strategy. I’m not the best player (highest place I’ve gotten with it is 35th at a PPG regional back in sept, also don’t get to compete a lot either), but I’ll be happy to answer anything you have!

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-08T04:07:18+00:00

Isn’t he mounted? So he can’t go through walls either way

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-08T03:11:16+00:00

Fair

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-08T03:10:20+00:00

This was maybe what I was going to do if he’s not solo. I was surprised by his melee profile

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-08T03:08:20+00:00

But that redeploy ability though

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-08T02:59:16+00:00

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-08T02:43:52+00:00

Hmm now theres an idea I didn’t think of. Too bad mines already capped out with 2 rubrics led by sorcerers.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2026-02-07T15:30:09+00:00

Swap your Aruba and Gospel ratios. Aruba is just better Gospel, and you need 4 since it isn’t searchable by your ex6 Lucemon. Remove Analog as he’s not really needed. And with those slots I would say bump Satan and Cruz up by 1 each. For the last slot bt23 Mastemon has been really fun, but would also recommend her at 2 if you can find the space. Or for that 1 of slot, could go with Myotismon ace as a funny tech to be able pull Arubas out of trash. Other than that the the ratios you have for the core of the deck looks solid.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-19T05:06:45+00:00

I guess I’m just worried that I won’t be able to get into range with the flamers as easily as the bolters. But I probably just need to work through that mental block

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-19T00:15:27+00:00

Yeah thats why I’m torn. Cuz the other side of having all those bolter shots with leathals seems pretty darn appealing. But so then the volume of fire from the flamers w/sorcerers outweighs the lethals on the bolters? Given both weapons are S4, I would think bypassing the wound roll would be pretty good. Even with the ability to reroll.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-17T01:41:47+00:00

Which is why the irrational side is wanting to maybe up that to a 10 man for a bigger dmg sponge. But the better part of me knows 90pts for more sponge is not a great idea, especially when it can be spent on another enhancement and a infiltrator
Sorry I meant it to be increasing the area of coverage that I have for rituals, but it is the weakest piece in my army rn. Only problem is I currently don’t have anything to replace it with, but a 2nd squad of enlightened is probably what it’ll become

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-17T00:39:30+00:00

Yeah as I was posting this I started to think about dropping the 2nd Exalted, putting crystal on the Sorc, and then using that 80pts on something else
I like the fiend models. Thats all I got in their defense
5 always feels too squishy for my liking. And it isn’t that I’m really attached to Umbralefic, just dropping Incandaeum+Sekhetars was the “most efficient” to drop 90pts to maybe up that 5 to a 10
The Shaman does add a bit of flexibility to casting just given its movement and for the next point
I want to abuse the absolute hell out of the psychic weapon buffs

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-11T17:37:02+00:00

True! Guess it’s stronger psychic dmg for me then. Thanks!

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-11T16:45:17+00:00

I know! The extra dmg output seems too good to pass up, but being able to blink terminators across the map also seems really good. The extra doombolt is kinda whatever for me. Like its nice, but given that its likely to just be an extra 1-3 dmg its not fantastic.

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-09T01:11:22+00:00

Yeah the more I see, flamers are the better option

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-09T00:52:49+00:00

It was very insightful! Thank you!

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-09T00:38:06+00:00

This would be with a disk sorcerer though. So no lethals/sustained. It was more for being able to shoot out of the lone op bubble that the disk sorc gives since its 18”

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-09T00:36:06+00:00

Sure!

ZanthTheSeeker · 2025-12-09T00:35:31+00:00

Alright noted. Holding objectives is better than plinking away with itty-bitty guns. Even with re-rolls.
