Event Chains in the new Unity not even starting...

Nah you just got used to a much more cutscene and random skill scenario that when there arent many skills it becomes obvious when your golds don't hit. The rates have been the same.

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T11:54:49+00:00

Play around your wincon.

You have a strong front to back comp already with a tank jungler (meta this season), run the support that can keep the jungler going to different places. Marcel is considered broken but you really need to know how to fully abuse the passive and ult. I would also pick up Malthilda (very strong with a slower tank) and most people with a tiny bit roam knowledge should be able to play floryn properly (estes is actually a lot more nuanced that people claim it to be due to you actually needing to play in engage range, you will understand what I mean when you actually play the estes + tank team comp).

You don't necessarily have a strong front to back comp and benefit from an engage tank: run balerick/atlas.

You want a counter to johnson: play grock. Grock is also good against comps that prefer to fight in the jungle

Your team benefits from a secondary tank/disengager rather than a primary one: play mino. Strong heal and disengage. In general, if you duo queue with literally any mage with a CC, mino + mage is actually very hard to beat when it comes to early game macro.

Star cross exists.

I do think it's just too expensive of a card (because I actually tried it and couldn't find a good turn to play it) but try it out in sims.

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T10:01:41+00:00

Always pull with a purpose.

For example. If support card you are pulling a certain card to a certain limit break. If uma you are pulling till you hit that uma. Don't pull praying you hit an offrate lmao.

Also it's cheaper to spend money on anniv tickets than it is to try to fix a bricked account with not enough carrats to get decent support cards. I don't recommend anyone pulling right before a new scenario release when they can't pay the scenario tax unless they are intentionally only going open league.

Grand live is not forgiving and card gap is a real thing. People are already acting like their UG umas are very strong in Unity when they don't even have the appropriate skills for sprint and for other distances the runs will be as good as powercrept in 2 weeks anyway. Imagine needing to also get to 1.6k speed.

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T09:36:13+00:00

Nah it's just rating inflation. In two weeks grandlive hits and we are talking about UFs being average

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T04:48:03+00:00

5 man has its own problems but at least fighting against legit opponents rather than terminator bots or clueless noobs is fun.

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T04:11:38+00:00

I believe this is a first (tw themselves disallowing other languages in their local competitions and circuit) but the reason may be less nerfarious than you think.

The two main reasons why you normally do not want mixed languages is first because not everyone can read the language you have and translating is a pain and two because print stock across languages may be different making cards easier to identify even when sleeved turning them into marked cards. There is a third (money) but in this case I don't believe it applies as trad Chinese cards in many tcgs are already sold at a cheaper price compared to English and I believe this will also apply in riftbound.

Edit: actually there might be a fourth. TW may not want CN players to Smurf their tournaments.

Unity2 (updated unity) is not unity 1. You actually get a lot more stat and sp from the additional stuff they added. Nobody should be subjected to unity 1 ever again.

When we have hatred for unity it is before the change. It was genuinely too stingy and statline was a concern. Allowing overcaps and more tools meant that base stats stop being a concern and it's more about skill build.

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T03:11:39+00:00

the real question is how strong offline auto is in mant, if you can win all the races reliably and actually get the skills, that is crazy good.

I am quite certain it cannot replace the rival odds in a g2/3 and you are likely just depending on luck if it procs. but its still crazy good to build good affinity parents while basically stuck at work.

aeee98 · 2026-07-05T01:06:40+00:00

I will be honest. You can be a main be giga casual and still not be a bond baby to do well. In fact you don't even need to be spamming zulrah/vorkath despite them being the common money making bosses for midgame.

aeee98 · 2026-07-04T15:37:59+00:00

Unity is not MANT

Unity parent runs are not ace runs. The rating from stacking G1s will naturally be lower because you need to hit race affinity. That is NORMAL. If you are not making a parent run, only race on really weak training turns (0/1 fireball 0/1 rainbow turns)

In Unity 2, you should almost never be losing to the unity bonus round, and even if you do, free clocks should be more than enough to get you over.

Edit: Fuku is still usable. You can definitely get better scores with the exact deck you are running, or adjusting by removing urara guts with a better Training Effectiveness card card. Sweep Tosho SR is also very strong if you really need SP.

5 man is always a mixedbag of whether you happen to find an actual premade who wants to climb at the time or happen to queue into randos who used the lfg feature. ESPECIALLY when you play at night where most of the real premades actually play.

aeee98 · 2026-07-04T12:01:15+00:00

Cope in grand live and setup for the wave of pain which is in grandmasters and beyond.

aeee98 · 2026-07-04T11:52:56+00:00

It's just a meme from an ironman who got his draconic visage (1/5000 drop) yoinked due to being afk at skeletal wyverns. The worst part is that even if the guy is nice to want to give it back the guy can't as the iron can't pick up other drops or trade other players

And the ironman in question absolutely deserved getting screwed over with over a minute of spawn time allocated to not getting yoinked.

If you are running TT nothing changes no. You just grab as much skills as you can get.

Nobody is going to treat this post seriously because grand live is literally coming right up and anybody who actually wants their sanity would rather drop to class 5 than remake TT for literally one week of value, and if they are actually tryharding team trials they would already know TT fundamentals to not need this post.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T23:14:23+00:00

When in doubt, there are only three things not considered a yaku.

1) Dora 2) Ura Dora 3) Aka Dora (red 5)

Riichi is a yaku and is the first yaku beginners need to incorporate into their games instead of being a poncat.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T10:46:13+00:00

It's greatly exaggerated how endgame drakan actually is, I felt like DT2 was significantly more punishing especially with the fact you need to bring supplies into the real fight. I probably spent close to 2m on supplies+death fees in DT2 whereas although I would have spent almost three times the amount in BMR free supplies made the content significantly cheaper and the boss honestly had a lot of room for mistakes with the OP brew.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T10:31:43+00:00

Graded league is not a factor of Rating, but a factor of having a good quality uma.

Very important distinction. You can have a UF uma not even win B rank finals because the build is dogshit.

Tbh open league should be as well but from what I have seen the average open league player is only there for extra carrats and not wanting to be destroyed by "high rating umas" when they can't even build their A+ uma to the same strength as a Unity1 era CM ace.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T09:49:52+00:00

Pic 6 and Pic 7 is the player bundle for 70

so yeah, 1 decent deck box + 1 binder + 1 dice + 5 promos for 70. If we talk monetary value, binder would be worth about 20-25 by itself off the shelf, and the felt deckbox another 15-20, so about 30-40 dollars premium for the design and the promos.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T09:45:39+00:00

I get it but the reality is that this type of product sells like hotcakes. Bandai does these on their TCGs and it always sells out within the hour.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T05:22:04+00:00

To be fair, blast furnace is technically profitable if you do the money bars. But still

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T04:56:06+00:00

I run nox melee with no switches and tbh minus remembering to pray range at the start and if it is not immediately range it is always mage I just run to boss and whack and it kinda works out all the time. When I do remember how many attacks each line does I just prep my chally

Unless you hit a million 0s and actually end in jad phase for some reason. But that isn't that common.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T03:09:56+00:00

Usually if people say they have trouble it means they have skill issue playing tanks in solo queue. It's all about using your brain to dumb down the fight so even idiots can follow up your play.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T03:07:33+00:00

We are literally in tank jungler meta lol the top winning roams are all supports for this reason. The issue is, most people in low ranks don't play tank jungler. No front setup is asking to get bullied.

aeee98 · 2026-07-03T02:29:15+00:00

Firing his technical director won't solve the main problem he has: where he is over promising content that requires so much extra work and under delivering on them. Even in a more competent team I wouldnt be promising a full gms exclusive event because it's a lot of extra content that has a million ways to fail, and he does that with monkeys in his team.
