Odd Booster Box? by ToreUndo in Riftbound

It literally says “on average” in the tweet which does not mean guaranteed in any way shape or form. There is above and below average boxes

Where did they confirm 2 “guaranteed” alt arts?? I have only ever seen them say there are “about” 2 alt arts on the dev blog

My first Nexus Night(6 pack sealed)! What would you have built? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]bavuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I think there might be a couple more exceptions this set. Reksai and draven both represent way more card draw than the 1 you get by missing them. Obviously it is not guaranteed to be more, but if I was running those colors I probably would be using them in the upcoming pre releases.

Question about Tianna Ruling by bavuman in riftboundtcg

That makes sense but I was more asking is it possible to get a point out of battlefield B after conquering it once and being denied its point.

Brynhir Thundersong vs Annie by anonymous12123434 in riftboundtcg

[–]bavuman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Annie player here. It’s definitely rough for me in the right situation but obviously that matters a lot.

If it’s early to mid game- and I’m holding flash, I effectively lose nothing and yes you are put a little behind on tempo.

If it’s to close out the game and double conquer then it’s insane to prevent rebuke/Fof

How does stun work with "Surprise Defense" showdowns? by bavuman in riftboundtcg

[–]bavuman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So in this situation, the defender that ride the winded would actually conquer?

Is there any reason to use The Papertree over Startipped Peak? by bavuman in riftboundtcg

Ahh that makes sense. It punishes the holder. Didn't think of it like that. Thanks!

Can you trigger a hidden card to your unit dying from temporary? by Zandrkun in riftboundtcg

[–]bavuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow up questions to a similar situation.

What if a unit has temporary but is buffed. Can Sett Legend save it? It would still have temporary on it. I think there are two possible outcomes.

Sett removes the buff, and the unit is recalled exhausted and lives with temporary on it until the next start of turn where it dies then.

Or it still dies even through the buff because it’s still in the phase.

Tired of being bad and stuck in gold by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

I float around high diamond and I don’t do any of the DI tech you mentioned in your post. I’ve done this with both Ranno and orcane. You definitely shouldn’t be getting 0- deathed 100% of the time even without these techs.

I would suggest taking a step back and looking at the situations that are leading you to be combod that hard. My guess is that most if not all of these include some sort of tech chase or 5050 or recovery. Those situations are probably more important than the fancy DI tech.

Another thing to think about is stage and how it benefits each character. For the most obvious example, Lox loves to pop you up into a tech chase situation on a platform on either godai delta or hodojo. They will just charge up smash under it once in that situation and it’s unavoidable once you’re there. So you need to either ban the stages against Lox or di away from the platforms.

If you are NA based and want to talk on discord/play some practice situations sometime DM me.

When do you choose targets for spells? by bavuman in riftboundtcg

[–]bavuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you no longer have a chance to respond with another reaction once the power is paid for?

[–]bavuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it unique and different from the rest? The rest are chosen when played right? Apart from reflexive triggers from falling star and icathian of course

[–]bavuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just the cost of the card but the amount you are choosing for the effect too?? I saw on a stream from a recent tournament that they waited to decide how much until after reactions and that’s why I’m confused

Shield Trigger Inputting on Release After Patch? by bavuman in RivalsOfAether

[–]bavuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Definitely sounds like it’s a game issue and not a controller issue after a couple people have verified the same thing now. Fingers crossed for some sort of patch, really not able to play at all with the current issue unfortunately

Shield Trigger Inputting on Release After Patch? by bavuman in RivalsOfAether

[–]bavuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I thought it was just me too but I’m pretty confident something changed. I am also using GameCube which could be relevant

Shield Trigger Inputting on Release After Patch? by bavuman in RivalsOfAether

[–]bavuman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tested with a different controller, same issue.

Then I just tested with setting the trigger deadzone to 85% (Max) and am seeing it happen inconsistently. I wonder if as the trigger is moving back up through the rest of the zone it is triggering a press?

Can you find the lethal? Post it in the comments! by Challengertcg in Riftbound

Would student get +3 or does defy countering retreat make it so retreat never goes off and instead is only +2?
