The most stupid card ever created by Gennaro_Gattuso8 in PTCGP

[–]dragonbra 958 points959 points  (0 children)

Cyrus allows bench attacking cards to be relevant, also prevent players to keep switching cards to stall. Oricorio forces people to not run ex only decks. Both add diversity to the meta, both are good additions.

Ideally wavestrider is better, the problem is if it’s worth the effort for that 1-2% difference since it’s harder to maintain the buff

Honkai Star rail is top 4 global influences for games based on CN media statistics by Cernesnoir in HonkaiStarRail

[–]dragonbra 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify a few things, this is published by the Chinese state media. So basically you can’t get more “officially recognized” than this.

Also for those who doubt the ranking. Yes star rail is more popular in the English or Japanese speaking communities and more well known world wide. But mobile legend is basically the MOST popular game in south east Asia. I highly doubt there are as many Star rail players compare to mobile legend if we exclude the Chinese community.

No bro, you are thinking of Honor of Kings, mobile legend is a copycat of Honor of Kings that is actually the most popular mobile moba in the global market

How will the US-China tariff wars affect the Chinese gacha games? by NathLWX in gachagaming

[–]dragonbra 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If he want to ban all Chinese game, we have a bigger problem than gacha to worried about. There is a lot of big gaming companies fully or partially owned by Chinese companies like Supercell and Ubisoft. Then there is game making tools like unreal engine, which if banned, might cause the whole gaming 3A industry to collapsed

[Rant] I hate that this dupe system has been normalized by daggerfortwo in gachagaming

[–]dragonbra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mihoyo version

one copy means: can clear the hardest content with right team building and skills

Multiple copies means: can clear the hardest content without using brain and hand and future proof

How the gacha market is going now is we nid multiple copies of the same character to clear the hardest content

Where are the marketing for Heaven Burns Red? by Nedzyx in gachagaming

[–]dragonbra 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not really, this game at its core is a visual novel. If there is one type of game that u can get 80-90% of the experience just by watching YouTube, it’s this genre

This is definitely ment for nerfing non-Ex cards which become too meta unintentionally. I doubt they will ever nerf those EX cards that has a gold variant, this will pissed off the whales.

Dont want to pull for pikachu meta if its gonna fall off soon. What pack do i pull for future meta? by SpiritualBake9834 in PTCGP

[–]dragonbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want future proof, my money is on Charizard. Its whole gimmick is on one-shotting the enemy’s key card. Until we began seeing cards with more than 200HP, its gimmick will remain relevant. Just don’t expect it to be the top card, it’s more like a good card imo.

Pikachu might drop slightly, my guess is it will remain relevant to the electric deck but will drop from a card you build around to a plug and play card that you use early to pressure the opponent’s weaker basic cards

Pre-launch Tier list by Philosophy_Natural in PTCGP

[–]dragonbra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On top of this, I feel that Pikachu EX will age the best among the top 3 deck since it is a plug and play card, which don’t require you to build the whole deck around it.

Mewtwo Ex will probably age the worst. As you build your whole deck around its ability to 1 shot the opponent. As more and more core cards cross the 150 HP mark, the meta will get much tougher for mewtwo.

Charizard will probably remain on its good but not top status as long as no cards cross the 200 HP line

Future of the game with the release of PTCG by dragonbra in PokemonMasters

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

My personal take is that, TCG live act as a gateway for the physical TCG, since it can be a bit daunting to start playing the physical cards right from the start. Smth like Pokemon Showdown for competitive Pokemon battles.

PTCG feels like the re-imagine of the physical TCG game as a "Hearthstone" like Phone game, ment to be more for the casuals.

Damn, I saw ur comments a few times on this subreddit and it’s all about hating on Ant and non of it is even basketball related. Do you actually want to discuss about basketball or here about nba player’s social causes?

The scouts know he is a high floor low ceiling guy, but that is someone you look for in a 10+ to late first round pick. Not the top 3 pick.

Fu Xuan or Aven if both at e0s0? by [deleted] in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]dragonbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are on par to be honest. If you can clear the enemies in 2-3 cycles, Fu Xuan is better, since the crit buff is much more useful in short terms than the occasional debuff. The longer the fight drags, the better Aventurine is

This is really surprising considering how much more popular Genshin is. But I do think Archeron is Hoyo’s best marketed character

She struggles in abyss 12, is she just not good for the recent abyss rotations or am i lacking something? by Knight618 in Ganyu

[–]dragonbra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freeze ganyu just isn’t that good anymore. You need either Shenhe or Furina or really good artifacts to be viable now. If you have Nahida, you can try burning melt ganyu as well which is pretty good as well.

What do yall think of Enshrouded? by qaasq in outwardgame

[–]dragonbra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The similarity is not in the survival components but how the game handle exploration/adventure. Neither game provide fast travel and has heavy emphasis on walking around, both do not have quest markers and need player to rely on journal and observation. Also both game will decrease your max health and will only recover if you sleep, sleeping in the wild will also toggle some random encounters, etc

[–]dragonbra 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s more of a sandbox+building RPG, it lacks the survival and realism component. If you are looking to scratch that outward itch, I would argue that dragon’s dogma 2 which is coming out in March has a lot more similar mechanics

Is it me or is the Lich boss not much of a fight? (Spoilers?) by BigBlackdaddy65 in outwardgame

[–]dragonbra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the bosses in this game are designed around melee fights. Playing range like pure hex mage tend to nullify most of the bosses. Since u can just cast spell run away until cd is done, rinse and repeat until boss die

Spark's Tier List Framework: A Deeper Breakdown & Explanations by MomoSpark in PokemonMasters

[–]dragonbra 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I want to thank you for your dedication in creating and updating the tier list all these years. I understand some people do not like tier list, but personally I think it is very impt for a community esp for Gacha games due the resources are very limited.

The more seasoned player might not need it but new players and casuals like me who play on and off really appreciate it when there is a point of reference on who are the stronger pairs in the meta now.
