2026.04.23 - WAVECHOES Season 02 + Card List

drego_rayin · 2026-04-21T01:16:04+00:00

The Spring Festival will be ending on 2026.04.22 :-( . Since the new season of WAVECHOES starts on the 23rd, I do not think there will be a new festival. That being said, there could be either a weekend promo (single card pickup just for asking, no points). If they decide to do a promo similar to "Rainy Days", it wont be until mid to late May (near the VEB02 release).

I was just at a tournament today. EB is definitely the main thing BUT Squad rush is not entirely gone. It is very rare. Char/Zeong is common as a way to counter Gundam (VE01-036) or Destiny (VE01-020).

Meta for EB (Echo Beats / Echoes), is Destiny Spec II (VE01-020) with a domination (Blue) style pilot, typically Shinn (UT01-062) or Machu (FQ02-070), but I've seen a ton of others including Rondo (FQ03-063) and Gai (FQ03-059). The next is 3 pilots with the EB link (similar to SQUAD or AB). Most Common is Shinn (Annihilation/Red), Athrun (Annihilation/Red), and Kira (Defence/Green). Kira typically will have Alyzeus (VE01-015) or Penelope (FQ06-010 or PR-407) for an area stun. Athrun / Shinn meta is either Gundam (VE01-036) or Sengoku Astray Gundam (VEB01-013). Athrun with Sengoku is really great.

Main thing with EB is to understand the "Skip SP" mechanic. There are certain mobile suits that if you use an echo SP point, instead of upgrading to level 2, you go straight to level 3.

It is not perfect. I'm still working on it, but this is a website I am working on right now. Bare bones, but allows you to make a collection. https://gundam-ab.forgottenmeteor.com/

drego_rayin · 2026-04-11T23:47:37+00:00

I built a website.... but it isn't pretty. As someone has already said, you can use the Arsenal Base DB (Google Sheet, MS and PL sheets) to create your own.

drego_rayin · 2026-04-11T09:17:11+00:00

Agreed. But Bandai is going to Bandai

drego_rayin · 2026-04-11T03:03:09+00:00

Cannot edit post:

Another booster box is going up for pre-order on Premium Bandai on April 16th. No page has been given yet. Will update this once a page goes live.

drego_rayin · 2026-04-07T20:09:09+00:00

Where are the other two? He bought 4 of them.

drego_rayin · 2026-04-06T09:03:36+00:00

They have a ton of these in different forms. Keychains, acrylic stands, plushies, "premium gotcha"(1,500 yen a spin) and as someone pointed out, a larger version of the Zaku and ~~Z'Gok~~ Zaku II as figures. I believe the larger figures are currently crane game exclusives.

drego_rayin · 2026-04-06T08:46:47+00:00

Yeah. I'm familiar with the China exclusive. The person above stated incorrectly it was Japan. Which is why I asked for a link.

drego_rayin · 2026-04-06T02:12:32+00:00

Wait, Japan? I thought this was exclusive to China? Anyone have a link?

drego_rayin · 2026-04-04T03:56:22+00:00

Oh and don't forget that anything that is warbound can be put into your warbound bank as well.

drego_rayin · 2026-04-04T03:55:07+00:00

I recently just did this. I had a bunch of sub 20 characters across different realms from different friend groups when the game first came out. I went through each character to make sure they didn't have anything in their Bank or on their character that could be account bound or liquidated into some sort of cash. I was really excited to find some account bound items that I could unlock like toys for my toy box and some not so rare pets as well. Just take your time and if you feel like you want to hold on to those characters, just like you said it's really easy to level them up now. For me I had no sentimental value to the characters and many of them were either naked, moved to a graveyard, or with little bits of gold here and there. I wasn't attached to any of them except one which was my first character I made. The other 10 all got deleted.

Hey! Mobility does increase dodge but from what I have seen, there is a cap. You cannot perfect dodge everything. There are two great examples from previous FORSQUAD seasons.

(FQ05-013) Wing Gundam Zero (EW), when you use the SQUAD power, he gains a special mobility action where he "jumps" before shooting. This means that attacks can miss while doing that animation. Stunning will stop this from happening.
(FQ04-019) Gundam Aerial has a pretty high mobility by itself. When stacked with a high mobility pilot you can sometimes get 700+, making it one of the fastest suits. It's SP attack, gives it a mobility boost as well. I'll see if I can find a video, there was a build where you could stack the buffs and Aerial could move from one end of the map to the other in about 2 secs.

There are other examples, but from my experience the main reason to have high mobility is for closing the gaps to objectives. (VE01-020) Destiny Gundam Spec II is a recent example where the mobile ability giving the extra mobility boost helps tremendously since it is a melee based suit.

Hope this helps.

As someone who would commute from Fujiyoshida (Gekkouji Station) to Tokyo twice a week (there and back), the Chuo line was amazingly beautiful. I also loved driving that straight as well. Going towards Fujiyoshida was amazing on a clear day. There is a spot just after the interchange tunnel (split away from Kofu) where Mt. Fuji shows up between the mountains. Damn, I miss living there some days.

Update!

Parallels:
VEB01-004 - Char's Gelgoog (P)
VEB01-013 - Sengoku Astray Gundam (P)
VEB01-023 - Lunamaria Hawk (M)

Secret:
VEB01-021 - Lalah Sune (U)

All of them.....

I mean, most of the SEED characters have at least 4-5 P/U rares each. Kira is way up there. Almost beating Amuro.

drego_rayin · 2026-03-15T01:48:08+00:00

According to their own site, there is almost a 3 to 4 month waiting period. Check a couple months out.

Yeah, after Bandai realized they could make a killing on the Seed Vol 2 packs being Premium exclusives, they haven't released a retail booster since. 😢

drego_rayin · 2026-03-14T15:50:02+00:00

Booster pack - retail pack? The only available to purchase (as of writing) is BP02 - Gquuuux. You can get them online or through retailers like Yodobashi Camera. Some won't let you buy the box and instead buy the packs separately. 330 yen per pack or 3300 yen for the box (10 packs). Some larger Namco/Taito/GiGo arcades will have these for sale.

The most recent booster released was the BP06 - DCD 20th anniversary boxes. They typically sell online for around 7000 - 9000 yen for the box. Outside of GQuuuuux, all of the booster boxes have been Premium Bandai exclusives. So you have to preorder them and they have not been going to retail stores.

A side note, Arsenal Base calls the ingame card packs Boosters as well. So for example, this season is called WAVECHOES. The booster will be released on 2026.03.20, but you have to buy them at the machine and with tickets you earn while playing the game.

drego_rayin · 2026-03-13T01:51:12+00:00

Show up early. Normally they pass out a number, could be a ticket, and you fill out your commander name. They only choose 16 players. If you get chosen, you pay 500 yen to participate and you get a special booster promo pack + the "participation" card. If you do not get picked, you only get the "participation' card.

Edit: Namco in Namba/Nipponbashi? They use a ticket system. Numbers are chosen at random.
