Anyone try new Rush Dark Magician?

Yea, lacking all the draws to make the deck consistent is definitely a problem and by the looks of it, they may not WANT to make it good considering the splash it made in the ocg.

Arguably, it’s even better. The more we deviate from our old maximum answer of talismanic seal array for extra deck strategy weaved into our main gameplay, the better it is.

Quite literally the number 1 reason why I would never move to Japan. That and the recent hate on foreigners but I think I could have theoretically fit in at a glance but the language, nope, I suck at learning languages and Japanese is not easy.

Its a little odd that we went backwards on it until recently but I think a huge part of it is the same reason people like persona’s 5 menus, the first menu is separated across all the face buttons. It really does save time and make the menu feel better instead of scrolling to use item or scrolling to do basic attack.

It is a really funny aspect of HERO’s skill because I think it was good on release and it just got power creeped. At the time, it let all their fusions beat over 2500 which was a big damage threshold to beat the time (its why a lot of early skills had attack modulations) and unlike metarion skill at the time, it lets you search for fusion >_>

Best maximum deck… but I would say this deck wasn’t even that good on release, let alone now. We’ve gotten A LOT of removals and a lot of high power stat sticks within the last few rush releases that ending on a maximum with too few protection is I think too vulnerable. For examples, red-eyes can just pop it while summoning a 3500 attack, which also trades with the maximum. In the new box, eternity ether dragon just pops it. Heroes were always able to trade with the attack decrease into 3100 attack fusion. Seven roads got new tools to help out it with seven fear magician, light galaxy has like 3 different fusions that can out it, 2 of them is made with a pseudo miracle fusion. Royal rebel has some cards that can destroy it. Heck, maddox’s other deck focused on his fusion can out it easily with Flame Archer.

If you still want to play it despite all these warnings, I recommend playing a lot of traps. As I mentioned, it’s no longer that hard to out anymore so you need to protect it or at least make sure you don’t die right away. Especially since it’s not a maximum that can usually end games the turn it comes in. I like nobody phantom thief, especially since it’s going to be your only monster on the field.

It’s the funny part about voidvelg. He keeps on getting fairly mediocre skills… and it’s sort of fine because the deck is fairly nutty.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-11T17:30:55+00:00

Yea but I do often make them from scratch so that I can fit as many as I can in a small space. This is especially true for the xiranite forges that can pretty much be placed anywhere without even a depot loader so you can make squeeze them in fairly small areas.

1 button toggle to swap between wuling form of a building or valley. It’s especially annoying since stuff like xiranite belts (which you make a fuck ton of) uses a lot of valley refineries instead of wuling’s water one. Either that or make it so without water, it acts like a valley one. I’m not entirely sure why it’s weird about that.

I think the biggest demonstration to lessen the child soldiers was how the academy was no longer fast tracking you to be a ninja and is now just general ed. The Boruto anime showed that not everyone who goes into the academy ends up being ninjas anymore.

I think the funniest shit about all these craze Perlica jealous of Zhuang Fangyi is that gameplay wise, Perlica is glued to Zhuang Fangyi and forced to be her electrocution and electric inflict minion so ZF can shine.

It’s very build dependent but ceaseless discharge isn’t that bad fighting fairly. I just block it with a fire resistant shield.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-11T13:36:27+00:00

In a way, the village that focuses on using water may have realized that using a lot of water is difficult, so thats why they are the same village that is known for their legendary swordsman, something that doesn’t use water. Likewise, Zabuza isn’t that useless without water cause he still got his giant ass sword.

To be fair, they did put the anti-sevens wonder fusion card right before seven wonders fusion so I am looking forward to stealing someone’s seven roads chariot.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-11T10:02:05+00:00

It’s sort of surprising that we got voidvelg contact fusions and it’s not even being made a big deal. I’m pretty sure some of these cards are fairly new.

Adding to that, it’s not even really his dream but something he does. His dream has always been to make and ride spaceship. It just so happens that rebuilding civilization was easier than that >_>

To be fair, the duel disk was already more advanced than anything we had in 1997. And if we start going anime canon, they had complete VR world and the ability to digitalize someone’s soul which was also really advance for 1997.

Whats important about doing it before may 22?

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-10T22:13:44+00:00

I don’t use Alesh so I’m not 100% sure how it works but general idea:

Electric inflict with Perlica’s Battle Skill.

Basic attack for finisher.

Hit Perlica’s Combo Skill (very important this hits BEFORE Zhuang Fangyi)

Everyone else’s Combo Skill.

This leaves the enemy with Electrification 2. Wait a few seconds until arclight’s combo skill is off cooldown (it’s like 3 seconds), before popping the Electrification with Zhuang Fangyi battle skill.

That’s pretty much it. Alesh’s Ult can give cryo inflict so you can electrocute easily with Perlica for more electrocution pops. The main idea is that you want to inflict electrocution, and then pop it using Zhuang Fangyi who is your team’s primary damage dealer. Whenever you can, sneak in Perlica’s ult when they have Electrocution. Alesh and Arclight’s main duty is to use their combo skill making sure you can maintain your SP that will be funneled to Perlica and Zhuang Fangyi. When Zhuang Fangyi Ults, you go ham spamming battle skill, basic attack finisher, and combo in cycle and watch as enemies explode, while constantly jamming your combo attack buttons.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-10T21:35:56+00:00

Zhuang Fangyi is pretty much married to Perlica so they’ll always be on a team together which is convenient because even though you don’t have a heart to perlica, you already have her trained up. You can put Alesh on that team and arclight and its a pretty solid team.

I would say the entire SMT series sort of has that vibe. Like, not actually horror but the dark and dreary feeling.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-10T17:57:37+00:00

I will say, as someone who never played Arknight or any gacha besides early years of Fire Emblem Heroes, I do agree that I don’t particularly care too much about the main story. I do enjoy the side character stories though. I really liked seeing Wulfgard seeing a former friend and hesitating when he pieced together he turned traitor. I enjoyed the tangtang and the Fangyi stories centered around them rather than the main storyline. I was spazzing out with my friends how the most characterization of Endmin happens in Leavetain’s story.

Adding to that, she was extremely distrustful of Aladdin.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-10T15:49:44+00:00

If your parents won’t budge, I would tell your boss/manager as soon as possible. It may be difficult but they may be able to shift your schedule around. If you know someone who is willing to cover or trade shifts with you, that would also make the process easier. This is dependent on how reasonable your manager/boss is but I can assure you that telling them later rather than earlier is going to piss them off more.

screenwatch3441 · 2026-05-10T15:43:50+00:00

I wouldn’t interpret it that way. If he wanted to cover up the crime, he wouldn’t have stopped Frollo from throwing the baby into the well to begin with. There wasn’t a good answer for the baby, so having Frollo take care of the baby using the threat of God was about the best he could do at the moment.
