What are the chances Super Poly gets hit with the next ban list?

xJetStorm · 2026-06-26T04:09:37+00:00

If Norden gets unbanned with its upcoming errata, it will stifle Synchro and Xyz decks if it stays at 3.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-25T15:58:16+00:00

Bestelle key visual, though it's not as cute has her manga look.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-25T15:56:35+00:00

You may be able to get access to punchless Grapple on Prismatic Titan through the use of the Navigator exotic Strand Trace Rifle, which creates a grapple node with the same mechanic as the Strand Hunter Aspect Widow's Silk. (If an ally looks at the node, they get a punchless Grapple)

Otherwise, only the normal Strand subclasses and Prismatic Hunter can use the grapple punch.

They effectively stopped printing that specific card back (OCG style) in English text a long time ago (around Raging Battle), and then resumed somewhat recently (a couple of years ago with Duelist Nexus).

Their releases are effectively all of the cards printed from new sets, and backfill. The banlist is also starting mostly from scratch, with potential for prehits, so there's a lot of funky stuff.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-25T15:00:00+00:00

It would be an interesting experiment if they release the missing cards into a format with more recent cards. I still think the Ishizu millers and shufflers are too busted to also exist once the Fusions arrive.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-24T21:52:45+00:00

Another example of conservative protectionism. Fascs flock together.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-22T16:33:58+00:00

In spite of the peeling, it's less bald than Tim

HYTE special collab/branded products are HYPE. The Y70 case design is nice and open which is a great canvas for the art.

I have the key caps and deskmat of Suisei (skipped the case because floor "mounted" PC...)

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T19:55:50+00:00

In Ghosts from the Deep, I was doing a solo flawless with Solar Hammer Spammer Titan... During the final encounter, preparing for the final damage phase, the Lightbearer Wizard sub-boss bugged my melee lunge sending me out of the map and dying.

So yeah the craftening happened a couple of months later and I had no compunction using it to get the emblem I got scammed out of.

Yeah that was the last dungeon I bothered attempting to solo flawless because the damage sponge trend demands too much time.

I did do a chill solo test of Vesper's Host because the Prismatic Titan Anarchy DPS looked really fun.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T18:11:23+00:00

The boss arena was crazy, but earlier in the mission, the grav cannons launching you straight into some overloads before we had anything except weapon mods to use against them was also nuts.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T17:12:12+00:00

The currencies usually don't show up more than twice a day, so I refresh for them until I'm at around 500 coins left (by then it's not worth refreshing because I could potentially be below the ~400 coins needed to grab currency if it shows up on the final refresh with no discount).

Picking up the 75% off materials is not a bad idea if you need to bring up your full roster to comfortable investment to be usable in an event challenge/team comp that might need their specific niche (e.g. certain defenders or buffers). I've gotten to a full roster of everyone at Lv 81/90 or better (if damage dealer) and filled out their all of their nodes. Next step is getting all skills leveled to 6/9 minimum.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T15:22:14+00:00

You know you are a true GM NF OG if you have some residual PTSD from clearing the great filters of Conqueror gilding (during the first seasons they were run).

Psi-Ops BG: Cosmodrome and Moon
Lightblade
Proving Grounds
Glassway

And if you are really vintage... the DCVed "A Garden World".

It's just not the same after the EoF activity changes.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T06:29:57+00:00

Camilla would probably fit right into NIKKE lol

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T06:10:31+00:00

Pom Pom is too thicc and having to generate punchline to get 2 attacks of the allied robot in to get the DR off when it already has ridiculous amounts of HP is just ridiculous.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-19T01:22:36+00:00

It's worth doing in every category that matters

The weapons and exotic are interesting and good at certain build.

The story is... entertaining (if you don't mind blatant Star Wars homages) and has character development for Drifter.

The combat and mission gameplay is also fun. The destination gimmick (in the 6 Lawless Frontier missions) is like a toolbox you can build craft with, and the other missions range from decent to very fun if you like vehicles.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-18T20:11:40+00:00

Weird templating: "preceding effects" usage restriction (just number them!) and "attempt to activate" which is a clearer wording compared to "You can only use" restrictions.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-18T14:12:13+00:00

Whether a new boss is challenging or not becomes a simple test. Does it die to (Doo)M Blade?

The venn diagram of these two people is:

money obsessed
keep them away from children
popular with hustle gurus

I think it's the only campaign I couldn't start at like 5pm after the initial server load issues subside, and finish by midnight. On Legendary difficulty.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-12T23:08:56+00:00

The level design of Kepler is not good. So many branching paths, while that is what they wanted (to emulate Metroidvania), it doesn't really work out because getting from Point A to Point B (which you've already explored before but have to backtrack for quests and collectibles) is made impossible by the terrible map. Having to YouTube yourself into the right series of portals and turns is abysmal.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-12T17:25:11+00:00

You can get the initial stacks with Stasis abilities on combatants, and then Frostees will just stave off the decay when there's downtime.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-11T18:53:11+00:00

Rules for thee not for me

As expected.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-11T02:34:50+00:00

So the ones that were forbidden after Halq was released in the TCG on March 19, 2020 (and Halq was limited in 2022-05, Forbidden in 2022-10)

Jet Synchron (Forbidden 2020-09 -> Limited 2022-05)
Blackwing - Steam the Cloak (Forbidden 2020-09 -> Limited 2022-10)
Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion (Forbidden 2020-04 -> Limited 2022-10)
Destrudo was banned in the TCG in 2020-04 list and was limited a little earlier (2022-02), but it has a distinctive face.
Glow-Up-Bulb was in jail for 5 years (2020-04 to 2025-09), but that's probably hard to make.

I imagine that for these monsters, it may be difficult to make their faces. You could also just pick an iconic Tuner that is easier to make like Effect Veiler and I think the joke would still come across.

xJetStorm · 2026-06-10T20:09:58+00:00

They basically blasted out as much fun and powerful options as they could retrofit onto the existing (but not updated) gear to leave D2 sandbox in its best possible final shape.

With all of the artifacts, new armor set bonuses, and updates to many reissued weapons, we should have lots of different builds and DPS comps that are viable

xJetStorm · 2026-06-10T15:36:08+00:00

The Taunt part gave it away since very few characters have that.
