S Character Pack 1: SHIN-It's the X Character Pack, but in a good way.

     So the Character Pack reveals are finally coming in and we finally have good foundation of all THREE decks in the booster that we can do a small little explanation and dissection of all the new cards. I did say three because a third attribute entered the fray, they have a unique mechanic and they seem to be used by Ranma, so that will be cool! Wanted to write this since I've been having fun play testing around with all the decks and I have come to several conclusions on DBD and DDT, and just a small mention on the new DiD deck and how they contribute to the game. So with everything settled, put on your Dragon hazmat suit.

      Let us begin.      

 Deity Dragon Tribe

Okay so speaking of the new poster boy of Buddyfight, not only is he getting this batch of support, but also a brand new Katana deck as well as three other Gargantua decks later in the fall. It may not be DDT but my god this dragon is insane. He has gotten four brand new forms in this set alone. Acute Mode shown here working with the new Garrapier and link attack focused. Legion Mode focuses on field swarming and bringing out a new fresh field once your item attacks to either gain resources through the Gar-animal trio, or a new monster to take some monsters down like Glom Gardra while Garga attacks. Charing is literally just a massive battery, gauging you for three, gaining you one life and a draw and finally Daybreak Garga is basically Rescue Drum, so always nice to have. The support lineup gives them monster destruction, to size 1 counter recovery, to G-EVO shenanigans and even more protection with their new Blue Dragon Shield and a counter 5 life which might not seem much but is always a good tech in if the un-revivable impacts start to creep back into the game. All in all, plenty of amazing cards are coming for DDT and I expect them to get a possible resurgence back into the Meta-game even if a little they got a ton more resource gaining and the pressure and G-EVO potential to pull out more damage then before. So yeah DDT is AOK!!....God using these short-term names makes me cringe...

Dragon Blood Division (The Revisit)

The True MVP of the deck

Dragon Blood Division is a closed center deck. You got monsters who can go into Bloody Eye's soul, stacking him for counterattacks, as well as them the cards in soul giving him extra effects like crit up and card destruction. They also now have opponent discard tools, resource gain tools, and an ability to stand for another attack which when you can stack 3 Perpetuity in Eye's soul, can hit for a lot. All they need now is a faster way to get Bloody Eyes, which will happen, and the deck can just speed into advantage. Their toolkit of spells are nice also. Elegante for all your destruction needs, Graziozo for your always needed kosher, Taboos for resource and Infinite Phantom for your draw power going into your turn to keep your weaklings alive and to fetch more guys to shove into Bloody Eye's soul. We have the livestream tomorrow (6:30 AM EST for those interested) to see the rest of the Division and their support, but for now they do have options to tackle decks that do have effect destruction nullification. It's a small set of options but its there. I have been having a good amount of fun with the deck due to its uniqueness from other Dragon World decks and I am happy to have more diversity in Dragon rather then the same mundane we are used to. If you love Dragon World but never liked playing the hero role, how about a switch to the dark side?

Dimensional Dragon

    Okay bob, you have one job in this blog. To put a picture of a buddyfight card in the picture section...ONE JOB! THIS IS JUST A PICTURE OF AN ENGINE! HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP?!

Wha wha wha wha whaaaaa

    What do you mean this is a Buddyfight card? That's a picture of an engine. Here let me show you a picture of an actual engine.

    See bob, this is a buddyfight card, not an engine...What do you mean they look the same? 

                                                              Wha wha wha wha whaaaaa

     For the love of Gao, these are not the same thing! Let me show you if you want to act like a smarty pants!  

<============================>

See the differences?! Now if you are going to tell me straight to my face that Dragon World Dimensional Dragons are basically just a massive engine to turbo into Lost World...THEN I AM DONE WITH YOU BOB!!!

Wha wha whaaaaa

THAT IS IT!!! THIS BLOG IS OVER!!! NEXT EPISODE IS DROIDS! GOODNIGHT!

THE NEW ATTRIBUTES OF ACE!!!!! Part 2: Miracle Fighters ~Miko & Mel & Dan?!~

    Welcome everyone to part 2 of this 3 part series looking at every starting attribute that we know of for Buddyfight Ace. Last time we looked at the first four attributes from Gargantua Awakened, and this week we are focusing on the two attributes from the Miko and Mel Ultimate Booster. Miko`s <<Electrodeity>> and Mel`s <<Folktale>>. Also because I have no where else to put it, we are also going to focus on the OUT OF NOWHERE new attribute from Dragon World, Dragon Blood Division, used by the series only antagonist...for now, Dan Yamada. Why also add Dan`s deck in while it only has two cards revealed? Because someone`s gonna enjoy it, plus this is the best place to put it instead of the Hero Booster. If you are a brand new player and did not get a single word I just said, do not worry as everything will make sense soon. So I welcome you to Part 2 of the series! Welcome to the Trio of Miracle Fighters!!

Folktale

Waifu monster #1

     Folktale is the first attribute fully revealed for the Miko and Mel booster. Used by Buddyfights new archetypal "Has Food For Hair" Character, Mel Yumegatari. Folktale is based a lot on Fantasy and fairy tales, with the main buddy being Red Riding Hood, with other characters like Sleeping Beauty, the Big Bad Wolf, the hunter from some fairy tale, and more! They have a focus on calling multiple size 1`s to the field, but when they are destroyed, you can put them inside the pages of the Attributes most useful tool, the story itself Illusions Folktale, Echt Biblio, which stores all destroyed Folktale into its soul. Then on your turn, after you do a similar rush from hand, you can call monsters from soul through Counter Timing to gain ever more attacks. This also applies to your opponents turn when calling a monster to get popped which causes your opponent to maybe lose a monster or [>] a Gargantua before it can attack. Their big hitter though is a 7 crit Size 3 that can be counter called just like the other cards, but instead from the hand for massive damage. It is shaping up to be a fun attribute full of adventure and bliss. So if you find yourself always in a Fairy Tale world, then Folktale is the deck for you. This does not have a Start deck associated with it, so you can get all the cards by buying the Second S Ultimate Booster: Miracle Fighters ～Miko & Mel～ on September 14th.

Electrodeity

Waifu monster #2

The second deck in the Miko and Mel booster to be revealed in full from the show is the interesting new <<Electrodeity>>. Their play style is honestly the first thing I should talk about since it is what explains the whole deck. It is basically Hero World, but in Katana through the power of Spirit Medium. The main item in question being Kagura Bell of Worship, which allows you basically convert the big Size 3 <<Electrodeities>> in your hand, into Items to use in battle, known as "Buddy Possession". Based on various Shinto beliefs, a "Miko" (Get it?) has the power to conjure their body as a Spirit Medium to hold Spirits, which is what this deck strives to do. At the beginning of each turn, you Equip a Size 3 Electrodeity from your hand onto your item, sort of like Transform. Then your normal monsters do the damage along with you. It is actually really cool once they finally showed off the deck and it really brings up the "Spirit Medium" idea through the game in a nice way. The Spirits themselves however, also bring us to their aesthetic, with various Kimono and Robes of their lower power monsters, while the Deities themselves have very extravagant designs, befitting the Deity they are from actual history like the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, Her brother Susanoo, and possibly we may see Izanagi and Tsukuyomi as well. It is a fun deck for anyone interested in Japanese mythology and lore, as it perfectly portrays the idea of the Spirit Medium. So if you are of the Shinto Religion, appreciate the Japanese culture, or are those people who basically call this deck "OH ITS OTT!! ITS OTT!" Then Electrodeity, will shock you a bit! This does not have a Start deck associated with it, so you can get all the cards by buying the Second S Ultimate Booster: Miracle Fighters ～Miko & Mel～ on September 14th.

Dragon Blood Division

This might not even be the Buddy,
this is the only RRR Dragon we have

So because Corocoro decided to show it`s Dragon Fetish instead of the actual upcoming sets, we got a glimpse of a brand new attribute for the S Character Pack, which actually makes it worth it and not a pile of garbage, the Dragon Blood Division (Name Pending). The Dragon Blood Division will be used by Dan Yamada in the anime, and is more of an antagonistic deck, while all that we have seen now have been used by the good guys. Dragon Blood Divisions main trick is being tanks. They are basically the old Duel Dragon deck from the beginning of Buddyfight, brought up in a new way and given a bit of a power-up. Both cards revealed as of now, at the start of your opponent`s attack phase, can choose a monster, Nullify it`s abilities, and make it attack your monster first. The monster then is supposed to be destroyed by [CounterAttack] which procs the monsters second ability that when you destroy a monster on their field through a card effect, you get bonuses off of it. It`s basically a taunting deck that forces your opponent to either use effect destruction, or something else entirely in order to beat the enemy. Speaking of enemies, their designs are monstrous, focusing on combining dark, evil dragons with monster aesthetics, like Bloody Eyes here clearly having a Dracula vibe. Not much more is revealed about the deck, not even if it is a closed or open center deck. It is a nice concept and with the support coming, will turn out to be a good deck supported...on and off...for a long time in the Ace Era, much like their identity counterparts, the Dragon Knights, held in the OG Era. So if you like to hold your opponent down and make them hit themselves, Then come on down the Dragon Blood Division! 

Onto Hero World

The final part will begin soon! Hero World has finally been starting to get their reveals, and now at the time of writing, we can play Sky Machine Corp and Galaxy Defense Force. Battle Buildings still need to be revealed more, but they are <<Brave Machine>>`s so they will be easier to explain since theirs already so much support. I honestly was excited for the Hero World reveals, but playing them has been pretty weird. I am excited though to speak about them, and I hope you guys enjoy the final episode of this mini-series. Thank you everyone and enjoy your weekend! Now if I plan this right, this should come out on Sunday, and I will be at the Vanguard Sneak Preview...I like Megacolony.
