Heroine REM Overview

Leave a comment

Introduction

The Heroine event returns once again to North America and comes with a myriad of buffs for nearly every single card. Unfortunately, this event still costs 10 Magic Stones and the vast majority of the bottom rarity cards feel grossly outdated despite the buffs.

In fact, even the 6-star cards have questionable value with the vast majority of meaningful cards residing in the top rarity. While they do feature a healthy 17.5% chance of being rolled, they can simply be Monster Exchanged for if you feel they will greatly improve your Monster Box.

On the bright side, all cards feature Weapon Assists along with the option to pull five times at once. This multi-pull feature will grant players 5 random rewards but at the same time, will cost 50 Magic Stones and I do not truly feel this is a great place to spend your precious Stones.

As a whole, I feel that this is a skippable event from a rolling perspective but there may be some justifications in Monster Exchanging for several cards.

Thoughts on Monster Exchanging for GH Another Cards

Leave a comment

Introduction

The Monster Exchange System is one of the greatest improvements to Puzzle and Dragons as it allows players to convert excess copies of Godfest Exclusives/Event cards for valuable Monsters. This process will consume 4-5 cards each time so it is not a decision that should be made lightly and should only be done when it will improve your current situation.

My general rule of thumb is to always keep at least 2 copies of any given card due to the fact that GungHo has been releasing numerous split evolutions and it is impossible to predict what will be released/buffed next. A great example of this is Valkyrie Ciel who went being an underwhelming card, to having two incredibly powerful evolutions where you would badly want each version.

In this article I will be outlining my thought process towards Monster Exchanging for Orlando and maybe Milletia before it expires on Monday. Continue reading Thoughts on Monster Exchanging for GH Another Cards →

Sanrio / Hello Kitty Collab REM Overview

Leave a comment

Introduction

The Sanrio / Hello Kitty Collab returns to North America and comes with a measly 5 Magic Stone price tag. This lower cost enables players to potentially roll more liberally but the largest benefit is using 6* GFE as Trade Fodder. This is wonderful as many other events demand 7* GFE and it is possible players may be swimming in copious amounts of Trade Fodder. With that being said, players should always keep at least 2 copies of any given card as there is always the chance that GungHo will release powerful new evolutions.

While the 6 and 7-star rarity cards do not feature Weapon Assists , the bottom rarity does for almost every card. This can help offset the pain of rolling a Gold egg but at the same time, may make some of the higher rarity cards not as useful if you cannot take advantage of them as a leader or sub.

With that being said, I feel that this event may be worth a few rolls simply because the cost is so low along with such a large rolling pool which should help offset the chances of rolling a duplicate. On the other hand, this is an event players should Monster Exchange for as the cost is lower along with several of them being quite meaningful.

GungHo Collab: Another Story REM

Leave a comment

Introduction

The GungHo Collab: Another Story (Marvel Reskin) makes a debut in North America and comes with a 10 Magic Stone price tag. While this on the more expensive side, all cards feature Weapon Assists which can help offset the pain of rolling a bottom rarity.

GungHo Collab: Another Story is a Reskin of the Marvel Collab that occurred  in JP twice. While we do not have access to the newest evolutions/cards that were present during the second rerun, we did receive the awakenings and some buffs.

This puts us in an unusual place as this event will not be as meaningful compared to the debut and rerun in JP due to the delay and missing some key cards. Furthermore, the 10 Magic Stone price tag is quite hefty considering many of these cards may feel underwhelming.

With that being said, this Reskin uses GungHo IP which leads me to believe we should receive the newer cards during a second rerun which I feel can occur but of course this is still speculation.

As a whole, I feel that this event is worth at least a few pulls due to the fact that all cards have Weapon Assists and at least your first several rolls are most likely not duplicates. Just keep in mind that the majority of these cards will have most of their value as Weapon Assists and we can Monster Exchange for all the meaningful 7* cards.

One thing to note is that if you type in the NA card’s name into Tsubaki Bot, it will pull up the corresponding information but will have the images of the JP cards. Continue reading GungHo Collab: Another Story REM →

Kingdom Collab REM Review

8 Comments

Introduction

The Kingdom Collab makes a debut in North America and comes with a 10 Magic Stone price tag. While this on the more expensive side, all cards feature Weapon Assists which can help offset the pain of rolling a bottom rarity. Furthermore, due to the fact that this is a debut event of a newer Collab, many of these cards feature the newer awakenings and are better suited towards current content compared to older machines.

With this in mind, I would be inclined to do at least 5 or so rolls (plus free Memorial pulls) as the chances of acquiring a duplicate are reasonably low due to the large rolling pool and the fact that we have never rolled this before. Continue reading Kingdom Collab REM Review →

Illusionary Artists REM Review

Leave a comment

Introduction

The Illusionary Artists are a GungHo owned event that features numerous event cards that are lumped together with the REM alongside a sprinkling of Godfest Exclusives (GFE). This means that the Artists event will return on a regular basis and it is not a far stretch to expect buffs, especially for the top rarity.

On the other hand, the rolling rates are abysmal as there is a strong likelihood that you will not even be able to roll an event card, let alone the top rarity cards who boast a 1% rolling rate. This can lead to frustration along with those top rarity cards being potentially difficult to team build for as they require 28 Skill Boosts Skill Boost to Transform which will be challenging for less developed boxes.

Yu Yu Hakusho Collab REM Review – February 2022

4 Comments

Introduction

The Yu Yu Hakusho Collab returns to North America with various buffs for existing cards along with four new monsters and Weapon Assists for everyone. This does grant the bottom rarity more value overall but at the same time, they are for the most part underwhelming.

As such, I feel that there is little motivation to actually roll in this event and instead take advantage of the incredible Monster Exchange rates. This is because all trades will only cost four 6-star Godfest Exclusives which is the lowest we can ever go. Furthermore, there is a strong chance many players have copious amounts of 6-star fodder available and can easily pick up any card that looks appealing.

Due to increasing wrist pains, I have only done the overview section and will go into more detail via the Video Commentary. Continue reading Yu Yu Hakusho Collab REM Review – February 2022 →

Prince of Tennis Collab REM Review – January 2022

Twitter Campaign

If we are able to get the above tweet to 10k likes, all players will receive a free 7/8-star card from the Prince of Tennis Collab.

Introduction

The Prince of Tennis Collab makes their North American debut and features a massive roster of cards who all sport 2 unique Weapon Assists . This gives all cards at least some value and for newer accounts who lack options, many of these cards can be meaningful.

Generally speaking, Weapon Assists tend to be Powercrept the slowest which can give many of these cards a longer shelf life compared to leaders who can tend to be rotated out on a much more frequent basis. With that being said, the Prince of Tennis Collab does not feature any notable leader along with the bottom rarity having much less value for more developed Boxes.

With that being said, I do feel that this Collab is worth at least several rolls due to the large rolling pool which should hopefully lower the chances of duplicates along with many of the 7/8-stars being tremendously valuable.

Due to continuing wrist pains, I have only done Pros & Cons for all the cards.
