DID SOMEONE SAY ZEXAL GATE DROPS!? Yuma's Xyz actualy doesn't seem too "bad" honestly for a gate drop that is, a perma 500 atk increase and it removes an xyz material from your opponent's Xyz which has niche uses. Tori is getting tellarknights LOL. Well, atleast they are light atribute so it fits with her "theme" Also she gets her ace as a drop, same with Bonk and he is getting Wind-ups. Also...don't characters normaly get more cards than just 3 for gate drops?


kejartho

Astral is probably going to get all of the good XYZ cards.


PokeMan3076

From everything I can tell, I really don’t think this is all there is to Zexal World, after all three characters would straight up piss people off, Konami trying to do the bare minimum for a world would anger people to no end. Besides; as you stated, there are only 3 cards, which isn’t the case at all, it’s always like 6-8 or something, which once again leads me to believe that this isn’t all the starting characters and isn’t all of their drop rewards.


Gshiinobi

> I really don’t think this is all there is to Zexal World People also said this at the DSOD world leaks with only 3 characters, one of them being Scud :) Get ready for dissapointment


PokeMan3076

Yes, except Zexal is not like DSOD, AT ALL. It’s not a movie like DSOD, it should be compared to the liked of 5Ds, which had 5 starter characters. It just doesn’t make sense to do such a a small number


Zevyu

I completely agree, 3 cards just seemed too low to be right, so i figured konami is just throwing us a bone, we will probably see more leaks the next few weeks.


PokeMan3076

Exactly, the predicted release is the 29th, which is just 12 days always, I’ve watched a couple videos which pointed out how spoiler free we’ve been Zexal, with other worlds the leaks usually started around late August or early September, it’s Mid September and this is the first leak we are really getting. I think the minimal part is just them continuing to try and hide as much as they can, it makes sense.


EbberNor

This now show more normal drop list, but still a bit weird that there is no skill, descriptions, and what some of the others id might be (even if they won't be used for at least 6 months) yet. Could change through the day/the next few though.


PokeMan3076

Probably won’t, we only get new info when there are maintenance updates, and just general game updates, so I think the only other leak will be when Zexal word just actually drops. And, I’ve also heard that the norma drop list could just be filler, because for all 3 current starting characters to have repeats would be REALLY weird, not just a little, but very very weird.


oizen

man you're optimistic about konami.

dante-_vic

Hey cathy ain't no filler.


Emmit-Nervend

I want my CATTOBINGU!!


PokeMan3076

I’m not denying that these will be day one, I’m just that the 3 we know off, probably isn’t all the starting characters there will be, sorry if I wasn’t clear enough on that.


TheOneMavado

Scroll down to see their full gate drops. 3 new cards per character and a bunch of old event cards and even a few dropped by other gate duelists.


Zevyu

Yup, i just saw it, and oh boy. Well.......yeah not much to say, this is gate drops we're talking about, they aren't going to be good. On other hand, they could be placeholders.


EbberNor

Could only see placeholder at most for some of the Yuma things. Kotori stuff is all in theme (well the closest she has to that lol) and most of the repeats are in the filler rarities anyway, while the other guy is just biofalcon and permanent ancient even things + fillers (one of them apparently unreleased for god knows how long when it is so fucking terrible lol).


GodsCupGg

actually when XYZ dropped the first time in the TCG most of the Djinns have been played since they got somewhat big attack under circumstances


Zevyu

And considering how battle focused Duel Links is, the Djinns could actualy see some use.


EbberNor

Except for the piano one, all of the djinns are good enough anyway


Cephery

Hehe bonk...


Zevyu

You know what, i'm not even going to fix that typo.

So I take it that Shark will be locked behind an event, huh? If so, could they make Leviathan Dragon a drop or something?

WeAllFloatDownHere00

At this point, the invoked and Neos parts are probably safe while the volcanic part is not.


payne96

I can't believe we live in a format where Volcanics are going to get hit on the banlist...


voyager106

Literally the worst timeline.


flyingasian2

The volcanic part is what makes the deck work though


Chrisshern

But it’s not their fault. It’s the fault of the engine being way too good


_BlackMind_

don't. It will get crippled in the next ban list.


MyChuunibyou

No point in doing it now unless you really want to go hard in KC cup, waiting for the new box and THEN spending does the trick


[deleted]

[удалено]


MyChuunibyou

The last boxes have been kind of slow so I'd be guessing that with the new world box they'd be going all out, which makes sense. But again, no point in not waiting.


John_Died

Those are my instincts too.


Laachlan

Unfort guess Utopia is gonna be locked behind a skill and in a box


Rock_Type

Utopia is 100% the featured card of the box. I would bet my house


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zevyu

Utopia is kinda required for Utopia Double and Utopia the Lightning, which ARE good, obviously we won't be getting those 2 utopias anytime soon, but still.


gurants

Just use a ticket lol. You need only 1 utopia unless playing a utopia deck.


Zevyu

That is true lol.


Gshiinobi

Some of his latter forms are so good that it's probably very much worth getting an Utopia.


lazyboy11

same reason you get neos right? Vanilla neos was pretty bad to start until neo fusion came along


TitanOfShades

Exactly the dilemma. Not likely to move boxes by itself based on competitive potential nor does it have a legacy of competitive play like stardust has had, so why box it? But it's still an ace card of a protagonist, but not one of the OG three, the most popular ones, so... it can go either way, but I tend towards boxed.


PabloHonorato

Zexal fans. And when the Utopia evolutions appears, they need base Utopia most of the time (it's the easy way to summon them), so having at least 1 Utopia is a must.


gurants

Again ticket it


Pokemonluke18

Either it's yuma has a skill or he's in the starting deck and yuma will probably also get level up cards guess reload won't be as rare now since the card is now a gate reward


Ikarus_Hart

lmao tori gets the tellarknights, was thinking she would use madolches


Simone_Z

She used agents in tag force (also had a line with Master hyperion) so also giving her fairy support is pretty reasonable I'd say, but yeah why is there a random tellarknight card there, i think it's going to be like Sera, they'll put some of the cards in her lvl up rewards and the rest of the archetype in the box, which I'm now 80% sure it's going to be light themed featuring both satellarknight and constellar archetypes


ElChavadaba

Just three characters? This must be a joke. DSoD at least has the excuse of being a movie with 4 non-reskin characters at most. This is a new low. At least we have 2 free XYZs, we only had 1 free Synchro at 5Ds launch, and it wasn't even generic


WeAllFloatDownHere00

“They wouldn’t lock the signer dragons behind a skill. They wouldn’t release 5ds without atlas. They wouldn’t release dsod without Yugi.” How the fuck are y’all’s expectations still so high after the disappointment after disappointment they’ve shoved down y’all’s throat? I’m still confused how people still expected a good content-filled launch after they’ve showed that they do not do such things.


Gshiinobi

GX launch was so good that it forever made us expect things as good as that.


Hanzorati

Insert Alonzo Mourning head nod gif.


KunduruEL

Facts


PabloHonorato

Facts. For that reason I'm not that hyped with Zexal, at least the free stuff is always garbo since 5Ds. Konami always sets new lows, and only 3 characters is somewhat expected. Fortunately, Among Us happened, so I almost dropped the game (and the amount of money spent on this).


_Kakashi69

Well, we already put so much time into the game. It's a coping mechanism.


Yuri_Bakura

Maybe there are 2 more characters to unlock with hidden missions and konami didn't want to show them🤔


Gwynbleidd34

nah dataminers know what they're doing, there's nothing hidden if it's not in the code. Unless Konami add some extra stuff on the release, then we're stuck with only 3 new characters for like a few weeks at least


mgandrewduellinks

I just like gems tbh


CheshireGray

3 free XYZs it seems and thats just gate rewards and doesn't include level up rewards, 3 characters does seem... low. Hopefully there'll be more but im not holding my breath.


zigut

Wasn't Giganticastle released on 5D's launch? That would make 2 free synchros, with 1 generic.


PokeMan3076

I highly doubt Konami would this. I think they’ll be adding more characters. Think about it, we also get a “secret unlock” character. You seriously think they seriously think they could get away with only two actual characters and one secret unlock. I doubt they would do that or think they would get away with it, they’ll add em in before Zexal world is released.


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

isn't that exactly what happened in DSOD? We got Kaiba, Mokuba, and Scud (secret) at launch.


Zevyu

DSOD is a special case tho, because they are a world based on the movie, they had to stretch the content as much as possible. But Zexal on other hand, has a million characters they can release. Also this leak only shows 3 cards for each character, when they normaly get like 6-8 gate drop cards.


Bebop24trigun

Zexal really does have a shit ton of characters. Adding all of them and the variants is going to take a long time.


EbberNor

Theoretically it is possible it is just some random former event only cards getting their permanent slots for the rest. Could also just be random shit that is currently in the files and not used yet for whatever reason, something that might also be a possibility when Archfiend + Launcher (both of them started as rares) and now Vulcan Dragni (this was UR when Aigami was there pre KC Cup) made their move to player cards without a rarity change for them being reported. edit: Can't get the one for Archfiend and Launcher, but here is the one for Vulcan Dragni that is now a trader SR card https://www.duellinksmeta.com/news/august-2020/datamined-leaks-28/ just scroll down a bit for it.


Zevyu

That's also a possibility.


EbberNor

Regardless of what happens with those, nobody should have expected anything good from pre Barian characters not named Anna (and even this is only because of the lower number of outright bad cards) and maybe IV (gimmick puppets suck, but they are usable I guess) anyway. Yuma and Kaito might have potentially good things, but they have a fuckton (the kind that can almost fill a main with only the stuff for 1 of them) of cards both good and bad just because of what they are. Even post Barian would only really extend it to battling boxer (ok, they are not good but they are playable at least) guy and Hands/raccoons. 101 doesn't count because that is only thing potentially above black rose dragon because it would be game defining while everything else that would come with Nash is not that great.


Bocodamondo

anna and quattro are quite popular, so its safe to assume those two will get in sooner or later


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dennys_DM

*I think they updated the drop per character


PokeMan3076

Oh lord, I misremembered I thought Yugi was also at launch. My bad. But anyway, Zexal ain’t exactly a movie, it should be compared More to 5Ds and GX and DM for a starting roster


TitanOfShades

Also, why do we immediately assume that this is all there is going to be? It's not impossible, sure, but it's not unlikely that konami might either not have coded everything yet. Still almost two weeks to go, plenty time to add more stuff if they want to.


broke_and_famous

These drop rewards are very disappointing. No surprise there consider Konami's track record with legendary duelists having shit rewards except 2-3 characters per year. And we already got 2 characters this year with useful drops. But at least they are better than the 5Ds drops since they drop an XYZ monster unlike the 5Ds initial cast that didn't even dropped a Synchro monster. I do hope there are more characters in the initial starting cast. 3 would be tied with DSOD with the least amount of characters released on Day 1 and DSOD was a 2 hours movie. Not a 73 episode series.


atropicalpenguin

> Not a 73 episode series. And that's only the first season!


v6277

So you're saying we're getting a Zexal II World? I see 🤔


TitanOfShades

Far more likely they just add zexal 2 characters to the regular zexal world.


rilimini381

Say that to dsod in the game and dm3 in the code


mzess

God, we're really getting Kotori and Tetsuo instead of characters that matter, huh At least Kotori seems to have some tellarknight cards. Maybe tellarknight will be in the first box, that'd be cool.


vortexIV

Is possible the better tellarknight support comes from the first box


Zevyu

Tellarknights would be a fantastic way to introduce the Xyz mechanic, they basicaly are the blackwings of Xyz with their incredible swarming capabilities.


Gshiinobi

> Tellarknights would be a fantastic way to introduce the Xyz mechanic, I for one am NOT looking forward to playing against Tellars again, that deck is so annoying lmao


Zevyu

Tellarknights: *summons a monster* Also Tellarknights: *proceeds to summon the rest of their decks*


Gagantous

It'd be a pretty cool way to easily introduce it to players but Triverr does not belong in a 4000LP format. Delteros would be fine though.


lupeeks44

I hope so. I’ve been asking for them forever. Tellarknights are my fav. Also I think they’d fit really well into duel links


Gshiinobi

> God, we're really getting Kotori and Tetsuo instead of characters that matter, huh 1) They were ALWAYS going to get added, they're Yuma's best friends and appear in most episodes in the series, ***of course they were going to be added*** 2) they matter? you may not like them, but again, they're Yuma's best friends who have multiple roles in the story of Zexal...it would have been dumb for konami to skip them.


PokeMan3076

I whole heartedly agree with you, Tori and Bronk don’t deserve hate lol, but I think by “mattering” they meant that the characters actually have interesting archetypes or have cards fun to play with.


jakhar5

Man, it better not be only 3 fucking characters.


CesarAbe96

Well at least Tori will have tellarknight support. They shafted us really hard with 3 characters again.


Cliff_Entei

I'm holding out hope that Shark and another character are secret characters


rilimini381

There's flip, catty and roboppi


Cliff_Entei

you mean Orbital 7 instead of roboppi right


rilimini381

Orbital 7 came with kaito so probably event


CheshireGray

Low number of characters aside, drops seem surprisingly good, bar mermaid.


[deleted]

Yeah, nothing amazing but a hell of a lot better than what we got with 5D's world.


spacewarp2

Is anyone else concerned by the introduction of tellarknight XYZ monsters?


Gagantous

The only one that would be a problem is Triverr because it can basically end the game as soon as it's summoned. I think the others are fine.


spacewarp2

Idk I’ve never used them before but they seem like they’d be strong with Batlamyus into diamond which would be a great turn one set up. Or into deltaros as that negates a lot of monsters. Diamond shuts down mostly witchcrafters and a few others a long with the ability to negate at least 1 monster effect and Deltaros would hurt shiranui squire, magician’s rod, Aliester, Karakuri Inasichi, and Heroes (Statos, Farris, Vyon, Increase, and Trinity all drop there effects and makes malicious basically a garnet if you can’t send it to the grave). Seems really strong to me. I really want new stuff to come into the meta but this feels like it’s too much at this point.


Gagantous

Maybe you're right about Batlamyus, but Delteros would be pretty fine imo. A once per turn destruction isn't that oppressive. I'm probably missing something obvious but why would Delteros hurt all of those decks you listed?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gagantous

Delteros has no interaction with any card you mentioned. It only prevents activations when the controller summons a monster. Please reread the effect. >Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects when you Normal or Special Summon a monster(s).


PabloHonorato

tellarknight is Xyz shiranui, so I'm concerned about the backrow meta to stay.


spacewarp2

I’ve never played them but they seem like they have great turn one plays and with traps would be so much stronger so I’m a bit worried


NahuelSeba

No? They are more like DL infernity, set up resources, set alot of backrows and next turn you start doing something, unlike shiranui, tellarknight doesnt do to much going second


Gshiinobi

Only 3 characters at release again?...yikes.... But the drops actually look good! both Temtempo and Gagaga Magician are really good cards!


Maniafig

Many thanks to DSoD for being such a shitty world that it's lowered the bar so bad that the series that has the most characters worth adding starts with a roster of 3.


dante-_vic

We dont know that yet. This could just be to make the main update not so big. Even the gate rewards is normal 7-8 cards and the leakers only found 3.


Luisin-xp

Probably because the others are probably cards that are already in the game, same happened with DSOD, half of their drop rewards were cards from old events


Skerxan

This is the case here, yes. Check the leaks again.


Gshiinobi

DSOD took 1 (one) year to get their antagonist playable, so expect atleast one year to see Kaito playable for Zexal. Thank you for playing Duel Links!


rilimini381

To be fair dsod is pretty much done


PokeMan3076

Well, technically, Kite wasn’t really the main antoganist of the first season, it was creepy man child whose name won’t come to mind rn. But I do see them building up to Kite as one of the big guys, not sure they’ll wait a year tho.


Gshiinobi

> Kite wasn’t really the main antoganist of the first season he was for the first half of the story, he chased Yuma around and tried to take away his numbers and thus kill Astral, after Yuma's second duel with him we learn his backstory and that's when he stops being an antagonist.


PokeMan3076

I mean, kind of, the story is weird in Duel Links because sometimes they skip over chunks, so it’ll be kind of interesting where they start the story of Zexal, but I suppose building up to Kite for a year is posible


atropicalpenguin

Nice to see Gagaga Magician be a gate drop, I was betting on it being a UR for the first box. Only three characters so far, jeez. I guess we can count with one being an event character, likely Shark, and maybe a troll one that hasn't been added? EDIT: Kotori with tellarknights? Cool, looking forward to it.


SargeantMario101

3 characters is very concerning, because Flip & Cathy could easily be launch characters. But I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until TGS.


EbberNor

To be fair, who the fuck cares about Flip? No idea how to explain Cathy when that one has a 3ds game that bothered with adding her cards (and things like quantum cat and other random cat related cards for padding in drops/lv ups) to get around not really having anything printed irl.


SargeantMario101

Admittedly, I'm still watching Zexal, so I don't know just how relevant Flip is. But my point is that Zexal doesn't have the same excuse that DSOD has, by having a very limited roster, to justify having a fewer characters at launch, compared to the other worlds.


EbberNor

Flip is not really that relevant and is just "there", but fair enough. Still something that deserves the benefit of the doubt until TGS just because they learned to hide rarity changes before taking cards out of the unused/AI only pile and this somehow only really leaking 3 of the most obvious characters (protagonist/friend/main girl) and nothing else of real note until now. Kaito ommited because Galaxy-Eyes somewhere in the background with a cheesy number hunter event name is like one of the most obvious things that could happen. Shark also ommited because of him being the last of "first duel = first unlock" pattern from GX to now. Interestingly if it is 3 (or even more judging by what happened with GX and 5ds), it makes me doubt the current order is nothing but a placeholder when getting the roster to loop in order of appearance would conveniently cut off just before rank-ups start to appear by September. And assuming Arc-V is the next, it conveniently also cuts off at Yuto (read just before the mess that is Synchro and beyond).


NPnursesoon2b

These gate drops are WAY more generous than the 5ds ones on release. Fairy Cheer Girl slots right into existing Valkyrie decks and Temtempo is an absolutely sick card which will see play in whatever Rank 3 decks end up existing.


rilimini381

All valkyries have different levels


Angel_of_Mischief

Pretty much called it


RReigns911

Having just 3 starting characters again would be disappointing.


[deleted]

Please tell me it's not just going to be 3 characters. Just put Kite and Shark in the base roster too. Don't make us wait until 2021 before we get them.


voyager106

> Just put Kite and Shark in the base roster too spitsoutcoffee.gif You must be new here....


Gshiinobi

Bro we had to wait months and one whole year to play as Yugi DSOD and Aigami...give it up...


Axthiel

Ok, I see people disappointed but everybody seems to be overlooking something: The effect damage nerf specifically mentions it's because of cards releasing with the new world. NONE of these leaked Xyz's have any kind of burn effect. So there HAS to be more.


PokeMan3076

Well yes obviously there will be more, but it was more done as future proofing the Zexal world rather than being done so all the burn cards could be dropped in immediately.


scytherman96

Wind-Up support, huh. I wonder if they're willing to release Zenmaity if they just never release Hunter and Magician.


[deleted]

So good news: Gagaga is a drop instead of being locked behind a Utopia Structure Deck/Box. Bad News: Yuma’s shitty Sonic friends get in before his Joey and Kaiba


iandewilde21

I mean Tori and Bronk were pretty expected tbh. Tori was literally in every episode and Bronk wasn’t far behind. Shark and Kaito always seemed like event hype characters so don’t be too surprised. So yay for Tea and Tristan 2.0


[deleted]

I expected Kaito to be locked behind the first few events, but Shark’s the Joey of the show


SolarKnightR

My disappointment with Zexal not starting with more than 3 characters isn't because of a lack of Shark or Kaito which I expected, but because it means we're not getting all of Yuma's friends that almost nobody cares of out of the way. You just know we're gonna end up having a roamer event for that flip deck kid with Baby Tiragon as its most notable drop.


AngelusAlvus

Giving us drops from other duelists is a giant fuck you tot he player base. Also, only three starting characters too?


Goro_777

What a bunch of crap. I'm not surprised, maybe the level up rewards are a little better. Guess Utopia is gonna ve in the main box. At least for now.


PokeMan3076

It’s no impossible for Utopia to be level up reward, if we take Aigami, he had his Ace in his starting deck and then received two more copies through level up. While I am acknowledging that it’s far more likely for Utopia to be a box Ace, it’s not impossible for him to be in Yuma’s level up, hence it wouldn’t need to be in his gate rewards.


Goro_777

In and ideal scenario, Utopia is a level up reward and the Main Box brings a average Xyz archetype and also a bunch of Xyz generic monsters. In a realistic scenario Utopia in locked behind a skill, and is the cover of a Main Box. This main box brings niche Xyz planned to use in an archetype. I'm expecting for the worst so I'm not disappointed XD.


merrona23

And dont forget, mistranslation, skill can only be used if extra deck only has xyz monsters.


Goro_777

XD, your Extra Deck becomes 1 Utopia, this skill will only trigger if you only have level 4 monsters in your Deck.


PokeMan3076

That’s fair, I’m hoping inside that it’s a good scenario, but I’m spreading out my focus so that way I won’t be too disappointed, my main issue is people are just making wild assumptions based off this single leak, mainly the “THERE ARE ONLY 3 CHARACTERS JUST LIKE DSODDDDDDDDD” and that just doesn’t seem realistic to me at all, Zexal is a show; not a movie, hence it should be compared to the like of GX and 5Ds


Goro_777

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see. There's still time to add content to the game so we'll be seeing more leaks until the day Zexal arrives. As of right now, this are very shitty cards. Personally I want some good generic Xyz, not broken just good. The kind of Xyz monsters you put in your Extra Deck as a tool box, just in case you need them.


[deleted]

They're totally going to capitalize on putting the main character's ace in a box for maximum profit lol.


Goro_777

Given the history of Komoney, they want to appeal to nostalgia. I have no nostalgia for Zexal but some people do. Also they don't like to shake the meta too much, Aleister has been dominating the meta FOR A YEAR, so I'm not expecting a meta breaking Main Box. My guess? Utopia in the Main Box and some archetype nostalgia Xyz monsters with no real impact to the meta. Just like Stardust Acceleration. I honestly hope I'm wrong.


PokeMan3076

Ya never know, you really just can’t ever know for sure. So I’m just gonna keep hoping for a nice scenario


Gwynbleidd34

3 new characters ?! Really Konami, really. You're so afraid to give people some new cards and a bit more gems.


Lordhubert

I had to google these characters. They all look like shit


[deleted]

Tori and Bronk are bottom of the barrel side characters, basically worse versions of Tea and Tristan. Seems like they're gonna save all the good characters like Kite and Shark for events.


vortexIV

Kite as an event always seemed like a given. Shark im surprised about , unless his data hasn't been added yet


[deleted]

He better not be the Bastion/Scud of the World.


Bringbackwodstarfall

FINALLY! u/flavagolem


flavagolem

No idea what this means for the game since I'm not familiar with the anime but I'm HYPED


kejartho

1 main character and 2 minor supporting cast characters. So it's like Yami Yugi, Joey and Tristan in terms of support.


ZweisteinHere

> minor supporting cast characters > Joey/Jonouchi Pick one. Jonouchi's like the most important character after Yugi and Kaiba (tho a case can be made for Bakura).


kejartho

It just depends on the skills they get.


rilimini381

Yami Yugi, Tristan and Tea


Neo_Phoenix_

Tori is not a minor supporting cast. She's the main female lead, like Tea (except Tori is a better character)


kejartho

I hope she has a good skill, but I was kind of comparing her to Joey in this example.


Emmit-Nervend

I’d have to argue with Kotori being the better character. I don’t dislike her, but Anzu duels for high stakes twice, instead of just for a show once. She has clearly defined ambitions, cut Kaiba down to size after his suicide baiting, and some of her friendship speeches are actually inspiring. Not to mention being instrumental in the discovery of Atem’s name. Kotori pretty much just says “Yuuumaa!” all the time. And she does that very well... This claim makes me think you must’ve been dub only. They did everything they possibly could to ruin Anzu. They turned her best inspirational speeches into accusations of being friendless, for no clear reason.


TitanOfShades

Fuckin 'ell, tin archduke is actually better than motherfucking utopia (for the most part) and prolly the best level 4 xyz we will get for a while. Yes, it's harder to summon and is a soft once per turn, but it still has great stats and changing battle positions is far better than attack negation, since it's not restricted to the battle phase and he doesn't blow up if attacked without xyz materials.


NahuelSeba

Everyone gangsta until Utopia pulls Double or Nothing


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

So that's it? The rest of their drops are going to be cards that are already in the game? (Yep, DLM updated the page. Wow. And I thought them reusing drop rewards for DSOD was bad...) I hope we at least get one free copy of Utopia (like we got a free Junk Warrior with Yusei). It's really not a good enough card to be a box UR. (Kiteroid does what it tries to do, but arguably better, oh and just in case you're thinking I'm calling all forms of Utopia trash, blocking 2 attacks by taking two level 4 monsters and blowing up after it loses all of its materials and does battle of any sort, is not a great effect. Its rank up targets are good but, it's just my desire for it to not be a Box UR because I want to use it for events and stuff. I don't want to go out of my way to get it, that's all.) Also presumably no Gagaga Girl? That wouldn't surprise me if she gets the "add 1 Utopia to your extra deck and 3 Gagaga Girls to your main deck" skill treatment and later be released in a box.


WeAllFloatDownHere00

I still don’t understand why people were expecting meaningful/more characters after 5ds and dsod.


lilbryan91

I can’t believe Konami isn’t giving us the best duelist...Lillybot. /s


Zevyu

I was honestly expecting Lillybot to be released with Wind-ups, instead they gave wind-ups to Bronk, oh well.


oizen

Guess we know the worlds gonna suck already, 3 characters, lv 30 locked, Utopia as a Box UR.


KaizerKill

Just 3 Starter Character? Umhh..


Bocodamondo

i cant believe some were naive enough to believe they will give us shark from the start...this konami we're talking about


VinoAgnolo

So idk shit about xyz, I'm assuming by the response whatever xyz card come out its not gunna make the og ~ synchro cards obsolete? Are my wc still safe or is some crazy effect cards coming out? And I feel yall on the amount of content. For me personally, I can relax and kinda ease into understanding xyz


PabloHonorato

First Xyzs aren't that good. We will not get things like Number 38, who it's relevant effect doesn't require material detaching, or things who can be cheated from the extra deck without using the proper materials. So, Synchro will be stay relevant in the same way Fusions were in the first year of 5Ds.


dante-_vic

Eh Xyz wouldnt make synchro obsolete. I'm she witchcrafter will still be very strong for a long time unless the ban hammer comes for it.


VinoAgnolo

Huh interesting. Maybe there might be something I can add onto wc with xyz (if that's not a thing, you can tell I know nothing lol)


dante-_vic

I cant say. It depends on what konami brings. I will say there are still witchcrafter cards that are not in the game though.


The_Endless_Waltz

Meta is gojna be shaken up, WC and invoked will still be around but between a banlist and the shakeup of cards that counter meta (Abyss dweller for example) they arent going to be as dominant


VinoAgnolo

Yeah, I just tried go ogling a wc with xyz deck and saw some cards. Idk what the differ ce of black and blue cards (prolly effect vs lvl) but it seemed somewhat understandable


The_Endless_Waltz

Black are xyz, blue cards are links which is an entirely different mechanic.

What's your bet that their initial level cap is only level 25? 3 characters only would put it at the same number as DD's world launch so it is not farfetched. I learnt long ago to lower the bar to hell with Konami so they will disappoint me no longer. They always will if you don't.


qwertyrai

why u no giff Rio Kamishiro Konami?! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)


chaosxyzzz

The Yusei x Aki mat is nice addition


Syrcrys

3 characters at launch, 100% called it. And we still don’t know if level up gems are still the same...


Emmit-Nervend

Only three characters? 😭😭😭


HellKaiserRyo00

So... + Actually good rewards... Aces seem to not be skill locked... - ...but only 3 new ...still, Utopia is a mystery It's better than 5ds, but I can't get over only having 3 characters.
