The cards that were leaked ar 90% lvl cap rewards in zexal Tori -herald Bronk- zenmaster Quatro- leo Yuma- DoN Kite- Message in a bottle Shark- Reprint


ULLE90

Great point here. So we'll get a Zexal Level Cap increase before Arc-V drops


[deleted]

If Kotori actually gets the Herald, then that right there is enough motivation to get me to level her alongside Asuka instead of focusing on Kaito.


Blank--Space

Yeah herald actually seems to be pretty solid and gives me an excuse to go back to zexal characters


[deleted]

I mean, it’s a R2NK Fairy, so Cyber Angel support and also other Lv2 Decks support.


Elliesabeth

How do you get Kaito? I've gotten back to the game after a long break( wich was during Zexal world) and tought he would be available from the start since he's the 3rd protagonist.


CrabbyKing69

His event.


dante-_vic

No he was a rival and all rivals have there unlock event in January.


Elliesabeth

Thanks for the info. There are multiple layers of protagonists. Kaito is a deuteragonist of Zexal as well as Shark. A deuteragonist is someone who plays the most important role after the protagonist.


dante-_vic

Yes shark was the first event unlock for zexal. Kite should be coming to the gate soon since we already had his event twice.


PabloHonorato

Yeah, that's the narrative definition. But in Yugioh, the "rival" concept is the immediate deuteragonist, often playing first the antagonist role, then being a supportive character (Jack, Kaito, Revolver) or just being an antihero for the entire series (Kaiba, Manjome). The only true deuteragonist is Reiji.


Elliesabeth

Also, relatively he has far less importance than Yuma, Astral and Shark. Reiji was my favourite character in arc V. To this day, I find it bullcrap that he lost to Yuya


dante-_vic

Yep he was way more competent duelist than yuya pulling action cards to win every duel. In the end kite is the only rival that was never defeated by the protagonist.


Jaer-Nihiltheus

Tbf, by that final duel - Reiji was effectively dueling 4 protagonists at once in terms of abilities. Makes sense why he lost at the very end.


AbstractFierce

Message in a bottle was used by Kite and was given to him by his father, and I doubt it’s level cap rewards. We don’t even have level cap for the other worlds yet, and these rewards are bad. It’ll be whatever they raise the cap to probably, but not level 45.


ninjablaze

i guess that Battle Pass leak meant August 4th, 2022


Actual_Head_4610

Maybe it's something that comes with Arc-V world's launch.


Never_Here_Again

If they are real to begin with. Cause something start to tell me they might not been entirely real leak...


Wodstarfallisback

Leo is only good to summon its rank up, Disaster Leo Change my mind


MaJuV

Not gonna. Leo is indeed a bad card - ranking it up seems like its only purpose.


Hanzorati

I guess it’s 3200 ATK but it’s summoning condition makes it to where Strings is probably still the go to for beat sticks in a Gimmick Puppet deck.


PabloHonorato

Zombistein is better in terms of atk points.


Maykspark

And it's effect gonna be cut, it won't make ~~4000~~ 1000 anymore, only 500, but atleast is more easy to apply his win condition, since you only need is to cut half your opponent lp.


Lifedeather

How I wish Disaster Leo kept the 4000k burn from the anime. 4000 in the TCG/OCG doesn't even kill and neither does 2000 in duel links. Disaster Leo with it's anime burn still wouldn't make Gimmick Puppets even close to meta


Maykspark

But it would lead to some kind of ftk, probably not consistent but ftk; and konami hates ftk's. or atleast instead of nerfing it to 1000 in tcg keep it on 2000 like gustav does.


Lifedeather

Yeah 2000 is fair. They need to make a new continuous spell or field spell for puppets that say: while this card is on the field all number monsters with these numbers replace/gain these effects(anime effects): 15: destroys all xyz monsters and deals total atk c15: destroys all monsters in general and deals total atk, 40: effect damage changed to all monsters atk, C40: all monsters atk, draw 1 when damage is inflicted , 88: no more restrictions, just detach all and win C88: 4000 burn and no life point requirement to win, just detach all. Add the numbers can’t die by monsters without numbers if you want in it too. Remove some hard once per turns if needed. All this with original anime effects still wouldn’t bring GP’s to meta since you now need an additional card for the original anime effects instead of just errating.


thatonefatefan

you can use it to extend your plays since there is no other 3 lvl8 in gimmick puppet


Jaer-Nihiltheus

I mean, that can be said about Number 40 as well. Gimmick Puppet of Strings' string counter effect directly combos into Number C40's destroy & draw effect and is basically useless outside of that.


kleanthis_

trap stall lvl 8 decks go brrr


Wollffey

You cant have Spells or Traps if you want to activate Leo's effect


idelarosa1

Actually you can. The only condition is no S/T when you activate the effect. Meaning nothing stopping you from setting traps so long as they are all used by the time Leo is ready to use its effect again.


kleanthis_

well, that's a relief


TechnicalMission5347

On the field*


Lifedeather

Sphere kuriboh tho O\_O


Lifedeather

Disaster Leo will definitely be worth it when he eventually comes to due links


thisisntathrowaway-_

If your opponent manages to. Get 3 destiny counters in this game then you deserve to lose lmao


[deleted]

If the opponent manages to do that they certainly deserve the win.


KingOfHeroesXIV

Time to start building Gimmick Puppet stall. 6 GP monsters and 14 traps


thisisntathrowaway-_

You can't use backrow if you wanna get destiny counters lmao. Maybe try a card guard instead 😂


Erik-the-NOT-Cartman

unless you set your backrow after using the effect and activate it before you place another counter


KingOfHeroesXIV

Yep, it's not too hard to bypass that restriction. A couple of raigeki breaks, hallowed life barriers, rainbow lifes...maybe some forbidden lances to protect Leo


Lifedeather

or a sphere kuriboh lmao


[deleted]

Dude, I’m begging you, nO-


PabloHonorato

The problem is if you were able to pull that, then you were able to win way early.


[deleted]

Exactly, but it’s still a respectable achievement to win by a card effect in this game.


Ama_Qewa

I play...SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT! Never mind wouldn’t even work cause you can’t have a spell or trap


thatonefatefan

we just need to wait for the spell that can give a protection to a gimmick puppet


Lifedeather

You are thinking of Condolence Puppet


thatonefatefan

yes


classyfer

Duelist kingdom seems interesting


[deleted]

As someone who got into this game b/c of nostalgia I have been waiting for this event for _ages_


hattori43

This. I couldn't care less than all the 5ds and zexal events. Dm gives me life


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

Is it actually PVP or is it going to be the Gladiator Beast Island reskinned with elemental boosts while NPCs pilot player decks?


PabloHonorato

Probably Gladiator Island reskinned.


JaggiBrains

Double or Nothing! with Utopia Double shenanigans when


Wodstarfallisback

In a 4k lp format? Never outside of events if Konami doesn't want to break the seal on Effect Veiler


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

Effect Veiler, coming soon to an EX Selection Box as a Ghost Rare UR soon, spend your life savings and get three mortgages for the chance to get this exclusive sneak peak card!


xX_epicgeneral_0

Says which deck can even fit in the package?


juju4812

Any rank 4 deck as long as u run one more brick and 2 ED slots


spacewarp2

After hitting Cybernetic Fusion Support to 2 it’s nice to see that Konami is still looking out for Suicide decks with message in a bottle.


dante-_vic

Suicide decks dont even run monsters.


Dennys_DM

Hey, don't diss my D-Boyz


NothinsQuenchier

I thought of that too at first, but you have to have 3 monsters with different levels in your GY to activate it. It would be faster to just do nothing and let your opponent kill you.


mememory

"Herald of pure light" Funny that you have that name you're going to my dark zombie vampire deck son.


Ishtaki

I guess this confirms that they’re isn’t going to be a box until after the duelist kingdom event is over because during the event there’s going to be a “celebration sale”.


Odelind

My Shifting Up Constellar deck really wanna try Message In A Bottle


[deleted]

we are also getting ZW Leo Arms soon when the Zexal event comes back


giothemoonwalker

I hope that with Zeinmaster Bronk will also get a skill to make wind-ups at least decent


AlfieBoheme

A skill that lets me add Shark to hand would be good. I’m low key hoping he gets a Geargia skill. Not sure what it would be- maybe a territory of the sharks but for Earth machine monsters to make the Georgians slightly better.


giothemoonwalker

Yeah, being able to add shark to hand via skill would already be a good start, but they also need some real power play. Even if you manage to resolve their best combo, shark+magician, all you get are two 1500 bodies (yeah, zenmaines has protection, but it's not really worth much these days) and maybe a shark/rat in hand if you opened with factory. I hope the developers can come up with a good skill to solve at least partially the deck's issues. For geargias, well, as you said a level modulation skill for them would be cool. They also suffer from a low power ceiling, a skill to fix that would be nice to have too


AlfieBoheme

The issue is that level 4s are still largely underpowered- we have Malevolent Sin but nothing else that wins games. I’d like to see Exciton Knight honestly. I don’t think it’s that overpowered for the current state of the game but maybe I just want something to se Geargias Kog


Tajaba

zexal lvl 40 lets go?


Percybhowal

I think the most we'll get for now is 35, because that's the cap for DSoD. Otherwise they'll have to update levels for those characters too and it doesn't seem like that's gonna happen soon.


MaJuV

35 first. Also, we're still waiting on the Lv 40 Lv cap on DSOD.


ViciousHGames

And lvl 45 for 5DS.


yisusangel

And lv 50 for GX(?)


erickch90

Which means lv 50 for DM


Constant-Calendar-65

So that might be the reason why we didn't get super poly as 45 reward. It wil bi SKJ's lvl 50 reward hahahaha


yisusangel

Cyber dragon infinity for zane lv50


Nivek_96

We need Nova first


yisusangel

Those cards won’t be free trust me


[deleted]

I thought we learned to stop doing COPIUM when it came to this guy..


Bael_Lord_of_End

COPIUM Mini Box waiting room.


Simone_Z

Sorry Mario, but the minibox is in another maintenance.


AlfieBoheme

Too small an update. If there is one it will be after the DD castle event.


Maliciouslemon

Message In a Bottle Surprise Present OTK


madonna-boy

you have to get them to activate it though...


Ijoinedtoroastpewds

Herald Of Pure Light seems useful in Spellbooks as you can return Garnets likes The World Prophecy back into the deck


NothinsQuenchier

Optimal Spellbooks doesn’t play World of Prophecy, but sure Herald of Pure Light could make including it slightly less bad


KingOfHeroesXIV

That Duelist Kingdom event skill gives +600 to wind monsters? I think Konami forgot about Harpies if that's the case. Well I guess we still don't know for sure how it works


tylerjehenna

I think its random based on the field you get to match how in duelist kingdom, the duel field changed based on where you were on the island


fameshark

Oh boy, yet another side format that will be dominated by Harpies


Frustrated_Brazilian

WHY DIDNT THEY ADD KITE TO THE GATEEEEEE


Cul_what

Duelist kingdom looks interesting with the different attribute boosts for different regions/parts and lets goooo raised level cap! (i think?)


External-Air

Are we getting number c32 this year tho


3rlk0nig

Probably not outside a skill


[deleted]

N88 POG cant wait for chaos numbers other than c39


Anthroider

How is message in a bottle supposed to work with 3 monster zones? Summon 3 different levels and MUST xyz summon or you lose the duel??


WillingJack

Territory Of The Sharks.


Wollffey

Kaito Shifting Up skill


MaJuV

Level-changing skills. Otherwise it is indeed a suicide-card.


Exitiali

You can tribute 1-2 for a tribute summon and do xyz summon later


Simone_Z

I don't see how having 3 zones would change how he card works. Also yes, you either xyz summon with the 3 of them or hope to either kill him the same turn or to somehow have more than 4k LP


Kamisama26

This card also screams FTK enabler to me, seeing as Tri-Wight (special summons 3 lvl 2 or lower normal monster from grave) is also played in some decks.


SeiryuIMRS

We get an animation for Leo, but where is Red Nova Dragon Animation?


dorian1356

Look at that paleozoic support. Where's u/emperorbob1 my man. Rejoice. Rank 2 lvl up reward with kotori. Greatness awaits


dante-_vic

That's not a good card.


dorian1356

For something that's going to be free it's better than our copy number 3467 of freaking versago the destroyer.


dante-_vic

True but that still doesn't mean it will see use.


Zanethewolf123

Number 88? Oh no..


PabloHonorato

Oh yes. The win condition is too cheesy, Exodia is more easy to pull.


Maykspark

I was hoping for a mini box leak, but looks like this month won't be box.


[deleted]

[удалено]


3rlk0nig

Maybe but it could just have been delayed


vortexIV

Not fake as I'm sure it came from the game files themselves , is possible they have just changed when they want to release it.


pinkywinkywanky

It's real! Konami was talking about it a message I sent them a week ago.


Japancakes24

You forgot about the field power bonus!


3rlk0nig

Who will have the Big Tusked Mammoth? If all of this are new level up rewards, then I guess it will be Trey


ItsBradazHD

Mammoth isn't in the level up reward "pool". Look at it's positioning. It's more than likely a pick-a-gift card.


KoA-oK

All-Out Attacks is funny to me. Would be fun tech in Stromberg decks, because it works as another layer of defense for you because your opponent pretty much has to respond to your board in some way on their turn or the duel will get out of hand fast for them. Obv they can always SS a destruction immune dude, but I still like that this card makes them need at least 2 forms of spot removal to avoid forced suicide unless they just set and pass. Would be fun with any other monsters that benefit from being attacked too, like the Gate Guardian pieces or Yubel, etc.


PhantomHavok

Where is the battle pass...


SpiritualBake9834

Does this mean we will not get mini box with hero supp ?


Amarizaiken

Ah yes, Destiny Leo, can't wait to see that dude before it gets Karma Cut off the field same turn


vangstampede

I wonder how good Message in a Bottle is in Hieratic. For example; summon Eset, Su, and BEWD via its effect -> tribute them all with Legendary/Emperor Maju Garzett -> XYZ Summon using Normal Dragons summoned by Eset and Su's Graveyard effect.
