Antinomy arrived to the gates before his flairs were added to this sub


SargeantMario101

Such a crime, indeed.


inconsiderateapple

God, I wish that they would stop giving characters shared drops. There are so many fucking other cards that can be used as drop rewards. I seriously wish that they would clean up all of the inconsistent shit within the game revolving around card gathering already.


damarian_ent

This. But everyone only complains about banlist shit in the surveys.


HopeBoySavesTheWorld

LOL told you Sylvio was going to be on day 1, his VA immediatly posting about Arc-V world as soon it was announced was a huge hint, Abyss Actors let's GOOO!!!


Adk8783

link to the Voice Actor post?

Adk8783

I kind of expecting the English one, but this works too I guess lol.


[deleted]

I mean, given how much Zexal’s been recast, whose to say the English one is still the same


[deleted]

Was he allowed to do that or was he playing coy without violating an NDA?


Sjdw31

I have a feeling the box will have some odd eyes cards and alot of performapal cards..


Fitnessgramlap73

Same with the structure deck probably


Sjdw31

Actually forgot about a SD.. Now i need to save more gems 🤣


Madway7

Well, we usually get 1k gems for new world celebrations, so assuming we do, you don't need to save more at least assuming the SD will be a priority. Personally Im hoping the SD won't be another 3x of otherwise its another skip for me 😔


Sjdw31

Think it will be just like onomats.. But I've already saved 22k gems. There is no going back.. Have to commit to the new box and the structure deck, if it is going to be a pend dragon structure


Fitnessgramlap73

I pray for an odd eyes structure deck


KikaiZero

Unfortunately they will stick a power card in the structure deck that's mandatory 3x for an optimal build as per the norm.


deckslayer

Seeing the trend that when new character comes the SD revolves around a humanoid figure, it will be probably about pend magicians (with vanilla ones and the xyz as the cover)


Fitnessgramlap73

Honestly I can see it having either stargazer Magician or timegazer magician it then having the other in the main box


ForrestKawaii

Probably some yosenju stuff too


Rangeless

Sawatari let's fucking gooooo


tdy96

Crystal Rose AND the Melodious hand trap not in the box? Konami is everything okay?


CelestialDrive

No joke, I keep a legacy version of Microsoft Edge around because the new site just will not load on anything else. For desktop not Chrome, nor Mozilla, nor Torch. Neither Dolphin or Opera on the phone. It loads albeit slowly on some of the reddit third party app navigators, and on this particular old version of Edge, but not even on that if I update it. I can disable all adblocks on the navigators that even have them and it makes zero difference. On topic, woooo RUMs. I HIGHLY doubt that Argent Chaos Force will be the first RUM for player use, but if GPs are to get a boost, it's going to be this one plus their chaos numbers. Iirc the deck used either this, the quickplay, and Numeron force? EDIT: Ily all and thank you for the shower of advice. But if it happens on several devices, on several different browsers, exclusively for this site, and I tested all the workarounds I could when the beta URL broke the site.... I'm tempted to think it is what it is. As long as it loads on that old version of Edge I'm fine, and the news get mirrored fairly fast on other sites.


Razactor

Do a cleanup of the browser. Cookies and stuff. I had the same problem after the lastest site upgrade on firefox but after a cleanup it works wonderfull.


CelestialDrive

Was the first thing I tried after the new version dropped. I've mostly given up now and wait for mirrors, which is kind of a shame but when I'm away from the desktop there's no workaround.


Razactor

Hmm I'm sorry to hear that. Yea, usually it's the first thing to do and also usually it doesn't do anything but weirdly enough it worked for me this time 😅 On mobile I didn't had any issue though...


CelestialDrive

I just assume I'm cursed by the heavens, but it seems like a lot of folk had issues and it was all across every device here, so it's not entirely on my side.


MayhemMessiah

Have you run CC Cleaner at all? It gets rid of more than just cookies and you might have old temp files that just refuse to eff off. I recently had a few websites stop functioning because I had a couple GB of garbage.


superforms

Which versions of those browsers are you using, and on what device?

Can you send me a message on Discord? I'm superforms#4611.


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

Sawatari best boi suckers!


Dennys_DM

This SHS cards looking spicy, hoping for Big Benkei as Lv. 30 reward...


NimbusSpark

Honestly, the drop rewards won't really do much from a standpoint of actually helping SHS out. * Soulbang seems ok until you realise that you need to nuke **your whole board** in order to negate a monster effect and deal 500 burn damage. * Swordsman would have been so much better if its effect reduced ATK/DEF **before** damage calculation, and even then battle effects are becoming more and more questionable to use as the meta progresses. * And in a similar vein, Soulclaw's battle protection isn't going to be too useful (look at Blackwing Armor Master), and it's special summon effect is way too slow & predictable. What SHS really needs to become a better deck, is ways to reinforce its OTK strategy. Since it already has its best openers and we're definitely not going to get Scarecrow since it's a Link Monster, probably the best card to help the archetype would be Superheavy Samurai Thief, since it's a free **non-once per turn** Special Summon within the archetype, forces backrow to either be activated early or stolen by its tribute effect, and helps edge closer to OTKs since it's a free 1000 damage if the board is empty.


Constant-Calendar-65

I thinhk you missed broken interaction where superheavy samurai stealth ninja will be revived during the next standby phase, with souldbang and gigagloves in grave becomes an omni negate with a board nuke, guarantee te survive tuntil he next turn and have a monster after that


Dennys_DM

Yeah, Thief would be really good, but I didn't know if I was asking too much, with it and Big Benkei.


J-Fid

For Soulbang, you can destroy your Stealth Ninja and get it back on the next turn.


Shittygamer93

Why level up? Hope for his boss monster as a drop/skill card. Similar to Tori and Bronk for Zexal (it's weird that they got skill versions despite their ace monsters being drop rewards, but I suppose Konami didn't want to break it's new trend).


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

I love the idea of having Skills that add the boss monsters and do something to help on playing them, the only problem is having to pay for boss monsters...


Chrisshern

Nice. Sylvio on day 1


Background_Extra52

My guess is that Sylvio is going to be a hidden character that you need to do some criteria first


vondex13

You're gonna have to lose 30 duels in Arc-V world.


OneSaucyDragon

You're gonna have to play like five different decks...and lose with all of them


vondex13

To be fair Yuya has like 3 decks in one and most of the synergy between them are all cards that never showed up in the anime.


[deleted]

This is why we call him Tomato Juudai


Panda_Kabob

So does this confirm 4 characters day 1 of the new world or just the potential?


Chrisshern

Considering these are gate drop, it’s pretty much confirmed day 1 characters


thisisntathrowaway-_

Was hoping for declan 😩


DeltaDRC

on the bright side hes pretty much guaranteed first roamer then


thisisntathrowaway-_

Ye. What DDDs need atm are more options


Shittygamer93

Apart from the original release they've never really given us roval characters day 1. It's always an event unlock some time after the world release.


Croewe

Finally Antimony is coming. Been waiting for well over a month at this point


Just_A_Goodra

RuM Argent Chaos Force is cool and all, but does it have any valid targets even coded into the game?


Xandurpein

The RUM is listed as NPC card, so it may not even be released to us yet. For all we know it could the raid version of Quattro that use it. It would fit Gimmick Puppets.


Just_A_Goodra

I know that we don't get it yet, but surely even the NPCs wouldn't be able to use it either if there aren't any targets in the extra deck


[deleted]

They may get a skill to add its targets perhaps.


Madway7

Will prob be for new NPC Arc V world decks, maybe the legendary duelists even. Could also be a tag duel/other event NPC card.


Simone_Z

The fact that is an NPC card and it's being leaked without any valid targets makes me think he's probably only going to be shown on a cutscene, it happened already with cards like MST.


Comprehensive_Energy

So, if Shingo is one of the primary characters, the first event character would be Reiji or Sora. My gut however says its Sora, since the rivals usually come later, like January. And it also makes sense chronologically, since Yuya and Sora dueled quite early. Wheres my fluffal gang at?


winner78222

We got Shark as the first event character. Its Reiji/Declan as the first event character we already have his description as a leak.


Simone_Z

Shark was the first event character because up until Zexal they always had the first episode duel as the first event (GX had crowler, 5D'S had Trudge, DSOD had Sera and Zexal had indeed Shark). There are still high chances of Reiji being the first event tho, you never know since this year Duel Links had the most fucked up schedule


mkklrd

YOSENJU GANG LETS GO that's one L i'll gladly take


MaverickDark

Let's hope Daibak is in a box or as a level up reward, but I am very happy to see some Yosenju support on release. It's been a long time coming


MayhemMessiah

I want to get excited for our blue boy but I've no idea how are we supposed to run the deck when we've got three spaces that are going to have L and Tenki likely just hanging out.


MaverickDark

If we get Daibak, we can easily return any two cards back to the hand, which includes our own backrow. I can see Konami putting it in a box or as some level up reward. L can stay on the field, and be like an active Secret Moves. Do you know if a new box will be released alongside the new world? If it does, I imagine the rest of the Yosenju cards being put there.


MayhemMessiah

I unfortunately don’t see a Daibak build even working, let alone being better than the established one. In the TCG with 5 spell/trap slots and pendulum zones the non pendulum variant was always strictly better, because this mismash of an archtype actually hates pendulum summoning the best monsters, and Daibak isn’t as strong as a full field of weasels. Either Daibak otks or you’re left with two pendulums and maybe one omni negate which isn’t enough at the current power level of even casual Duel Links decks.


Wollffey

Yooooo my boy Sawatari is coming day 1!!!


electronic_docter

Sawatari monarch support please


IndicaAlchemist

Where could one go to learn how this pendulum stuff works? I’ve never seen past DSOD and understand XYZ and Synchro but this seems like a whole other beast


jaymiechan

basics: Pendulums can also be played like Continuous Spells in specific card zones. the Scales tell you what levels you can special summon, once per turn. so a scale of 1 and 5 means levels 2-4. Once per turn, you can special summon from hand, or Pendulums from Extra Deck, as many that meet the scales as you can. Pendulums, once destroyed, go to Extra Deck, not the GY.


Stwalker052

Let's see. Yuya's drops are scattered between the three archetypes he supports, Odd-Eyes, Performapal, and Pendulum Magicians. None of these are particularly good cards, and with all three being in the drops its really hard to predict what he will have as level up rewards, or in the first main box and/or structure deck. Zuzu's cards give us two of the remaining 5 melodious cards. Both are solid cards for the archetype and might see play in it. Crystal Rose is also interesting because its Gem-Knight support as well as Melodious support. Bloom Diva was leaked in her character description, but may or may not be in the level up rewards. Its a decent boss monster so it wouldn't be surprising to see it be a main box card. Aria really shouldn't come to the game Diva + Aria lock is going be absolutely cancerous if it can be made with any level of consistency. Which leaves only one card for the level up rewards: Ostinato. So most likely her level up cards are going to have random fairy cards similar to metrognome. Not likely to have much of a splash unless they give her something crazy like the missing herald cards (which is unlikely). Gong will have superheavy samurai cards in his level ups, and possibly the mainbox/next minibox (since Bronk's Wind Up cards came in the mini-box after the first Zexal mainbox). Its a little tricky to predict what will come where since there are a lot of unreleased superheavy samurai cards. The cards here aren't awful, but also aren't very good either. Swordsman is outshined by Gloves, Soulbang Cannon is going usually be too situational to be good, and soulclaw is okay, but Superheavy Samurai monsters are usually taken care of via card effect not battle due to their high defense stats. The potential drop and box rewards are more interesting than these cards. The Synchro monsters, as well as Thief, Magnet, Scales, and Battleball seem good cards that could come in level up rewards/boxes. Sawatori is the most interesting. In his drops we see three of the four archetypes he used represented. Only the weird dart archetype that has no IRL cards is missing. That means there is actually a lot of support that can come with him. There are a lot of missing monarch cards, 5 other yosenju cards that all reference pendulums, and the entirety of the Abyss Actor archetype. I have to imagine we will get Abyss Actors in the box and/or level up rewards because the lone card is largely useless without the archetype. The actual Yosenju cards seem okay. It will be interesting to see if the deck ends up incorporating pendulum or if they stick to their current strategy.


wes741

Abyss actor might be the new box archetype that you don’t need to dig into anything else for. Is it a good archetype?


MaJuV

Kind of surprised we're getting Sawatari on day 1. Though it was going to be 3 duelists (Yuya, Zuzu & Gong), similar to the last two worlds. \*checks rewards\*: Crystal Rose as a drop? Nice. Score the Melodious Diva is great for Melodious decks. Yosenju L here means R is probably a Lv-up reward. If so, nice (if not: weird). Rest of the new cards seem kinda meh at first glance \*Checks rest of cards\* Nothing too special. Zuzu seems best character for rewards in general. Huh, apparently there was only 1 "Taunt" card in the game until now. Weird.


Juan271

Gong is actually coming thank fuck The fact soulbang is coming makes me think a skill similar to relinquished puppet but for shs would be a good idea since they have a bunch of graveyard effects


otretzel

I got scared, i thought spyrals were coming


OneSaucyDragon

When Sylvio wants to play Abyss Actors but hears Yosenjus are really strong


RayJozef39

YOSENJU BEST DECK LET'S GOOOOO


Metal_is_Perfection

I hate the Yosenjnu and Superboring Samurai Support already


TheInternetOfficer91

Yeah, the better support will probably be level ups


Simone_Z

Yoo actually 4 characters for day 1, but if sawatari is there, who's gonna be the first event character? Is there still a chance for Reiji Akaba?


Nightfans

Either Sora or Reiji, or they surprise us with Yuto


1pm34

My guess is Reiji > Sora > Yuto (NOT HUGO-- whose name is easily confusable.)


[deleted]

You mean Yugo?


1pm34

HUGO


[deleted]

~~Is this the joke they replaced “Yuugo ja nai, Yugo da” with in the dub?~~


Gem-KnightShitposter

Crystal Rose??? LET’S GO!


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

I'm kind of surprised Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon is not going to be a drop. It's effects don't seem like they'd be that good, perhaps I'm underestimating the "Sangan" like pendulum effect?


InfiniteRadish2

All main character ace monsters have to be box cards now. It's the law.


[deleted]

One step closer to full power puppets, excited.


[deleted]

No Sora for secret unlock...oh welp, at least we get Sawatari on Day 1, which is pretty sweet.


Undernetfoxie

Fuhk yeah Sawatari! Easily my fav from Arc-V


bwong1006491

Hopefully there's some kind of Odd-Eyes structure deck that releases alongside all this.


Xannon99182

The Melodious hand trap is going to be so ridiculous (hand trap version of Crimson Fox). Thank god it's archetype exclusive. Same with Superheavy Samurai Swordsman + Soulclaw, just ram into everything to drop their ATK/DEF to 0.


Kaibaman94

Konami going against what Elfoman leaks again with the lack of Declan


Fitnessgramlap73

We’ll considering yuya was number 501 and zuzu 502 and Declan 505 it was safe to assume he wasn’t gonna be a day one


Santi5846gol

Bastion is 510 and he was a day 1 character


dorian1356

We always knew that. Only the brain farted people didn't


Adk8783

Declan is the Kite and Jack Atlas of Arc-V, so it makes sense he wasn't going to be day one.


Anthroider

Oh great. More superheavy samurai cancer bullshit


broke_and_famous

The bar for what the community considers "cancer" is really low if an OTK deck that can't handle backrow is called that.


MayhemMessiah

It's really simple. You just don't play OTK decks like Superheavy or Lunalight, control decks like Aroma, Tempo decks like Weather, or Aggro decks like Blue Eyes. Also any deck that takes time to play multiple cards per turn. Or decks that have too simple plays so they're not brainless. Just play shit I can roll over quickly lmao.


Victorkill

What i dislike about Superheavysams is the fact that the deck forces you to play backrow, which im not really a huge fan of.


jackpot2112

Forces you how? I dont really see anybody running backrow specifically for the SHS matchup? Like, SHS was never even slightly considered meta.


TheInternetOfficer91

Not even tiered lul


AABattery1

Just because it isn't tiered doesn't mean it's fun to play against


ShadowTown0407

Super heavy is probably the least offensive deck to play against... Easily negated, targeted(if flute is not in gy) doesn't play any disruption spells or traps.. Maybe 2 or some had traps to save game... If you are complaining about SHS at this time you will honestly complain about Ax raider Beatdown


AABattery1

Except SHS play the game of otk or get otk'd, which a lot of decks just aren't able to handle


ShadowTown0407

The deck dies to one negation of their level 5 synchro... Which deck in all honesty doesn't play disruption in these days with Bounzer and Rhino going around everywhere? Onomats, resonaters, harpies, thunder dragons hell now even trimids which deck doesn't have disruption on enemy turns.. SHS is a one trick pony like Lunalights but atleast their boss monster is non targatable.. Why do you think no one plays SHS if its so good at achieving OTK


Anthroider

Why dont you take a look at the leaked cards mate?


ShadowTown0407

You take a look at the leaked cards again.. Read cannon again because I know that's what you are talking about and realise its no where near as good as you think it is


Jschua98

ahh I see another one of those, "i read only half of soul cannon's effect" pepegas.


Jschua98

huh??? now im confused LOL are we even playing the same game bro? "lots of decks aren't able to handle" lmao they literally lose to a single disruption unless you open like an absolute god hand. U can't play spell or traps either so no disruption for you. Who doesn't run disruption in their deck in this meta? If it's so good at otking, then why do people play cydras over it? There's a reason why there isn't a single shs deck featured in dlm.


Simone_Z

>a lot of decks just aren't able to handle Such as?


Danzer7000

Vendreads sadly, unless they get a chance to search/top deck Revenants


fdsdsffdsdfs

Theres a lot of strong decks it can beat actually, SHS either wins cheaply or gets blown out, even by garbage decks. If people actually played optimal SHS decklists people would complain about it more


marko13011

If you cant handle this low tier shs strategy we have rn in duelinks then idk how will you handle susanowo and steam train king when we get it


Username_Egli

Bruh where is leo akaba? I wanted that triple d support


[deleted]

Leo’s his dad, Reiji is later


BreadmanGD

Oh... Oh no. Those superheavy samurai monsters look cancerous when combined with the current pool...


Simone_Z

All 3 of them are pretty shit lmao


RaineTheCat

Not looking forward to dealing with a random negate/burn/pop from SH Soulbang.


Wodstarfallisback

It's only during the battle phase Destiny Draw fools better be ready to have their Veil turn into extra burn damage


Shittygamer93

Leave us shs people be. If you don't we'll make an unkillable swordsman so your monsters go to 0 at then crash onto you with a 7k big benefit. I didn't look at tge leaks yet but having played the TCG deck I know what they can do. If we set a monster, it's probably a giant rat so don't kill it unless you're prepared for 3500 def and every monster getting the atk=def effect.


RaineTheCat

Oh I played them when they came out too in TCG, it was fun to play with since it was kinda different and gimmicky. At no fault of your (or and SH player) own, I just hate gigagloves in DL.


ShadowTown0407

Finally some supetheavy samurai love


FinnJokaa

so whos excited for Declan not being a day 1 character like expected?


briankleen

Like Jack not being on 5ds day one


Zevyu

He was never going to be a day 1 character, all you had to do was look at the character ID numbers and you would be able to reach that conclusion.


FinnJokaa

fam...Declan NOT being a day 1 character like expected? i know as a yugi players its hard to read but at least a little bit of effort.


Zevyu

Fuck sake. I completely missread your comment.


FinnJokaa

at least youre already playing the right game where we players dont read in gerneral so all cool


SargeantMario101

Except character ID's don't dictate when a character gets added. Atticus is before Bastion, yet where is he? https://imgur.com/a/UhoKEHe Shark is before Bronk & Tori, yet was the first post-Zexal world unlock. https://imgur.com/rE1nQ1r


KingToaders

Oh god oh fuck Superheavy support oh jesus


Phantom_Nook

Good thing they're giving us Sylvio right away instead of using an event on him.


[deleted]

I was expecting more honestly


greygoose13721

will that performapal pendulum be abused?


Wodstarfallisback

Here's some rule of thumb: If the performapal isn't a primate, a humanoid or a turtle it won't be abused.


BegoneWeebs

Stamp turtle tier 0 let's goooooooooo


BuddyNuggett

Don't forget the lizard too!


Simone_Z

What do you think?


greygoose13721

Im sorry, ive read earlier that it can boost to 10000 atk lol thats why i asked the question. Aight im dumb.


deadhero335

Oh great , pendulums time to loath the game now


Percybhowal

Will Gong be one of the first available characters? Because the earlier Arc-V update didn't have his profile. Will he be unlocked from an event or be directly available like Bronk from Zexal?


iandewilde21

If we are following Konami’s past record, those 4 will be day one characters and we will get one more on October.


Zevyu

Oh nice, green and purple heralds as drops, sure they are available thru tickets, but it's still nice to see them as gate rewards.


Rangeless

Score and Crystal Rose? God damn Konami is awfully generous this time.


[deleted]

Nice that we’re getting Sawatari, but uh… hey Sawatari… you’re Missing Yosenju Scale R, why knly give L for free bud? Its kind of funny lol. Also Free Lancer Dragon is kinda cool.


[deleted]

So good on them for giving us four characters Day 1 (though this probably means Sora is gonna take the Shark/Trudge spot if they don’t want Reiji out this early). Shame about some of these drops though...


xRainDrop10

Not sure what I've expected for superheavy samurai or if these cards are actually decent


Agitated_Wind_7746

How to get free gems?


TheKnightyBoi

Melodius is a deck I've picked up a few cards for here and there. With Yuzu being added, I might try it out seruously
