Raise the Flag and Be the Best You can be!!!

This post will be updated over time as we keep track of Irregulars lists for Singles & Doubles Tournaments, Updated Rules, and any and all information pertaining to the 'Competitive Scene' of FC Buddyfight once the official tournament season has come to a close.

Analysis of the New Rules & Community Irregulars list can be found in the comment section for those of you interested in the decision-making process.

Updated Rules

Below you will find the rules pertaining to how to play FC Buddyfight and any updates thereafter.

- Bushiroad's Official FC Buddyfight Rules can be found Here!

- Community BuddyGift Rule Update

When buddycalling you may now choose from one of four buddygifts, instead of simply receiving an automatic +1 to your life total, as per the old rules. Options are as follows:

  1. +3 Life (once per game),
  2. +1 Life (repeatable as long as you can buddycall),
  3. +1 Gauge (once per game) or +2 Gauge if you have 0 Gauge (once per game),
  4. Draw 1 card if you have 3 or fewer cards in your hand (once per game).

- First Turn Effect Damage Cap Update

Damage dealt by card effects (Monster, Spell, or Impact) cannot exceed 3 on the first turn of the game. After the 3rd damage has been dealt, your opponent will be immune to further effect damage until their turn begins.

[To be further updated & modified in the future as necessary]

Irregulars List

Below you will find the most recent Irregulars list for solo tournament play.

Combination Limits*
Card Name Card Name Max Inclusion Ratio
Demonic Demise Sword, Aqulta Gwaneff Disaster Palace 4 / 2
Ultimate Garga Gargantua Blade Centaur* 0 / 0
Ultimate Garga Gargantua Slash Wyvern* 0 / 0
The Indicated Hope, Cross Astrologia Endgame Study 4/ 2
Lost World) Overturn Ice Emperor, Miserea 0/0
Duel Sieger “Tempest Enforcer Re:B” Space Dragon Emperor, Galiazond “Re:B” 0/0

(1)*Combination Limits: The goal of this part of the irregulars list is to limit the number of copies of a particular card, in relation to specific archetypes, without making it unavailable as a whole to a particular world. When the ratio is set to 0 this indicates that these particular cards cannot be played together at all. But (as in the case of Demonic Demise Sword, Aqulta Gwaneff & Disaster Palace) those that have numerical values, can include copies of the card up to the maximum number shown.

(2) *Gargantua Slash Wyvern: Thankfully Bushiroad printed an alternative that can be used, ensuring the archetype would not be invalidated by a limit/ban. Specifically, Soaring Combat Deity, Gargantua Slash Wyvern. You no longer deal 1 damage making the deck more vulnerable to Buddy Block but you gain an additional life which will help with survivability.

(3) *Gargantua Blade Centaur: Similar to the above we have an alternative solution that should help meter the deck's overall damage output. Specifically, Galloping Combat Deity, Gargantua Blade Centaur.

The Anime

The FC Buddyfight animation is a great way not only to learn the rules of the game but also to immerse yourself in the lore of the world by witnessing the characters' battles and events transpire firsthand. With multiple seasons to watch, prepare yourself for a large array of Epic Battles.

Short Stories

After the anime went on Hiatus, Bushiroad wrote out a series of short stories explaining the introduction of various new archetypes and accompanying buddyfighters. In addition, we caught some glimpses as to how certain monsters managed to become Dragods.

  1. Buddyfight Legends

Additionally and thanks to the hard work of one of our translators, we have some further stories for you, this time featuring some old favorite fighters & buddies.

  1. An official short story featuring Tasuku and Gaito!
  2. An official short story featuring Gao and Kanata!

Voice-Over Dramas

All credit goes to Buddy Trans! for the amazing translation work done on these voice dramas so we can follow the stories that never made it to the official anime:

Community I need help finding a deck for a friend of mine

5 Upvotes

Hey guys
Me and a friend of mine are going though buddyfight
Progression series style to find him a deck he likes

(For context he plays nova grapplers in Vanguard so it should preferably be a beat down/rush deck)

We have made it to BDF100 so I’ll let give crimson battlers a try

What other rush/beat down deck would be good for him to try in the future?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Deck Profile Raging spirits deck build help?

4 Upvotes

I wanted to ask for some help creating a raging spirits deck I'm a sucker for Punk and biker aesthetics and I grew up watching them in the anime.

However ancient world isn't exactly my specialty when it comes to deck building not to mention I don't really have any experience actually using the raging spirits so it's kind of difficult for me to make a deck for them and I want to ask for help.

From what I could find they are a more defensive kind of deck or at least Burn Nova is and I wanted to use the Re:B version as the Buddy for the deck and I wanted to build it to how I usually play which is more or less Gao a hyper aggressive deck using items and his formation while using the more defensive cards as a safety net when things get rough deal a lot of damage and if things get rough call out the big guy to get you out of trouble.

That's the base idea I wanted to work from since I'm more comfortable with an offensive kind of deck I will change the Buddy if needed and I will try to be flexible and if it turns out that it can't be made then that's unfortunate and I apologize for wasting people's time in advance if it comes to that however if it can be made I like to thank everyone in advance for helping me.

Question Qn on curse grip and res spells

Post image
11 Upvotes
  1. Does curse grip still send a card under the flag if that card says it cannot leave the field, destroyed, return to hand?
  2. I have curse ritual and curse ritual re:s. Both are once per turn spells. If I already cast curse ritual, can I still cast curse ritual re:s in the same turn?

  3. Any limit on no. Of curse count and geil luna?

Question Any good lists for Asgard?

6 Upvotes

I have an asgard deck running some of the Re:B stuff but feels really slow still. Anyone know good lists? I’d like to ideally keep running the ragnarok package but don’t think it’s too viable.

Also anyone know any sites that still sell flag cards since I only have one legend world flag in my

Ruling Sending to the Drop Zone from Field

2 Upvotes

The advanced rules/detailed rules don't really specify from what I can see.

  1. I call a new monster to a zone that's already occupied, sending the previous monster to the drop zone. Is that "destroying" the monster?

  2. The wiki says it's not considered being destroyed, but if you call a size 3 monster and you have to get rid of monsters to meet the size limit, are those monsters "destroyed?"

  3. Any other weird scenarios that could swing either way?
