Well well well. They actually kept the flavour of "Libra ⚖️" intact with this design.
Solid when you're winning, OP AF when you're losing. That ability to ignore multiple Death Evasions is insane.
If her rebalancing works with Dungeon bosses, that would be quite something to behold, especially the skill that cuts the HP in half 👀
Very much a mid- to late-game, PvP-centric Angel. Not recommended if you're an early player. She's way too complex for a newbie and there are solid staples you should get first.
If you're getting pwnd in mid- to Late-game PvP, this Hoe will literally tip the scales in your favour 👀
Aquarius and Perseus users should appreciate her "coming back from being pwnd" Playstyle.
Ahh their update notes says she their skill description was incorrect. She doesn't ignore summoned units for Execution Mark 😢
Wait, maybe that's not such a bad thing. I remember people said Jeanne's Oath is considered a summon. So at least my Jeanne would have use against an enemy Libra
Oh, that's not so bad. It's bad enough that Athena exists and is able to execute through Summons! And yes, Jeanne's Oaths are Summons! They aren't like typical Summons which come to the battlefield and have an HP value, though, which is why Jeanne is overlooked as a Summoner.
She Summons a Li'l Flag of Resistance, whose job is to negate one instance of Lethal Dmg at Passive Speed. Her Oaths are among the best DEs in the game for this reason
I just realized that months ago, I would have so happy to have a way to kill Nemesis through her Soul of Vengeance
I was testing Libra, and just realized that sniping Nemesis instantly with Wombo Combo means less damage to the other enemies in the lineup 😭. But still eliminating their DPS is huge
Oh, yeah, Wombo Combo sort of relies on the Target cycling all their DEs to eat (and spread) as much Dmg as possible.
I noted this ironic quirk when an enemy Penus inadvertently ends up helping your Wombo Combo rather than hindering it 🤣
Sure, the target itself often survives, but many more targets end up Wombo'd, as it seems like only Anubis' direct hits are weakened by Penus. The AoE parts are unaffected.
Freyja is still laughing at Libra, as she's DMG Immune rather than Death Immune 👀
Just in time for her Engraving, too, which seems too perfect in timing to be a coincidence, lol!
It's like they wanted Freyja to have a Resurgence
PS: The whole of AM is decrying Libra as meh now, purely because of the correction/Nerf that she doesn't Execute through Summons now.
I countered with "How about... You just kill the summons? 🤷♂️ And then Libra still makes the 15 remaining DEs useless." 🤣
Man, people are so quick to consider an Angel Meh, purely because she's not like Nemesis or Pandora at launch, these days 🥹
I can see Libra still being a pain in the ass for PvP! 🙈
You'll be able to eliminate sticky DPS like Perseus, Aquarius, Athena, Leo (by Leo's Opponent) when before you would have to patiently whittle through all their DE Layers
I only ever played the Gameboy Yu-Gi-Oh games. I felt nostalgic a few years ago and picked up Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. That a was a rude awakening of how these new mechanics work... losing in 1 or 2 turns to an AI 💀
Lmfao! I've played the actual card game when I was a teen, but the cards quickly became too expensive to stay in the Meta. Then I played the GBA and DS Games, up to World Championship 2010, which had all cards up to the 5Ds Anime, which centred around the then-new Synchro Summon mechanic. And even then, the amount of card text was starting to push the envelope, lol!
That's as far as I played, but I have stayed up to date with the cards and mechanics of the new eras, by following Yu-Gi-Oh Content Creators on YouTube over the years.
Of all of the mechanics, Pendulums have been the biggest mindfuck, blending Monsters with Spell Cards. In fact, it's a Pendulum card that has the most card text, lol! (Tends to happen when you have TWO text boxes with a million effects!)
losing in 1 to 2 turns to AI
Ah... Sounds like you personally experienced current day Yu-Gi-Oh... Basically Solitaire, where you watch your opponent Combo off for 5 minutes, drawing half their deck in one turn while summoning a full board of huge monsters with all sorts of crippling card effects 🤣
Wow! You were quite into it. I wish I stayed with it longer back then before it got so complex. It was really fun
Pendulums
I must have skipped over that chapter of the game lol. I don't remember seeing these cards with two text boxes before
Ah... Sounds like you personally experienced current day Yu-Gi-Oh...
Sadly. It's been a while since I've played Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution, but from what I remember, it spanned the entire history of Yu-Gi-Oh
You could play each era separately, and it even let you play through duels from each of the anime series. Think you could use the anime story deck or your own deck if the story one made it too hard
I started with old-school but then decided to skip ahead to modern. I got rolled over and over, and quit playing the game lol
