Materials and details later, but that explains the increased Pixelit rates in current event!
That’s all!
Nice to see more love for pixel evos! All of those Celestial gods look fantastic with the dual 7c+vdp (or 10c+vdp for Sakuya) and open a lot of options with their awokens+active skills, and hopefully give people more options for co-op and those with fewer options. Pixel Hera’s looking like a nice DMeta option too, here’s praying the active skill doesn’t need 30+ skillups.
The new witches are both cool and do neat stuff with the transform mechanic, having them start at 7×6 and then shift to something more “usable” with that effect still in play is really smart. Nere’s got a pretty small sub pool, being stuck with Dark Balanced stuff for maximum use of rows, but Awoken Nepthys and Halloween Verdandi both exist.
Faska seems a lot easier to play, you can just run whatever Attackers you want, and the HP statstick helps a bit with the fragility of the type.
In the end, I guess rows are lower-effort compared to combos… so it all evens out.
Overall an exciting stream, thanks for your hard work! 🙂 I’m looking forward to seeing the REM buffs too, all of those pantheon rolls could do with some tlc.
Since the skill changes with Pixle Zeus and Pixel Hera, it could be like the Final Fantasy and King of Fighters pixels, where they are already maxed skilled. However, considering they are farmable, there is a good likelyhood that they will require at least some, and probably many, skill-ups. Since they are getting a Descended dungeon, they might be seperate cards from regular Zeus and regular Hera, and as such it will just be farming their Pixel version. Otherwise, there will probably be an increased chance of skill-up in solo event, if not both.
Dark, Balance typed cards are not all that limited, unless you are just purely looking at rows. Even then, in addition to to Awoken Nepthys, you have Base Kamen Rider Black, Yugi, and Dark Meimei. If you add VDPs into the mix, you can add on Base Veroah, Dark Ryu, and Tokugawa. If you completely open it up, then in addition to Halloween Verdandi, you have Ren, Orphen, Hiei, Dark Magician, Noir, and Valentines Ney. Almost all of the good looking subs are either seasonal or collab though.
If you roll heavily into Yugioh collab, you could run something like Yugi/Guardian of the Fortress/Guardian of the Fortress/Dark Magician/Dark Magician/Nare
It would have a 4/360/4 with a shield that voids poison damage. Which is entertaining to say the least lol. Super heavy in one collab, but the subs are at least 5 and 6 stars.
There is also Revo Archdemon Lucifer.
Thank you for your hard work in getting the translation done so quickly. I made out what I could, but most of what is said, and just about all of the text, is completely beyond me at this point in time. As such, I really rely on these translations.
This is so exciting, I’m laughing at myself in the subway station. Can’t wait for this to seriously get to NA.
Pixel Chinese gods are super gold for me. Unbindable + 2VDP + 2 7c (and additionally +1sec) seems very legit.
And looking forward to farming with Pixel Zeus or Pixel Hera. Maybe I can swipe with Zeus for like 6 turns with a team full of him (cuz I’m weird).
Thanks for the translation!
It’s really strange seeing that the pixel chinese are so much better than the super revo, will we finally be able to reverse a reincarnation?
Pretty short stream. I really wish they had beat the dungeon faster because there are so many cards that need buffs. Yay Guan Yu though. It’s kinda a let down when they show the trailer for a collab but not the details.
New witches looks like great leads to start a dungeon with then swap. So glad I rolled Sousuke for Ina swap with the dark witch.
I mean, SAO collab is not happening for at least a week, since DBDC starts next week, so it makes sense. I guess you can use them for lead swaps, I did not think about it like that. To me their real value seemed to be in their ability to transform into a powerful leader while providing a 7×6 with no sacrifice to the leader skill, but that seems like another good option. Regardless, they certainly both look viable, and rather versatile in how they are applied.
I’m just glad GungHo let them retry after failing first run… As I told many, this is a stream during a tournament, so it’s never like the usual streams, or GungHo Fes.
The collab teaser has always been like that though, but it does gives them a second chance to tease, when the collab actually hits. :3 (LIKE DMC WHENEVER THAT COMES)
Is there anything special happening in the DMC series that they would be waiting all this time to align it with? Since it has almost been a year, and a myriad of collabs have come and gone, there has to be some reason for it. Either that, or something happened in regards to the copyright, and they just never bothered mentioning that the collab was cancelled. The latter seems unlikely, as I would imagine they have everything hashed out before they announce it.
Re: “Support us through comments” – this site is amazing and I check it several times every week. Keep it up! You rock!
The light attacker subpool for Faska is incredibly loaded so I’m excited to roll her. The only issue is that a lot of good subs for her tend to lack in SBs so her teams are inevitably going to require some sort of good method to stall the first few turns of dungeons, but once she gets past that initial rut she seems pretty unstoppable paired with something like Haohmaru.
I kind of wish they would have given the pixel love to something other than the celestials series. They got the super revo version already. Why not give the pixel evo to something like 3k or Heroes?
Off-Topic, but congrats on the site getting 3 million views!!
Woohoooo!! So crazy 😀
All of the rolls that are getting buff are my favorite monsters. Horus were my best buddy for a long time since the very beginning and occasionally find a way onto my team even now.
