[YamaPeek] Coming soon on next update: New Latent TAMADRA for VDP!
YamaP is giving us more sneak peak from version 18.3 update. More Latent TAMADRA will be added in v18.3, and one of them is VDP Latent Tamadra!!
Reni thoughts: But… but I just rolled my first Shelling Ford…
The Latent Tamadra
Images from YamaP’s tweet. Again, as this is still under development, everything is subjected to changes.
As seen in example below with Aten , the Latent TAMADRA uses 6 latent slots. The description reads Ignore damage void shield when attacking with 5 colors + heals.
Wonder what other Latent Tamadra will come next? Attribute absorb and damage absorb, perhaps?
(Good to see that they’re charging their iPod lol)
Now we just need to know in what dungeon it will drop. But this is incredible for rainbow teams (and could be good for other teams were it not for color requirement), and it seems rainbow is becoming stronger and stronger
Holy Moly this is a game changer!
Watch them be in the mp store for a million each or in like some stupid arena where these are actually required to beat it.
Won’t be easy to get.
Absolutely amazing for no skyfall teams, rainbow teams, and no skyfall rainbow teams.
Rainbow teams are comin back, I guess?!
Jesus christ, look at that rarity! And that wireframe egg! While this benefits rainbow teams, there’s (obviously) some cons compared to regular VDP: no damage boost as far as I can tell, unlike regular’s 2.5x; access to 0 or 1 killer latents only due to this taking up 6 slots; and spread-out damage because of the match-6 color restriction. The damage loss could be balanced by rainbow leads having higher multipliers.
Wish they make some kind of overall damage reduction shield for teams that doesn’t have it
Some latent that can negate spin orbs would be nice
Also just rolled my first Ford :'(
This is huge news for rainbow and combo teams though.
I’m going to put it on my Zaerog-Core, because that’s absolutely hilarious to me.
All 6 attributes is really steep! Many ‘rainbow’ teams really focus on only needing 4-5 attributes and board changes that make boards with 4-5 colors are better for damage spikes. This latent doesnt give the damage buff a VDP gives and by the nature of needing 6 attributes the card will likely be doing less damage.
Unless an entire team is using this latent I don’t think it will change anything for rainbow teams.
It also does nothing for my crossy leads like Athena Another and Lucifer that I like using. VDPs suck on crossy leads.
6 colours arent too hard if you think about it. With board change actives you can VDP whenever you need to. Short CD actives like Aten will make VDP accessible almost any time.
VDP Latent is the saviour of the rainbow teams. All this time, rbw has always suffered from one major problem: VDP. With three ways of piercing it–awakening, active or damage control– it becomes a big issue for them. VDP awakenings would be hard to satisfy; cards with VDP active are few and have large CD (Dye/Dia, Shelling Ford, RAI); and damage control is quite difficult as some come with 1 or more absorption. With VDP latent, rbw teams can overcome that obstacle!
VDP Latent would be useful for rainbow cross leads (like Gray JP and toragon) and ofc for rainbow teams (like NY Reeche or VIdeal). Some rainbow teams like Dye/Dia might not need it at all (as he has 8 CD VDP active) but overall it is a BIG game changer for rainbow teams.
I have 2 NY Reeche and a bunch other rainbow cards that are eating dust. When this comes to NA, im gonna need it so that I have some use for them.
Was excited till I see it takes up 6 slots which is B.S so meh…
