1. Still no equip for DReeche, Kuro, or DRaizer. What a bust.

   1. At this point you can abandon your hope to see any non Chrono Magia cards to get any new equip evolutions. Same goes to the dark version of Chrono Magia cards. DReeche doesnt have one because shes not an original character in Chrono Magia.

   2. why on earth would draizer get an equip? it’s literally an evo of raizer who already has an equip.
      on top of that, only chrono magia cards are getting equips, so that tosses kuro out.

2. New wood card has ‘Zhuge Liage’ in the name.

   GungHo has not forgotten.

   1. That would be because it is card from Chrono Magia. It has no relation, other than uses the same source figure, to the PAD card.

3. Ok so we got a new top tier wood lead that seems to pair very well with her two forms together.. interesting. Can someone please explain what, “for 1 turn, increase ATK by 100% for each Resistance-Board Restrict awakening skill on the team” means??? 100% sounds like it can be strong, but what is this resist? is this new mechanic we don’t yet have? Lol have we already awokened formed the phenom/ Artura active skill? And we got some cool new assist it looks like. I REALLY REALLY like we got these unbindable plus TE from such a low rarity card. Makes whaling for orphan look much less appealing (truthfully though I got all the other high cards from that collab and find that one to be skippable, even though I love ophan and think his forms seem very fun.) And there’s an unbindable card that gives AWOKEN AND REGULAR BIND CLEAR. I THINK THAT’S BASICALLY THE CHASE CARD LOL. NO FOOLING THOUGH THATS AWESOME AND WILL BE AN AA2 CROWD FAVORITE. ALTHOUH EIR IS ALREADY UNBINDABLE AND I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHO ELSE YOU’D WANT TO PUT THAT ON, BUT NOW ANYBODY THAT BINDABLE CAN BE UNBINDABLE ONTOP OF GETTING YOU OUT OF FUMA. SOMEONE WITH A LOW CD SO THAT IT’S UP BY FUMA BUT THAT NEED’S THE UNBINDABLE. SORRY I JUST KIND OF NOTICED I HAPPEN TO HAVE A HABIT OF STARTING MY COMMENTS IN LOWER CASE AND ENDING IN ALL CAPS. I JUST GET SO EXICTED AND HYPED FOR THE HYPE TRAIN THAT IS PAD. (and try not to become depressed about the dust balls in my wallet that used to be a paycheck.. NO MATTER)

   1. the board restrict im pretty sure means tape resist. so if you have one tape resist you will do 2x damage. if you have 3 you will deal 4x damage. im not sure people will be stacking tape resists unless you run double kuroyuri instead of inheriting 1 or both of them.

      1. Resist-Board = Tape Resist

         Increase 100% per awakening isn’t the same as 2x ATK per awakening. It operates as shown:
         0 resists = 0% = x1
         1 resist = 100% = x2
         2 resists = 200% = x3
         3 resists = 300% = x4
         (And so on.)

         You deal 100% more damage with 1 resist (x2), you deal 200% more damage with 2 resists (x3), and you deal 300% more damage with 3 resists (x4).

         Hope that helped.

   2. I do not know if I would say that the new wood card is a top tier lead, definitely seems at least decent, but at the same time she is nothing too impressive. Even with Zelas, she does not seem to work any better than already existing leads that can run Zela, and in fact seems more difficult and clunky. Her ult certainly feels more like a sub than a lead, considering she requires nine wood orbs to get the fixed damage, while having her multiplier attached to combos, and not supplying combos in anyway herself. Given you will not always need the fixed damage, and that there are other ways to get a follow-up attack, this might not be a problem. However, at that point it only seems useful when you need to get past resolve and VDP at the same time, and cannot just use a Zela active while having a card with a super follow-up attack, or do not get a good enough board off of a Zela active. If we are talking about an ideal situation for wood teams, Zela has been one of their best subs for a long time. If you do not have Zela, it seems even less appealing to use the ult as a lead. The ult seems like the second worst fixed damage lead without Zela, and a mediocre one with her. If she had plus two or three combos instead of the fixed damage for the nine match, and the base had the fixed damage instead of the plus combo, and a lower offensive multiplier with slightly different requirements to accommodate for it, then the pairing would be top tier. The way she is now simply does not do anything seem to do anything that leads like Yoh, Zela Kitty, Green Ranger/Komasan, and even Kurama at least to some extent, could already do. Sure she might hit harder than most of them, or has a bit more bulk than some of them, but her downsides just seem to be too much to make her all that interesting. Dual lead base I could see getting use, even to the point of being a mid to top tier lead for wood. The ult just seems to contradict its play style as a lead. Pairing the two feels like it brings the base down to the point where the two together are just mid tier instead of the base being high mid to top tier, and the ult being high low to low mid tier when they are leading with themselves. The only time the mixed pairing seems good is when you are unable to use a bicolor other than Zela, or get a Zela board that can VDP while being unable to follow-up attack or super follow-up attack. Overall, I would not say the card is bad, it certainly seems good, I would just not say that pairing the base and the ult as leads would be all that good compared to dual base.

      As someone already mentioned, the resist is tape resist, which unless it is for a challenge dungeon, you probably would not care about the burst active.

      Orphen’s assist is not even all that worth it anyway, as there are much better and/or easier to get bind immunity assists, especially in JP. If NA somehow gets Shinkalion, then that will be even more so the case for NA too. The only real merit that Orphen’s assist even had over other bind immune assists was its active, and maybe the super time extend if your team really needs it. Even then it seems like more of a niche thing then a must have, and it still feels a bit lackluster when compared to the others even with its unique parts. Chuan’s base got buffed in JP a short while ago to be a bind assist already too, so there already was a “farmable” one. Even without that, I do not think Orphen would be any more appealing for his assist, especially when his base, ult, and even to some extent his split ult, are all more impressive.

   3. 1 + {(multiplier value for the boost) * (amount of awakenings)}

      If only one tape resist awakening on the team:
      1 + (100%1)=2
      If two tape resist awakenings on the team:
      1 + (100%2)=3

4. Sad how if I’m not mistaken, the 5-stars are back in the egg machine for this collab. Kind of a weird move since the last time this came around, they basically got demoted into farmable monster exchange cards…?

   1. Yeah, they were one time exchanges last time. I could understand at least putting Delphine and Orpheus back in, but the rest of them still seem kind of weak, even Atlanta who was the only other one to get an assist. I guess that is just to avoid the REM being too good, or having Delphine and Orpheus being farmable after deciding to buff them as such. It is still a great REM, it is just unfortunate that the six stars have to take a hit in rates for the more lackluster five stars again.

      1. Same anon here. Yeah it is too bad they’re diluting the good lineup in this machine now.

         I’m mostly curious as to what the rates will be this time. Hopefully it’s not too far from last time’s ~1/3 chance of getting a top rarity roll, since they only made it 1 stone cheaper per roll compared to last time.

         1. They never touch the top rarity rates, obviously since doing that would mean they are moving towards forcing people to whale to get high rarity cards. When more cards get added, even if it is more top rarity cards, the new card’s rates are essentially taken from the lower tiers.

5. In case anyone was wondering, yes the rates for the top rarity are lower than last time. However, that is only because the individual rates for the seven stars, other than Reeche, have been lowered from 2%. This was probably done to keep it from being a 31.5% seven star six stone REM instead of the previous 29.5% seven stone REM. The previous Gungho collab REM, when it was a six stone originally, had a 2% individual rate on seven, seven star, cards for a total of 14%. Now that their are fifteen seven stars, and Reeche at a slightly lower special rate, it would be a much higher total top rarity rate than any other six stone REM, even six stone SGFs. With the loss of one stone in cost, they similarly brought the rates down slightly, which does make sense, if you looking at it from the perspective of the Gungho collab REM from last time. Inversely, the rates are almost double that of the original six stone version. Unfortunately, the individual rates, except for Reeche’s, are all slightly lower than they were previously, making it more difficult to roll a specific card.

6. Any of the PEM assist cards worth getting?

   1. Eurydice card maybe? If you’re short on bind immune assists.

7. Kind of wondering how the rates from a subsequent run of this collab would compare. But this is mostly me hoping the 7-stone format from last time won’t be gone forever…

8. I’ve seen someone in JP running both the new forms of green leaders. They work well together, but the 10 combo count seems WAY to much on small boards. Even with the one combo plus
