Ryle is a rather impressive card that seems to play like a more extreme but resource heavy Tanjiro. 7+ connected fire orbs is a weird number to work with unless you’re making rows on a 7×6 board, but between having a self-contained LS and a 3 turn AS loop that comes with a ton of extra features on top of putting their colors on the board, he seems like a great future prospect to keep an eye on. Well, there is a possibility that their AS occasionally produces less than 7 fire orbs and orb trolls you, but in theory, that shouldn’t happen too often… probably.
Dizee is also rather notable for having one of the highest total combined damage caps on the game at potentially 29,700,000,000 damage. The irony is that she probably would have made a great sub for bartender Touka or Daki & Gyutaro, but her transform AS performs a Leader Swap which complicates that option. Her own transformed LS isn’t actually bad in theory, although it does have more moving parts than I’d like and doesn’t cover bonus attack, which makes it not an entirely optimal choice, at least in a vacuum.
Assists lately is insane. Those juicy 3+ skill charge with even more charge or damage buff. But i have no stone left so
The feet lmao
Yeah, it is a bit remarkable just how much attention was put into Olie’s foot. That and her feet are the only part of her to actually wear LESS clothing when transformed compared to her base form.
Wait how do yall now what’s coming in april
Nothing special, we just sacrifice a goat or two to an effigy of YamaP and pray for wisdom and insight from GungHo every other month or so. 😀
…The less exciting answer is the That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime collab was announced for early spring during the last JP livestream which strongly implies around April. PAD Academy in JP also reliably comes every April to coincide with the start of their school year, so it has been historically predictable.
Ohhh lol nice
