1. woah so much new content form gungho recently!!! is this a series or a collab or an event or what? it’s a series like Chinese gods?

   1. It‘s probably a new PaD lore/story collab like DBDC, Heroine, Draconic Songtress.
      Especially Dia looks super interesting. Basically a god-based Fagan Rai with lower cooldown but less firepower (at least on a regular board). New Mega Aten would probably a good pair.

      1. I do not think Dia is all that interesting, especially compared to some of the other cards sub/lead potential. Polone and Panumas for the five stars, Silvinia and Elsha for the six stars, and Alina and Dina for the seven stars look the best, in my opinion.

2. Got my eyes on rampaid

3. Panumas and rampaid are super strong for 5 star rarity cards

4. I want Eleme as a sub on my Yugi team but i want Dina for reasons lol.

   1. Eleme looks like a decent sub for Yugi, but I do not think he is worth chasing. He is outclassed by Yugi’s other subs; Dark Magician, Bakura, and Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #1. Overall he is not a bad card, and certainly not the worst seven star, but he does not seem all that exciting compared to some of the others.

      1. Def true. If I do happen to get him, I’ll use him but I won’t trade for him or chase him. I like how it seems like theyre trying to make TPA relevant again with some of these cards

      2. who is Elerne or Eleme ????

         1. Super early translation of Hermei.

5. I’d like to see a girthzilla write up first, but this looks very passable especially for 10 stones each. Nothing here is quite yugi i think

   1. Definitely nothing game breaking, but there are a few decently strong leaders or fantastic subs.

   2. Have you seen Gregory? How is that leader not comparable to Yugi? He has 7 FUAs, a 10 turn VDP board changer active, 2x all physical type monsters, also invalidates poison orbs and also deals 1,000,000. His transformation active even takes 2 less turns than Yugi’s does and, you need only 3 fire and wood orbs to reach the same attack multiplier.

      I’m not saying Yugi is bad but, Gregory is just what people need, as I’m sure Gungho will start pouring subs down toward him he’ll raise in usage. As someone who wouldn’t mind using him, I’m definitely putting up reserves in order to trade for him, as Pixel Verdandi and others are sure to help him evolve the meta towards wood leaders a bit more.

      1. True, his leader skill is definitely comparable to Yugi, and he was definitely downplayed by that comment, but I think you’re forgetting to mention that Yugi is incredible as a sub as well. 6 TPAs is significantly worse than 4 VDP + rows. Also, Yugi has some very strong subs, although like you said that could be the case for gregory in the future

      2. It is mainly a whole thing of Gregory is nothing too great right now. Physical is not exactly the most wide spread typing in the game, and only has a handful of good subs. There are even less good physical subs that have a good amount of skill boosts as well. As such, when compared to devil, especially if we look further at only focusing subs that fit their attribute activation, the pool is drastically smaller. The other problem generally falls around the fact that his leader skill requires “only 3 wood and fire orbs”. While getting six of the same orb on any given board is less likely than getting three of two different types of orbs, there are benefits to have that sort of requirement. The first is that skyfall buffs can help, of which dark does have two 99 turn skyfall actives. Of course, Gregory does have one for fire and wood, even if it becomes inaccessible after he uses it. The other benefit is that it is easier to have actives that fulfill the attribute requirements. Between just regular orb change actives and bicolor boards, there are simply more options if you only need one attribute. Needing two not only makes it harder to find such actives, but it weakens subs, such as Zela, who cannot provide both attributes from their board change. You can use two actives, but that means that one active is dead without the other for the most part, and that the other active is generally a supplement to be used with the first.

         Their awakenings also offer a different set of uses, which we can argue about which is truly better. Yugi offers high personal damage when VDPing, and dark rows for general team damage. Meanwhile, Gregory offers not as high personal damage, but is easier to fulfill, and multiple prongs can be made. Gregory’s active also makes taking care of damage void spawns easier. It also comes with the benefit of being able to heal while dealing damage with the tricolor part. The main downside here is that tricolors are less reliable than bicolors for dealing damage, and favorable distribution. The heal orbs could also be worthless, unless you have an active for converting heals to either wood or fire.Yugi, on the other hand, does not generally have trouble with damage void spawns. His active instead offers a, generally less useful in duplicates, two turn damage absorb void. This means he himself is handling a second mechanic, so the rest of the team does not need to cover it. Most cards with an active like this basically have a worthless active, given the dungeon does not contain more than one damage absorb, but the other parts of Yugi’s active are still relevant. Firstly, he gives plus two combos for two turns. This helps with rectifying the weakness “match x or more connected orbs,” leaders have. The other, possibly more important, part, is that he he converts two attributes, poison, mortal poison, and jammers into dark. While it does not offer a guaranteed minimum, it is rather reliable, and will most likely be sufficient for the task at hand. This is especially true when one of his best subs is Bakura, who grants poison orb skyfall, and offers a low cooldown active with a dark/heal/poison tricolor, which can be fixed by Yugi’s active if necessary. (Given that Bakura does come with the downside of having the chance of dark orbs appearing being a bit lower to accommodate for the added poison skyfall.)

         As it has already been said, Gregory has potential. While he may not be anything to great now, with new cards and buffs, and he MIGHT, become something on, or above, Yugi’s level. There is no guarantee that we will get the same degree of quality cards that work with him, or cards that fix some of the issues that he currently has, so I would not blame anyone for seeing him as not being a “meta lead”. He most likely will be able to perform well, but he will not be able to perform as well as top tier leads, only about half of which is owed to his sub pool.

         I would not call him a wood lead necessarily though, at least not a true wood lead, nor do I think that wood leaders are that far off meta. Wood has had plenty of meta leads in recent history, and a good few staple subs, namely Zela. Even the ones that have fallen out of S tier are still solid A tier cards in my opinion. The meta has been shifting around quite a bit recently, more so than in the past, so sudden drops and appearances are more frequent. If anything, rainbow and fire were practically nonexistent until recently. (For the most part, fire still is with one or two exceptions.)

6. Dina’s butt-and-boobs pose is so bad, somebody save her spine
