That new Valeria card is such a chase…
GH employee: How many Faska leads do you wanna have?
YamaP: Yes!
In all honesty, Valeria is another good Faska option even though it might be hard to put a proper team together. Also, all existing pairings already dominate endgame content (mainly Colloseum 2) and having enough SBs isn‘t the problem in most cases.
Rikku x Distel is a pretty good sub for all the meta rainbow teams since his AS counters many things in A6 on a short CD (especially ATK debuffs).
More monster exchange cards?? Ew!
I hope I roll Rikuu & Distel, the art is so funny 😀
A lot of my trade fodder will be going to Valeria. Maybe two, so she can equip her glasses.
Hahahaa (same)
