New player here. What should I do with the 30 tickets that I have ? I assume I open packs from the shop, but which pack to open with tickets? Also what about rupies and other currencies that I gather?

Hey Shadowverse people! I've never played the game, but I came across it when looking for art for a custom magic the gathering card I'm making. (Specifically, Mysterian Knowledge). I'd like to cite the artist, but I can't find the actual artist for the card (on a MtG card, the artist is always at the bottom of the card). Is that generally known? Any way to find out?

Like on turn 6 they spam a card thats 9 attack 9 defense that cant take damage and only thing that can change it is cards that change its attack or defense. Bane doesn't work on it nothing works. Then on turn 7 they buff it to like 18 attack and do 20 damage to your leader. Like i guess you gotta have a lot of wards and hope you attack the leader before they do??? Im just not vibing with the existence of this card. It should be a turn 10 card not turn 6

We’re about 6-7 months away from the game release if we’re lucky and they don’t push it back again. Would it be to much to ask for some new info? Like even just show us the hub world and how that works I’d love to get some info on that. Heck for lols give us a game of mahjong 🀄️ 😂

Hey everyone,

Currently getting back into shadowverse. Doing the storyquest first just to get the handle of the cards and actually finish the storyquest. Just really glad to have free trial decks.

Just need a bit of help with actually getting into ranked/multiplayer. What's the best thing to do or if there's a recommended deck list so i can at least match the meta of the game?

So Fortunes Hand is next this week for Throwback Rotation. I played back then but can only vaguely remember what the meta looked like. If I remember correctly Rally/Evo sword was still strong, artifact portal was good and spellboost became popular because of Runie.

So my questions are was Terrorformer Forest nerfed before or way after the mini, was discard dragon still good because I loved that deck back then and was Burial rite shadow still a menace after the mini?

Other contenders:

• When the anime for Shadowverse was announced wasn’t “Shadowverse: The Animation”, but an original “heart of the cards” anime.

• When someone misses lethal or fails the RNG terribly.

• When your favorite class gets nerfed or gets bad support in a new expansion.

• Shadowverse is put in maintenance mode (no new expansions).

• 5 rupees curse (nonexistent now)

Hello!

I used to play a lot of Shadowverse back in 2016 as a F2P and grew my collection quite a lot (I have over 170 hours of playtime).

However I stopped playing at all back in 2017, just after the third expansion I believe (Tempest of Gods), and I was thinking of jumping back in. However, my collection as you can see, its very old.

Is it even worth it to come back with that account? Should I just create a new one and start from the beginning?

I don't know the state of Shadowverse in 2024, rotations, etc. but I do remember the game being very F2P friendly, so, what should I do here?

It is even worth it to play again after such a long time? Or should I just wait for Shadowverse 2? (Worlds Beyond I believe it's called)

Greetings folks. This is a n00b experiencing the Shadowverse storyline for the first time. As it turns out, I manage to get through the Seeds of Conflict storylines but get another match loss while doing Erika’s storyline due to making some highly suboptimal and idiotic moves there. Below are the details:

I take on Arisa’s storyline and finish it with ease. Afterwards, I buy 4 Ultimate Colosseum packs and get a Gold Mirror of Truth from them. I then create this Swordcraft build and do Erika’s storyline. After clearing the first six parts, I purchase another 2 Ultimate Colosseum packs and get 2 gold Manifest Devotions, a legendary Athena, Divine Shield, 2 Grand Acquisitions, and 2 Clash of Heroes. With these new additions, I switch to this Swordcraft build that was based on an Axeman build from the May 17th JCG. I clear the next part, and buy another Ultimate Colosseum pack, which gave me nothing notable. However, I take another loss on the tenth part due to a nasty combination involving Night of the Living Dog and 2 destroyed Naterra Great Trees that put me on the back foot and caused me to make further errors.

I start cashing in my login rewards by redeeming a Throwback Rotation pack, which gives me a gold Empyreal Unicorn. I then buy 2 Ultimate Colosseum packs, which give me a gold Miyako, Pudding Poltergeist and a gold Grudge Knight. After clearing the Round 11 puzzles, I replace the Angel’s Grace in the Swordcraft build with an Unbrided Fury, and replace the Burst Tackle and Angelic Strike with 2 Shuriken Jutsus. I then take the Swordcraft build against Urias on Elite 2 difficulty, and win after a tense moment due to misplaying Back from the Brink. I then buy 2 more Ultimate Colosseum packs, but get nothing of note. I then retry Erika’s tenth part with the updated Swordcraft build and succeed this time. With Erika’s storyline complete, I create this Havencraft build that was based on a Summit build from the Heroes Unlimited event and begin Eris’ storyline. I clear it without any losses and buy another 4 Ultimate Colosseum packs, which give me 2 Demonic Processions, a gold Colosseum on High, and a gold Fearsome Fortress. I create this Dragoncraft build and work on Rowen’s storyline. I clear the first part and buy 1 more Ultimate Colosseum pack, which gives me a Demonic Procession and a Gold Kyoka, Prize Pupil. I then clear the next four parts and buy a Roar of the Godwyrm pack in search of 2 Wayfaring Goblins for the Atomy Shadowcraft build, but I instead get a gold Ethica, Firebrand Claw. I replace the Asuka & Shiori, Twins with the Ethica, Firebrand Claw in my Dragoncraft build. Then, I finish the rest of the storyline and buy another 2 Roar of the Godwyrm packs, which give a gold Aqua Fairy.

My inventory now has these legendary cards and gold cards, so I decide to prioritize using the updated Axeman Swordcraft build, the Summit Havencraft build, and the Dragoncraft build in that order of preference for tackling the Seeds of Conflict: Harrowing parts.

With the main Seeds of Conflict storylines complete, my thoughts are that the storyline was middling and below the Gears of Rebellion and Guild War storylines. I particularly felt that Eris’ storyline was weak due to the uneven pacing, and at one point of the story, I wondered whether I accidentally missed any of her scenes, as Eris seemed to gain knowledge about Erika’s presence that was not explained in previous parts. The difficulty for the Seeds of Conflict storyline matches was good, as all of them are beatable as long as you don’t make any stupid mistakes in deckbuilding and gameplay.

Thank you for reading this post. My next post will be made when I finish the Seeds of Conflict: Harrowing storyline.

Current loss count: 14

I can play a deck I love.
I couldn't update it further when the next set hit and it was to week for unlimited. Now with Favorit Quintupel, I get to play it again in fair environments.

Other than that, I can also play the cards I loved from the very beginning, but with a very buffed leader.

Just feels like such a good mode overall.

It surprises me how many people who play Shadowverse don’t know about shadowverse evolve. It really sucks that cygames isn’t advertising it more through the digital game. SVE is really well made and more people who play digital should give it a shot. For those who don’t know Shadowverse evolve is a physical version of Shadowverse it’s really fun and I hope you’ll check it out if this is your first time hearing about it

Hello!

I’m looking for a card that reduces the amount of cards in enemy leader’s deck. I can’t think of the name but I’m pretty sure it exists. I believe someone used it on me a while back but I can’t remember the name.

Does anyone know the name of this card??

I saw heartstone have a space set and mtg is supposed to get one so do you guys think in WB we get a space set at some point?

(Also if there is a space set already existing sorry I haven’t played SV for long)

When I entered the Shadowverse website, the last expansion was in December, and I remember that they said that the delay would be for nine months. Is there more or will the last one be in December?

Intro

I decided to give a summary of the flavour text for all the cards 🎴 in Heroes of Shadowverse.

Shadowverse cards tend to have pretty complicated inferable, but not explicitly stated lore. They also tend to be interconnected with other cards.

Also, this will help not get lost in case cards get added with interconnected lore to the previous sets.

==============

This seems like a nice warm up for the Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond sets. Since it is likely they have a similar attitude to flavour text.

=================

The voice lines might be mentioned where appropriate.

=================

A lot of the Resurgent cards have the same flavour text as their original versions.

=================

There is a possibility of someone on the Shadowverse team having the ability to go into a trance-like state Unconscious where their unconscious does most of the writing ✍️. So it seems best to assume things consistent with Unconscious/dream beliefs, even if they are not common beliefs among the public.

Common examples of this are:

• a whole load of things around true love 💗
• a whole load of things around wings of hatred, grown from undying hatred
• assumption of the supernatural
• amorality
• non-human centric-ness
• keeping things logically consistent, even at the expense of going against pop-culture or the simplest explanation

Main story card.

Succession of Balance

Main story card.

Dice Devil

Seems to imply that the devil is manipulating the dice 🎲 to make someone win in a casino.

The card effect implies they don't make it too obvious. They don't have the best option. They keep their luck within what is plausible.

Hypodermic Devil

From art, flavour text, and voice lines this implies the Machina bloodkin use technology ⚙️ to remove their weaknesses. For example, their aversion to sunlight.

Mono, Garnet Challenger

Main story card.

Aluzard, Linked Vampire

Main story card.

Red-Hot Gossip

Main story card.

Gracious Meus

Maisha, Hero of Tenacity

Main story card.

If you compare the flavour text of Quixotic Adventurer and Anarchy Lizard it seems like they are meant to be a true love 💗 couple.

With the plot being:

Quixotic Adventurer has a job exploring the frontier.

Quixotic Adventurer falls in love with Anarchy Lizard/Vagabond Lizard.

Quixotic Adventurer uses the excuse of him being a better steed than horses to have him be a co-worker. This justifies to his employers why they can spend more time together.

Also explains who the lizard is speaking to in his voice lines.

Isunia's Reconstruction

Main story card.

Avatar of Growth

Presumably grows infectious/harmful beings as well. Thus, from sapient beings' POV, he brings death.

Ironkite Elf

Together with the flavour text of Damian, Drillarm Battler, this implies the elves betrayed the world and sided with Belphomet when he took over.

They try to cull people who disobey the new regime of Belphomet, to force them to obey

Leod, Light of the Moon

Main story card.

Bayleon, Shining Sovereign

Main story card.

Main story card.

Tech Wizard

Eleanor, Beloved Flower

Main story card.

Tetra, Sapphire Leader

Main story card.

Connected Hearts

Main story card.

Djeana, the Brighthearted

Main story card.

Crystalshard Dragonewt

She is a dragon presumably isolated from her own kind.

She tries to look like the local sapient lifeforms to make friends.

She once tried it. Her draconic powers accidentally came through and she woke up having killed all her loved ones.

=======

Her effect implies she can use her powers to defend her friends as well. As they seem to represent her unleashing her true power upon her friends being threatened.

Also, that explains her wondering if she can be redeemed in the flavour text.

Overcoming Power

Main story card.

Mechasaw Soulshredder

Steelskull and Mechasaw Soulshredder are vengeful spirits, who have brought themselves back to life. This is by the power of wings of hatred, nurtured by their undying hatred.

Steelskull's body is fully machine. Mechasaw Soulshredder is a cyborg with organic parts as well.

A necromancer is curiously comparing them.

The first box of flavour text for Steelskull and Mechasaw Soulshredder are inverted. They are about the other being.

Steelskull and Mechasaw Soulshredder seem like they might be inspired by cancer/ghosts.

Raving Vampire

The vampire has psychic powers.

She mind controls a historian. Eventually completely taking over.

Eschamali Advocate

The Eschamali provide loans to help the rebuilding effort.

Outmoded Warrior

Ancient, otherworldly tech has fallen to Aiolon. It is studied to enhance the native technology.

Duel with Destiny

Main story card.

Benevolent Mother

Main story card.

Sköll Guard

The Machina and Natura people manage to reuse Belphomet's tendrils for their own use.

The Machina people build computers 🖥️. They use them to help the Natura people with their hunting.

Part of the beast folk taking over mostly peacefully. Her human warrior co-workers love her, but do not follow her to places only beast folk go, as the terrain is annoying for them.

Bun & Bar, Partners in Crime

Main story card.

Vincent, Scale Balancer

Main story card.

Arts of Trust

Main story card. 

Valdain, Bound Shadow

Main story card.

Steelskull

Steelskull and Mechasaw Soulshredder are vengeful spirits, who have brought themselves back to life. This is by the power of wings of hatred, nurtured by their undying hatred.

Steelskull's body is fully machine. Mechasaw Soulshredder is a cyborg with organic parts as well.

A necromancer is curiously comparing them.

The first box of flavour text for Steelskull and Mechasaw Soulshredder are inverted. They are about the other being.

Steelskull and Mechasaw Soulshredder seem like they might be inspired by cancer/ghosts.

======

The power that brought them back to life is implied to not be magic. This implies the power is an inherent ability of their souls.

The necromancer is excited by the discovery.

Lubelle, Necroshepherd

She brings back to life dead non-sapient animals. They are searching for their owners from back when they were alive.

Shared Goal

Main story card.

Also, implies they were open about their sexual attraction to each other from the beginning. And it is why they were motivated to become friends.

Nightmaker

The first boxes of the flavour text of Nightmaker and Metal-Blade Demon are inverted. They belong to the other follower.

Nightmaker is a demon cyborg. Metal-Blade Demon is fully machine.

Implied true love 💗 couple. Fully machine beings have no reason to have a biological impulse to reproduce to be able to feel insincere love.

They have children together. Presumably using supernatural for children as far as souls are concerned. Since Metal-Blade Demon has no organic parts.

Nightmaker becomes less violent with children in his life. He grows to love his children.

Metal-Blade Demon suggests using machinery to raise them, as their demon parents are not used to being affectionate. So they would be bad at it, due to inexperience.

Risewing

The way this make the most sense, is as the adult form of Robofalcon. The feather folk seem to look like birds in their larval stage.

Likely forms a true love 💗 couple with Ironknuckle Nun. Hence why Ironknuckle Nun has a special voice line for Robofalcon.

Selena, Clergy's Judgment

Main story card.

Sparksting Archaeologist

Some humans still exist in Aiolon. They will probably go fully extinct soon though.

Ladica, Nature's Claws

Damian, Drillarm Battler

Together with the flavour text of Ironkite Elf, this implies the elves betrayed the world and sided with Belphomet when he took over.

They try to cull people who disobey the new regime of Belphomet, to force them to obey

Nahtnaught, Dominant Queen

Main story card.

Avant-Garde Gravedigger

Necromancers bring the dead back to life easier with the new advanced technology ⚙️.

Vampire Croupier

Cheats on mostly on behalf of the casino.

Seems to make an exception and instead cheats on behalf of the sapient being who Dice Devil is helping. Likely due to demon kinship.

Garnet Rondo

Main story card.

Marlone, Pillar of Balance

Main story card.

Presumably, the flavour text is Marlone introducing himself to Nicola. Presumably with a subtle hint he would be ok if Nicola was a bit naughty made a move to seduce/romance/ask out Marlone.

Concordia

Humans are in poverty and famine. Concordia cries over this and the humans gain prosperity from where her tears sall.

Humans start wars, hostility, and prejudice over fighting over the tears. Concordia cries over this, accidentally causing more war, hostility, and prejudice.

==========

Roman goddess of social contracts (especially marriage).

Probably a metaphor/allegory for humans creating social/legal constructs like armies, governments, slavery, classes, castes, money 💰, marriage, adoption, etc. For better or worse.

They give humans prosperity to avoid famine and a lack of resourced. Though can be worse than the problems they were made to solve.

Humans make more social/legal constructs to deal with the problems of social/legal constructs. These are often made misguided and cause even more strife and misery.

Especially as they create a massive power imbalance as the nation with the best social/legal constructs becomes able to overpower its enemies.

Over the course of many conflicts, humanity slowly gets social/legal constructs, which are less harmful overall.

Meowskers, Shaggy Consul

Main story card.

Fettler Coyote

Wolf-like mechanical beings guard the magitrains from the horrors in the wasteland.

The system is eventually safe enough to have windows. Even if they might only be to let light through, with no fresh air.

Icey, Infirm Eternal

Main story card.

Dual Swords of Severance

Main story card.

Frightful Treant

Presumably psychic to mind control their prey into their mouths. Considering they seem unable to move.

Succulent Stegosaurus

Part of Dinosaur Island.

Part plant, part animal. Changed to this way to adapt to the Machina lifeforms around it/Machina body parts within it.

This confirms Machina lifeforms have reached Dinosaur Island.

Zombodroid

Started to move when exposed to Machina machinery.

Implies the world Shadowverse works on a system where souls do not fully leave their until long after brain death. Even if most worlds do not have the technology ⚙️ to bring them back to normal life after that point.

Gold Rush Necromancer

The necromancer uses the undead to mine gold.

1 skeleton breaks free of his control and ventures deep into the mines. To a place filled with noxious gases.

Heavenly Flag-Bearer

Presumably part of the Natura people suspicious of the Machina people to the point of avoiding contact with them. They seem peaceful, even if they are prejudiced.

Eschamali Peacemaker

The Eschamali keep Marlone's mark as a symbol. Even if it has no magical power anymore.

Shining Prayers

Main story card.

Warpath Fortress

Part of the technology ⚙️ before Belphomet took over. Its destructive nature likely helped Belphomet take over easily.

Riley, Soulshaman

Has a companion. Her companion is angry.

They seem to be asking the Undines (elemental beings associated with water) for support.

Her companion is also mentioned in the flavour text of Riley, Astral Shaman. They are a spirit. They seem to be angry on behalf of their friends.

Dilophosaurus of Decay

Gains poison from consuming toxic plants ☣️🌱. Uses a mix of antibodies and poison to make a toxic, yet enticing substance. To lure in prey.

The analysis of it was presumably done at least partially by Machina people, as the description seems beyond the Natura people's technology level.

Rola, Hellfire Dragoon

Has a mechanical dragon named Nova, Trusty Mech.

Enemy of Shipsbane Plesiosaurus.

Atem

Based on the Egyptian God Atum. The primordial God. Everything else, including the other Gods came from him. He created himself.

Duat is the Egyptian underworld.

=======

Seemingly the origin of the living beings in the Underworld of Shadowverse.

Explaining why underworld sapient beings like Khawy and Aisha exist.

Despair Reborn

Main story card.

Rosy Court Magician

A powerful mage. She presumably recently became powerful enough to challenge the king.

She sweetly makes a veiled threat to the king to abdicate so she can rule.

Metal Mammoth

A shapeshifter. They can take the form of a man. They are presumably sapient.

They are made with the otherworldly (from Aiolon's POV) technology of Outmoded Warrior.

Belphomet, Loretaker

Main story card.

Technolord: Origin

Someone is trying to access something they should not.

Technolord gets mad and tries to eliminate them.

Drache, Soaring Flare

Main story card.

Grasping Spider

The spider has cursed threads. They are psychic, hence they drive people to madness, even if they block their sense organs.

Enemy of Neun, Daybreak Vampire.

Chaotic Chimera

Seems to be the origin of Holy King Lion. Summoned by Superior Contractor.

The flavour text of Superior Contractor and Chaotic Chimera imply a dark reality. The clergy worshipped the lion as a holy being from Heaven. Though the lion was really demon possessed and willingly did the work of demons.

The flavour text of Chaotic Chimera is probably a sign the lion and the demon he shares a body with are meant to be a true love 💗 couple. With all of the text being a double entendre for their sex life. As well as how they met.

Postapocalyptic Girls

Girls created by lab experiments escape their lab, due to the apocalypse.

They do experiments of their own.

They miss their creator though. Their creator was presumably a parental figure to them, who made them obey rules intended for the girls' own benefit.

They miss their parent, even if they like the freedom it gives.

I know that Cygames couldn’t care less about unlimited, but holy shit has anyone else tried this format recently?

90% of matches are against Departed Soultaker shadow because if lucky enough it can OTK on turn 4, and pretty much guarantees a win on turn 5. You either have to play a direct counter or just play the deck itself. How long does a deck usually dominate the format before Cygames decides to finally nerf it? I’ve seen overpowered decks but this is just a little insane.

Hello folks, this is a n00b experiencing the Shadowverse storyline for the first time. As it turns out, I slip up and take two more losses in the course of completing the Gears of Rebellion: Uprising, one of which was due to my Bloodcraft build’s underwhelming power and another due to a confluence of horrible choices and factors during the matchup with Belphomet. Below are the details:

On the fourth part, I get my ass kicked since the Enforcer managed to summon Heavenly Aegis and an Ironknuckle Nun, which prevented me from being able to deal the last 3 points of damage from my Whiplash Imp’s enhance effect. I cash in on my login rewards and buy a Storm Over Rivayle pack, which give me a gold Graceful Maneuver, a gold Greatpick Corpse, and a Scrappy Werewolf. I replace the Silverchain Disciple with the Scrappy Werewolf, and clear the Round 9 puzzle set. I then use the Runecraft build against Rowen on Elite 2 difficulty and win the match, and buy 3 Storm over Rivayle Packs, which give me a Vagabond Lizard and 3 Quixotic Adventurers. In the Bloodcraft build, I replace the Dancing Beast Girl, Angel of Boons, Moonrise Werewolf, and a Bat Usher with a Vagabond Lizard, 2 Quixotic Adventurers, and an Angelic Starsitter. I then repeat the fourth part and barely win this time thanks to an Angel of Adjudication’s Enhance effect. I buy another Storm over Rivayle pack, and obtain a gold Radical Gunslinger. The Runecraft build managed to get me a decent win on the sixth part, and I make this Shadowcraft build for the seventh part, which was able to clear it without too much of an issue. The eighth part was finished, thanks to my Portalcraft build being able to pump out Radiant Artifacts and Airstrike Artifacts with relative quickness. The two Storm Over Rivayle packs I buy during this process gives me a Cursed Coin. I bring in the Runecraft build for the tenth part, which leads to a humiliating defeat due to my hand getting packed with 2 Secrets of Onmydo and a Guild Assembly that had no use since I was going second. Because I foolishly used a Tyrannical Force too soon, I only manage to get Belphomet to 2 defense while his army and the buildup of Tyrannical Forces finish me off at turn 11.

After finishing the Round 10 puzzles, I use the Runecraft build against Luna on Elite 2 difficulty and barely win due to Mordecai the Duelist antics from her side. I buy one more Storm over Rivayle packs and get 2 Gold Elemental Brinks and a Cursed Coin. I then buy one Ultimate Colosseum pack in search of 3 copies of Demonic Procession for the planned Atomy Shadowcraft build. While the pack did not contain any such copies, I do get a gold Phantom Blade Wielder from it. I then try the tenth part again with the Runecraft build and win on my sixth turn this time. I finish the rest of the storyline and buy another Ultimate Colosseum pack, which gives me a gold Miyako, Pudding Poltergeist and a gold Shuten-Doji.

With my inventory containing these legendary cards and gold cards, I decide to start the Seeds of Conflict storylines with Arisa using this Forestcraft build. After completing her storyline, I will probably be doing Erika’s storyline next. It’s not too clear on whether Rowen or Eris will be the third hero that I work on, as I feel that the pools are equal enough in power that a couple of rares could tip the scales in either direction by the time I finish with Arisa and Erika’s storylines.

My opinion is that the Gears of Rebellion: Uprising storyline was decent, as it was certainly better than the Morning Star, but it was a tad below The Guild War storyline when it came to content. Some of this was due to the straightforward nature of how the story progressed, and the music creation and selection was just okay. The difficulty of the Gears of Rebellion: Uprising’s matches was definitely on the harder side for sure, and I definitely felt that I needed some very careful thinking to accommodate the special features present when facing off against each of the Furies and Belphomet. In particular, I am going to be doing some serious revamping of my Bloodcraft build to try to increase the deck’s synergy. The conclusion’s cliffhanger was nice, and I am looking forward to seeing how the Seeds of Conflict storylines tie in on the Gears of Rebellion arc.

Thank you for reading this post. My next post will be made when I finish the Seeds of Conflict storylines.

That heavenly choir theme that plays whenever he uses inverted wings? Does anyone know the name of the ost?

Hello folks, this is a n00b experiencing the Shadowverse storyline for the first time. I lost more matches than I expected before I finished the Gears of Rebellion storylines, so things are definitely heating up. Below are the details:

I begin Isabelle’s storyline in the Gears of Rebellion chapter and finish the first part. I then decide to read the Guild War: Reconstruction chapter to keep things within the storyline’s framework. After doing that, I complete the rest of Isabelle’s storyline and buy 3 Heroes of Rivenbrandt packs, which give me a Familiar’s Pact that I use to replace the Fallen Angel’s Blessing in my Runecraft build. After some consideration, I choose to take on Yuwan’s storyline next with this Portalcraft build. I clear the first eight parts, and buy 2 more Heroes of Rivenbrandt pack, which provide me with a legendary Retrafia, Divine Mother, 2 Send In the Troops, a gold Seeker of Love, and a gold Coral Spirit. I finish the rest of Yuwan’s storyline and buy a Fortune’s Hand pack, and get a Pompous Summons, which allows me to focus on buying Edge of Paradise packs with future rupies I collect in order to get 3 Haggler’s Gambits. I next do Urias’s storyline with this Bloodcraft build and clear the first three parts with ease. However, I take a loss on the fourth part where Tetra had just enough power to kill my sole Lizardman and remove my remaining 11 defense in one go.

I cash in my login rewards and first redeem my 4 Throwback Rotation packs, 2 of which came from the new season release bonus. I get a gold Thornclad Arbiter, a gold Guild Assembly, a gold Eternal Contract, a Harvest Imp, and a Bat Usher. In my Runecraft build, I replace the Angelic Strike with the Guild Assembly. Next, I replace the Burst Tackle with the Eternal Contract, the Devilish Flautist with the Bat Usher, and the Silverchain Disciple with the Harvest Imp in my Bloodcraft build. I then buy 6 Edge of Paradise packs and get a legendary Artic Chimera, a gold Trigger-happy Puppeteer, a gold Illusions of Comfort, 2 gold Frostbite Dragons, a Chakram Wizard, a legendary Lord of Devastation, a gold Eternal Contract, a Dream Come True, a Haggler’s Gambit, and 2 Silvernail Blasters. I replace the Blau, the Valkyrie with the Arctic Chimera, the Hermit of Truth with the Chakram Wizard, and the Ice Storm with the Dream Come True in the Runecraft build. Next, I replace the Loathing Desire with the Eternal Contract and the 2 Hermit of Lusts with the 2 Silvernail Blasters. After clearing the Round 6 puzzle set, I face off against Arisa on Elite 2 difficulty using the Runecraft build and win the match. I then buy 2 more Edge of Paradise packs, which give me a Brave Goblin that I use to replace the Silverbolt Hunter in my Bloodcraft build. Finally, I repeat Urias’s fourth part again and thankfully win this time. I then finish the next three parts and buy another Edge of Paradise pack, which gives me a gold Story of a Lifetime. I replace a Dreams of Adventure for the Story of a Lifetime in the Runecraft build. After finishing two more parts, I take another loss at the tenth part, when all of my followers get wiped out from the enemy robot using a Wyrmcannon Dragonnewt on me.

Once again, I cash in my rewards by redeeming my 2 Throwback Rotation tickets, with one of them from the new season release bonus. I get a gold Glistering Angel from the packs, and I use it to replace a Silvernail Blaster in my Bloodcraft build and replace a Magiblade Witch in my Runecraft build. After completing the Round 7 puzzle set, I take on Erika on Elite 2 difficulty using the Runecraft build and win. I then buy 2 further Edge of Paradise packs, which give me 2 gold Fairytale Princes, a gold Noble Shieldmaiden, and a Haggler’s Gambit. After further consideration, I put back the Loathing Desire and Apostle of Craving over an Eternal Contract and Oldblood King. Finally, I retry Urias’ tenth part and succeed after taking a lot of damage from the robot’s Wyrmcannon Dragonnewt. I buy yet another Edge of Paradise pack that gives me a Haggler’s Gambit and proceed to finish the rest of Urias’s storyline. Then, I make this Shadowcraft build for Luna’s storyline and clear the first two parts. I next buy an Eightfold Abyss: Azvaldt pack in search for 2 Deep-Sea Scouts for the Axeman Swordcraft build that I am working on but get nothing notable. I then get all the way to the fifth part, where I take another loss due a massive tempo loss from not having a follower on turn 5 and only having an Explorer of Mysteries on turn 6 (I went first on that match).

For the third time in this run, I cash in on my login rewards, and buy another Eightfold Abyss: Azvaldt pack, which give me a From the Dust Reborn, which I use to replace the Soul Conversion in the Shadowcraft build. I also replace the Explorer of Mysteries with a Cloistered Sacristan in the Shadowcraft build after some thinking. I clear the Round 8 puzzle set, and beat Isabelle on Elite 2 difficulty using the Runecraft build. I buy 2 more Eightfold Abyss: Azvaldt packs, and get a Deep-Sea Scout from them. Next, I repeat Luna’s fifth part and easily win it this time. I then clear the next two parts and buy yet another Eightfold Abyss: Azvaldt pack. The pack contained a legendary Kyrzael, Killshot Enforcer, a gold Obsessive Scholar, and a Deep-Sea Scout. I replace the Pureshot Angel with the Obsessive Scholar in the Runecraft build, and go on to clear the rest of the storyline. I buy a Storm over Rivayle pack to try to find 2 Cursed Coins for the Atomy Shadowcraft build. Although the pack did not contain any copies of this card, it did give me a gold Elemental Brink.

After a fresh look at my inventory, which contains these legendary cards and gold cards, I make this Runecraft build, this Portalcraft build, and this Bloodcraft build. These builds will be used to clear the Gears of Rebellion: Uprising parts in that order of preference.

Now that I have completed the Gears of Rebellion storylines, my thoughts are that the storyline was okay and was slightly better than the Morning Star storylines, but definitely below the Guild War storyline. In particular, Luna’s storyline was definitely weak, as several of her parts were uncompelling and boring, and the jump from the twelfth part to the thirteenth part where everyone bands together was far too sudden for my tastes. Urias’ storyline was also on the meh side, but not as bad as Luna’s for sure. The difficulty for the Gears of Rebellion storyline matches was okay, but definitely on the harder side. I especially think that Urias’ storyline would cause some difficulties, as the class doesn’t seem to have enough speed, synergy, and damage to have a good chance of winning without getting a higher-than-normal amount of rares and legendaries.

Thank you for reading this post. My next post will be made after I finish the Gears of Rebellion: Uprising storyline.
