I got a free starter deck at the Anime Fiesta 2023 but I have literally no idea how to play the game! I’m delighted there’s an English guide for it. I had assume there was only Japanese version to it.

[@michaelemerson570]

Although this is a good starting point, there are a few things skipped and also one thing wrong. Firstly, you miss the Clock Phase on player one's turn (which in my opinion is imperative in order to build a decent hand of cards) and also, it's not mentioned that your clock or level area's cards colour is important as it determines which colour cards you can play from level 1 or above. Also, it's important to differentiate Encore ability and Encore Step. The Encore Step can only be performed during the active player's turn; not the apponent being attacked. If their character has an Encore ability that is a different thing. Not to mention countering and Climax trigger effects not being mentioned

[@xoctavia1418]

this has given me hope that a funny gimick deck may actually be viable >:3 i didn't know you could do that, only thought encore was usable when something was sent the the waiting room during the encore step/battle step. Didn't know Encore just brought it back when ever it would be sent away. that's just funny, and i love it.

[@DeejTiuz]

Hey can you explain better encore ability and encore step? (New to the game) Also there is a "savage" option to return some characters from the waiting room? I don't know what bond is too xD Too many things

[@michaelemerson570]

@@DeejTiuz An encore 'ability' is a specific ability stated on the card that will be triggered when that card is 'encored' (i.e. brough back into play from the waiting room). The Encore Step is performed after your cards are sent to the waiting room, provided the cost is paid. Bear in mind that EVERY card has the unwritten Encore ability which allows it to be returned to the stage by paying 3 cards. Though some cards may be different if specified. Bond refers to when a card is played alongside another with the BOND keyword. If those characters with the 'bond' are on the stage together, it would trigger a new effect or ability.

[@DeejTiuz]

@@michaelemerson570 ooh thanks so much! Got it

[@michaelemerson570]

@@DeejTiuz no problem

[@meetjeric]

so weiss schwarz is based on the game Vanguard. the center character is your vanguard, left and right are sentinels

[@benyseus6325]

And the back row is the **REAR GUARD** ⛳️

[@Zarugoza5969]

More like Vanguard is based on Weiss since Weiss was created way before Vanguard

[@NocturnalAce]

It looks complicated at first glance, but if you focus on how the system works, then it's not that bad. Basically, when the clock area fills up, that player's level goes up by 1. And the GOAL is to get your opponent to level 4 in order to win. They showed in their demonstration how cards end up being sent into the clock area. So if you really pay attention, it's not that complicated if you understand each part individually, then put them all together after you get the general idea. Just learn it piece by piece, don't try to memorize everything all at once. There are multiple parts to this game, but it's not as convoluted as it looks. Learn it slowly and you'll eventually get it.

[@doomjunyu_]

tbh there are many other tcgs more complicated than this

[@brutalbeard9441]

Honestly, the main thing this game has going for it is the licensing of different properties. Mechanically, what this game is going for is done much more efficiently and simply by the Final Fantasy trading card game.

[@1nePercentJuice]

Looks like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, it seems their more interesting IP's tend to be excessively expensive and hard to come by for the average player.

[@yoko_bby]

Yea you gotta be on the hall and pre order. If something you would have liked released before you might be out of luck

[@ArchToAchilles]

They print each set only once. The only "exception" is when they decide to print a different set for the new season of a show/IP (for example; Attack on Titan is about to get a third set for the show's final season). Since each set only prints once, the older sets tend to be VERY expensive and the trial decks become almost impossible to find. Like the other person said, you really gotta keep up with set releases & pre-order what you want.

[@Excramunecreo]

​@@ArchToAchilles Hi, I just have discovered this tcg, may I ask you something? I found a little (150 cards) second hand collection on sale of Madoka Magica (I like those series too much), but I don't know if it's worth buy it for 90$ (I could try to lower the price), what do you think? Another question, can one have a "competent" deck today with old card sets? For other games, the brand new cards usually are so much better than the old.

[@iamLI3]

@@Excramunecreo given that starter deck at a game store i visited prince range from 30$ - 100$CAD for 50cards + extras (expensive boxes have packs for chance of rare or signed cards) , since i've just discovered this and looking to maybe get some cards of my own , i would instantly buy those maguk cards as im sure that's among the harder sets to find , and it's maguk.....

The fact that none of these niche TCGs have their own official online simulator is a missed opportunity. This game is dead on some regions, like, I have not seen any new English sets in the UK for like 2-3 years now, and the English sets are already more expensive vs Japanese sets so I'd rather not import them TBH

Very good video. My only edit would be adding one more fire energy and removing a Pokegear. I also personally play 2 dragons horde and one dragon energy attacking Drago. Solid video dude :)

[@Dyundu]

If you’re able to play and tap a Black Lotus to drop a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, that’d be a good strat as well.

[@erikaz1590]

And then just be careful about giving your opponent 8 on their memory gauge as you put down your Hanusa, Radiance elemental in attack position to try and counter their Maxxor.

[@ArchToAchilles]

As a new player, this video is a confusing introduction to the game. It was much better for me to read the rules and then re-watch this video to get a basic sense of the flow/pace. This video fails to elaborate on rules (example: 0:26 This is called a mulligan and is optional), explain why things are done (for example; putting cards in the waiting room), and occasionally omits rules entirely (such as the Clock phase on p1's turn). For the fellow confused new players here, I HIGHLY recommend reading the rules that come with the trial decks first BEFORE watching this video.

[@Excramunecreo]

Thanks a lot! Same for me, I have just discover this game and I don't know any about it! The video is not the best way to lear the rules. You know if I can find the rules on line? I don't have my own deck yet, and probabli I'll buy a second hand since the current sets are not my favorites.

[@DeejTiuz]

I agree but there are some things I don't know, can you explain to me? Bond, encore ability and encore step, can a (tapped) char move to another place in the stage? Also there is like a "salvage" thing that make you add some characters from the waiting room to your hand? xD sorry

[@Banana-fl5ww]

This seems like Buddy fight + Vanguard

[@brykanst9071]

it basically is pretty sure weiss came first and they wanted something they didn't have to pay the licenses for every time they made a set

[@CheeseLasagna]

Anyone who watches this video in 2023, if you're really interested in learning this game, don't watch this video first. Get any trial deck you want and read the rules of the game on their first. Once you've done that, you can come back here and actually understand the game. This video doesnt do a very good job at really explaining what's happening.

[@toastbrot3846]

i am a yu gi oh player and i like the rules very much i hope that this game gets a ocg so i can play it

[@BestOfAllRank]

The game has two major formats: Standard and Neo-standard. Standard allows cards from any series to be put in, and neo-standard (the norm) states that only one series can be in a deck. Neo-standard became a thing because of how OP you could get when you can mix series in a deck.

[@Tarrabyte]

I like the idea behind this game but also you guys made this a bit too complicated. I've played over 17 TCGs at this point but why do you people have to over complicate every TCG? I really don't understand.

[@erikaz1590]

because if you don't overcomplicate this, your tcg is just War but with waifus on the cards...and you could've just bought waifus on your standard playing cards for that XP

I like TCG but I'm just too dumb to track everything in a card gameplay. They should make an online version of this. Of course, to play the online game, people need to buy the physical card and put the serial or scan the card to make it appear or use the card online. This way the physical sale will still ongoing or perhaps will gain more sales.

It's pretty easy to understand how the gameplay is but if there something I don't like is that u has to be luck on getting Level 0 card when draw a card, because we can't use Level 1-3 card to attack and as backstage support at the beginning of the game. That mean we have to be carefull setting our own deck. We can't just randomly put any card we like in the deck. Inconclusion, it isn't surprising if u can't even attack on the first turn. I'm just glad at least we can drop higher level card into waitng room and draw again. I hope they also explain about the higher level card Cost and Stock properly.

Way to skip the clock phase. Even if you arnt going to do it on the first turn you should still advise on it.

there's also no indication of cost or color restrictions, or the fact that AUTO, ACT, or CONT abilities exists on cards not just Assist and Climaxes, or Backups/Counters, or how the first player can only attack once, or Side Attacks. Does this make this short tutorial invalid?
