(OP03) CP9 and Navy Variant Lucci

[@Kammautha]

im also trying to figure out the right balance of navy and cp cards. I feel like kaku is super strong but without air door and less cp characters (no spandam, no wanze, no kumadori), I don't think we can spam 4 kaku 4 blueno profitably. Im inclined to think blueno demands some number of kumadori for consistency. Not a huge fan of garp 5. would prolly consider volcano since we play 4 kuzan. also I dont know if tashigi is better than garp 2, still uncertain. basically im on your list -3 garp 5, -2 shockwave, + 3 volcano, + 2 kumadori

I completely agree with your sentiment. I am still trying to figure out the correct ratios. There are times where you draw no counter and it feels rough. The tashigi helps at times when you need a cost reducer as everyone aims to get rid of kuzan as quickly as possible. The 5 drop helps when kaku is not live.

@@fercho4529 its just hard for me to justify another non counter removal character (arguably the worst of the bunch) between kaku and sakazuki. I guess my additional removal is volcano, enabled by tashigi /kuzan, and use those slots for kumadori who helps both blueno and kaku efficiency while being a counter.

@Kammautha I definitely feel like fuko is mandatory. I haven't tried volcano yet but I need to give it a try. Especially late game to use with Lucci's ability

[@datratchet9245]

I am trying a Navy heavy build with 16 2k counters (kalifa, Garp, Tsuru, Tashigi) 12 blockers (Borsalino, Fuku, Corazon) 9 poppers (Sakazuki x3, Garp x3, Koby x3) Issho x3 Little Kuzan x3 Shockwave x4 and Brannew x3 I am hesitant in removing big Garp for Blueno since my play style is more removal oriented due to being very used to playing Z last set but at times do feel like the big bodies with no counter feels dead. I run the Corazon for early blocking against life and since I found myself never playing blueno and using him as a 1k in the sim anyways. I don’t really like the CP cards either so if you guys have any suggestions please let me know 🙏🏽 I went 2 - 2 today at my locals today vs; Zoro - Win Smoker - Win Katakuri - Loss Zoro - Loss

@@datratchet9245 main concern on my side is katakuri. Still havebt find a build where i do not feel severely underdog
