[Tears of Themis] Skill Guide 101

[@rikikioyd391]

Great video! Although, I noticed that the video didn't really mention defense debuff cards, which lower the enemy's defense. Personally, I think they're pretty useful to stack with buff cards. So they're good to prioritize too.

[@SayaandYang]

You are right, I miss that. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@nerdychau]

And then there’s me who just upgrades the cards that are the prettiest 😂

[@SayaandYang]

Oh this is really very clear! Thanks for the video! Can I ask, if the video at 3:54, is the priority in training red/green/blue influence buff same as white influence buff? Or red/green/blue are of higher priority than white?

[@SayaandYang]

It depends on ur cards. Like for example if u have a lot of logic dps cards, then logic buff will be good. But if u don't have any logic dps, then logic buff doesn't make sense, u can use logic card with white buff instead to boost other elements. Usually elements buff will buff more la but white ones have wider range of usage.

[@shlee1616]

Okies noted with thanks!

[@teyos_]

i just level up my artem cards for the story

[@hazelnut88]

I just upgrade whatever SSR and SR I can get. F2P life sucks.

[@Creatorsan]

Card skills max out at Lv 10. I typically upgrade the 2nd and 3rd skill on the skill tree for cards. Why? It makes all of my cards stronger for longer. For example my SR Vyn Lingering Warmth card has the second skill impeccable ll at Lv 9 and the third skill at Lv 7. The total power of this card it as 5478. That's a lot considering it's only an SR card. I have a Vyn SSR logic card I'm working on too. I own a lot of Logic cards in my main deck so I find it useful to upgrade skills for logic cards. Using that in mind I can get my cards much higher in power than usual. Untill I'm satisfied of course. My overall card power is 76524. I need it higher for the storyline.

[@SayaandYang]

Thats smart! To concentrate at one element at first since second/third relies on having the same element/character. But as we progress, we will need to have a deck for each element. since some event will restrict u to only use one type of element so do invest in some other elements too when u have extra resources!

[@Creatorsan]

@@SayaandYang My deck does have Empathy and the Intuition cards in it. I will upgrade those once I finish upgrading logic cards and my NXX skill tree. The skill tree is useful too.

[@Creatorsan]

I checked the total power of each rarity of card at max everything. (Power, skills, upgrades, and levels) (you can do this by looking at your archived cards) An SSR card maxes out at 9699 power. 2968 influence and 1484 or 1632 defense. An SR card maxes out at 7268 power. 2150, 2327 or 2282 influence and can range from 1219, 1174, 1108, 1042, or 977 total Defence depending on the card. Some cards that follow the defense mentioned include: Vyn False Tears- 1219. Vyn Mercury in Retrograde- 1174. Artem Stating Humble- 1108. Artem Autumn Dreams- 1042. And Luke Timely Rescue- 997. MR cards have 7425 total power. 2205 influence and 1277 defense. My example would be Vyn Morning Glory. These are better than SR cards but they are exclusive to events. Managed to grab this one awhile ago. I realize my Vyn cards alone make up 48084k of my total power. I have a lot of Vyn cards. Rare cards range from 4034 power to 3913 power. 1268, 1244, 1148, 1208, or 1172 influence and 604, 640, 664, 604, 544, or 568, defence. Rare cards are for extra background power really. I should max out those to gain power more easily since it adds up. I only own 49 cards. :/ Spending IRL money on s chips is not worth it. Bruh there's VIP exclusive cards. So expensive. For 570 P-Points you get a Artem Thin Veil card and for 4970 points a Marius Matching Tattoos card. To max them out you need to get 14970 total points or use the stars to upgrade them. I prefer the cheaper option tbh.. My VIP level is 1. Yeah I don't spend on this game much.

[@SayaandYang]

@@Creatorsan nah R cards actually doesn't do much, even in the support deck, SR cards will overtake them so don't invest in those. I agree SR> MR since MR is harder to get copies. But ultimately, still depends on skills i think, a preemptive MR card > defence skill SR. U can focus on farming fragments (100 fragments can be exchanged into the card even if u don't owe it), such as Marius Butterfly is a very powerful card with 3 offence skill.

[@Creatorsan]

@@SayaandYang Any kind of power is good tho. Especially for personal character storylines where you need to use spefific cards based on the story. For example rare cards make up most all of my individual character decks with a few SR's and SSR's here and there. Either way, 5000 can equal to 10k with just 2 rare cards. And it's easier to max out compared to SR's or SSR'S. Skills cost more as you upgrade them. Heh.. I've spent 1300000 cash on a skill before for SR cards. Geez that's a lot. I know support cards a garbage but I hate seeing things unfinished. I'm going to need over 90k to finish the storyline right now. Plus I want to farm gems so Trial Of Themis is going to use up a lot of might.

[@tpgmflint]

I disagree that the Alpha skills are strictly better than the Beta and the Gamma skills. The Gamma and Beta skills may have less multipliers but it does last for longer and the math checks out that over the 3 turns, the Gamma and Beta give larger overall buffs, just over a longer period of time.

[@SayaandYang]

Ya that work too, u just will have to memorise which cards have longer buff and cast those first, it's just more troublesome.

[@tpgmflint]

@@SayaandYang I agree, you can only benefit from such gains if you have multiple Preemptive Strikes lined up ahead, the Alpha Skils' real benefit comes in the form of how you only need 1 heavy damage dealing card to reach its optimum use.

[@babytaeyong474]

Oh no i level up layer by layer skill than preemptive strike skill 😱

It's okay layer by layer are useful too!

thank you for this omg ‼ also a question about visions! im kinda confused about the “rotation” thing, does the ssr and sr cards change everytime the due date ends? and does the “ssr guaranteed” thing also reset every rotation? i badly need an ssr card but i want a marius one 😭

[@SayaandYang]

The rotation banner will change every time, it basically just rotates cards from the permanent banner (and also include event exclusive cards in the future). The pity will carry over to the next rotation banner, so the SSR guaranteed will not reset, don't worry :) Advertise for myself haha: you can also check out my video on the different banners [kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbIhZ2OmLysabM]

Can make a tutorial how to level up faster 030

[@SayaandYang]

Do u mean lvling our character level? Or the cards level?

[@SayaandYang]

For our character level, it's actually lock behind energy bars haha. So the max we can do is to use our energy as fast as we can (regenerate 10/hour) and don't let it max out. Rmb to also use ur energy packs before it expires! But that's a good idea, maybe I can make a tutorial on what to do when u just get started in the game XD

[@T3llD0nuTShoW123]

Yay! Thanks 💕

[@lindalian7393]

Thank you for this video. Can you help me understand that cards' buff in the Support Deck will also help with the debate even though it is not used? What is the purpose of the cards in the Support Deck?

[@Saya_20]

The cards in the support deck is used to buff the main deck's cards(Increase influence/defense). You can see the explanation at 5:50 . For example, one of the special skills for R cards is "When this card is in the support deck boosts influence by 1%". Basically by placing the cards with that specific skill in the support deck, it increases influence/defense for your main deck.

[@ebc6970]

2:58 Wait, so if the buff lasts for 3 rounds but if weaker, doesn't that mean the buff applies to the next 3 cards? Compared to the buff which only lasts 1 round but stronger and only applies to 1 card, isn't it technically the same?

[@SayaandYang]

It's because it's a turn based game. There's limited cards that u can bring in ur deck. Hence, it's better to bring stronger buff that works faster. Because u mainly want the buff to work on ur dps card (buff more)

[@calypso3353]

I just started playing this game for 2 weeks now and i love it! But I'm still trying to get used to it. Just a quick question, can i still pull out the old cards that i missed like 2 years old? Example: Luke's overflowing thought's (Ssr) card & Artem's Atmospheric (Sssr) or any other old cards? Ps: sorry if I'm not clear English is not my first language 🙌

[@SayaandYang]

Yup the cards will rerun, especially artem atmospheric rerun very frequently as its a permanent ssr

[@pyr0phoenix]

Does the second passive still works when the card is in Support Deck? I've been wondering but too lazy to test it haha

[@SayaandYang]

Sadly, only the second passive for R cards works in the support deck. The second passive for SSR and SR cards will not work in the support deck

[@pyr0phoenix]

I see... that's unfortunate

[@marko3502]

I have a question!! Majority of my SSR & SR cards have skills that only buff or debuff. My SSR cards are lvl 100/100 while my SR cards are lvl 70/70. I have a lot of SR cards in my deck to the point where i also have some SR cards in my support deck. The thing is, I only have one SR card that has the damage skill. However i also have a lot of R cards that are 5* that also have damage skill. I was wondering if i should level up the R cards with damage skill above lvl 40 to replace the SR cards in my deck that only buff since in another video, i saw that you said 5* R card = 1* SR card. Should i or am i allowed to do this or do i just continue to level up my SR cards?

Just curious, what does defense buff add to? Does it increase our hp (up arrow)? Or does it lower the enemy's argument affecting our hp by upping our defense?

[@SayaandYang]

We have two statistics, influence and defense. So the defence buff will increases our defense (up arrow). When it's down arrow, it reduces enemy's defense.

[@dusterfreak]

a question, why are "a" skills better? Aren't skill buffs better for a longer duration, to buff more cards?

[@SayaandYang]

There are limited turns during a debate. So skills that boost shorter time can be make used quicker But if u have enough resource u can invest in all la. Then rmb the sequence when u do the debate by casting gramma first then beta and alpha before the preemptive strike

The study debates I enter only help with evolving levelling up and the currency, so I'm a bit confused.

[@SayaandYang]

Yup, you need to farm them or get them as rewards from events. Evolve chips are usually from study stages, different days of the week will unlock different type of chips.

Iirc, they cannot be activate in support deck. The only skills that can are the second skills of R cards. So u don't need to focus on the skills of the cards that are in the support deck cos they don't do much tbh.

[@jemespino252]

@@SayaandYang Oh so does R cards give more stats compared to a SSR or SR card in support deck??

[@justwatchingvids1560]

Wait I'm confused, why would the effect that lasts the shortest be better?

[@Saya_20]

Because the shorter the duration is the stronger the effect is. So it's better compared to a effect that lasts longer but is weaker.

[@SayaandYang]

Because it's a turn based game, we have limited turns. It's the best to buff our card more and hit more dmg in one turn (aka destroy the line of argument in one turn) hence those buff with stronger effect are better. And those effect that last shorter has stronger buff, thus better.

[@SayaandYang]

But of cos the buffs can be stack, so u can rmb which last longer/shorter and cast those longer ones first. However, this is quite troublesome and the cards appearance are random.
