[@notsolong]

you forgot to mention hydro abyss herald also have hydro infusion upon revive

[@blepthecat]

Oh wow I actually had missed that part of his ability completely - thanks!

[@cornelio78]

*TCG BEFORE* : E-Skill deals 3 dmg. Burst deals 6 dmg. *TCG NOW* : Okay, here's the thing with the Crab (Part 1 of 15)

[@notsolong]

Isnt that every card game???

[@blepthecat]

LOL IT'S SO TRUE the Crab section was as long as the others combined it's pretty funny

[@arielgauss9105]

Thanks for the patch notes, they really help a lot. I suggest that you can do a video on the history of the game's meta, like how do the most popular decks rise and fall out of use. It might be long, but veterans surely enjoy these good (or not so good) old memories.

[@margot9200]

I second this

[@blepthecat]

Interesting idea! I wonder if maybe it would work for a stream sometime. I'll definitely keep this in mind, thanks for the suggestion

[@jeremiahsmith916]

I'm still lamenting the pre-nerf Kenki. TCG release patch was such a good time honestly. No dice printing shenanigans, no opponent canceling cards, just equal grounds for everyone.

[@Senorgato029]

I’ve been having a blast with baizhu/thoma/crab, crab makes it so biazhu burst shield auto fires if you didn’t go second and take damage which is very interesting

[@blepthecat]

Yep an interesting interaction for sure, forgot to point that one out!

[@Sky_Eden]

you might have to do another video. They just nerf undersea treasure and Yelan out of nowhere

[@pootpootpootpoot]

they hit the pentagon

[@arielgauss9105]

Too bad they still haven't set a cap on Crab's armor

[@nyx_018]

Fr lol if you played undersea just before the update the 2 was a debuff because it was red

[@blepthecat]

Haha yeah I'll definitely do one. Luckily none of the decks I had recommended were Treasure Hunt, so wanted to get this out first

[@NewBeginnerVN]

Faruzan is so fun to play, because her Normal Attack (after using her Skill) forces opponent to change to the intended enemy you charged attack earlier. 😊

[@blepthecat]

Haha in practice it seems to rarely come up - most of the time they end on the character you charged attack, but when it does it's great!

[@cyaniire6924]

I had a game against crab with kuki stall. That game lasted 45 min and kuki tanked a total of 180 dmg that game lol, it ended in a draw

[@blepthecat]

Omg Amazing. Crab never really being able to kill Kuki with Talent is actually the funniest thing LOL

[@moonlightnightisalright2088]

fun fact, once-downed pyro abyss lector can solo crab when running tenacity! I like using him with yaoyao and dori for a mid-range to stall deck that focuses on summon damage, by using overload you can force enemy to solo crab. Pyro lector's revive cas soak up bust damage in early game, and you can just sack others after that because the summons chip damage is more important mid-game

[@moonlightnightisalright2088]

I forgot to mention, but I run this deck with a lot of food, and the sunken treasures, it has problems drawing consistently, but the benefit from spreading the deck over a long game really helps with crab stall as you need to skill with lector semi-consistantly to actually reduce crab sheild

[@blepthecat]

Yeah I forgot to mention it but revive characters end up being great into Crab, especially solo at the end since it takes it 6 whole skills to actually kill. Very good point!

[@KobiSheero]

Herald Mirror Maiden locdown deck is pure evil

[@blepthecat]

Ohh I forgot to suggest something like that for fun haha! Damn

[@hyshi18]

I'd like to see how you utilize Herald Sara Eula deck in an actual match

[@blepthecat]

I'm actually away from home for a while and not planning on making more content for 4.7 unfortunately. But the idea of the deck is to start Sara then go Herald for a while, and then finish on Eula to hopefully freeze. I'll admit after having more time with the cards I think there are better herald decks right now if you're having trouble winning with the deck

[@hyshi18]

@@blepthecat Thanks for the reply, I was curious if there is a certain mulligan or cards that I wanna keep. Needless to say, I'll be patiently waiting for your upcoming contents!

[@jorgedi3349]

the deck at 3:40 has some... interesting initials

[@blepthecat]

We don't talk about that

[@HearterSG]

super excellent video!

[@blepthecat]

Thank you!

[@cyaniire6924]

Also, how is kuki barbara candace? Vortex vanquisher for candace, and kuki barbara for sustaining the team. You get a lot of electro charge from kuki and barbara, and candace is there to do the damage.

[@blepthecat]

I think it's ok - the problem with that setup is stall decks really want someone with a big burst to threaten and build up to, and Candace doesn't quite apply enough pressure that way. Worth trying though! Infusing Kuki with Hydro is kind of nice way to use her NA's more with Talent buff

[@cyaniire6924]

@@blepthecat Hmm, then maybe tartaglia? I've been coping with his talent for a while, so maybe he can see use in a stall ec deck with kuki since the dmg from his talent also counts as piercing dmg and can add up. Pretty good against crab stall methinks

[@blepthecat]

@@cyaniire6924 Tartag is a solid stall carry, so could be good!

[@PRO100SashaX]

Egg into talent for Abyss Herald is the biggest middle finger one can get.

[@blepthecat]

Haha that's something. Though do you lose the buff when that happens? I would think that is applied during revive, so dying would cause it to drop off hm

[@PRO100SashaX]

@@blepthecat I've tested a team around that. It works and it's a fking war crime. You use talent once herald revives and get the debuff. Then opp kills him later when out of debuff and gets another two stack. Then they get rid of that, and I egg into new talent (which applies the debuff) into Barb burst. The ultimate middle finger, erase all the progress which was more expensive than usual, and make them pay more for it again. Herald then may die again and get two new stacks out. We're not even talking about his ult xd. I haven't been able to win much because this type of deck needs all the cards in the world, I was ALWAYS missing SOMETHING, but just few of these moments were more than enough to satisfy me.

[@ihy___]

They fixed today treasure card, now its cost 1>2 dice, i'm tilted rn, no magic at all

[@blepthecat]

It's still casually playable I think, but yeah I'll discuss those more in a later video

[@o0Tewi0o]

In what kind of deck or playstyle os better to use Dvalin instead of Lynette en the Faruzan deck?

[@blepthecat]

Honestly it probably doesn't change too much - you still will open with a summon character into Faruzan Burst, but then you will go Dvalin instead of Lynette. I think you will probably want to play a bit more ramp in this type of deck, and using Faruzan more for burst value rather than straight damage, so you could cut the King's Squires. Your goal hopefully is to have dice to 5-cost twice on Dvalin in the last round for massive damage. If you have Faru talent it's pretty doable. You probably use Mona as well for guaranteed R2 swirl.

[@owenlee7146]

Just a funny thing, i only started to play this card game bec i see it on the event. I just got to to level 4. The matchmaking is so broken The first match I go against is crab sleepy girl with a card i never saw b4 lmao.

[@blepthecat]

Probably Abyss Herald? That's usually the 3rd character for Layla (sleepy girl) and Crab. Take it slow though! Players are very good at TCG these days

[@ATTOMIC_shark]

At least you didn't say Raven's bow instead of King's Squire

[@blepthecat]

omg

[@Hieu5321vnshorts1]

If kuki have inf revive so how do we beat her? So if i kill her once and then she revive, i kill her one more time. Then does she get revive for next round?

[@blepthecat]

The revive works once a round - so you need to make sure to hit her down twice in the same round and then she won't revive anymore!

[@the_knave01]

They changed the undersea card why ! Also the crab deck is so disgusting i just quit without even trying. No aggro and piercing can counter the double shielder-healing crab deck !

[@nyx_018]

Its kinda powerfull 6 dice from a 1 is like +5 with +5 healing

[@blepthecat]

As mentioned, try Mona Eula Wanderer. It's set up extremely well to counter it - especially since swirl damage actually hits shields instead of piercing - which in this case is a bonus. It's almost a hard counter

[@adamling4737]

Is there a deck list for Mona Eula wanderer?

[@CoolGrovyle]

You'll surely find one. It is very popular metadeck. :3

[@Ventil_eau]

"meta" x), MEW have so fucking never good winrate aaaaah, stop playing that

[@CoolGrovyle]

@@Ventil_eau My perception of this is kinda impaired because I've met MEWs which almost always have beaten me. Because I love to play Noelle deck and it is not good matchup apparently :D I am not even meta player or any good player anyways :D So decks which are not that good anymore or never were that good actually might be percieved as good in my eyes ^^

[@Ventil_eau]

@@CoolGrovyle Da, mu diff, MEW is a aggro deck when Noelle is more a stallish deck. And also MEW is, a good deck but have some fucking issue with roll and if they don't have a goodroll...eh deadge. That's why MEW isn't that good even he can have good perf when work, too much luck/random dependant

[@CoolGrovyle]

@@Ventil_eau I play Noelle more in ramp way, but yeah it still contains Geo Reso and Tenacity :D
