What is Battle Spirits Saga and How to Play

[@RedZoneRogue]

One thing to correct! When a spirit is destroyed or when you take damage - the cores go directly back to your reserve instead of the trash!

[@Dexef_]

Hey red, really happy to see you covering battle spirits! You've been the n1 channel I go to whenever i get curious about FaB products (assassin is a sick class btw) I just have a bunch small corrections @10:34 You *do* draw on turn one, the only step that is skipped is the core step and attack step. Also @11:56 The cores from a defeated spirit go to the Reserve! It's very common to get these mixed up so I don't blame you one bit. hope I was helpful!

[@Doomsfist]

So glad to see you are going to be covering this game. It's first version that was released in English was my favorite game and I'm super excited for it be back!

[@RedZoneRogue]

Everyone I've talked to who has played it really loved it! It's a great sign for the game!

[@rexex345]

Battle spirits is such a good game and I cannot wait to see the western release come out. Fun fact, this game was made by Mike Elliott who, if that sounds familiar, was the designer of magic the gathering and 30 of it's sets. Also not sure we'll see it in opening sets though possibly... There are actually 2 more types of card, you could think of them as spirits but you have braves, which can be combined onto spirit cards, and you have ultimates, which are quite good powerhouses but are unable to benefit or suffer from any effects that don't explicitly target the ultimate type and have pre conditions to be able to play them other than just having enough cores.

Love to see it! Can’t wait for future content and jamming games together 🙏

[@RedZoneRogue]

Looking forward to it my friend!!

I wonder who his friend he spoke of is 🤔😂

Participating in March thanks for the refresher this game is super fun.

[@akuda226]

nice video! tho some things i wanted to clarify: 1. you dont do core step only if you go first, if you go 2nd, you go to the core step 2. when a spirit is destroyed, unless effects specify it, cores go to the reserve, not the trash

[@RedZoneRogue]

Yes! I mention that you do not get an additional core turn 1 at 10:30 That's good to know about the spirits though! Small misunderstanding learning the rules and actually makes losing spirits slightly better since you can then use those cores for other effects in the same turn! 👍

[@akuda226]

@@RedZoneRogue i see! the way you worded it (to me at least) is that both players turn 1 you dont get a core, but i think i was just very confused.

[@RedZoneRogue]

@Akuda still good to point out though just in case others were thinking the same way!

[@gmeaki02]

The symbols by the cost show the maximum cost reduction from cards on the field.

[@CameronBW2000]

I'm actually very excited for this game to come out!

[@codenamexelda]

Really exited for this one

[@jasonlogan1598]

I'm really think this one is going to be a lot of fun. I like the moving of the cores around. Should make some interesting decision making. I was hoping you would have some coverage of the game. You should do a gameplay video it you get some demo decks.

[@RedZoneRogue]

I'm VERY much considering doing a stream of the gameplay when they launch

[@V1nc3n7]

This looks pretty interesting, but I'm even more excited for Shadowverse Evolve coming out next year in English!

[@shadowverseevolvefancommunity]

Great video, really looking forward to this game

[@RedZoneRogue]

Cheers! Me too!

[@COOPALOOPTROOPA]

So for the leveling up you use the cores. At 12:56 and question popped into my head.

[@user-uz9xq685gbjdeadff]

As a person growing up playing Japanese version and now living in North America. I am glad to know more people might get to play this game. Not sure am I allow to use my Japanese deck to play against English deck tho.

[@christianmendoza1126]

Already sold out of flesh and blood, TCG, and other things to jump in to battle spirit saga! Hype hype

[@badheaven22]

This game will have Gundam and that is all that matters. Also we are going to see a Elden Ring collaboration early on in this game.

[@RedZoneRogue]

I'd be VERY stoked to see an Elden Ring collab

[@dvdboy3993]

I am begging for this game, not to fail cause it looks fun

[@rexwaly4411]

i just want to collect them cards they do look nice. Hope they have trading value.

[@TachibanaTengoku]

You say you can play 1 burst per turn, but how does that work? Can you play 1 per turn and it keeps stacking up, or does it go back to your hand at the end of the turn? Or can you only ever have 1 burst spell on field?

[@dradgrenhazuma9517]

Question: can you only evolve once per turn?

[@kiwitchi5053]

im actually really interested in this! i prefer tcgs where the players resources are actually gameplay mechanics and not deck based (digimon for example) and this seems to scratch that itch...

[@zenas19]

This may be a weird question, but I cant find an answer in the rules. Are you allowed to put core on a spirit without increasing its level? Like say I have dread knight nemesis summoned at Lv1, next turn can I put one more core on it, so its one short of going to LV2, but would be easier to bump on a future turn

[@villjess77]

Short answer, yes

[@aigakomine]

Are those Standard Sized like their 2009 Printing? Or Yugioh sized?

[@TheKaijudist]

I'm gonna go hard on this game

[@RedZoneRogue]

Dude it seems super fun! Also seems pretty good for competitive players

[@exiledsonofhawaii3934]

I hope they bring the gundam ip set over.

[@RedZoneRogue]

Me too! I saw some awesome Gubdam BS cards while doing research!

[@dindapriska]

I want Kamen Rider sets to come

[@GokudoBarzinho]

Whats the difference between the OG Battle Spirits and BSS?

[@akuda226]

card pool (ofc), mulligan rule and number of cards and copies of a card in a deck, for OG BS its 40+ cards and 3 copies max, while BSS is 50+ cards and 4 copies max

[@TheKaijudist]

One was discontinued and one is being relaunched. It's basically Duel Masters / Kaijudo equivalent

[@EldenLord00]

How do you win?

[@theorcslair]

Reduce their life cores to zero, or if they run out of cards to draw.

[@mackowens7234]

Is there going to be a digital version anytime soon?

[@regional1000]

No. It just came out. Why would there be a digital version?

[@thePrinceofFrogs]

Can spirits attack the turn they are summoned?

[@theorcslair]

Yes

[@kirbyco7925]

Is this available in South East Asia, or is this exclusive for USA?

[@necrosylum.l3013]

Hmm. Interesting.

[@warrioroflight2548]

so ir is not online?is it physical?

[@RedZoneRogue]

yeah physical only

[@henrycheung2942]

I didn't realize they were tailoring it towards the Western audience. One of the things I've seen western TCG designers do to a fault is create a huge power-creep gap between sets. It's not like Japanese TCG design does not do this, but it's much more subtle with Japanese-designed TCGs, and they usually do a pretty good job of bringing back older cards. The main culprits I have in mind are MTG and DBS, where the game design seem to unabashedly make cards from even two sets earlier nearly all obsolete. TCGs like Cardfight Vanguard and Digimon did make progressively stronger cards, but a lot of times they released later products that supported older cards to make them relevant again. Catering to a western audience does indeed concern me. I have high hopes for this game and am optimistic about its future, but this video has now made me concerned about the longevity of this game.

[@vincentalpiepedrozo2337]

Sad, they didn't bring this to Asia

[@GoblinReserve]

Thanks for the video! No keyword 😢🤣

[@Freemonstasgaming]

So this an irl card game n no mobile game

[@icefalcon2243]

This is BS!! (Battle Spirits) After playing a ton of DIGIMON, Force Of Will, Yugioh, Vangaurd, Weiss Schwartz, Pokémon and a megaton of MTG …all we play is FAB and Netrunner now. I haven’t touched anything else in a long time so I’ve finally learned my lesson and will pass on this game but thank you for the video it looks really fun!

[@icefalcon2243]

I must admit it’s very tempting but I’m having trouble finding it available for purchase anywhere ( I can’t help myself I may have to get some starter decks)

[@RedZoneRogue]

@@icefalcon2243 LGSs can preorder it now from distribution - it'll be available in March/April next year! :D

[@icefalcon2243]

@@RedZoneRogue thank you for the info! My only LGs is so stubborn. They won’t even consider carrying FAB and get salty when I kindly ask about it. They’re drinking so much Haterade that I doubt they’ll carry anything new.

[@RedZoneRogue]

@IceFalcon224 ah that's really sad honestly. FAB was the 3rd best selling tcg in November after mtg and Pokémon

[@icefalcon2243]

@@RedZoneRogue it’s odd that they won’t carry it and I can’t imagine why- the game is selling better than ever and I know locals are eager to buy. Maybe they are just too old fashioned I’m not sure.

[@ClouceVanHaven]

I'm getting a lot of shadowverse vibes which is really great actually, considering not very many people compare this, battle spirits game with shadowverse at all really; am I the only one?? I mean, this will probably definitely be more fun even than shadowverse & magic the gathering combined 🤩🔥

[@pakorsompan1045]

Strong draw coulor red cost3 reduce6 draw2 not discard wtf!! It free cost? It so crazy. And you can draw more1 by send core from gw but dont have gw in deck. It so crazy. Go jp guys trust me if you want to play bs.
