Discuss how this 3-12 card would be placed into the tier list! Assuming its used as a special attack in the end-game or sometimes the mid-game. Not as a normal card. Also consider it as a solo 3-12 in your deck when discussing. (Note that every map is considered in discussions except for Box Seats)

#

i have no opinions about this card. as i haven't seen it used that much.

#

i also dont own it

#

as a diagonal its an interesting concept but there is also better diagonal cards with the other 3-12s.

#

will need more people to talk about it

i have seen this used
it's a solid diagonal.. i think? never used it, but if i'm using diagonal i'd rather use chump though i rated that S tier soo

in comparison to chump, it has long reach, and it's very thin, which seems like a double-edge sword. if it can get in it gets in well, but if it can't it's kind of... Mid
it's between A and B for me.. gotta vote on the card first before giving it a tier. can't see this as C tier but it's not S tier for sure

the main problem i have with this card is that rotations don't change things much for it. if it's not playable on one side, there's a good chance it's not playable on the reverse side. i don't like zipcaster very much but i think it does this card's job better by being able to at least weave around with a thin diagonal to go somewhere. this card is somewhat dense almost everywhere, and that's not a good thing. the disjointed block is not enough to be able to get through the enemy's special blocks very consistently. committing to a special without any reasonable disjoint is a risky move when all the good ones have at least more than 1 block that's a singular space wide. not having a disjointed but large section like chump also means it's really rare to see this special reach maximum efficiency. i spent bits on this card for how cool the artwork is and I still do not like running this in a deck.

4/10

interesting perspective from someone who used it
i've never used it, but from that i assume it looks better than it is

lunar ether
#

yes

#

i tried to run it in a lakefront deck, which is definitely somewhere it will do worse for the 6x6 dimensions. i could see it being half-decent on a gemini deck but map dependency is not good and chump fully outclasses it on gemini imo

chump solos

lunar ether
#

exactly

#

haven't made my chump post yet but it beats kraken in every department

This Diagonal Card is pretty much considered one of the best but it's like an Ultra Stamp but at a different angle. At most, You can try to Use it during Midgame but using it Midgame seems complicated rather than Endgame

#

However, I think This might have a better chance as it has similar results to the Inkvac

#

thats not really the purpose of these posts. using a 3-12 early is against the rules when discussing.

#

you might be able to discuss it later tho.

Not great in my opinion. It's a long diagonal, but... That's not the shape I usually want when overlapping the opponent's blocks. Typically, their area doesn't have a lot of diagonal lines of this size. So that makes the placement pretty limited, even though the holes can be used to get around special blocks. Rating 6/10.

do not have card part 5:
DEFINITELY the one out of the ones i don't have i most want to try (sorry chump...)
the diagonalism of it whilst not being as concentrated as zipcaster is something that really interests me. i can see this having great use on gemini and x at the very least. it is well spaced and has nice reach - just not sure how well it would work around a non diagonal enemy deck

Very diagonal card, not great on narrow maps like River Drift, but it being one of the few diagonal 3-12s does give it a bit of a niche. I do have to say that I've rarely seen it being used, which makes it a bit hard to properly judge, but it seems just okay

It seems like it would be good on double gemini but it isn't. You can't play it against a wall due to the one square on the edge.
In general, everywhere on this card is sort of dense, which is not a good thing for it. This makes it hard to fit places and when you do you probably won't be getting max value out of it most of the time.

Zipcaster but better

Tried it recently and it works pretty great - not easy to max it's output but usually it's pretty big. On some maps it will work better than on others (TP, X garden, MS and DG maybe while hard to use on RD).

One more thing to think about - it's hard to clean after Kraken because other 3-12 aren't that big or diagonal.

I would like to try a double deck with kraken for sure, it does look like it would struggle as a single thinking about it

In the right hands, It's a get in and cause trouble type of card.
Just the card, I don't see a way to get combos off it. Kinda good a blocking corners or denying territory, but you need some good reads to pull that off.
As a 3-12, I seen this card in action many times and I think it's one of the best (if not best) cards to special mid-game then make your enemy have to deal with you possibly base invading. I don't recommend late-game, but you can if you have no other options.
Not bad of a few card, it's definitely high tier, but in the right hands someone will make it Top Tier.

Discuss how this 3-12 card would be placed into the tier list! Assuming this is used as a special attack on Turn 11 in the end-game. While your other 3-12 card is used on Turn 12. This consideration is in the context of a double 3-12 deck. Its usage as a normal card can be considered in situations of extremely bad luck as well. 3-12 combos are not considered however. (Note that every map is considered in discussions except for Box Seats)

I think this is underrated tbh, its like Zipcaster but more emphasis on the diagonal spread. Although, this can conflict with your other special because of how wide its spread is. 6/10

Generally agree

Yeah that sounds about right

I feel like that makes it worse for double 3-12? not better
