[final sequoia]

When you swap to a character if you do NA as their first attack it will be plunging, this does not prevent it from counting as normal or charged or both

[inland siren]

Is there some sort of visual indicator?

[final sequoia]

move history

[chilly basalt]

is this still plunge, btw?
swap → end round → NA

[gritty belfry]

no, has to be on the same round

[patent sky]

So plunging charged attack is possible?...

[cold ermine]

damn dps kokomi feels great

[hard zealot]

yes, if your immediate action after swapping is a normal attack and you have an even number of dice, it's a charged plunging attack

[patent sky]

if Xiao could do that in the actual game...

[patent sky]

wait a second can You do more than one plunging attack in the same round? (can You even do the same plunging attack for just one character if You double swapped to them?)

like swap to card 1 - NA - swap to card 2 - swap back to card 1 - NA

[chilly basalt]

sure, if you have that many dice

[hard zealot]

yea go wild, as long as you have dice

the Plunging Strike card even facilitates that

[chilly basalt]

wish it didn't cost 3 white

for a normal attack that's kinda steep, even if you basically get a fast switch for free

[final sequoia]

fast swap is worth 0 dice because of leave it to me so katheryne is too expensive

[chilly basalt]

make that crane is too expensive

[final sequoia]

crane is half of a fast swap and a fast swap is 0 dice so crane should be 0/2 which means it errors out and generates 1 dice

[willow jacinth]

I like what crane does, providing protection for the active character and allowing you to swap the impending response from the opponent to a less important target, I just wish it didnt cost 1

I understand why it does but I dont have to like it lol

[chilly basalt]

new Mondstadt resonance is a more reasonable crane, I guess

[willow jacinth]

weeeelllll

Id rather it quit after 1 use

[chilly basalt]

still not sure I'd play it over the other cards

[willow jacinth]

because you need to arrange the entire team in the correct order for more scenarios and you may even be forced to swap into your important character by the end of the round again

its more of a hassle to work around multiple procs than just 1

[rough patio]

Maybe in the future when ppl adjusted to the new changes & test out the new cards

[patent sky]

I have an either brilliant and or weird idea.. what if they made it 2 white dice and 1 black die cost? (Like basic NA but the white and black are reversed this time xD)

Cause idk it is still a switch after all and making it 2 cost probably would made it too spammy..

[patent sky]

That Sumeru grappling hook free card swap after the round makes crane even more worthless it feels like..

Also damn this Venti Sara Mona deck feels so hard to play but the AoE is really good when it works

(Hard as in I'm not used to finally using a proper deck from some form of meta)

[chilly basalt]

so far they haven't done mixed costs, either all black or all white

[patent sky]

Yee... that's what I can think of to make like SUPER DUPER 6 COST CARDS HSSH more bearable to play idk

Now that I think about it Lyney's seperate charged attack would fit perfectly with the "2 white dice 1 black die" idea but only in concept ofc

Especially since this patch there seems to be lots of some focus on drawing cards imagine next patch we may get something unique for the dices this time

[south sierra]

Laila Talent Card reduce pasive consum to 3? (4-->1, without talent card 4-->0) but the talent card not say anything about that, or i miss something and isnt the effect of talent card and is other thing? (Talent card only said every time she trigger Shooting Star, draw 1 card)

[abstract adder]

Mona 's cancer get worse 😩 😩 😩

[chilly basalt]

can someone explain why I'm seeing so much Eula in the gitcg tournament? (specifically Eula + Mona + anemo)

the char mid animation is wanderer, bad screenshot timing sorry

I guess I can kinda see the appeal.
Eula can come in on a char with hydro aura and use her weak 2 dmg skill to freeze. Then if they switch from the frozen unit, she has a 5 dmg nuke ready

and gilded dreams is the incentive to make it a 3 element team

[edgy haven]

MEW is pretty popular

[abstract adder]

Tournament is time to spam meta deck just watch or play that deck then you 'll understand

[abstract adder]

easy to setup and control hard to counter when you get 1st turn.

[chilly basalt]

I noticed that about Mona as well, if she's not on the play opp will switch and then there's no hydro to react with

[abstract adder]

your turn : Mona E , if they switch, you ramp dice and setup wanderer equipment, then end turn to get 1st turn next round

[chilly basalt]

yeah, was going to say you can just ramp

[gritty belfry]

The MEW deck which became popular after Wanderer Shenemo dropped in usage, Shenemo has a problem on running out of steam too quickly similar to klee vape

MEW (Mona Eula Wanderer), has a better gameplan which isnt susceptible to send off but is very reliant on drawing the right opening ramp cards like Instructors for Wanderer to pop off R2

[chilly basalt]

I guess the Timaeus change helped it as well then

[gritty belfry]

Ive seen CN meta run both Wagner and Timeus... not a big fan

[chilly basalt]

at first I thought Wagner required 3 weapon types as in sword, bow, spear. looks like any 3 different weapons will work though, so more of a fan now

just need 3 weapons to exist that are actually good, so it'll probably get better over time

what sucks is it's hard to deploy round 1 because of the dice cost

unless you stay in and ramp anyway

[gritty belfry]

R1 gameplan for MEW is always Mona E, full ramp

[chilly basalt]

skill → liben → wagner/timeus

or dunyarzad liben which gives another shot at getting one of the two

[final sequoia]

what was the timagner change

[chilly basalt]

if [deckbuilding restriction] is fulfilled, they give you a random artifact/weapon (respectively)

timeus restriction: initial deck contains at least 6 artifacts

wagner restriction: initial deck contains at least 3 different weapons

[chilly basalt]

I suspect it's meant to work with cards like this

allowing you to get 3 skills off and save 2 dice from switching

but the new Mondstadt res is inflexible

same reason I don't love Kazuha, if you could choose where to switch it'd be better

[willow jacinth]

to work better with kazuha I just had to rearrange the order of the characters

[rough patio]

[cold ermine]

how do i get the fortress of meropide tcg card back?

[gritty belfry]

complete unfinished comedy world quest, wait for daily reset, buy a book from the meropide shop, wait for daily reset, do pankration quest then u can buy it from the meropide shop

[cold ermine]

done done done and done, so just wait for reset huh...

[celest magnet]

apologies for ghost ping

[cold ermine]

need some improvements, i want to replace the smoked chicken since it doesnt affect lyney's prop arrow but idk what to add

[karmic oyster]

some dice fixer like Bestest or Toss up would be good

also Mona already provides fast action, so maybe arcane card or Liben/Itto instead of Katheryne?

[iron elk]

How tf does hyperbloom even work in tcg

[cold ermine]

every time you attack with pyro or electro, adds 2 extra damage per dendro cores you have

[iron elk]

Does it carry over whenever I switch characters

[cold ermine]

yes

[iron elk]

Since I use mona to make the cores appear but idk why it’s attached to her

[chilly basalt]

there are a bunch of team statuses that always display on the active character

like thunder manifestation's permanent debuff

[iron elk]

Anyone know how to make a deck that revolves around quickly switching cards around and reactions?

[chilly basalt]

what do you mean by quickly switching cards?

swapping from one char to another?

[north sequoia]

Mona Keqing

Or shenemo with many fast switch cards

[iron elk]

i have nahida mona and lisa that way i can move catalysts back and forth between them

[north sequoia]

Oh you means switching weapon then, adding where's unseen razor card for swapping weapon

Just my thought, add vourukasha glow on Mona will good

Lately I saw many used gilded dream too

[minor igloo]

Whoowie these decks be showing up all of a sudden

[minor igloo]

Bruh what.

[gritty belfry]

Feels like 3.4 again

[sweet notch]

But would you lose?

[minor igloo]

2/3 times I won. The last one I played lotus too early

I also put the wrong arcane legend card in that last deck .-.

[boreal carbon]

||Isn't this the dude who ended up dying || uh JJK spoilers

[high escarp]

absolutely a spoiler lol

[boreal carbon]

Oh alright, I didn't follow that series at all my bad

[frozen heath]

i need your help

can someone find a counter to this deck

the goal of the deck to is too draw as many card as possible then otk someone in the 2nd/3rd round

[final sequoia]

he's very famous because in the world of jjk he is basically modern day Him

[dusty ore]

Help I’m stuck at level 2 70 xp away from 3 what do I do-

[chilly basalt]

they always stop just below the next level (that would unlock more npcs)

[dusty ore]

I have to wait a day?

[chilly basalt]

if you've already done the 4 weekly npcs in the cat's tail for this week, you might have to wait until next week

they reset weekly

[dusty ore]

I did Eula

But idk any more

[chilly basalt]

there should be a menu when you're in the cat's tail that shows all 4

[dusty ore]

Oh that

Says the next person arrives in 19 jours

[chilly basalt]

they're always in the main room or side rooms, with card symbols above their heads indicating they can be dueled for points

[dusty ore]

There is none

[chilly basalt]

if you did all 4, that might be it for the week

on the world map, there should be a "search for players" option

[dusty ore]

I have only done one

Eula

[chilly basalt]

if it's not finding anyone, the remaining npcs require a higher player level

[south sierra]

When you lv is higher, the npc will come more together (I mean, low lv come 1, later 1, in the highest lv, all 4 npc come in Monday)

[south sierra]

Luck having Lotus or freeze, to survive all character in 2n round, if not, you cannot counter it, unless you finish the turn first and let the Thunder target to another Character

If you finish first and Start the round using skill, Thunder Taunt will change to the current character, if they finish the run first, heal the Taunt character or just give up and try do the much dmg possibil killing Thunder or Yelan

Also, Layla is good card to counter that deck, Layla only need use skill 1 time and the all Layla job is finish, if they want kill it, let they do it, just focus on your other 2 character and try win the game

[stoic dust]

Why are there multiple register buttons in #🎫register ?

Does it matter which is selected?

[naive cloud]

nope

[plucky lodge]

I would say either a freeze deck or a stall deck. Freeze would be more effective as stall takes long to set up. Another option would be to kill of one of the characters in the first turn but that isn’t easy. Freeze is your best bet I think. Or maybe Al Haitham Quicken. Can easily one shot the enemy

[sweet notch]

This deck seems pretty strong and I haven't run into it yet, but some things that I noticed are:

1. Other than the artifacts and boar princess, this deck lacks dice fixers. All 3 main characters only need one matching die to apply elements, sure, but unless they burn cards they will be hard pressed to use elemental skills at the same rate as somone running dice fixers.

2. Other than lotus or vorushka, this deck has no defense. If you take out a character card before they draw the itto card, you can pressure them, even more so if you use fresh wind of freedom arcane card. Personally I'd target the yelan and TM to get rid of their freeze and electro charge potential. Signora kinda has a built in teyvat egg so I wouldn't go for her as much.

3. They only have one quick swap card. I'd abuse the heck out of this with a deck that uses Mona, especially if you can scare them into wasting a turn by doing big damage and forcing a switch.

4. Other than itto card there's no energy related cards, so you can guarantee the Yelan will be on field a minimum of three times to use skills and get the burst up. If I had to guess I'd say they're gonna start with Yelan to save time and maybe set up a electro charge if you attack back and trigger the lightning rod.

Overall I'd say any deck with swapping and high dps as the goal would be pretty effective. Mona freeze decks and Quicken decks come to mind right off the bat, but maybe disruption decks like overload keqing would work. Or you could try to beat this deck at its own game and use decks like Wanderer/Shenhe or Dvalin decks that target off field characters and see what happens.

Are you a NA or EU player? Maybe we could duel and test out some strats

[frozen heath]

@sweet notch yes im an NA player but live in asia

[tidal ivy]

Whats the most toxic character in your opinion

[final sequoia]

the one at hoyo that nerfed itto like that for sure

[tidal ivy]

At 4.3 :(

[chilly basalt]

of the recent ones, I imagine people will dislike thunder manifestation

it can hunt down whichever char first uses a skill, even if they're switched out. limited counterplay

[crystal zinc]

Barbara

She is disgusting

Her summol heals 3 hp at the end of the round

With no drawback if you play well enough

Cleanses elemental auras (same point)

Heals 12 hp with her burst

If you play against dendro its gg, but other than that she's nasty

[final sequoia]

erm actually barbara is really cool and awesome so ratio

requires a big brain and 530k iq so it must be swag

[sweet notch]

Rip xingqiu he's always the first to go 😔

[final sequoia]

not always...

these pics are super old btw I can't install the game anymore

[sweet notch]

Why? PC issue?

[final sequoia]

space... game needs like 200 gb free to unpack

If I could install just mondstadt and fontaine for tcg that'd be great

[sweet notch]

So glad you don't have to stream for prelims bc I'm a mobile user and I have no clue how that'd work

[final sequoia]

Oh it's not too hard tbh

On mobile in a discord vc you can share your screen

so if someone in the vc watching the stream recorded the stream it would technically have a similar result

[sweet notch]

I see

[hushed hearth]

I wanna build a Klee burgeon team any ideas?

[sweet notch]

Maybe Klee Mona nahida since they are all catalyst users?

[young owl]

someone EU?

[chilly basalt]

I really underestimated Opera Epiclese

the fact that it triggers immediately rather than only starting next round is so big

doesn't cost you anything the round you play it, just 2 free dice on upcoming turns. and fixes your dice a little on the current round

it's like 1/2 of bestest companion followed by 1/2 of paimon at 0 dice cost

[wicked dune]

:nod:

the thing is, the card is cool and all until you get ratio'd

[chilly basalt]

you mean opp draws more equipment than you? yeah, that could happen

if the meta becomes very equipment heavy

also a reason to play out equipment early (all else being equal), to possibly get it stuck in opp's hand

[wicked dune]

some of the top meta decks right now looks like this

the gameplan is to just mona E and spam equipment r1

[chilly basalt]

I played that, though my self-brewed version had -1 of each smith and less food

[chilly basalt]

probably not as optimal

[wicked dune]

eh it still works

goal is to float 5 r1

maybe id go with 2x tim 2x wagner instead of vanarana tho

[chilly basalt]

the idea behind playing 1 of each was getting as many good Dunyarzad pulls as possible

avoiding the case where you play one and draw a second copy

but maybe they're just that good, and you don't mind drawing two

plus I'm often capped on support slots, so I can see Vanarana cut

I often replaced Dunyarzad with it after I'd already played out my companions

playing the discount arcane legend makes sense as well, for when you don't draw Wagner

[wicked dune]

yeah this is pretty common practice since support space can be tight

[chilly basalt]

just awkward if I draw them in a different order and drop a round 1 Vanarana

[stoic dust]

why is being able to stream to discord a requirement? Is this different than the ones from last year which we just used a bot to match with others an then use that bot to say win or loss?

And are the requirements to get the card back the same? 3 wins?

[ivory mortar]

hi does anyone have the image of this season the chasm card back?

[stoic dust]

#tournament-updates

it shown there

[sullen ocean]

that stream requirement is the only thing I'm concerned about, doing that on a 4gb RAM 2yr old laptop is near impossible

[flat aspen]

because if you make it to top 4 where the matches are streamed and recorded you'll need to be able to do that

in theory if you think you'd never get that far then it's mostly a non-issue

[stoic dust]

oh then probably yeah

[south sierra]

pray people dont spam wanderer, eula and mona deck xd

will be the people skill higher? since it seems in random matches all is easier xd

[peak mural]

hello, how does the tcg tournament work? it's my first time

it's required to stream my game in the server?

[naive cloud]

not in the preliminary phase

[urban heron]

Btw i got a question about streaming, is it only screenshare or more is required, and is it possible on mobile (if not i can switch to pc)

[remote furnace]

someone practice with me

[plucky lodge]

Would anyone like to practice for the tournament ? (Europe server)

[peak mural]

are you from what server?

[remote furnace]

america

[celest magnet]

Does arena of champion actually give you anything or is it just another place to pvp?

[rough patio]

It's just for self satisfaction

[celest magnet]

Thanks

[hard zealot]

it gives you a special frame on your card icon when viewing the deck

that's so inconspicious you won't even notice it was there as a result of Arena of Cope

[rancid plover]

Hello! What were y'all's first decks? Mine was with Mona, Ganyu and Keqing and I had no idea what I was doing for a good while–

[chilly basalt]

Mona Ganyu Xingqiu

[chilly basalt]

though today I'd recommend something like this, it's quite good at farming npcs and also a good pvp deck right now

[rancid plover]

OH wow you already had one of the present meta decks way back?

[chilly basalt]

the cards I played in it probably weren't ideal ^^

that was before the xq nerf though, his burst used to deal 2 dmg

[rancid plover]

Ah well I think it's cause there weren't all that many cards yet to support characters with five dice skills, like the Liyue resonance and so on

Though Ganyu was still a menace

[chilly basalt]

though for Ganyu freeze less dmg on active char might be preferable. less chance to ko the active char and let them act.
I'm quite happy if I can keep freezing the active char while dealing damage to the bench

[rancid plover]

AOE damage has always been a pressuring thing, and since Wanderer standby characters have been even more unsafe –

I swear that one Wanderer deck is one of the most annoying to play against

One way I learned to try and delay the Swirl first round was if you were lucky to go first and have to switch, but in general just try and find the opportunity to take Wanderer out asap

Even then though the opp could just end their round first and do it in second round/switch to Eula for freeze instead so it's still a tricky deck to deal with

[willow jacinth]

Mona sucrose keya

[rancid plover]

Ooh Freeze deck...

Out of all the new character cards who have you guys been playing a lot lately?

[boreal carbon]

I think it was Keqing Maguu Kenki Cyno during version 3.3 before Kenki was nerfed. The superconduct swirl is so funny to me LOL

[rancid plover]

OH COOL

Superconduct swirl is pretty cool to see when in effect

[chilly basalt]

Thunder Manifestation, I like its talent card (0 die → draw a card every turn) combined with the ability to overload out opponent's starters like raiden and sometimes kill

though people playing into it completely are probably just inexperienced with the new cards

I also like the idea of playing it with dendro, guaranteeing round 1 quicken. but it has no off-field application so it wouldn't want to be the only electro

[rancid plover]

Oooh, interesting...

The Thunder Manifestation is one of the scariest cause of how much damage it can do even without buffs or reactions

I've been using Dvalin after discovering a deck for him and Al-Haitham most recently

Been using Lyney and Lynette in a few different decks for mostly testing but I'll secure a deck I'm satisfied with at some point

[chilly basalt]

there wasn't much thunder manifestation in the last GITCG tournament results though
https://fxtwitter.com/invokationtcg/status/1741449456128868572?s=20
https://vxtwitter.com/invokationtcg/status/1741232703138086930?s=46&t=zKoVi6PXmi9CYL3DhqvnAg

(taken from #social-media-feed on the GITCG server in #🤝partnered-servers)

Lynette is the char that feels strongest out of the new ones

TM is more of a case of me thinking the talent card is broken and it has a unique mechanic

[rancid plover]

It's the first that costs zero and card draws are always good

[rancid plover]

True the DMG bonuses he can apply on his own is crazy

I'd say Al-Haitham is also up there cause especially honestly for his two energy burst cost he can do a lot of damage already

And he can OTK pretty hard

[hard zealot]

my first deck looked a bit like this

[polar fox]

I think mine was Mona, keqing, and xiangling 😭. I just thought Mona's special talent and keqings teleport cards were cool lol

[chilly basalt]

yeah, alhaitham's dendro application is kinda insane

[chilly basalt]

it's also that it triggers regardless of whether Thunder Manifestation is on field

though I'm not sure it's intended behaviour

all the other card draw talents take multiple rounds to actually become card positive

and might sit in your hand for multiple rounds until you get to deploy them

since they're bound to using a skill or burst

[rancid plover]

OH WOW THE STARTER DECK? SEEING IT AS A FIRST PLACER IS CRAZY

[rancid plover]

True that's what makes it really good in another manner, talent cards tend to only work when skills and bursts are used

[chilly basalt]

not sure that's a first placer, they probably just used the same deck presentation tool (?)

[rancid plover]

AW AWESOME THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO

Keqing's burst is also just crazy especially with added piercing DMG

[rancid plover]

OH I see, still I haven't seen that deck in ages it's pretty cool nonetheless to see it...

On that topic though what do you use for that template?

[chilly basalt]

not sure

[rancid plover]

Oh okay thanks anyways!

[hard zealot]

genshincards dot com

Sussy Paimon will smite me if I write it down properly

[rancid plover]

OH COOL TY

[minor igloo]

Played the same deck(though Mona and xingqiu are swapped) since the beginning of tcg 🔥 love to see it still going strong up till now

Always interesting to see how old decks face against new ones with new cards to consider

Though I am still contemplating if the monstadt or Gouba arcane card works better for that still…

[rancid plover]

YEAH TRUE

[late widget]

Good day fellas

[rancid plover]

Hmm, Fresh Wind of Freedom works best in decks that deal a lot of damage, may not be as effective if you're mainly focusing on stalling? Unless you have Cryo resonance and all

Characters like Chongyun if included deal a lot of damage for Freeze but yeah

[rancid plover]

Hello!

[chilly basalt]

I also tried a bit of Layla Yelan Yoimiya btw, though I'm not sure if it's safe enough from disruption

Layla freeze is supposed to let Yelan get her burst off. Then Yoimiya vapes, and with her talent card gets some melts from Layla's cryo app

[rancid plover]

Oh that's cool! I've tried Layla and Yelan with Signora but I've been thinking of changing someone cause I feel the deck could use some tweaking

I haven't seen Yoimiya in decks for a while

As well as other character cards

[chilly basalt]

what I don't like is how there's no early pressure at all from Layla

if the opponent has raiden you're just letting her burst

[rancid plover]

Hmm true and the Shooting Stars take quite a while to take effect...

Perhaps if you're lucky you can Freeze her before she bursts or something

Though either way there's only so many combinations you can use to take her out as quickly as possible before that happens

[short spear]

Easy peasy

So yeah I dealt with Scara, Shenhe, and Nahida.

[rancid plover]

COOL I just had a run in with that deck very recently

Although I think the deck is not all that effective?

At least from what I saw with how the opponent wasn't able to maximize it's potential, even then I think it having elements that don't cause any reaction makes it played rarely

[short spear]

You need katherine though. Makes swirling easier.

[cinder stump]

kath is bad even in 2nemo decks

just run leave it to me and anemo res

[short spear]

Yeah I see

[rancid plover]

Katheryne is seen less now too as the updates went

[warm galleon]

Kath taking companion slot on dunya pack

Even if you dont run dunya there's still little to no reason to run kath

[gritty belfry]

People need to stop playing Nahida Wanderer Shenhe... it's just objectively worse than 2nemo Shenhe and that deck isn't even that good

[rain wren]

how is that deck even supposed to work? Nahida's whole kit is on elemental reactions and cryo doesn't react with dendro, so you'd have to rely on swirl only ig...

[clear estuary]

yeah its for the extra damage nahida provides

[chilly basalt]

Nahida's elemental application would be wasted, I guess they like the +1 reaction dmg from her burst?
but if Scara dies you lose everything

just run Mona Wanderer Eula

that team still has synergy even if a char is lost

[rancid plover]

I don't get the Nahida, Shenhe and Wanderer deck either

If my memory serves right after playing against it once if a Swirl was triggered it'll also make the Seeds of Skandha take effect, but even then the deck isn't favorable

Elemental reactions are also the bread and butter in TCG so putting elements that don't make any just immediately makes it eh

[rain wren]

my friend made a mono electro deck that actually works pretty well but yeah

[rancid plover]

HELP Mono decks surprise me the most sometimes, I've gone against a Mono Hydro, Geo and Pyro before

Pyro I can get cause a lot of the characters we have are strong on their own and Geo, well, Shields and we have characters like Zhongli, Itto, Noelle and the Lawachurl. The first three are also known to hypercarry

But Hydro??

It actually held up it ended on a 1v1

[rain wren]

geo has also made a resurgence due to gorou

[rancid plover]

True

[peak mural]

Is there any difference with Raiden's talent card vs just normally using her last skill? Is there anything that was enhanced? It's literally the same

idk if there's anything for me if i put it on my deck or it's just going to occupy card slots

[rain wren]

I'm not 100% sure either but I think it means it will deal 2 dmg for every point instead of just one

I personally wouldn't use her talent card though - raiden is normally used as the first card so she wouldn't have any points yet

[chilly basalt]

yeah, it adds another +1

[rancid plover]

Even then though I don't see people use the talent card all that often

Cause usually she's just used as a battery for the first two rounds or so

[rain wren]

^

skill, na, burst, switch, gets forgotten for the rest of the game/used as a punching bag

[rancid plover]

And considering that by now everyone knows what she's used for they'll try taking her out as well

[rancid plover]

HELP the punching bag is too true, but the skill refresh is welcomed if you're lucky

The one time she won a match for me though as the last man standing was crazy lucky

[rain wren]

she's clutched my games a couple of times when I used to use her

[rancid plover]

That's cool! She's very powerful yes but considering what she's mainly being used for I'd say her talent card isn't all that useful

[rain wren]

yep yep

nowadays I replace her with fischl but I still use her in one of my decks

[rancid plover]

Cool! She's in a lot of strong decks nowadays

Aside from the deck with Jean and Dehya, do any of you guys know any other Lynette decks?

[rain wren]

lynette lyney yelan

[rancid plover]

How does it go?

Rotation I mean

[rain wren]

I can't really remember cause I've only played against it
but I think it's lyney na, swirl pyro with lynette +burst, then vape with yelan
if the game goes long enough, burst with yelan, go back to lyney

[rancid plover]

OH I see...

Thanks! I've been trying to explore other decks for the tournament

[rain wren]

ahh icic

[rancid plover]

Goodluck to everyone who registered btw

[rain wren]

what server are you on?

[rancid plover]

Asia

[rain wren]

^^^ yeah good luck to everyone :D

[rancid plover]

You?

[rain wren]

asia as well!

also ar 56 haha

[rancid plover]

Oh cool!

I've been thinking of dueling other Asia players here for fun

[rain wren]

I'm down for that

[rancid plover]

Oh awesome! Maybe we can exchange UIDs later, got stuff to do at the moment

[rain wren]

sure

[mint viper]

https://youtu.be/JY7iV8sQtGo

[rancid plover]

WHOA REALLY EXPERT PLAY I need to try this deck

[rancid plover]

If I may ask what's Signora's role in this if the focus is on Yelan and more specifically Thunder Manifestation?

[mint viper]

potentially freeze if there's a threat

[rancid plover]

Oh I see I just got to that part of the vid–

Really good deck...

[storm mountain]

Not everyone here trying while I just want the card back

[vestal river]

https://youtu.be/Slslui9qF04?si=rFcEIc3IEUuiECq4

[rancid plover]

HELP

Honestly I'm not in for the prizes really, just wanna take part

I suppose a Welkin or such would be great but I've just been wanting to be part of a TCG community

[storm mountain]

I just have collectors anxiety

I’m just praying that I just get matched up with someone worse than me

It’s just 3 matches, can’t be that hard…

[rain wren]

yeah the card back would be cool

the primos as well

[rain wren]

plot twist - the genshin anime is just going to be a detective drama surrounding tcg

[storm mountain]

Even better, Cyno is the main character

[rain wren]

yess

[storm mountain]

Base limit of 10 puns per episode

For example

Someone recently beat up a pot

They called it Mauled-Urn art

[rain wren]

💀

[storm mountain]

Even better it doubles as a pot of greed joke

[late widget]

Prince at the final scene looks satisfied in anticipation for the incoming duels lol

[rain wren]

Doodle based on this idea. Honestly it could turn into a really cool show

[storm mountain]

Final episode cyno pulls the event card out of nowhere

His secret card

[rain wren]

he lives with his final card on one 1 hp

[storm mountain]

But now I want to know what the event card was

From the academiya event

[hard zealot]

it's just very cool™

[grizzled current]

What amount of participation in the tournament is needed for the exclusive card backing? Is preliminary and meeting preliminary game quota enough? Or is it for the knockout participants/winner?

(if there is somewhere else I can ask this pls let me know!)

[ionic lion]

just 3 wins for the card back

[rancid plover]

During the Preliminary are you out of the tournament after one loss or something?

[flat aspen]

no you can play all 35 of your games if you want regardless

only the knockouts (top 16 after prelims) are single elim

[rancid plover]

OHH I SEE

AWESOME

Basically just get as many wins until then?

[pine rose]

Wanted to show these I got

[rancid plover]

COOL where'd you get them?

Ngl if it exists and I have the money I'm getting a deck of the character cards, just as a collector thing

[pine rose]

Amazon actually!

I want a deck too some day lolll

[rancid plover]

Oh noted!

Same I just wanna keep it even if perhaps in the future I stop playing Genshin or something

[pine rose]

Yeah i get that for sure

[rancid plover]

In y'all's opinions which deck is better or whatnot

Ei and Ganqing deck or Ganyu OTK

Though they share a weakness of not being the best at active character damage

[rain wren]

very dice consuming
I generally only have 1 dice consuming character in a deck, or counter it with a lot of cards that give me dice or reduce cost

I personally would not use the first deck but what's the second deck?

[final sequoia]

how are you otking with ganyu

[wicked dune]

you run yelan ganyu tm

:clueless:

[chilly basalt]

idk if a gilded dreams deck can produce that many dice

[rancid plover]

The original deck was pairing her with Xingqiu and just equipping Amos and using her talent card

[rancid plover]

Basically Ganyu is the focus and she'll be freezing and doing AOE damage

[final sequoia]

you mean ganyu freeze

[rancid plover]

Yeah, it's also just called Ganyu OTK

[final sequoia]

otk is for one turn kill you're not doing 20 dmg in 1 turn w ganyu surely

[rain wren]

ah

[rancid plover]

Well no but yeah it's just what people call it sometimes HAJSJ

[final sequoia]

probably 30 idk what has changed in the tcg in like 8 patches idk

[rain wren]

I've only seen someone do 20 damage once and even then it was only at the very end

[rancid plover]

Those damage showcases,,

Though I suppose Ei + Ganqing is possibly better?

Even if Ganyu with her equipment and all can be scary she's the only one doing damage, dice consuming and you can only freeze so much

With Ei + Ganqing the focus is more on their bursts and you have say Keqing as a backup DPS

That's just what I think tho

[rain wren]

I haven't actually watched any tcg videos I just learn on the road

[rancid plover]

That's cool too! I mean you can learn along the way most definitely by dueling

That's how I've been doing for like 90% of TCGing

[rain wren]

I've encountered that deck once
they put exile on raiden and immediately got all of their bursts ready

[rancid plover]

OH YEAH THAT TOO

Although the chances of getting Exile Circlet in the first or second round doesn't really make it worth including I would say

And the deck usually has energy giving cards already so it's not really worth it

[hollow sparrow]

My original deck is ready. 5-1 and 5-0. Beat both Wanderer and klee meta decks. Can't wait for the tournament!

[tender ice]

Is there a place where I can look up the rules/format of the upcoming Cat Tail season 1? like how many decks do you need? banning etc. I havent competed before and I want to make sure I am prepared for tomorrow's start

[hollow sparrow]

I think the only rule is you can't use the same character in two decks. Could be wrong.

[tender ice]

okay. Good that answers one question. ty 🙂

I'm surprised that isn't in the FAQ or channels. Not that I can see anyways

is there a way to ping a MOD? or someone that runs the event?

I utilized Cocogoat 🙂 should get my answer soon

[pliant plank]

https://discord.com/channels/865768900662788107/1096770459892191284

[muted wasp]

just used thunder manifestation for the first time in the heated mode
holy sht y is he so strong 💀

[frail spruce]

Question to tourney tomorrow. Will you stream the game or the face?

[muted wasp]

lyney into TM pretty much ended their raiden since she was on 2 hp and forced swapped out of

[tender ice]

@pliant plank please show me where it says what I've asked in the FAQ. I read through it. Am I missing something?

[pliant plank]

rules is in faq, you need 1 deck for prelim 3 for ko, no bans

[tender ice]

ty. Idk how I missed that. Which # question is that?

[tender ice]

30 got it ty so much

[upper saddle]

[rancid plover]

Goodluck to everyone!

[tender ice]

you too @rancid plover if you are competing

[rancid plover]

Thank you ^^ And yep I've registered!

[tender ice]

nice :3

[rancid plover]

First time and I'm excited

[tender ice]

same actually. I competed in the first ever NA event way back but a lot has changed since then

[rancid plover]

Oh cool! I hope everyone has fun in this year's tournament

[daring cape]

Idk much ab tcg what r like the "meta" decks I rlly just play the characters I like ngl

[worldly flume]

Based!

[daring cape]

I win like 50% of my matches and that's good enough for me

[rough patio]

This Heated Battle Mode is perfect for this tourney

if both players agree

[daring cape]

Heated battle mode is so fun ngl

[rough patio]

The different cards we get presented for each heated battle really does change the flavor

[daring cape]

Also latelt ive been playing against too many ppl who wait till like the last second of the timer to act and then all they do is end their round and it's so frustrating

Like you have no dice I dont think you need to think about it for that long 😭

[worldly flume]

You kinda do actually

I notice i tend to think alot if i either dice crince or gave no dice

[daring cape]

I mean yeah but usually it's when theyre losing and just wanna annoy the other player like Ive had it happen where the other player had 1 card on 1hp and I had a summon that would make me win and then they just made it take ages 😭

[worldly flume]

Ah roping

Yeah then thats def bm

[stone helm]

they act like its doing something when the other player can just do something else while they wait 💀

[rough patio]

At certain situations I pull out the surprise mf card

[daring cape]

Like babes it's wasting ur time just as much as it is mine just give up it's not that serious

[stone helm]

fr like i can just pull up youtube on mini play mode have fun staring at ur 2 hp character

[daring cape]

I mean if all my characters are still alive w an okay amt of hp and u got one char w 1hp I dont think any card is gonna save u

[daring cape]

I tend to just grab my phone and do smth else

[rough patio]

I've already survived several situations w/ just 1 HP

[stone helm]

exactly like get a hobby instead of wasting ur time doing nothing on a card minigame built into an anime game

[daring cape]

I mean yeah but it depends if u have 0 dice, 1/2hp and I have a summon on field idk what you're gonna do

Ive defs saved several situations w low hp but ive also lost several situations w low hp

[rough patio]

There's cards in the hands?

[daring cape]

Also today I played against a mono geo team that was odd (they conceded after like 3 rounds)

[stone helm]

speaking of geo decks i havent seen a zl shield bot deck in a good while

[winter wedge]

Is there a place I can find decklists to reference from previous events that performed well?

[rancid plover]

The Astra Carnival and GITCG channels?

[rough patio]

https://cards.keqingmains.com/

[rancid plover]

There's playlists of past tournaments if I recall correctly

[rough patio]

It hasn't been updated yet since the arrival of the new cards

[rancid plover]

Playing with who you like is great too, but if you're looking to expand your horizons, looking into other decks is great!

The decks considered meta from what I've seen contain characters that – for the gist of it, have really great synergy, are powerful (alone or together) and consist of strong elemental reactions

For instance this deck with Mona, Lyney and Fatui Agent. Pyro reaction decks have a consistent record of being brutal cause of the Pyro resonance and Mona applies Hydro without problem, then Lyney on his own is one of the strongest Pyro characters thus far

Plus being able to strengthen Pyro damage whether it'd be from characters or summons

[rough patio]

Lyney is the cat boy who summons a chubby black cat

[rancid plover]

Dangerous cats

[rough patio]

https://tenor.com/view/stay-cool-nail-file-black-cat-salem-gif-14652617

[rancid plover]

In general though you can make a good deck if you really know what each character does, and can pair together ones who can benefit from one another

And well, another piece of advice is what makes a deck good isn't just the characters themselves, but how you play

Cause two meta decks can face off against each other and one will still win over the other if the player outsmarts their opponent or whatnot

[daring cape]

I mainly use fischl, xiangling, childe lol I like the way they play but Im aware it's not the greatest deck

[fickle pilot]

@wispy coyote which server are you in?

[rough patio]

Sometimes my opponents rage quits

[rancid plover]

Oh well Fischl and Xiangling have been paired together before cause of the damage their summons can do, plus all three of them have strong/valuable bursts

[daring cape]

Childes just chilling

[rancid plover]

It's also important to consider what the deck needs to try and cover up any weaknesses it may have, such as how Fischl and Childe need three energy so consider using energy cards

[rancid plover]

Perhaps try and find a way to include him in the rotation, cause he's a strong character

[daring cape]

Oh I have a way!

I tend to go fischl e, then childe e to do electro charged dmg I try to also throw guoba in the mix usually a round later though but it's been working more times than it hasnt so Im happy enuff

[rancid plover]

Oh that's good then!

[daring cape]

Usually I also pray to get the mona card that gives a point of energy coz I tend to end on xiangling and then I can get her burst pretty quickly too which is always nice

Ik it's a funky deck but I find it fun

[rancid plover]

Yes her Pyronado is great! With either Fischl or Childe

And that's important too, just have fun with the deck(s) you're playing

Look over it once in a while too and consider any more action/event/companion etc. cards you could use, as a new part of it or as alternatives to existing cards

[daring cape]

Yeah I regularly change up my cards! I experiment w those and finds what works/doesnt

Ok this is embarassing but I only found out what arcane legend cards r like 2 days ago and Ive been player level 10 for months 😭

[rough patio]

Fischl, our favorite girl

[stone helm]

swirl decks are so incredibly silly

except wanderer shenemo

i hate most wanderer decks

[rancid plover]

HELP that's okay! Now that you know about them you should definitely consider including one, they can change the match big time

[rancid plover]

Wanderer, Mona, Eula my beloathed

[daring cape]

Yuhh I use em now

[stone helm]

one of my top hated decks

[rancid plover]

I haven't seen the deck in a while but when I used to deal with it often it's been so annoying

[stone helm]

i dont even know how eula works

in the deck

what does eula even do

[daring cape]

1 deck I rlly struggled w (in the regular tavern challenges) was gorous for some reason

[daring cape]

She has like a thingy w stacks and it can deal a lot of dmg it once dealt like 8 or 9 dmg against me and.I almost cried

[rancid plover]

Freeze, after Wanderer swirls the Hydro around

[stone helm]

once i forgot they changed how send off worked and i used it too late on her summon and i lost

[rancid plover]

Oh well, unfortunately even then you can't really destroy it with Send Off

[stone helm]

you can if you do it right away

sorry i misread nvm that

[daring cape]

Whats send off? Is it the xiao czrd that destroys a summon

[rancid plover]

It's okay!

[rancid plover]

Hu Tao one

[stone helm]

hu tao

[daring cape]

Ohhhh yeah

[rancid plover]

No one uses the Xiao version cause it's not only expensive, but destroys your own summons

[stone helm]

i hate wanderer so much 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️

[rancid plover]

You're lucky if your deck isn't a summon deck but even then it's not worth including

[daring cape]

I get upset when oponents do big dmg as if childe cant do like 15 dmg in a turn

[stone helm]

i love cooking up swirl decks because is that how wanderer players feel

[daring cape]

Ive never had it played against me luckily

[rancid plover]

Ah well as you go up the ranks that's to be expected, sometimes your character can already die in the end of the first round

[daring cape]

I have a kazuha deck and I love it only problem is the character he switches to after his e often dies first bc theyre on field most 😭

[rancid plover]

Oh what's the deck?

[stone helm]

lynette fatui swirl is just as fun

[rancid plover]

You can probably fix the order so that whoever that is doesn't get killed too quickly, unless they're a more important character

[daring cape]

Kazuha diluc raiden ‼️

[stone helm]

you should use signora instead

of raiden

i mean diluc

[daring cape]

Eh it doesnt rlly matter Ive tried both but tbf I dont use the deck often only in open world challenges

[stone helm]

💀

[rancid plover]

Oh I see

[daring cape]

Yeah I get the mix up they look rlly similar

[stone helm]

i was rereading the message while typing and wasnt looking at what i wrote 💀

[daring cape]

Is vorushka glow or however it's spelled the best artifact for lyney? Since he deals dmg to himself too and all

[rancid plover]

Hmm, it's best in Stall decks but it's a flexible artifact, though I wouldn't say the best

[stone helm]

imo its best on chrs like raiden and xq

[rancid plover]

Perhaps Gilded (if it's a rainbow/three element deck) or Vermillion Hereafter that not only lessens NA dice cost, but makes them deal +1 damage

[daring cape]

O

[rancid plover]

If you're worried about Lyney dealing damage to himself that's what Bewildering Lights is for, it consumes the Prop Surplus and heals him

And you get to do additional damage per Prop Surplus stack

So if it's a 3 DMG skill, it'll be 4 with 1 Prop Surplus and so on

[daring cape]

Uhhh yeah I totally know all these words

[rancid plover]

HELP well you learn on the way

TLDR is you should opt to maybe use another artifact for him like Gambler's cause of how much damage he can do

[daring cape]

Ohhh fair

Maybe ill start using lyney, what chars work well w him?

[rancid plover]

Yes he's really strong! Honestly any Pyro reactions will do and you can pair him with almost anyone

For Vaporize go for say Mona and/or Yelan, Burning with Nahida, Overload with Fischl, there's bountiful options

He can also do very well solo with his talent card so either way you have a powerful character in your hands

To really maximize it go for double Pyro so you have the resonance, but even without it he can do a lot of damage

[daring cape]

Would xiangling be okay?

[stone helm]

well he basically replaces xiangling but he doesnt have the same burst with the addition of high damage from his skill

[rancid plover]

Xiangling is typically used in Summon decks and with characters who can use her Pyronado, but she's still a good option for Pyro resonance if you're going for adding a Pyro summon to the deck

An alternative is the Fatui Agent, who also triggers the Fatui resonance and let's you use Fatui Conspiracy

Or Klee who's a really good applier of Pyro and has a powerful skill and burst

And Bennett too for his damage bonus

[gritty belfry]

Voru is arguably one of the best artifacts rn alongside gilded, gamblers and totm, its just a mini totm that u can slot into any deck that wants to play the artifact engine

[worldly flume]

hi

[abstract storm]

does anybody here have a limited card back from tournaments? id like to see how they look like

or if they are showcased somewhere can yoi show me where?

[barren knot]

You can see the card back for this iteration in #tournament-updates

Should be able to find previous ones if you scroll up far enough too

[brisk spade]

so what do u do after u win or lose a match ?, does it add to ur score or do u do it manualy

[rancid plover]

Win or lose I think it adds to your score, wins are 3 pts and losses are 1

[gritty belfry]

Do /giconclude then choose win or lose, then have ur opponent confirm the result

[brisk spade]

alr thx

[polar fox]

we can queue for the preliminary thing now right? it keeps saying it's not started yet

[plucky lodge]

I think it’s only starting tomorrow

[polar fox]

ohh ok ya that actually makes sense. it's not 10pm yet. i'm dumb lol

[plucky lodge]

Haha no worries

[daring cape]

this first timeslot is suboptimal tho ngl 😭

[maiden marsh]

i'm i tripping or they have changed the card effect

because someone just used an arcane venti card on me and i was like no way he can carry on after killing without 2 mondstadt characters

and they did

[gritty belfry]

They changed it about 2 patches ago, Fresh wind of freedom is the card that lets u move again after killing, normal wind and freedom got the nerf and they gave the old effect to the new card

[maiden marsh]

omg so cringe

now you can't kill them because they might have an itto card and you can't let them kill you

because they can use this

[south sierra]

Well isn’t you can’t let them kill you, if they use a arcane card, then they cannot use anymore the Arcane effect that let them move after kill 1 of your character

Is all around mental playing, you can never use a arcane card, and the opponent need play safe in case you have the Fresh (don’t remember the name) that enable you act after a kill, but you don’t have that card XD

Is the same thing with itto card, change to a character that will be killed, and the opponent will have 50/50 to kill your character or pass because you maybe have a itto card (and in your hand you can really have the itto card or don’t have anything and is just for save your carry)

That only work for pro players, someone moves of that isn’t work if the other part don’t even know that card exist or don’t think in what combos you can make with that extra dice + energy 😂😅

[maiden marsh]

ofc your using nahida with that card

dealing a massive burst through quicken stuff which i still have no clue how it hits so hard meanwhile it doesn't do damage in the actual game

there is no 50/50 there is "you get punished for defeating my character"

thank goodness they nerfed it to only one usage per round because holy crap before it was a must have in deck

[south sierra]

The 50/50 is the mental battle that I mean, example you can see somebody swap nahida to Klee (nahida having 1 energy, 4hp and Klee 2hp with 2 dice left) you having some character that do 4 dmg with 10hp and 5dice, with paimon card in the inventory, you can kill Klee or finish your turn first and use paimon

If you kill Klee, the rival maybe can use itto card or he swap because they want nahida survive

If you didn’t kill Klee in this round, and the opponent don’t have itto card, then you waste your time to kill Klee, since maybe next round he really get itto card, or you kill Klee and the opponent just finish round because he really don’t have itto card

Anyway, if the opponent don’t have enough dice to burst, even with itto card, you can save defeat the opponent character and change your active character if the opponent active itto card to tank the dmg in the start of the next round

If you really think defeat a opponent will punish you, maybe just try equip Arcane card that enable acte 2 times consecutive and defeat the 3 character in the same round

Is that or try summon deck, where all dmg come in the final phase where enemy never can use itto card :), also, the itto card if I not wrong, is a old old card, so I don’t understand why you said the thing about itto card

[daring cape]

holy moly

[south sierra]

didnt know you can do that dmg with only the skill xd (i know x2, but 9 dmg without any reactions, seems really nice (dont know how that character work xd))

[chilly basalt]

his skill's base dmg is 3. It gets +1 for each prop stack, up to thrice

his talent adds +2 dmg once per round against targets affected by pyro

so 3 + 3 + 2
the last point is from the weapon I think

[muted trellis]

hello guys.. I am a bit confused on how I can participate tomorrow in the first round of EU

I did register btw I just dont know what to do now.. it says the time period and thats it

[muted trellis]

the damage would have been the same if was inflicted w hydro

which is funny

[celest magnet]

Well you just wait until one of the times unlocks and then you hit the start button in the #preliminary-queue

[muted trellis]

OHHHH

alr ty

🙂

[rancid plover]

Goodluck to everyone!

[daring cape]

game went on for so long I ran out of cards... what

[rancid plover]

HELP I had a match like that before

Battle of the stall decks

When matches stretch to beyond 10 rounds it's a battle of wills

[daring cape]

They revived 2 of their characters and then had them healed to 7HP I wanted to cry

also first time ive ever managed to complete this wow

[rancid plover]

Congrats!

I just recently completed one myself, I swear there seems to always be a turning point when you reach 3 wins and the battles get harder, fitting though I suppose

[rancid plover]

Rip

[daring cape]

still won tho

[rancid plover]

Awesome! Honestly when stuff like that happens and/or the match stretches on you feel like it's becoming a stalemate

[rain wren]

congrats!!

[minor igloo]

Gotta loves those decks that randomly sweep your whole team in a single round unannounced

[minor igloo]

I completely miss judged the capabilities that qiqi has in a stall deck

Or should I say I underestimate her entirely

[rancid plover]

Especially with her talent card– and TOTM and Aquila

Pain

[rancid plover]

Pyro decks be like

[minor igloo]

just TotM is painful enough

all of a sudden I remembered that one game I had when zhongli was the last card with no shield

next moment he had like 13 shield points or smth

and a burst at the ready .-.

[rancid plover]

And a gazillion dice

Pain

[minor igloo]

if its one deck I faced that genuinely shocked me that used TotM was a ganyu freeze team that show'ed no signs of getting cryo dice or any extra ones

and somehow they can consistently use her CA without sacrificing cards

and I just stood there

frozen(literally)

as how that deck can even function

my guy had the best dice rng his entire life that game

[rancid plover]

OH WHAT

H o w

[rain wren]

preliminary phase has begun

good luck everyone! I think eu's first slot starts pretty soon

[stone helm]

once my stall deck went against a zl shield bot deck and we tied💀

[gritty belfry]

#selfpromo https://youtu.be/J2avTYs9zHA?si=ZSY6uAABhUD15ob4

[chilly basalt]

(I think deck 2 and 3 are the same deck twice? also no Wagner in deck 2 despite the name?)

[stone helm]

mewing deck

[gritty belfry]

Noooooo i messed uppp

I made sure the deck sample section is correct tho

Thx for pointing it out

[chilly basalt]

yup, just got to the later section where you go over them :]

[serene swallow]

Wah!!!! I didn't know that TCG also had meta

[late widget]

is constantly evolving this comunity. I believe since last year, on EU and Asia they introduced small tournaments, this year may be bigger with the addition of the tournaments for NA servers

good luck to everyone participating on the tournament that starts today

[polar fox]

yes yess good luck peoples

[urban heron]

Good luck to everyone who will be participating on the tournament, hopefully i can get the card back lol, first time playing in a tourney

[rancid plover]

Goodluck and have fun y'all!

[silent aurora]

Goodluck !!

[tidal herald]

Goodluck!

[short spear]

Most insane clutch I ever dealt with.

[rancid plover]

CLUTCH

[short spear]

I was sweating so hard.

[rancid plover]

You can literally feel the intensity in moments like this

[short spear]

He has insane deck stup and 3 shotted my Wanderer and Dvalin.

So I was left with Ayaka.

[rancid plover]

She's a brave soldier, mad respect

[late widget]

GG

[short spear]

Do I have a chance in tournament? Maybe no?

Had unluckiest dice rolls.

[rancid plover]

You still do! And it's just the first day

The dice RNG sucks sometimes but just do your best

[lost sleet]

What's option in cat tail to start a duel in tourment

[rancid plover]

You have to be in Co Op with your opponent and whether it's your world or not, either of you will invite to do the duel

[fluid bough]

theres a lot of people using this deck, im gonna cry

[minor igloo]

Looking at that guy, he should have just ended round early and proc overload, thank god he didn’t do that

[urban heron]

4-1 first day, did surprisingly better than i was expecting, still no 5-0 players in america server but im assuming in the second timeslot of the day we will see more people. EDIT: nvm we got a 5-0 now

[serene swallow]

how to deal with no match crystals/ cards? I pulled unlucky crystals all the time

[urban heron]

cards that collect dice or switch dice can help, you have to balance the amount you use carefully, also elemental tuning can help if absolutely necessary, but overall most meta decks will still have some dice rng to it

[short spear]

He had a head start while I had unlucky dice rolls

[minor igloo]

Such is the life of a tcg player

[daring cape]

To enter you just need to press start here during the mentioned times right (im on eu server so between 19:00 and 23:00)

[boreal carbon]

Yes you are right

[late widget]

and so the first braked is over. How was it? lots of meta decks?

[finite briar]

Good luck, everyone!!

[minor igloo]

Don’t believe in luck. Believe in the heart of the cards

[final sequoia]

heart of the cards was literally just cheating

[jolly skiff]

In preliminary there's no card limit right?

[plucky lodge]

Yep. No card limit

[jolly skiff]

So i can even use the same deck if i Wish to?

[earnest furnace]

Yeah you can use same deck for 35 games or 35 different decks

[graceful scaffold]

can someone recommend me some Nahida decks?

[plucky lodge]

Nahida, fishl and mona is a solid summon deck

[graceful scaffold]

I've been using this exact deck, I was thinking of slotting keqing in place of fischl though

perhaps she doesnt fit that well?

[plucky lodge]

Hmm I would add some energy gaining cards to get keqing burst faster

But it would work good I think

[graceful scaffold]

another card game to nerd out in oh boy

[daring cape]

just played my best round so far omg all my cards had more than 7hp still when I won

[velvet comet]

Hi guys

[daring cape]

hellow

[velvet comet]

Hi guys, want to ask about how many tcg matches can I play against other players per day?

Does it matter if its wins or losses?

[daring cape]

Well 5 in this tournament and as many as u like in general

[velvet comet]

5 per day in the tournament?

[jolly skiff]

Not 5 per day

5 evey 24hrs

If you dont play for 3 days, you have 15 games

[jolly skiff]

Wins will get u to the bracket

[velvet comet]

Excuse my lack of understanding English, what is bracket ?

[jolly skiff]

The tournament

[final sequoia]

Tournament matchups

The shape is similar to a bracket ]

[jolly skiff]

What Is a genshin? Good question

And why does It impact?

[velvet comet]

Thank you

[minor igloo]

Genshin is impacting

And impact is genshining

[final sequoia]

mark you just explained it really confusing

[velvet comet]

Sp I only get 5 matches per day. Either if its losses or wins it will count for 5

[final sequoia]

Each day you get 5 chances, day 1 you have 5, day 2 you have 10

when you play a game it takes 1 chance

[jolly skiff]

But the max Is still 35, right?

[final sequoia]

yeah 35 across 7 days

[velvet comet]

So if i lost 1 match day 1 will I be having 9 chances day 2?

[final sequoia]

yes

[velvet comet]

Tysm!

[jolly skiff]

The way i explained It: each day +5 chances

[velvet comet]

Thanks guys this is so helpful

[velvet comet]

Thanks

[final sequoia]

yeah I just find it much easier to explain it by saying you have x tickets

[jolly skiff]

Unfortunately today i had an exam + gym

Tomorrow i'll go full 10 games

[final sequoia]

good luck w that

[jolly skiff]

Games in this game are actually long

im looking at you geo

[final sequoia]

be glad dp isn't good, hour long games would dif you

unless it's good now that would be funny I think

if you change your mindset you will have more fun

[jolly skiff]

Footage Is not necessary right?

But i Guess it's good to learn mistakes

[merry merlin]

[final sequoia]

No but I used to record my games

[jolly skiff]

The Competitive mindset

[minor igloo]

What?

[daring cape]

I won 2/5 of my matches today

I got HORRIBLE card and dice luck </3 why

[eager bear]

could someone please give me the easiest netdeck to farm 3 wins with? i don't mind losing 10 games for those 3 wins.

[jolly skiff]

I Guess double pyro/aggravate Is the best to play aggro and get a win against control/slow decks

[eager bear]

thanks i'll look it up

there's so many new cards all the time it feels like whatever i learned last time barely carries over

[finite briar]

Same boss

[finite briar]

Geo is fun until the game lasts 3 days but yeah😂

[eager bear]

nooo let me lose fast

[remote furnace]

i can there is 2 really really easy deck

[eager bear]

plz send

[remote furnace]

its less brain need than nilou baizhu

its tartag raiden bennet

broken af

[eager bear]

how 2 paly

[remote furnace]

turn 3 ko

or bennet cube

just raiden and bennet talent and tartar will one shot with burst

and 5 damage with normall attack

[eager bear]

wao

i will try

[remote furnace]

you need storm terror lair

gambler

[eager bear]

do you have a link to a deck list or of it being played

[remote furnace]

?

you know what make your own deck

[eager bear]

well sure not like i can build a deck just from saying what the 3 chars are

[remote furnace]

or use signora thunder is

[eager bear]

so same situation as before

[remote furnace]

i dont want to face raiden bennet tartag so i am not sharing it

my winrate is 0.86 for no reason

[merry merlin]

idk much about childe raiden bennett, but it is probably something along the line of this: AGHAChMQAqEAC08QBLHwDoMQCOAw9ZcPCVBx0TQNExBAwsEMDCAQxskMDGCQ3fYPD0AA

Test it and change the cards to fit your own style

[eager bear]

thanks

[daring cape]

what r some good nahida decks?

[pliant plank]

fischl mona or fischl lyney

[daring cape]

what

ohhhh I can try that!

does she work w xiangling?

[pliant plank]

oh yea xiangling raiden

havent seen that one in a while tho

[remote furnace]

that is not right

you dont neeed raiden talent card it is bad

you dont need varukashas glow because you dont need to heal

you can use tartag skill

so your storm terror lair all 3 usage will be used up

[merry merlin]

Look at it, it is bennett talent not raiden talent, voru is basically free draw and heal for 1 dice, childe talent is cope

[remote furnace]

raiden doesnt need talent

[daring lagoon]

[celest magnet]

Someone please explain the forge realm: curious countermeasures challenge in razor language bc I have fought it so many times and still keep failing

[merry merlin]

are you capable of reading?

[merry merlin]

[remote furnace]

just search youtube video, some play dont even need to play a single card to do it

like this guy
高嶺翔 / Takamine Shou Channel

[celest magnet]

Okay thanks. I’ll give them a shot

[remote furnace]

its mainly sucrose swirl

switching to abyss mage and switching back to slime constant swirl

for the omni dice onces

[eager bear]

what's the meaning of the grayed out and 2 cards chosen when i do have 2 copies of it

[remote furnace]

you already have them

in your deck

[pliant plank]

you probably dont own the card

[eager bear]

so everything is fine? seems weird for greyed out

[remote furnace]

its saids 2 card chosen

[pliant plank]

try clicking on it and buying it

[pliant plank]

if you can enter a game with it there should be no problem

[eager bear]

yeah weird

net decking is hard!

[remote furnace]

can i ask what server are you in

[pliant plank]

na and as

[cinder stump]

[pliant plank]

sus

[remote furnace]

[cinder stump]

[fossil steppe]

[remote furnace]

@pliant plank signora thunder vs signora thunder is so stupid the one starting have major advantage

and i almost still lose

笨

[daring cape]

same!

Does anyone else hate it when oponents just concede like pls let me finish u off that's the best part of the game </3

[pliant plank]

conceding good, saves time

[remote furnace]

i have like 9 ramp card and didnt pull any

[upper saddle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1085079711870369843.gif?size=48&name=PitaShake&quality=lossless

[remote furnace]

spending 7 card just to tune dice

[upper saddle]

conceding bad

[pliant plank]

conceding good when i play ls with a dead ning

ggs ggs

class time

[remote furnace]

alright

maybe next time

[remote furnace]

come here and play tcg

[upper saddle]

I'm just a bad diona main

[remote furnace]

i only played for 7 weeks

ar 55 3 weeks in how good of a player can i be

and i never get good luck

so you probably would win anyways

[upper saddle]

how did your game against nyahida go?

[pliant plank]

i got destroyed

[upper saddle]

in that case you would beat me

[pliant plank]

leoric avenge me

[upper saddle]

nya?!

[pliant plank]

[upper saddle]

you're asking the wrong person

I'm bad

[pliant plank]

me too

4.3 cardss too much text

head go spinny

[upper saddle]

I'd just stain your name

[pliant plank]

leoric i choose you!

[upper saddle]

[upper saddle]

622963441

[fossil steppe]

[upper saddle]

I've done that before

[remote furnace]

qwq

[remote furnace]

[upper saddle]

one of you is lying to me

[remote furnace]

why would i lie

[pliant plank]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[remote furnace]

i mean... there is a lot of reason i would there but i didnt this time

[upper saddle]

anyway duel me so I can prove I'm a bad player

[remote furnace]

alr

[upper saddle]

that you?

[remote furnace]

probably

[frigid mica]

I underestimated the meaning of stall
first time trying the deck

[remote furnace]

stall is pretty good against mid game decks

mid game is good for early decks

and early decks is good acounter for stall

[final sequoia]

welcome to death penalty it is the most fun archetype

[remote furnace]

so it is basically a rock paper scissor game

[pliant plank]

@upper saddle lmk when you win thanks!

[paper falcon]

can i bother y'all to give me like a "for dummies" on deck building? ive never been great at card games

[frigid mica]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ossdRfY7TOA

[pliant plank]

1. find a goal with the deck
2. pick cards that help synergize with the goal
3. make sure its balanced, card draw, sustain, etc.
4. test the deck a few times and change cards based on result
5. repeat 4 like 50 times

alternatively you can just steal the deck

[paper falcon]

well, that makes sense on paper, but im not sure how to put it into practice.

im gonna look into that youtube video aswell and see where that gets me

[upper saddle]

I won you're welcome

[final sequoia]

the best way to figure out how to put it into practice is to try doing it one step at a time

[pliant plank]

im proud of you son

[remote furnace]

no gilded dreams no lire song

[final sequoia]

so figure out what idea you want to play

[remote furnace]

i pulled 23 cards.

[upper saddle]

first I'm a pokemon then I'm your son?

[final sequoia]

it happens sometimes we bottom 4 hydro reso x2 itto x2

[upper saddle]

the luck of diano

[pliant plank]

im a pokemon :)

[upper saddle]

now then

[upper saddle]

can you nya for me

[remote furnace]

i have literally the worst luck of all genshin player

[pliant plank]

nya~

[upper saddle]

thank you

[final sequoia]

Sometimes you just gotta play around luck boss idk what to tell you

and by sometimes I mean all the time, that's the point even

[remote furnace]

i have play 6 games today

and have 5 times where 2 reroll doesnt get me anydice that matches my character

[pliant plank]

i was a believer in rng until binzu brutally destroyed me for 2 hours straight

[final sequoia]

it is what it is, sometimes we get unlucky 🥶

[remote furnace]

who is binzu

[final sequoia]

binzu my goat

[pliant plank]

binzu is goated

[final sequoia]

eu player and barbara enjoyer

I am the ORIGINAL binzu fan (self-proclaimed)

[remote furnace]

and second, the chance of not getting omi dice or dice that matches your active character is 3/4 ^ 16 for 16 rolls

[pliant plank]

either binzu is always lucky or binzu doesnt need luck xD

[remote furnace]

well i really need luck

[final sequoia]

sometimes the odds aren't w you but what's important is recognizing when it's actually rng and when you could have done something better

And even if it is rng almost always you could have done something better

so why focus on the rng for longer than dang I got rolled

[remote furnace]

if i have gilded dreams or lotus flower crips earlier

i would have done 2 more attack and prevent overload one shot my wanderer

or even lyre song i would have probably killed thunder

[final sequoia]

yeah and if your opponent started the game with the optimal mulligan you would have gotten smoked anyways

[remote furnace]

if we both get what we want then it up to skill

[final sequoia]

if you did different plays your opponent would also have done different things you just gotta wait til it happens to see it happen

[cinder stump]

we all believe ourselves to be lowrollers

[upper saddle]

luck can play a big role on the game as it limits what you can do safely

[cinder stump]

but nobody thinks opponent ever lowrolls

[pliant plank]

i highroll binzu and still lose ;-;

[upper saddle]

but there are ways you can play around your luck

[final sequoia]

yeah but there's still skill involved when someone is unlucky, but even if you're unlucky you can still play your best

[upper saddle]

for example you didnt have to go for another attack on wanderer, you could have swaped back to mona

[final sequoia]

There are times when you literally cannot win because of luck, but if you played the best that was possible and there was no money then you played perfectly

and if you didn't play the best that was possible around the circumstances you can't really complain

for a lot, you can still complain

[remote furnace]

if i switch to mona then you still one shot me because thunder manifestation is broken and have rod on me'

[final sequoia]

but you just gotta hold it sometimes

[remote furnace]

[upper saddle]

e-girl means you cant just dodge a hit by swaping but you can force who egirl will hit for the whole round

[remote furnace]

what is the difference

[final sequoia]

what is egirl in this context

[remote furnace]

my wanderer is still going to die next action and if i switch then i waste 3 dice on switching

[cinder stump]

station

[upper saddle]

attack with mona at the begining of the round and now egirl can only attack mona with their e

[final sequoia]

I have not looked at new cards since 3.6 I'm gonna need more help than that

[remote furnace]

i dont have any more dice to do that

[upper saddle]

you do it at the begining of the round

[remote furnace]

otheriwise i would have stopped on wanderer and leave it useless for rest of the round bcause i need dice

[upper saddle]

egirl

[remote furnace]

and also i didnt roll hydro or anemo dice

so sacrificing 3 cards not for anemo is basically done

[pliant plank]

youre gonna have fun reading 4.3 cards
they have more text on 1 character than your whole 3.6 team

[naive cloud]

where was that list with all names of this card… cuz I remember egirl and birb only

[pliant plank]

probably thunder and station

[pliant plank]

yugioh and MTG 💀

[final sequoia]

LOL also LOL and LOL, I wish oomfie bc I had to stop playing bc of irl and moving and stuff but now I legit can't install tcg

[pliant plank]

wait wait is that old yugioh card?

[final sequoia]

the side game is too much space

[remote furnace]

also they need to nerf thunder so rod is remove every round and only apply if someone attack that round

[pliant plank]

thought yugioh early was fine and just got feature creeped hard
