I made a joke once, which was a little nudge, since some of the stuff you said on the anniversary thread was wrong or exaggerated. You need to take accountability for what you’ve said and not just say stuff, expect that people will forget, and keep repeating it.
As for this time there was literally no reason to get riled up, I just remembered another outrageous thing DonT had said and this was the perfect example of that, you faced Coltraz many times and wanted a system that prevents that from happening. This is exactly why DonT’s suggestion was bad and would fail.
We can see exactly who the user is who, without any sense, talks about a controversial topic without being relevant, he wasn’t even talking about it but he does the opposite of his mission which should be to moderate however what he does is create more controversy
We don’t want this thread to become a pointless discussion like the anniversary thread. But there are things that need to be made clear. The one who pays does it because he wants to and because he can do it, if you don’t have an advantage over the one who doesn’t pay even if you have the resources to do so (monsters and money), you have a problem and it’s nobody’s fault). There is a misconception out there that because I pay I have to have an advantage no matter what, and that is a mistake. Neo is a strategy game above all else and if you run a poorly assembled team a f2p with a well-made team will come and beat you. If you are a whale and you know how to manage your resources well and you have good strategies then your advantage is guaranteed. What I just said is nothing personal nor is it directed at anyone, it is a general opinion.
I would like a special rule where exclusively the monsters from Hunter Island can be used. This could give everybody a view into the past and nostalgic history of the monster designs.
At first I thought the special rule would be difficult (I didn’t plan to play while the special rule was in place) but seeing my monsters with less than 50% speed I was able to put together a team that allowed me to achieve my win goal faster than in other rules or without rules I hope it comes out at some other time the only thing I don’t like is the pairings my account is in rank ~100 and they paired me with ranks 200 the sad thing is that I only have 2 awake and I couldn’t face them anymore
I wanted to say: I judged this event too harshly. After the meta developed, it was really fun to counter it and I had high success after a few losses (Im at 66%, mostly because I tried to force light and dark FL which got ruined by ldie and that butterfly SE even though I knew it was gonna be the meta).
This FL countered many of the meta monsters and wasted a lot of opponents’ turns. Deus X banning skips was already worth to run and forced opponent’s only aggressive unit to kill it (Carmilla) while everyone else was forced to skip. He basicly acted like a protecter on FL and if they ignore him, he countered the other most popular monsters which were green monsters.
-Made kirina a sitting duck to die since she was banned from using 1 TU move and she shouldn’t pierce kill anything
-Same thing with Mistletorment, took away his turn one aggression.
Bastia: Oh how I missed running her on FL without being worried she would to die maneater by that pesky whale or voidress. She is bastia, not much to explain. Just there to ruin anyone’s day for relying on entrances heavily and since she is hard to kill in this special rule, she basicly made 5-8 spot entrances useless. I know you will wonder the same thing of why are you running her with a gravity field but her providing healing and shield against non-piercing monsters is very important + thanks to Deus X I can skip safely and line up with Sunflower to heal her and let deal max double confident strike damage.
Next GF Sunflower: a lot of people underestimate her here because they think she will be deadweight after being hit once but as you can see, I have full control of turns thanks to Deus X and I have 2 good healers (Bastia and Giehretus) and GF Jasmine to keep her being useful. Her passive is very important here too because she basicly acts like a Bastia-proof Motordragon since she gets ignored after making her “useless”. Also 49% speed is basicly 98% speed in this rule. (She can be replaced with another green sweeper tbh but I feel like she adds a lot of annoying rng for the opponent to deal with thanks to her speed + bronzeshell placements)
Lastly, the mvp, Emeraldont (love the name I wish I had him 9* potted because elem accelerate comes up a lot): He counters two of the most famous FLs in this rule which is Ldie and Cynthia thanks to gravity field. Every single move this guy had was useful now. 50 TU + 100TU throw basicly killed anything for a unit that brings insane amount of control and support (with elem accelerate 39TU and 75TU respectively but this could’ve been even lower with pots). His soul shield came up a lot too and since you get insane amount of rocks (again since the same thing with sunflower happens to him, he gets ignored people thinking he is or will be a deadweight). He also makes the endgame fully protected by 12+ rockoids lmao and these are the places that gets full protected by ap through the whole game specifically the endgame for emeraldont protection:
Anyways, overall the FL was exaclty what I was missing from this game: Slow and grindy FL that doesn’t get swept so easily, and people are forced to deal with your floodgates (bastia banning entrances, Deus X banning 1TU moves and skipping turns, and lastly gravity field). I judged it too hard but it was amazing and I genuinely enjoyed it. Sometimes it’s a good thing for there to be an absolute meta so you get to actually build a fun anti-meta team. I reached grandchampion yesterday so I wanted to share my experience today. Hope to see more interesting special rules like this.
It would be great if devs would implement different PvP events at the same time with different rules so that players can choose the one they like and have a chance to become top if their teams are stronger with those specific rules, also better rewards for top ranked players like 7* tickets, that way everyone will be motivated to reach the top
Don’t be such a dreamer Exu!
