    Shows just how important adapting to your opponents strategy and anticipating their next move is. One card destroyed everyone, and all it took was shifting it around!

    • @SwapGoTron
      @SwapGoTron ปีที่แล้ว +21

      There's a very rare Divine Pet that replaces the next card your opponent plays with a Normal Attack for the rest of the fight. Every time I hit it, it caused the opponent's deck to become a trainwreck. Never did I think an autobattler would let me Thoughtseize someone

      @@AceOfBladei haven't played against Reto, but having played the game myself it's definitely fun once you can get a build going, and with the deck building aspect you tend to fail upwards. yea you might lose a battle but then you'll draw the cards you'll need to do better

      @@AceOfBlade my honest opinion: This game is fun to watch, but not very fun for me to play. It's simply because strategising against people isn't my strong suit, so I'm kinda discouraged. I'm always bad at Chess, too
      Reto is always honest with his opinions about games, tho. At least, as far as I know. If he said it is fun or fresh, then it is usually fun or fresh for most people.
      Then again, the most important question. Is the game your jam?

    glad to see that you keep this series going, as Chinese, I would love to see this game to be known globally
    Edit: and one little tip, when you have "breakthrough", you should do that first and then reroll for cards, cuz that way, you get next phase cards . VIce versa, if you don't want to search for the next phase card, you can delay the breakthrough and try to get your current phase card to the maximum level.

    • @kyliad

    Those Qi drain mind games were great. I had a really fun run where I did something similar sabotaging builds with some lesser qi-drain and such. Gotta be careful for builds that don't care about Qi, but definitely the sort of build that highlights the power of good counter-positioning.

    Was there a reason not to move one of the hexagram rhythms after the first five thunder? Wouldn't it have used up all the hexagrams so you could get them back with rhythm and use them again for the second five thunder?

    • @tinfoilmkiv8394
      @tinfoilmkiv8394 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think Reto was getting too caught up on the Star Point locations and thinking cards had to use them when they didn't have that requirement. Or at least that's what it looked like. Or it's just there's so much going on first time using a faction that it's hard to properly consider everything. It's a lot easier watching as a third party.
