If people are struggling with hard and very hard fights, here’s a few pieces of advice: - run 9 crit/4 heal and as many PGs as possible - Run cards that have abilities such as counterblast 1 to get +1k - Try and put as many high power cards as possible for grade 1s 8000 or 7000, for grade 2 10000 or 9000 and for grade 3 11000 or 10000 - Auto fight with these tips and you should be able to get all the achievements within at least 2-8 attempts
My general tip for Charafights: Load your deck full of crits, and just auto. Let the CPU try to beat it without breaking a sweat, it'll fail a few times but it'll get it eventually even with 4 or less damage. Genuinely saves you a lot of sanity LOL Also stands are still really good in certain decks like OTT, but they're generally very deck-dependent. You absolutely do wanna run 4 Perfect Guards, since it's your only form of defense regardless of deck - let's push that point home haha Hyped to see more man!
The only CPU I ever had trouble with in character fights was Aichi. Like holy smokes even on easy he was balls to the wall insane compared to the others. Lol honestly Very hard Aichi was easier then hard Aichi but I've cleared them all now. I'm only just now looking up videos of zero and all of this would have saved me so much time. Lol
God I’m so glad so many more people are getting to know vanguard, I’ve been playing the og game for almost 5 years now, I’m just so happy it’s getting attention
also once you get 4 Gancelots he should always be your heal triggers since his in hand effect can send him back to the deck and you can recycle your heals so long as you have blaster blades in your deck
One thing is that clearing grade missions refills your stamina (if your stamina is already full, you get extra stamina) so clear grade missions (current grade ceiling is 30) to get stamina for character fights :)
I've had quite a bit of fun on this game so far. Got to level 12 pretty quickly and I've watched a few of different fight's videos so thank you for introducing me to him. Also thanks for the video.
Yes especially in it's early stages because you can grind out the gacha for the low rarity cards to craft higher up cards it's slow but I've been playing for a few days and I'm level 30 and I've maxed most of my non RRR cards
@@crono252 wow your so fast. Last week i struggle to beat the fking gouki with his stupid crit sack. And this week i'm struggling again to beat the mfking kyou!!! All my deck is shit
Here's my tip for beating Hard and V Hard. Keep in mind that only one of the missions requires you to beat them with the same clan. If you have a stronger clan, once you get that same clan star, you can play a different one to try and get the 4 damage or less condition. For example, I beat Very Hard Aichi and Misaki and Kai by building an Embodiment of Victory, Aleph deck with 9 crits, and used Blockade. By superior riding Aleph, I could set up a kill play by swinging with a 3 crit attack to win the game. Might still take a few tries, but it worked for me.
Coming from other TCGs like Magic and Hearthstone, I instantly fell in love with Oracle Think Tank and the card advantage it gains, so much draw, it's amazing. I'm super excited to grind out the crafting and boy is that something I never thought I'd say. I'm super excited to continue watching more Vanguard content!
OTT is useless atm. Since this is a rush free version of the game all clans that utalize hand advantage are actually at a disadvantage. Bermuda triangle and Ott are going to suffer badly with the hand limit dropped to 9 but Nubatama will most likely become the new meta. Atm you're better off playing with Kagero until Link Joker or Great Nature get put into the game
If u want to play OTT prioritise Silent Tom & Apollon. Tom is to end game, Apollon to draw & shuffle heal back to deck. Also play draw trigger to low minimum because OTT can draw just fine. Amaterasu will be rank reward after Overlord season.
Good news! In PVP, stand triggers are actually fairly potent. They're behind draws for most decks, but in decks that already have decent hand advantage and therefore get diminishing returns from draws, they're especially potent. Keep in mind you'll often have intercepts on your opponent's field to work against, and in decks like OTT, you don't have a clear and easy way to empty those out except attacking. So in a deck like OTT, it's easy to send your unboosted RG to their intercept, saving the boost, then use your other RG to attack the other intercept; then attack Vanguard and if you get a stand, since you kept the boost standing (if you didn't need to use it), you can restand and boost and attack again. Great Nature and Gold paladins, two upcoming clans, can also make good use of stands as well. Right now, it's true that Kagero and Royals don't get quite as much use out of them since they can clear intercepts without attacking, however.
They also do have ride chains in this game with aleph and chain dragon (both kagero). This is when a vanguard ability after riding into grade 2, allows you to immediately ride a grade 3. This causes you to ride a grade 3 after a grade 1
So a few things, One - Good tip with gems, you can refill your hard and very hard charafights for 50 gems. All you have to do is click quick fight on 0 fights left, and then the prompt will show up. Two - Stand triggers are actually useful depending on what your deck is. If you're running Kagero, and you have beserk, Overlord, and or Blockade, then you most likely won't need them, but for pretty much any other deck at the current moment, if your opponent has grade 2s, getting a stand trigger will allow you to do more then 1 damage for that turn. Three - Don't actually feel like you have to run 4 heals. In charafights it's recommended because that gets you down to 4 if you're at 5, and or it decreases your chances of getting higher then 4 damage. But since we're playing with a 40 card deck that gets subtracted by 6 or 7 (depending on if you go first or second) the likeliness of a heal is much more significant then it would be in the regular vanguard. I think the minimum you should do is at least 2-3, but I usually run 3 (when planning for less heals.) if I want to add more triggers.
I feel like stands have a lot less value in terms of dealing damage. But they aren't strictly terrible, because you can multi attack on your opponents units. In a game where you'll likely be attacking rear guards first anyway I feel like that's ok though it's definitely going to be best in nova grappler because they have other ways of standing units as well so you could restand a whole column for a potentially big swing at the vanguard after going through and taking out a front row unit to whittle your opponents hand cards down.
Also OTT. I run a draw- and stand-heavy deck with the 1-drop cat. I’m not worried about hitting the Vanguard three times every turn, because between the stands and draws and wearing down their rear guards, even one or two punches adds up. And if you have the oracle card as your vanguard you can recycle any heals you might have drawn.
I have some good news for you. OTT loves stand triggers. Since you are forced to attack intercepts you'll often have only 1 hit on vanguard, stand can turn this into 2 or 3 attacks.
ive been a big fan of vanguard since almost the begining of the actual TCG i've almost got good decks for all 4 clans within just 2 weeks. beating very hard and hard is relatively simple. make sure your heal triggers are always in your deck (like using gancealot to search blaster blade) also using as many perfect guards as possible. maxing out on draw triggers to dig for those perfect guards is clutch. overall just keep pressure on them and you can win in no time.
If you are struggling with very hard opponents in the character fight (or a tough story boss), use the grade 0 that lets you look of the top 5 of your deck (each clan has one). When you have an opportunity to use the skill do so, pay close attention to the 5 cards shown and their order (maybe take a screen shot). Then BEFORE going to battle phase quit out of the game and restart, you will see you skill did not activate but the cards you saw from using the skill remains unchanged. You can then manipulate which triggers u get (heals and crits) with drawing skills (there is a grade one I think for all clans that can draw and discard by resting it) or simply not attacking with your vanguard to get defensive triggers. The cons of this is that it is time consuming as if you want to check triggers each turn you will have to restart the game. Seeing the triggers doesn't mean you will win with 4 cards in damage or win at all, cause its still RNG in the end of the day. Finally you can argue that it takes away from the game cheating it in this way. The pros obviously you can clear the very hard duels with a higher likely hood (especially if you dont have strong cards yet). You can potentially save energy as opposed to just using auto battle.
Stand triggers are strong if you can afford to play down a full field and you opponent is at 4-5 damage. The thing about vanguard zero is that initial attacks dont necessarily require boosts, especially when going for their intercepts first. The trick is to attack without boosts first, get stand trigger(s), then attack with the boosts, which will counteract any defensives hopefully. Stand triggers are stronger at higher ranks than crits due to everyone having access to PGs(which greatly nerfs crits) and that stands bring in a factor of unpredictability, which is what can win a game.
I rerolled at least a dozen times and I not only got 6, in the end I got 8 RRR’s!!! Thank you for all the tips!!! Also if you haven’t yet watch the Vanguard Series it’s on TH-cam It’s English Dub!!! So good!!!
I've just been using 9 crit triggers and the rest in draw or heal depending on the situation. I feel like crit is the best since it can cheese wins, and I haven't seen many perfect guards in PvP yet
Sharima is layf 3 weeks ago when I commented that there weren’t many PGs because people didn’t get sentinel medals yet. Now pretty much everyone has them
Stand Triggers could be good for taking out intercepts. Use a not boosted rear guard to take out an intercept and when you flip a stand trigger, you can then use him boosted against the vanguard.
While draw triggers are all around better than any other for deck building, stands work really well in nova grappler. I ran 3 stand, 4 heal, 6 draw for a while when climbing ranked before going to 9 draw around c3. Stands help guarantee kill turns when they are at 4-5 damage, especially if they have a perfect guard.
Here is how I feel about stand triggers is that they are good in decks like nova grapplers where you have skills that you can use by resting it so if you can attack your opponents vanguard before attacking with your rear guards you need the stand triggers to stand your grade 1 power boosters to hit that 16,000 power and up to do more damage because if you tapped a 6000 booster for an effect then when you hit a stand trigger you can add 11,000 power to that column to swing for 21,000! Also I think stand triggers are important for helping to stand a rear guard unit you used to attack a grade 2 interceptor that you had to attack that you didn't need a boost to ko!
Stand Triggers are - (just) Okay - in Nova decks. Running with Golden Rutile with a back row that can't stand by itself gives a massive column boost. However, once you've gotten Asura Kaiser and Death Army Guy/Clay Soldiers, they become less important. Critical have the same inherent flaw (giving your opponent anywhere between 10k-20k extra power if they land, often completely nullifying any secondary attacks if you attack with a VG before a rear Guard), and get blocked with Perfect Guards at 3 damage instead of 5 damage (in which case, the Perfect guard has "blocked" 3 effective attacks instead of just 1). The Meta for top tier Legend Decks is 9 draws for a reason.
I played Vanguard since day 1 in 2012, and I can agree that CF0 definitely made Stand Triggers not as useful as they did in the past. Only time I really use Stands in any of my decks is so I can get Flogal onto the field via Barcgal’s skill to get the superior ride off, and even then, you only run 2 stands give-or-take.
Yesterday morning, I knew nothing about Vanguard but between your coverage and as a fan of Yu-gi-oh boss monsters, I'm set to take this plunge into a new gacha tcg with ya. Here's hoping the power creep won't be too awful this time 'round.
Im enjoy this game so much, as soon as i saw you playing vanguard zero i got so happy and i rerolled and got 5 RRR’s in 10 packs and all together from a reroll i got 9 RRR’s. I play with kagero aswell because blockade is so op as you bypass grade 2 enemy intercept. Its very aggro heavy.
Standard vanguard deck building you always run 4 of your perfect guard. You run 4 of your main G3,4 of your secondary G3, 4 of your main G2,and 4 of your secondary G2, you run 4 of your main G1 and 4 of your secondary G1 Then you will go after setting up your triggers depending on What your decks focus is you may want to have multiple critical triggers or multiple stand triggers. You will usually never run your draw triggers as they are not used however depending on your build you might need them. you will always run your 4 heal triggers cuz thats standard a total of 16 triggers makes the deck no more and no less. A Vanguard main deck from what I remember is about 60 cards including your starter. Unless its 40 not too sure on that. You may also want to run 2 each of a couple random grade 1 units and grade 2 units also make sure that one 4 set of grade 2 units get an ability when intercepting as in boost to the shield.
I'd still run on 4 perfect guards. Those things run as extra lives for a game with very limited universal defensive options. Especially in the late game.
I think that Stand triggers may have more value since Grade 2 Intercepts are forced, so late stage it's quite difficult to actually hit the opponent more than once a turn.
Please make more vanguard deck building please. You and I make these decks with the same method! I’d like more ideas. I don’t main anything yet still getting my footing on the game!
Stands are good in this game but you'll need to build full columns and only attack the rears unboosted first to fully take advantage of them. However, crits and draws are still better
you know, it's so weird to see you talking about vanguard on all of your video now, especially after having to know you as a pokemon streamer. i've been playing vanguard for a while and this is a first. Different fight, where is shady and what did you do with him XD love this and gotta get used to you talking about vanguard. also, autofights are your best friend
For me when I playing against the very hard fights I using cards that gave me numbers and I was running a lot of crits. Bc its hard to deal them damage in the later game running crits will deal the damage for you. I think I ran 7 crits when I attempted it. You will also need pgs preferably 2 if u can manage it. It took me I think 30 mins to get all objectives done
Honestly, with character fights it is best to play the Hard and Very Hard fights twice, once with your best clan to get the "6 Turns" and "4 or less" missions, then once more with the same clan as the character. For instance I had like a fully built kagero and not much else, so I beat all the very hard with Kagero and then focused on grinding the correct characters against each other. That way I wasn't focus on getting all three missions done at once.
Oh, and another thing... not sure who's suggesting Shady only run 3 PG's. I highly recommend running 4 PG's in ZERO, they are super important. But yeah, I don't recommend crafting them because of the Sentinel Medals. Also, I mentioned it in another comment but Stands can be useful for clans that can't deal with double intercepts very easily. If you can only deal 1 damage a turn, you're going to have a hard time. Stands allow you to punch the G2's and then get another hit in. You'll want to try and attack unboosted if possible so your booster can be there for the restand.
Stands have gained some power over crits tho since now PG's automatically blocks your tripple crit vanguard where stand triggers get around PG's and pokes one more time. Two unboosted rearguards to kill the intercepts. Then stand and boost them past and above 21k.
My advice the best in game triggers are the draw triggers must playes run more draw triggers than any trigger also all clans have 10k g2 and 8k g1 vanilas
9 RRRs? Here I thought I got lucky with 7, back to rerolls! Also thanks for this video, I watched the show long ago never played the game but love the art and really happy to see you playing another card game
Stand triggers are helping to hit rearguards more then to do damage, but in some decks they can be really helpful. With Oracle think tank I prefer stand triggers because of silent Tom, with critical you can trigger your opponent perfect guard faster but with silent Tom you want to move them as quickly as you can to have 5 damage because of his ability to not active perfect guard, making stand triggers better than critical for this strategy
for character fights on very hard first use the required deck. Then pick your best deck and kill them for the rest of the stars. I used kagero to do all my very hards 4 damage or less. very hard kai is by far the hardest so that one you really just need to pray for a heal.
Stands are okay in nova's 1 stand gives you another column stand because novas have 2 grade 3 that stands another rg one have to hit vg the other one can hit anyone actually they have a 3rd when you drive check a grade 3 so out of the 13 cards you can get 12 grade 3 that if you drive check a stand you get to stand a column
So in regards to stands you are right and wrong. Stands are the most aggressive trigger of the game, it allows you to swing at an intercept without boosting, hit the stand in the drives, stand the rear with the untapped booster behind it, then punch face. They work best with rears with on hit skills. Hope this helps!
Another thing is the Sentinels because like every time u are about the best him/her u get a 2 critical triggers and then next thing u know their sentinels come and then YOU don’t have any nor pull any heal triggers that happens to me every time so yea that’s another thing.
Still rerolling for at least 1 silent tom for OTT I got 1 tom and then no other RRR so no point in keeping that account now i'm 40+ rerolls later Still haven't seen another tom but i've seen 14 Overlords ;_;
stand triggers in this current meta arent very useful in any clan besides nova grappler if u are using asura kaiser. that combo is insane but in the other clans it’d be best to just use 8 or so crits because not everyone has too many perfect guards as of now
advice from a JP legend player: ALWAYS run 4 pg's ALMOST always 4 heals learn to keep track of triggers the strongest vanguards at this point are 11k, so the "sweet spots" are: 11k 16k 21k Etc.
Is building towards ng worth it or will it completely fall out of meta in a couple set release.. I pulled two Kaiser's my first 20. What's the best way to earn packs each week?
@@beasthaven1571 ng is quite good, blau's ( releasing in may) remain competitive for many months, even in LB era the best way to earn packs, probably vp farming, or honestly just playing ranked
i got very lucky on the hard and very hard fights for everyone except katsuragi since i havent started his. i got hit so many crit triggers early to pop their sentinels fast and sometimes i the match didnt last long enough and they didnt open a sentinel card. kagero are particulally busted in that you can go first and get your grade 3 units while your opponent is bearly riding to grade 2. pretty dumb actually
Rn, I’m stuck on Kamui hard. The only mission I have left is to win with only 4 damage. He constantly rushes you like crazy and triggers constantly pull to his Azura Kaizer. I’ll see if I can pull this off today.
Silver-Eon Thanks for letting me know. I scrolled down further and saw someone give tips for the hard/very hard fights. I ended up beating Kamui afterwards. Aichi and Misaki’s missions are all clear for me. Now I just need to complete the Very Hard missions for Kai and Kamui.
Can't you use stand triggers really well, if you can take out opponents intercept with just one rearguard without the boost and then stand that one to get an extra attack + boost in and still outpower the damage shield that the opponents vanguard got? New to the game so please correct me if wrong, but that's how i understood it o3o
Stands have had less value in vanguard lately during the g era they had to put crazy effects on them to make them worth playing, though draws in zero are probably more worth than ever since you need that added consistency to try and get those grade 2s and perfect guards
4 heals, 4 draws, 5 crit. Stand triggers weak as stated. The only time I play Stands is with Barcgal. Also, compared to the IRL game, even though we are down 3 triggers, the decks are 10 cards smaller, so you definitely see them more. Criticals feel arguably the second weakest if you’re using an on hit ability on your vanguard. Slowly climbing the ladder, only at C so far. Gold Rutile was a really easy build to get up. If you’re trying to immediately grind ladder, once you get 1 perfect guard for a clan, craft the rest when you can and just build a budget deck on it: Alfred Early, Gold Rutile, Aleph, Sakuya. Aleph is really good on a budget as being able to punch for two units with extra crits makes it super easy to end games. Currently trying to save for Blazing Flare as it, Overlord, Cosmo Lord, Gancelot and OTT in general are what will age the best from the current set in my opinion.
I.M.I Apollon is good, he is A LOT better here as you almost just get the draws. I do still like Sakuya as she reuses ETBs and gets a 4k boost. Silent Tom never stopped being a win con for OTT until the reboot and new Silent Tom is still a win con. If Zero releases cards in the exact order as the original game, Silent Tom technically ages the best.

If people are struggling with hard and very hard fights, here’s a few pieces of advice:
- run 9 crit/4 heal and as many PGs as possible
- Run cards that have abilities such as counterblast 1 to get +1k
- Try and put as many high power cards as possible for grade 1s 8000 or 7000, for grade 2 10000 or 9000 and for grade 3 11000 or 10000
- Auto fight with these tips and you should be able to get all the achievements within at least 2-8 attempts
Idrees25 Thanks so much. I just read this, followed your advice, and the AI beat Kamui on the first try and got the last mission done.

God I’m so glad so many more people are getting to know vanguard, I’ve been playing the og game for almost 5 years now, I’m just so happy it’s getting attention
I had a lot of fun rerolling my accounts. I'm super happy to pull about 8 RRR's. Now I need to start grinding and building decks
God I wish that was me
That’s actually crazy
I pulled 3 dragonic overlords day 1
lmao 8 RRRs congrats bro I'm still rerolling cuz somehow each roll turns out worse than the last somehow 🤣👌
Just like yugioh they have next generations as well that looks so familiar to yugioh

If you are struggling with very hard opponents in the character fight (or a tough story boss), use the grade 0 that lets you look of the top 5 of your deck (each clan has one). When you have an opportunity to use the skill do so, pay close attention to the 5 cards shown and their order (maybe take a screen shot). Then BEFORE going to battle phase quit out of the game and restart, you will see you skill did not activate but the cards you saw from using the skill remains unchanged. You can then manipulate which triggers u get (heals and crits) with drawing skills (there is a grade one I think for all clans that can draw and discard by resting it) or simply not attacking with your vanguard to get defensive triggers.
The cons of this is that it is time consuming as if you want to check triggers each turn you will have to restart the game. Seeing the triggers doesn't mean you will win with 4 cards in damage or win at all, cause its still RNG in the end of the day. Finally you can argue that it takes away from the game cheating it in this way.
The pros obviously you can clear the very hard duels with a higher likely hood (especially if you dont have strong cards yet). You can potentially save energy as opposed to just using auto battle.
Stand triggers are strong if you can afford to play down a full field and you opponent is at 4-5 damage. The thing about vanguard zero is that initial attacks dont necessarily require boosts, especially when going for their intercepts first. The trick is to attack without boosts first, get stand trigger(s), then attack with the boosts, which will counteract any defensives hopefully. Stand triggers are stronger at higher ranks than crits due to everyone having access to PGs(which greatly nerfs crits) and that stands bring in a factor of unpredictability, which is what can win a game.
Still need to actually get around to day 1 of this! XD
I rerolled at least a dozen times and I not only got 6, in the end I got 8 RRR’s!!! Thank you for all the tips!!! Also if you haven’t yet watch the Vanguard Series it’s on TH-cam It’s English Dub!!! So good!!!
I've just been using 9 crit triggers and the rest in draw or heal depending on the situation. I feel like crit is the best since it can cheese wins, and I haven't seen many perfect guards in PvP yet
When you get to about s or legend people will have 4 pgs
Sharima is layf 3 weeks ago when I commented that there weren’t many PGs because people didn’t get sentinel medals yet. Now pretty much everyone has them
Stand Triggers could be good for taking out intercepts. Use a not boosted rear guard to take out an intercept and when you flip a stand trigger, you can then use him boosted against the vanguard.
While draw triggers are all around better than any other for deck building, stands work really well in nova grappler. I ran 3 stand, 4 heal, 6 draw for a while when climbing ranked before going to 9 draw around c3. Stands help guarantee kill turns when they are at 4-5 damage, especially if they have a perfect guard.
Here is how I feel about stand triggers is that they are good in decks like nova grapplers where you have skills that you can use by resting it so if you can attack your opponents vanguard before attacking with your rear guards you need the stand triggers to stand your grade 1 power boosters to hit that 16,000 power and up to do more damage because if you tapped a 6000 booster for an effect then when you hit a stand trigger you can add 11,000 power to that column to swing for 21,000! Also I think stand triggers are important for helping to stand a rear guard unit you used to attack a grade 2 interceptor that you had to attack that you didn't need a boost to ko!
Stand Triggers are - (just) Okay - in Nova decks. Running with Golden Rutile with a back row that can't stand by itself gives a massive column boost. However, once you've gotten Asura Kaiser and Death Army Guy/Clay Soldiers, they become less important. Critical have the same inherent flaw (giving your opponent anywhere between 10k-20k extra power if they land, often completely nullifying any secondary attacks if you attack with a VG before a rear Guard), and get blocked with Perfect Guards at 3 damage instead of 5 damage (in which case, the Perfect guard has "blocked" 3 effective attacks instead of just 1).
The Meta for top tier Legend Decks is 9 draws for a reason.
I played Vanguard since day 1 in 2012, and I can agree that CF0 definitely made Stand Triggers not as useful as they did in the past. Only time I really use Stands in any of my decks is so I can get Flogal onto the field via Barcgal’s skill to get the superior ride off, and even then, you only run 2 stands give-or-take.
Yesterday morning, I knew nothing about Vanguard but between your coverage and as a fan of Yu-gi-oh boss monsters, I'm set to take this plunge into a new gacha tcg with ya. Here's hoping the power creep won't be too awful this time 'round.
Great video series! Excited to play once I understand the mechanics
You’re right about stand triggers! I personally like draw triggers the most even over crits!
Cristian Ruiz I dunno, I think stands are a pretty good counter to Sentinels. You can burn through them pretty easily.
Im enjoy this game so much, as soon as i saw you playing vanguard zero i got so happy and i rerolled and got 5 RRR’s in 10 packs and all together from a reroll i got 9 RRR’s. I play with kagero aswell because blockade is so op as you bypass grade 2 enemy intercept. Its very aggro heavy.
With the 4 damage or less mission for very hard tip Use Oracle Think Tank because lozenge magus is a 5th heal trigger which really helps
Seriously, this contents sooooo GREAT, nice video keep up uploading.XP
Standard vanguard deck building you always run 4 of your perfect guard.
You run 4 of your main G3,4 of your secondary G3, 4 of your main G2,and 4 of your secondary G2, you run 4 of your main G1 and 4 of your secondary G1
Then you will go after setting up your triggers depending on What your decks focus is you may want to have multiple critical triggers or multiple stand triggers. You will usually never run your draw triggers as they are not used however depending on your build you might need them. you will always run your 4 heal triggers cuz thats standard a total of 16 triggers makes the deck no more and no less. A Vanguard main deck from what I remember is about 60 cards including your starter. Unless its 40 not too sure on that. You may also want to run 2 each of a couple random grade 1 units and grade 2 units also make sure that one 4 set of grade 2 units get an ability when intercepting as in boost to the shield.
I'd still run on 4 perfect guards. Those things run as extra lives for a game with very limited universal defensive options. Especially in the late game.
Shady 2020. "That's black magic... and I want you to give me some." 🤣
I don`t know anything about Vanguard but the videos are still nice to watch :P
Let’s keep it Shaaaadyyyy ! Love that you jumped in this series bro ! Much love
Used Royals initially since I got 2 Gancelot and 5 PG(lowkey waiting for MLB). Switched to Kagero though because Blockade. :D Subscribed!
I think that Stand triggers may have more value since Grade 2 Intercepts are forced, so late stage it's quite difficult to actually hit the opponent more than once a turn.
I'm having a lot of fun with this game thx for recommending this
Please make more vanguard deck building please. You and I make these decks with the same method! I’d like more ideas. I don’t main anything yet still getting my footing on the game!
Stands are good in this game but you'll need to build full columns and only attack the rears unboosted first to fully take advantage of them. However, crits and draws are still better
you know, it's so weird to see you talking about vanguard on all of your video now, especially after having to know you as a pokemon streamer. i've been playing vanguard for a while and this is a first. Different fight, where is shady and what did you do with him XD love this and gotta get used to you talking about vanguard. also, autofights are your best friend
I don't know about my deck yet, but I pulled Blaster Blade in my first Gatcha roll.
For me when I playing against the very hard fights I using cards that gave me numbers and I was running a lot of crits. Bc its hard to deal them damage in the later game running crits will deal the damage for you. I think I ran 7 crits when I attempted it. You will also need pgs preferably 2 if u can manage it. It took me I think 30 mins to get all objectives done
Shady I used to watch you all the time but kind of fell off when you went on your first hiatus but I’m happy to see the penguin back
I been watching your content for awhile i always find my self repeating to my self "keep it shady"
Honestly, with character fights it is best to play the Hard and Very Hard fights twice, once with your best clan to get the "6 Turns" and "4 or less" missions, then once more with the same clan as the character. For instance I had like a fully built kagero and not much else, so I beat all the very hard with Kagero and then focused on grinding the correct characters against each other. That way I wasn't focus on getting all three missions done at once.
Newcomer to Vanguard...i learned about this game from you ! Still trying to figure out the activation effect for each card though 😂
Use Kagero best clan atm until Link Joker or Great Nature get put in.
Awesome Video as always Shady!
If you want 8k booster there are little sage Marron. You have it but didn't realize it.
Oh, and another thing... not sure who's suggesting Shady only run 3 PG's. I highly recommend running 4 PG's in ZERO, they are super important. But yeah, I don't recommend crafting them because of the Sentinel Medals.
Also, I mentioned it in another comment but Stands can be useful for clans that can't deal with double intercepts very easily. If you can only deal 1 damage a turn, you're going to have a hard time. Stands allow you to punch the G2's and then get another hit in. You'll want to try and attack unboosted if possible so your booster can be there for the restand.
Stands have gained some power over crits tho since now PG's automatically blocks your tripple crit vanguard where stand triggers get around PG's and pokes one more time.
Two unboosted rearguards to kill the intercepts. Then stand and boost them past and above 21k.
My advice the best in game triggers are the draw triggers must playes run more draw triggers than any trigger also all clans have 10k g2 and 8k g1 vanilas
I really hope when you stream this its EU friendly times :)
9 RRRs? Here I thought I got lucky with 7, back to rerolls! Also thanks for this video, I watched the show long ago never played the game but love the art and really happy to see you playing another card game
If anyone want to play royals at all
put heal triggers on Gancelot, so it will be put back into deck in the often case you draw it
Shady, when you were looking for 8k grade 1s, little sage maron
Stand triggers are helping to hit rearguards more then to do damage, but in some decks they can be really helpful. With Oracle think tank I prefer stand triggers because of silent Tom, with critical you can trigger your opponent perfect guard faster but with silent Tom you want to move them as quickly as you can to have 5 damage because of his ability to not active perfect guard, making stand triggers better than critical for this strategy
Man me being a noob and does not usually grind (-=)
Shadypenguinn being a pro (=
This game is awesome!
A
for character fights on very hard first use the required deck. Then pick your best deck and kill them for the rest of the stars. I used kagero to do all my very hards 4 damage or less. very hard kai is by far the hardest so that one you really just need to pray for a heal.
I recommend using 2 Toypugals as long as you have 2 g3
11k vanguards : Kagero (Overlord) and Nova (Asura Kaiser)
Another for the algorithm. Just trying to help shady!
stand triggers are more for nova grappler that most get more attk if the restand
Yes I’m a veteran vanguard player been playing since it came out (OTT SQUAD) and the character fights are unusually hard....
Stands are okay in nova's 1 stand gives you another column stand because novas have 2 grade 3 that stands another rg one have to hit vg the other one can hit anyone actually they have a 3rd when you drive check a grade 3 so out of the 13 cards you can get 12 grade 3 that if you drive check a stand you get to stand a column
So in regards to stands you are right and wrong. Stands are the most aggressive trigger of the game, it allows you to swing at an intercept without boosting, hit the stand in the drives, stand the rear with the untapped booster behind it, then punch face. They work best with rears with on hit skills. Hope this helps!
This does help a ton!
That trick is also really good for Nova's and any future aggressive punch face decks
I run gold paladins liberator deck,Narukami Eradicator deck,Nova grappler stern blaukuger deck,morukomo magatsu wind deck
Little sage maron is a grade 1 8k vanilla unit for Royal paladin
Can’t wait until they put The End and MLB in This game.
Are you going to showcase decks like Aleph Turbo for Kagero?
i actually finish 2 of the very hard one...Kagero and Royals....god it was so hard i burn myself out
My Kagero deck is ready to show you who the real blockade is
Another thing is the Sentinels because like every time u are about the best him/her u get a 2 critical triggers and then next thing u know their sentinels come and then YOU don’t have any nor pull any heal triggers that happens to me every time so yea that’s another thing.
Thank you ! Amazing game!!!
shady have u been playing ranked lately, if so what rank are u?
I'm still struggle with nova very hard
Great a TH-camr I still enjoy watching is a big fan of the game. Did (or still do) you play the card game and what decks did you run?
Trying to play ranked but it is saying that the resumed room was not founded. Loving the game but having trouble
Still rerolling for at least 1 silent tom for OTT
I got 1 tom and then no other RRR so no point in keeping that account now i'm 40+ rerolls later
Still haven't seen another tom but i've seen 14 Overlords ;_;
same I even had rolls with triple rares at all
stand triggers in this current meta arent very useful in any clan besides nova grappler if u are using asura kaiser. that combo is insane but in the other clans it’d be best to just use 8 or so crits because not everyone has too many perfect guards as of now
there are vanilla 8k grade 1s in every clan
advice from a JP legend player:
ALWAYS run 4 pg's
ALMOST always 4 heals
learn to keep track of triggers
the strongest vanguards at this point are 11k, so the "sweet spots" are:
11k
16k
21k
Etc.
Is building towards ng worth it or will it completely fall out of meta in a couple set release.. I pulled two Kaiser's my first 20. What's the best way to earn packs each week?
@@beasthaven1571 ng is quite good, blau's ( releasing in may) remain competitive for many months, even in LB era
the best way to earn packs, probably vp farming, or honestly just playing ranked
I already started playing the game and I’m now like level 17 on the campaign so can I still reroll idk how it quite works?
pls do tutorials on kagero decks
I am at legend 19 with blazing flare. 9 draw 4 heal lmao
i got very lucky on the hard and very hard fights for everyone except katsuragi since i havent started his. i got hit so many crit triggers early to pop their sentinels fast and sometimes i the match didnt last long enough and they didnt open a sentinel card. kagero are particulally busted in that you can go first and get your grade 3 units while your opponent is bearly riding to grade 2. pretty dumb actually
Rn, I’m stuck on Kamui hard. The only mission I have left is to win with only 4 damage. He constantly rushes you like crazy and triggers constantly pull to his Azura Kaizer. I’ll see if I can pull this off today.
Fel0246 just run 9 crit 4 heal and see how that goes
Silver-Eon Thanks for letting me know. I scrolled down further and saw someone give tips for the hard/very hard fights. I ended up beating Kamui afterwards. Aichi and Misaki’s missions are all clear for me. Now I just need to complete the Very Hard missions for Kai and Kamui.
Fel0246 no problem
Hope you and your family are safe, Shady.
Can't you use stand triggers really well, if you can take out opponents intercept with just one rearguard without the boost and then stand that one to get an extra attack + boost in and still outpower the damage shield that the opponents vanguard got? New to the game so please correct me if wrong, but that's how i understood it o3o
I keep running out of stamina and can’t find any other way other then gems to refill my stamina bar
Is there Aqua Force? I really love them!
Stands have had less value in vanguard lately during the g era they had to put crazy effects on them to make them worth playing, though draws in zero are probably more worth than ever since you need that added consistency to try and get those grade 2s and perfect guards
Shady after five rerolls I only got one triple r
4 heals, 4 draws, 5 crit. Stand triggers weak as stated. The only time I play Stands is with Barcgal. Also, compared to the IRL game, even though we are down 3 triggers, the decks are 10 cards smaller, so you definitely see them more. Criticals feel arguably the second weakest if you’re using an on hit ability on your vanguard.
Slowly climbing the ladder, only at C so far. Gold Rutile was a really easy build to get up. If you’re trying to immediately grind ladder, once you get 1 perfect guard for a clan, craft the rest when you can and just build a budget deck on it: Alfred Early, Gold Rutile, Aleph, Sakuya. Aleph is really good on a budget as being able to punch for two units with extra crits makes it super easy to end games.
Currently trying to save for Blazing Flare as it, Overlord, Cosmo Lord, Gancelot and OTT in general are what will age the best from the current set in my opinion.
I think for OTT Apollon is better than sakuya. It helped me many time by shuffle back heal trigger to deck. Also silent tom will age really well.
I.M.I Apollon is good, he is A LOT better here as you almost just get the draws. I do still like Sakuya as she reuses ETBs and gets a 4k boost. Silent Tom never stopped being a win con for OTT until the reboot and new Silent Tom is still a win con. If Zero releases cards in the exact order as the original game, Silent Tom technically ages the best.
@@red_spect3r833 in zero everything with on hit effect is really good. Am waiting for the blau limit break set that set will break the meta.
