Synchronized Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Just went undefeated at Locals the other day with this. Unfortunately, lost in Top 8, but #YOLO. - Monsters - [3] Elemental HERO Bubbleman [3] Elemental HERO Neos Alius [2] Thunder King Rai-Oh [1] Elemental HERO Stratos [1] Photon Thrasher [1] Honest [1] Silver Sentinel [3] Miracle Fusion [2] E - Emergency Call [2] Gemini Spark [2] Pot of Duality [2] Forbidden Lance [1] Heavy Storm [1] Dark Hole [1] Monster Reborn [1] The Warrior Returning Alive [1] Book of Moon [1] Super Polymerization [1] Xyz Unit [2] Solemn Warning [2] Bottomless Trap Hole [2] Mirror Force [1] Fiendish Chain [1] Solemn Judgment - Extra - [3] Elemental HERO The Shining [2] Elemental HERO Absolute Zero [1] Elemental HERO Nova Master [1] Elemental HERO Gaia [1] Elemental HERO Great Tornado [1] Elemental HERO Escuridao [2] Heroic Champion - Excalibur [1] Number 39: Utopia [1] Number C39: Utopia Ray [1] Blade Armor Ninja [1] Photon Papilloperative [1] Maestroke the Symphony Djinn I've expressed my thoughts on Xyz Unit before, and it continues to prove extremely useful. Silver Sentinel is hilarious as hell, and makes the funniest plays while generating +'s, especially because people love to blind MST. So, yeah, it's testing really well and I think if anything, Excalibur is the final boost that Heroes needed to really get that top tier status.

b0b3rt Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Interesting build, though I'm not sure how well it qualifies for "Bubblebeat" since it runs 12 monsters. That said, a few concerns: How do Thrasher/Honest run? How well does Mirror Force work over Torrential? Other than that, seems good. Xyz Unit seems like an interesting tech, putting Blade Armor to 3000 and Utopia to 3300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 The monster lineup makes me think you're going to regularly open 3 monsters. That's not good for Bubblebeat. I also question Warrior Returning Alive and Xyz Unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0b3rt Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I agree that you'd probably open up Monster-heavy a lot of the time, but I think the idea is to slow the opponent down with Rai-oh and clear their backrow with Alius/Spark then ZERGRUSH. Still, personally a bit iffy on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What's backrow? I play Alive Hero. But seriously, as far as Bubblebeat is concerned, you should be exploding almost every chance you get. Stratos itself is automatically an Xyz, and with people running less veiler this format, he'll be much more destructive game 1. Heros are aggressive. Like Will Smith in Hancock. Smash them first, fast, and often. Having a high monster count can make that difficult, in actuality. Especially when Rai-Oh holds down Stratos. Rai-Oh is more of a Hero Beat type guy, along with Honest. They're not really used in Bubblebeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0b3rt Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Honestly, I agree. Thrasher and Sentinel work because they don't clog the hand if you draw them turn 1. Warrior Returning lets you make another easy Stratos play (or a Bubbleman play). Monster Reborn is obviously better, but it has its uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've OTK'd opening with Thrasher, Stratos, and RotA/WRA, etc. Honest can be slow, but has won me too many games for me to take it out. I'm running 2 Mirror Force and 2 Torrential Tribute, I just forgot to list the second one.

b0b3rt Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I tested out Xyz Unit yesterday at a small locals. Drew it once, sided it out every time game two and three because consistency. Completely unimpressed, as a win-more card it's not terrible but apart from that seems rather useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerion Brightflame Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 You have a 16 card extra.... Is excalabur meant to be at 1 not 2? Unit does seem a quite intresting tech... but... Mind control maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
