Strategy Guides

Post by jjthejetplane246 »

I made a couple strategy videos for KoTD that folks might enjoy, check them out here. Feel free to comment on them if you disagree/want to discuss more!

Both were solid videos.

I have a few nuanced differences for my card list but overall it's hard to strongly disagree with any of it. I would contest GG > BN on average. Iirc (I watched these videos days ago) that was the biggest difference of opinion we had.

The monster list I agree with for the most part but I still am taking Baby Gig over King in most match ups but I think it's a closer call than most are willing to admit.

The strategy videos were really helpful and entertaining. Well done.

Not sure if Unchained is trash though. Maybe situational. Played against Gigazaur and opponent got that card then proceeded to add buzz tokens on the fame track and kept pulling fame and occasionally pulled destruction to use a buzz token I placed against me and was able to activate the Unchained power 7 times. They kept claws and "!"s to smash and pull n' smash some more on their way to victory while I had to waste turns healing. So seems to be a card that pairs well with Gigazaur.

What’s GG or BN? Also what else would you add in terms of tips? Many thanks.

Gentle giant and Breaking News.

It's very hard to add anything specific as jj did a really good job covering general strat. Anything I can add would be very situation specific or nuanced.

I suppose off the top of my head something useful to know are all the ways to trigger Unstable DNA on yourself --- a useful tactic used to steal an opp's card, often a game changing/ winning card. Sometimes it's the only strategy to win a game. There are 4 ways to self trigger. I'll let you try and figure it out first :)

(Forgive me if jj covered this; been awhile since watching)
