Thoughts / Questions / Comments?

[Guest Ixigo]

A little late to the dance, so to speak, but oh well.

 

Fragile Core: So simple, yet so effective. It wouldn't make it in the anime, probably, since it's just so damn good. But a good idea for an actual TCG card when the Kikoutei get released.

 

Rule Core: Mneh. I don't really like the name you chose for that. Same goes for all the components, Ruuel just doesn't roll off the tongue.

 

I think Carrier may be a bit strong. I suggest making it be able to sacrifice itself to stop other Ruuel monsters from being destroyed by card effects. Ruuel Guard is also weird, doesn't it mean that your opponent can't attack you? Since you can just keep bringing this card out every turn.

 

The second set is much more interesting, I like your ideas there. Needing the Trap cards to be brought out makes them more balanced.

 

The wording on U5 is a little strange. Does it mean that you only pay 800 Life Points when you first flip the card up to activate it, and then can use it for free each turn? Or was this:

 

If this card is not activated by "Ruuel U5"

 

Supposed to be:

 

If this card is not activated by "Ruuel U3"

 

The third set of components is particularly nasty, but I like how they lose some of their old effects in favor of different ones, instead of a direct upgrade.

 

Not too sure about the whole fusion thing. It just doesn't seem that's how the Infinities work, they have one central monster that becomes stronger as its opponents are upgraded, not merge them all into one super-thingy.

 

I need some insight on how Limit Break works. Is it supposed to bring out more than one Kikoutei at a time? And protect them from being destroyed if one of them is destroyed? It's rather meh-ish either way, it's just that I can't see the Kikoutei being used together rather than individually. Well, maybe I'm wrong.

 

Reverse of Evolution and Future Barrier both seem rather counter-productive. You want your opponent to bring out Synchro monsters if you're using the Kikoutei. Heresy Brand is an excellent card. Though I suggest making it a Trap so that it becomes usable in Riding Duels, if you're thinking about keeping your cards anime-styled.

 

Ruuel Central is interesting. I like it.

[Umbra]

Since everyone in the anime has god-given first hands anyhow, Fragile Core wouldn't even be needed. >_>

 

Changed Guard and Carrier a bit. Heresy Brand is now a Trap.

 

And yes, I meant for U5 to work that way. Changed them, though.

 

Parts combining into something larger? That's what I read from the Kikoutei. I know it's somewhat irrational, but it's what I decided to do.

 

And yes, I meant for Limit Break to easily allow multiple Infinities to be out at the same time, while also supporting Supreme-Armor and giving them a bit more damage potential. From the effect we know, it's rather obvious that they will be used together eventually.

 

The point of the set was Anti-Synchro - the Kikoutei was simply a large part of it.

 

The next set will be Anti-Swarm By Swarm.

[Guest Ixigo]

Well, yeah.

 

Carrier and Guard are much better now, as is U5.

 

Yeah, about the parts thing, I meant that the point was that they remain individual monsters rather than combining via Synchro / Fusion / whatever. And as one part becomes stronger, so does the whole. Having a fusion for them is a bit counter-intuitive to the concept, the way I see it.

 

Do you mean the "and the total ATK of all other "Wisel", "Skiel", and "?" monsters you control." clause in the Infinity monster effects (as opposed to specifying their own parts)? Perhaps. I don't believe we have anything truly set-in-stone on those cards as well so it just might be an oversight / mistake or whatever. But if they're all used at the same time it'd be damn powerful, I mean each of them would have upwards of 6000+ attack, and that's just before any upgrades or Synchro absorptions.
