This is a great deck man. Personally, my Grade 3 lineup is gonna be 4 Valeos 2 Arsenal Fleet 2 Tetra-Drive, mainly because I like to have a failsafe after Megiddo, against 7Cs or other rush decks pushing me to LB4. Also it's a nostalgia thing too lol.

Overall it's not a bad deck list. I understand why you run the things that you run. That being said, I don't feel like you are using playing this deck to its fullest potential and that is easily pushing your opponent to 4-5 damage before first stride. Feel free to critique the deck as you wish but I have personally found that this list works out much better for me, as Aqua force has some of the best early game units in the game. Blue wave: SV: 2x Dagger master dracokid Triggers: 6x crit, 6x draw, 4x heal G1: 4x blue wave pg, 4x beragios, 2x cloris, 2x stride fodder, 2x bright shooter G2: 3x Tidal assault, 3x Medla, 4x foivos, 2x Galleas G3: 4x Valeos, 1x Arsenal Fleet, 1x Supreme ruler of the storm, thavas Stride deck: 2x Iohannes, 1x dizmel, 2x galfillia, 4x tetra boil, 4x flood hazard, 2x commander thavas, 1x meggido
@SolemnVanguard6 жыл бұрын
You can easily push your opponent to 4-5 early with your build if they don't check any defensives. And the value of Valeos' on-stride is completely nullified then since they won't be taking a lot of damage on your first stride turn. Any good opponent will attack your RGs before first stride and you'll be left with no pieces and the inability to call a full field+do flood hazard. You're also a sitting duck against overlords who ride 10k's (nullifying the value of your tidal assault) This is the reason why, in Japan, we see 20 Valeos decks like this entering a tourney and only 1 topping. (At least 1 is bound to have some god-like RNG... whilst the rest deal with typical VG variance and get destroyed by great players using great decks)

I'm starting to understand this deck a bit more now (I watched this video around 3 times because I couldn't wrap my head around not going all in no fear from the start) that being said after the testing I've done I definitely like lucianos more than the one that counter blasts AND discards. I'm finding it really hard to like the 8k as well. Resist is nice, attack from back row is nice, but I feel like I can do the same thing by just binding the pg. That being said i run 4 tidal 4 lucianos and 4 foivos. I have to do more testing I can see, because I do realize that everything in the deck is expensive to use more than twice. I'm too used to granblue and it's generally free costs for abilities.

Good deck profile and explaining your experience with the cards. You brought up a good point where this Valeos more focused build isn't as rush like in the early game. You want the CB for your first stride turn. Ideally 3 so you can use the BW starter to not minus. I was also sticking with 6 draw, hows it working with you? It's great to see a draw trigger go off early on.

You should drop 1 Nikki for 1 Arsenal Fleet, that way you're keeping the same amount of stride fodder except more of it is recyclable if necessary. Also, if you're using Beragios' 1st skill to search Valeos, you have an easier discard cost.

Blue wave's rush is stopped by 1 single defensive trigger. I will attempt to do it in a matchup where I desperately need it to win. But if not, I'll play very conservatively. I don't play Megiddo because I don't have him yet ;P Apart from that, you don't have the necessary CB all that often. Regardless, I'd probably run 1 once I get it.

@SolemnVanguard6 жыл бұрын
Valeos vs Chaos: you lose. End of story. Thavas vs Chaos: don't let them lock your starter. If you run mitros, don't call it out. If you run Bubble edge, push it back into soul on g2 even if its effect isn't used. Don't call fields early. Your sub-par rush won't finish them off and you don't want to start the actual game (post g3) with a locked board. Get on the new Thavas whatever it costs. (that back-row attack enabling is gonna be your best friend) Flip Galfilia with Alexandros 24/7 so you always have access to unlocking and don't rely on G guarding for it. Let Orthia, Shipra and Melania establish your board state. Yes, they will be able to lock some stuff regardless of resist, but you still ruin various of their plays by fucking them with the resist. Finally: Don't use Galfilia just because you can... Sure, unlocking a full board is fun and all, but if you can't win that turn and if that means you don't have access to her next turn, you're gonna be in a world of hurt. The Thavas vs Chaos match is a war of resources. You need to strategically get the momentum and do the full-on attacks with a fully unlocked board when your resources vs their resources can handle that. Keep in mind that Alexandros becomes more powerful the longer the game goes on. You're basically setting up for those sweet 3-5 end game 61k swings ;)

@ThaNinjew6 жыл бұрын
No, that isn't what it is saying. It is basically just saying that they can actually guard. Because they way guarding works is you at the shields power to the vanguard. If it didn't have that clause they would be stuck at 11k and could only ever perfect guard. It doesn't say anything about G-guards so no the dark irregular would not get around it.

Good deck list though did you miss showing a grade 1? Unless you only play 10 for some reason. All I saw was 4 Cloris, 4 PG, and 2 Abyssal Owl. Im guessing the other 4 would be nikki anyways. I personally only run 6 3s since you only have 1 good ride target, but 7 is fine.

I don't agree with your stance on G2s and the lineup. I tried Medla and she was almost always a dead draw. Any restander is a better option, which is why, like you said, Anger-boil no longer has space in the deck, so I run 4 Arsenal. Galleas is the new Foivos imo, in that he's a one-drop (technically two for his skill I guess) combo for Flood Hazard. You just have to be aware of what's in your hand and play accordingly to conserve or maximize attacks when you need to. The deck is very unlike Thavas where you can swing and get rewarded for reaching higher and higher waves. Your ability to attack and being able to restand your units is the objective AND reward and thus has a higher skill cap because misplays in this deck punish you more heavily than most other Aqua Force decks. You can't have non-restanders in that G2 lineup or else in that clutch moment you just shoot yourself in the foot because you fell short on attacks.
@SolemnVanguard6 жыл бұрын
- I disagree wholeheartedly. Medla is a great draw. She allows us to play more conservatively at times where we need that. Good opponents won't allow you to keep all the resources you need. - Galleas' discard hurts way too much imo and doesn't synergize with neither Foivos or Arsenal. In a deck where our first stride costs us 2 discards already, Galleas can be absolutely terrible. - The deck is indeed very unlike Thavas, but Thavas does not get rewarded for reaching higher waves. It's actually one of my peeves with Thavas. It promotes wave but doesn't give you any value for reaching an insane load of small pokes. The current version of Thavas doesn't even promote reaching waves beyond 4 in the slightest. Alexandros' power plays, loads of drawing and all the resist is what's keeping this deck alive now, not our ability to do a bunch of pokes. Meanwhile, Valeos actually rewards doing lots of pokes because defensive triggers no longer nullify those pokes. (which is exactly why Medla is so good on your first and second stride... as the game goes on and CB becomes harder to come by, she also gains some value) - The skill cap isn't higher than other AqF decks imo. We must be playing the deck VERY differently, because I don't find this thing challenging at all... After a solid 20 games, you know all your possible interactions by heart.
@ActualHumanMigz6 жыл бұрын
Solemn Vanguard how are you running out of CB? We're having opposite issues it sounds like. I can manage my CB even with the restanders. My issue first testing the deck was with dead cards that couldn't help me attack. It flowed a lot better when I took her out. And it's not like she's safe just because resist. Deluge can place over her, Defeat Flare can wipe the back row. Ultimately, it's just a matter of staying stocked up on hand for my build, which isn't hard to do often.
@SolemnVanguard6 жыл бұрын
All that draw comes late into the game... If I'm gonna sacrifice spots for Galleas, I will often have him at times where I didn't want him (aka: first stride)
