Hidden Hope – Take It To the Limit

Shop for these Singles and more at our TCG Player shop.

22-112R – Zach LB

Zach out first Limit Break card, and I can’t say it’s anything special.

Zach comes in and deals a Forward 3000 damage.

Not much of a Limit Break per se.

Zach will stick around on the field as a body, So, 3CP isn’t terrible, but I’m sure there are better things to do.

 

22-133L – Mont Leonis LB

Now, this is more like it.

Even though I never liked Mont as a character, this is a card I would play.

Now, this will only work if you have 5 Fire Backups on the field when you bring Mont in.

For 8CP, you can grab a 3cost Forward and a 5 cost Forward from your Break Zone and play them straight to the field. They will both come in with Haste as well.

It still is a lot to pay, but you do get a lot in value from it.

8CP, 3LB points, and a Backup that you control.

As a last ditch effort, I will say that it can work. I mean that’s what Limit Breaks are supposed to be. Huge attacks, when you’re on your last legs.

22-114H – Viktora LB

Not bad.

I guess I’ll need to actually play a game with these Limit Break cards. Finding time is the problem.

Viktora needs, a discard deck around her, and you don’t need me to tell you that.

Luckily, Ice has the tools you’ll need to make Viktora a great play. Just like a Dragoon getting ready to Jump.

If your opponent has 2 cards or less in there hand, when Viktora enters the field, you get to choose a Forward and deal it 7000 damage.

And, if your opponent has no cards, Viktora gains +3000 power.

Much better than Zack.

22-115R – Serjes LB

Serjes, the lancer.

Now this was a decent Character in War of the Visions.

And, that is what this card is as well. Decent. Not great, not bad.

When Serjes enters the field, you can either Dull or Freeze a Forward.

And, then he’ll stick around as an extra body on your front line.

 

22-116L – Ace LB

Ace is looking like he will be a powerful card. Once Ace enters the field, Ace deals 1000 damage to all of your opponents Forwards. Just think for a second of what Ace can do if you’re playing Chocobos.

And, that’s not all cause when Ace attacks, you can reveal the top card of your deck, and if it’s a Wind card, which it will be if you’re playing Chocobos, you’ll add it to your hand.

Sure, Ace costs 8CP, but you’ll probably get that CP back, with the extra cards you’ll be drawing.

22-117R – Yuri LB

Yuri comes right in, and searches for Chelinka and Yuri brings Chelinka straight to the field. That way we’re bringing Yuri’s cost down a little bit. Sure, there are only 2 Chelinkas that you can choose, because her cost needs to be 2CP or less.

You’ll most likely be playing Chelinka (22-046R), and if you have another Crystal Chronicles Character on the field, Chelinka will give Yuri Haste, and you’ll be able to attack with Yuri right away.

Las, but not least, if you have 5 Backups on the field, Yuri also gains +4000 power, making him an 8K body.

22-118H – Shantotto LB

Shantotto, going back to her roots.

Shantotto comes in and breaks all the Forwards and all the Monsters. Every last one of them except for Shantotto herself.

If you’re in a pickle, go ahead and cast this Mage. 4CP + 7LB. That’s all of the rest of the cards in your Limit Break deck. Last ditch effort to save yourself.

If you’re just looking to get rid of all of the Forwards, just play Opus I Shantotto instead.

Or you can have both in your deck and use whichever one works better for you.

22-119R – Maat LB

Maat comes right in and gives all of your Forwards +1000 power and Brave.

That might be enough to finish the game for you, and if you end up striking out, at least you’ll still have Forwards that will be able to block.

Maat comes in with Brave himself.

This is a Limit Break card that I would gladly add to my deck.

 

22-120H – Cloud LB

Of course, we have cloud in the first set of Limit Break cards, what’s next Lightning?

Cloud comes in and Breaks a Forward, 3CP or less. After that Cloud will stick around with an 8K body, wheeling and dealing damage to your opponent.

And if you’re feeling a little CP rich, you can use Limit Burst.

For 4 Lightning CP and a Cloud card, you can Break one of your opponent’s Forwards and also deal your opponent 1 point of damage as well.

Do that 7 times and you won the game.

It’s possible.

22-121R – Lightning LB

Well, I was right. Lightning was next.

And when she enters the field, she will look for a Lightning summon.

And that is about it.

You’d think they’d have Lightning do something better.

 

 

22-122L – Tidus LB

I’m trying to think if this is worth it.

If you don’t pay 3CP does that mean you can’t choose any of these effects?

8CP, to Send a Forward to the bottom of it’s owner’s deck, a Backup to the top of it’s owner’s deck and draw 2 cards.

I can’t think of a reason to play this card, but I know I’ve already sold a few of them, so someone thinks that it’s a good play.

 

22-123R – Leo LB

Would you like to draw a card?

Well there’s better ways to get yourself to draw a card than Leo.

Only difference is that you can play Leo at any moment, because you already know that you can just grab him from the Limit Break deck.

Still, Leo will probably just be used to pay for other Limit Breaks.

Like Maat.

22-124H – Little Leela LB

This is a better Limit Break card.

Better than most of the cards we’ve seen in this set.

Little Leela comes in at 5CP with an 8k body.

You’ll say so what, nothing special about that.

And, I’ll say yes, but whenever Little Leela attacks, you will choose one of your opponent’s Forward and it will lose 7000 power until the end of the turn.

Now that makes it better. Better than Leo, better than Zack, better than Yuri, and I hate to say it but, better than Lightning.

Krile – Card Analysis

Plenty of Kriles to choose from. Well not that many, but we do have 4 different ones.

Krile (3-078H)

2CP/6000
Earth
Forward
Mystic Knight
Hero

“Spellblade: Fira (S)(F): Deal 6000 damage to all the Forwards opponent controls.

Spellblade: Thundara (S)(L): Choose up to 2 damaged Forwards. Break them.”

With 6000 power and 2 abilities, this Krile wouldn’t be more than a Rare these days. Sure you can use both abilities in one turn, if you have the extra Kriles on hand to break a couple of your opponents Forwards.

If you have a hand full of Kriles, you can wipe out all of your opponents Forwards.

I mean, it could work.

Krile (7-068H)

4CP/8000
Earth
Forward
Warrior of Light
Hero

“The cost required to cast your Summons can be paid with CP of any Element.

When you cast a Summon, choose 1 Forward. It gains +1000 power until the end of the turn.

Discard 1 Summon: Until the end of the turn, Krile cannot be chosen by your opponent’s abilities.”

This Krile is great for a Summon based Earth deck. Allowing you to pay for all of your Summons with CP of any element. And, when you do cast a Summon, Krile gives a Forward +1000 power.

Krile also gains protection from your opponents abilities, when you discard a Summon.

Krile (12-061L)

2CP/5000
Earth
Forward
Warrior of Light
Legend

“When Krile enters the field, choose 1 Summon from either player’s Break Zone. You can cast it as though you owned it this turn. If you cast it, remove that Summon from the game after use instead of putting it in the Break Zone.

(1)(D): Choose 1 Summon from either player’s Break Zone. You can cast it as though you owned it this turn. If you cast it, remove that Summon from the game after use instead of putting it in the Break Zone.”

“Does your opponent have that Summon that you forgot to put in your deck, today? Well you can now cast it at will, if your opponent has placed said Summon n the Break Zone! Simply, Play Krile onto the field and grab that Summon to play it right away.

If Krile is already on the field, no worries, just pay the small cost of 1CP if Krile is active, and cast away that Summon like no tomorrow.”

That’s pretty much it. Summon Heavy, on both sides.

Krile EX (18-055R)

4CP
Earth
Backup
Warrior of Light
Rare

EX BURST When Krile enters the field, select 1 of the 2 following actions.

“Choose 1 Summon in your Break Zone. Add it to your hand.”

“Choose 1 Category V Forward in your Break Zone. Add it to your hand.”

I just wrote about this a couple of sets back, let’s see what it was.

“Just lost a card you need to the Break Zone?

Have no fear, Krile here will grab that card back. But, only if it’s a Summon or a Category V Forward.

If you’re playing Krile you’re probably already playing a FFV themed deck for the most part.

I had her in my Pre-Release event and did use her quite a bit.”

Well there you have it. I shall stand behind what I said when Resurgence of Power was first released.

Out of the 4 cards, there are 2 that I like. And, I must say the Legend isn’t one of them. I’m sure plenty of people will disagree with that.
