Hidden Hope – Flooding Hope

Shop these Singles and more at our TCG Player store.

22-091C – Blue Mage

2 cost Backup that let’s you switch out a Monster for the top card of your deck.

And, if you don’t like that card that you drew, you can always, pay a CP, discard that card, and put Blue Mage in the Break Zone, to play that Monster that you discard earlier onto the field.

Yes, the card that you discard, needs to be a Water card.

Or, you can just use that ability to grab a Monster, that you ran out of.

more, like a Backup, Backup plan.

22-092C – Agrias

You can’t go wrong with 1CP.

Not this time. Agrias comes on in and if you have a Couple of Knights on the field you get to send one of your opponent’s Forwards that cost 3CP or less back to their hand. Making them pay the CP once again to get that card out.

And when you have received 3 points of damage, Agrias gains 4000 power, making her a 7k body that you paid for with 1 whole Crystal Point.

I’d say the only thing wrong with this card is that the cards name is Agrias.

22-093R – Anima (X)

Easy way to get rid of one of your opponent’s Forwards, Anima comes in and you remove the Forward from the game. No certain cost, no active, no dull it doesn’t matter. Any forward will do. And for 3CP that is a steal.

But, you’ll also have your opponent draw a card.

And if you only paid with Backups, you’ll also get to draw a card.

I think I’m on the fence with this one.

Some might like this one, some might not. Let’s see what happens.

22-094C – Vaan

Pirates and Vikings just keep getting stronger.

Vaan here, is just a Common, but adds quite a punch, or should we say blast. A Shotgun Blast.

For 2CP, and a couple more Pirates that are already on the field, you get to choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and reduce their power by 8000. Usually that is more than enough to break a Forward.

If it’s not enough, well it’ll be close to enough.

Can’t go wrong with this one. 2CP with 5000 power.

I have yet to play with the Pirates, but it is on my to-do list.

I just need to find the time to do it.

22-095H – Warrior of Light

Warrior of Light, 4 cost Hero that allows you to search for a Standard Unit.

And, then you will play that Standard Unit, and another 3 Standard Units, and you shall find that all of your Forwards gain +2000 power, except Warrior of Light. Add in a bunch of Backups and Forwards that will buff up your Standard Units, and you’ll be running an army of Standard Forwards that will take out anybody and anyone out. Send them straight to the Break Zone.

And, Shield of Light. If all else fails, you can give +5000 power to Warrior of Light giving him a 13,000 body.

Bring in the Drones!

22-096C – Clavat

Last of the 1 0f 6 Backups that are in every element.

Top card, take a look, leave or put it at the bottom of your deck.

They should have renamed these cards Fortune Teller. Or have had Cait Sith. Or Yuna, Rikku and Paine in their Psychic dress-sphere.

I don’t know just trying to take up space here.

 

22-097L – Curilla

This is the card that everybody wanted to try out. Hidden Hope came out and well let’s take a look at it. It’s only been a month or two before we got to it.

Well as you can see from the first line, there is a good reason that Knights are becoming a force to be reckoned with. I just took a look at a recent Qualifier, and Curilla was in 3 of the top 8 decks.

Curilla come in and you can take a look at the top 5 cards of your deck and play 2 Knights onto the field as long as their combined cost is 4CP or less.

And as long as Curilla is on the field, she also gives protection to all Knights from damage that is less than their power. Making Ping damage worthless against your Knights.

But, then again you can always just play Minwu (1-171H) and get the same effect, but for all of your Forwards, not just the Knights.

Imagine that?

22-098H – Siren (V)

“Are you a Gamblin’ man, Sandy?”

If so, you can save your Forwards, if they are chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities. Simply Wager the top card of your deck, if it’s not a Forward your Forwards are saved. If it is, you lose that top card.

Clavat, is a good way to determine if you should use the ability.

And, at 3 points of damage, whenever Siren is dealt damage,you can reduce that damage by 1000.

I’d say this is worth a shot.

22-099R – Severo

A 3 cost Backup that will return one of your opponent’s Forwards back to their hand, and Severo will also give you a Crystal for your troubles.

After that Severo just hangs out on the field, producing 1CP per turn as a Backup.

And, if needed you can pay the cost of 3 Water CP, 2CP of any color, dull Severo and put him in the Break Zone to place a Forward of your choosing back at the bottom of it’s owner’s deck.

Seems like a high cost for this, but it might be helpful.

22-100R – Chime

If you got the Backups for this, Chime is a great play.

Draw a card at the end of each of your turns, will help your turns become that much better.

Chime should be the 5th Backup you play as to get a better return with her.

No need to have Chime on the field if you don’t have 5 Backups, as the only reason to play Chime will be to draw that extra card at the end of the turn.

Your board should get bigger than your opponent’s and faster than your opponent’s board.

I’ll take it, I’ll take 3 actually and play it in a Ultros/Pirates deck with a handful of Vikings.

22-101C – Paladin

Now that’s a Standard Unit I can stand behind. The Paladin, a great meat shield if you ask me. And, this meat shield also has a shield.

For 5CP, you get a Forward with Brave and a 7K body, that grabs a 2 cost Forward from the Break Zone and plays it onto the field.

It’s 2 for the price of one.

Yes, you need a couple of Standard Unit Backups on the field for you to be able to use this ability, but that shouldn’t be that hard to do.

22-102C – Piranha

For the price of a Piranha, I shall grant you a card.

Sure, you’ll need 3 points of damage.

Sure, you’ll also need to put Piranha in to the Break Zone.

But, at the end of the day, Piranha shall double the CP used to pay for it.

And, when Piranha enters the field, you will choose a Forward and have it lose 2000 power.

It’s 1CP, it’s worth a shot.

22-103C – Faris

I don’t know if you’d play this Faris over the other Faris, but you can easily break one of your opponent’s Forwards, while drawing a card at the same time.

How do you do that?

It’s quite simple really.

You’ll play Faris, and you’ll choose to remove a Viking, either Viking (2-132C) or Viking (4-133C). Once that Viking is removed, your opponent will choose one of their Forwards and put them in the Break Zone, while you get to draw a card once your Viking leaves the field.

22-104R – Folka

We’re looking at 3 points of damage. Anything less and I’d say it wouldn’t be worth it to play Folka.

Well you could, or you can just remove Folka from the game, and your opponent will only be able to attack once this turn.
Now at 3 points of damage, like we said earlier, Folka becomes nearly unstoppable, when you are on the attacking side. In other words, during your turn.

Folka can’t be chosen by Summons or abilities, and if she is dealt damage, it becomes 0.

All this for 3CP.

You can try throwing a couple into your deck, if you got room for it.

22-105H – Miwa

Coming in with the Back Attack, Miwa is a safety net when you have Summons and abilities that will attack your whole front line.

And, at 5 points of Damage, Miwa will also give all of your Forwards a +2000 power buff.

And at only 2CP, you can not go wrong with that. Just throw in Miwa into any Water deck. If you have no room in your deck, well then you better make some room.

She’ll stick around as a 5k body, where you can just have her block to break herself, and then play another Miwa during your opponents next turn.

22-106R – Yuna

This card is actually called the Tidus Best Bang for your CP special.

We’ll go with the Tidus (16-116L), popular card, and a lot of people should still be playing it, because I don’t see why you wouldn’t.

Let’s start out by playing Yuna onto the field for 2CP, produced by a Water Summon. Then we’ll play Tidus for 1CP, and grab that Water Summon from the Break Zone.

For 1CP, you have 2 Forwards on the field, one of which can not be blocked and extremely hard to break.

I’m sure there are better Yunas to play, but if you’re just looking for a cheaper Tidus, look no further.

22-107C – Yuni

Sap!

Cast Sap! or Attack Down or both.

Yuni can do that for you. And the effects will last just until the end of the turn. It’s 4000 power when Yuni comes in, and 2000 power every time Yuni dulls to cast her ability.

3CP/7k body, Not much else is going on here.

 

22-108H – Lenna

Warrior of Lights … Warriors of Light Unite!

If you ever needed a reason to play Warrior of Light (19-128L), well this isn’t it, but Lenna will help. A little.

If you have to elements already on the field, Lenna will allow you to draw a card when she enters.

And, if you have 4 different elements, Lenna will cause your opponent to place one of his Forwards into the Break Zone.

I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom.

There is no reason to play Lenna in a Mono-Water deck.

Hidden Trials

We have just received word of a new set coming out.

Opus XXIII, Opus 23 or Hidden Trials. Call it whatever you’d like.
And we are excited!

Lightning graces the Booster Box with original artwork. And it sure is looking good. We can already guess on which card will have the Golden Signat … wait, … I don’t believe there is a Golden Signature. It just mentions a Special Card with an original illustration. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

We do get to see some of the cards, and I can tell you Lightning and Queen just look amazing.

We’re getting a new Tyro as well. This time Tyro is representing Wind, we’ll see how well he does in his new element. It also mentions that Final Fantasy Record Keeper will be a “Featured Title” so, I’m expecting at the very least a bunch of Record Keeper Standard Units, and Maybe just maybe, we’ll get the pixel art cards I’ve been wanting for a long, long time. You heard it here first. January, 11th 2024.

Legacy cards are back. Lightning (15-041L), Rydia (15-083L) and Refia (19-102L). I don’t get why they are just grabbing cards from newer sets, I believe that since they are named Legacy cards they should have come from older sets. At least 10 sets.

But, what do I know.

And with that I’ll just leave the press release here.

Hidden Trials will elevate the ‘Limit Break’ mechanic to new heights thanks to custom-themed cards that can turn the tide of battle, revolutionising the deck-building experience for players.

For the collectors, this Opus will include a very rare, Special Card [23-037R] showcasing an original illustration of FINAL FANTASY XIII Lightning by Miki Yamashita. Additionally, three beloved Legacy cards, Lightning [15-041L], Rydia [15-083L], and Refia [19-102L], are included.

As per tradition, renowned artists have contributed stunning new art pieces to bring the characters to life:

■ New Art

Rubi Asami, FINAL FANTASY VI / FINAL FANTASY XIII-2

Mihoko Ishii, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE

Yuya Ishihata, FINAL FANTASY IX

Ryoma Ito, FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift

Yukihiro Kajimoto, FINAL FANTASY

Gen Kobayashi, DIRGE OF CERBERUS –FINAL FANTASY VII–

Sara Shimokobe, FINAL FANTASY IV

21-101C – Ashe

OK, Yes, I’ll take it.

What’s not to like? Every time Ashe attacks you draw a card.

I’ll throw Ashe in any deck, just to draw a card when she attacks. Especially with 8000 power. Throw in Wakka (1-180R) and Ashe will have +1K power to keep your opponent on their toes.

And, that’s about it. Simple yet effective … In helping you draw cards.

21-102L – Gau

I won’t say it this time.

The WASP Super fan is here once again, and he is perfect for your Monster deck. I might even put Gau in the Bomb deck I’m going to be building shortly.

Gau’s cost comes down for every Monster that you have on the field. Meaning, you don’t even need to have any Water CP, as long as you have 5 Monsters on the field. Should be simple enough. Especially if you have a swarm of Bombs ready to blow. You’ll just play Gau before they all explode.

Plus, when Gau enters the field you can send one of your opponent’s Forwards to the bottom of their deck, as long as their CP, is equal to, or less than the number of Bombs, … I mean Monsters you control.

Gau can also turn a Monster into a Forward with 8000 power.

It’s at the tip of my tongue, Gimme a Mic!

“I’m a Wild Chi ….”

I’ll stop.

21-103R – Kraken

Is it worth playing Kraken for 5CP?

If you’re playing Mono-Water, probably. If not then I might skip this.

You do draw a card when Kraken enters the field, so technically you’re just paying 3CP for Kraken.

Other than that if you have 7 Water Characters on the field, a Forward of your choosing loses 10,000 power.

This might be worth playing in a Viking deck.

21-104C – Sage

What’s not to like? Sage is a Standard Unit that can Activate a Character once per turn. You can also have three of these on the field at the same time.

Think about this.

You have a Character on the field that deals damage to all of your opponents Forwards. But, you have to dull that Character, cause that’s how most abilities work.

After that you can Activate that Character with Sage, and do it all over again.

And, again.

And, again.

And, one more time, but you can’t activate that Character this time.

That’s 1 ability going off 4 times in one turn.

I’ll take 3. Yes, please.

21-105C – Sahagin

Here we have a great addition to any deck that has Gau.

Especially since Sahagin is a 1CP Monster that will return a Forward to your opponent’s hand. Sure, this Forward, must cost 3CP or less, but with Gau’s help, this Monster can turn into a noble Forward that will happily protect you and your party of Forwards that lead themselves into the hands of your opponent’s party, that have one objective, which is to deal you 7 points of damage.

And, if that doesn’t work out, you can always send Sahagin into the Break Zone to return any Forward to their owner’s hand.

21-106H – Jed

That is not what Samurais look like. And, not even Tenzen can help Jed.

I mean sure Jed’s first ability is decent. Reducing the damage dealt to your Water or SOPFFO Forwards by 1000, but other than that I don’t really see a reason to play Jed.

And whenever I say that, somehow someone will figure out a way to play Jed and make him viable.

All Jed needs is a mustache and glasses.

I’ll lave Jed Flanders alone for now.


21-107R – Springserpent General Mihli Aliapoh

You can get Springserpent General Mihli Vanilli, i mean Aliapoh, down to 2CP if you got a couple of Water Characters on the field.

And, when Mihli Aliapoh is put into the Break Zone, you draw 1 card, thus making the Serpent General a free play when she comes full circle.

And if you have a couple of dull Characters on the field. Mihli here will activate them and give them +1000 power.
Not a bad card. Especially since this can turn into a free play.

21-108R – Ceodore

Little Prince Ceodore.

This is probably the best Ceodore yet. And, I like it.

Why?

Because, Ceodore will give all of the FFIV Forwards +1000 power. Sure, you’ll need Rosa or Cecil on the field to give your Forwards that boost, but then again, you won’t be playing Ceodore without Rosa or Cecil in the first hand.

And if Rosa or Cecil is already on the field, you can spend a Crystal instead of paying 4CP to play Ceodore onto the field.
I see a Wind/Water IV deck coming along nicely.

21-109C – Astrologian

And, you thought Astrology was fake.

This Astrologian, can actually see into the future, and you can change it however you’d like.

Simply put, Astrologian comes out, reads the stars, and as you look at the top 3 cards of your deck, you can add one to your hand. And place the other two at the top and bottom of your deck. Allowing you to place a perfectly good EX Burst at the top of your deck, as you real in your opponent to attack you for a point of damage.

And, if you get tired of Astrologian after this, you can always send her to the Break Zone, and draw a card for your troubles.
I’ll be giving this one a try.


21-110C – Desch

If you really want to play this card, you should play it right after you played Sahagin.

Because other than playing a 9000 body for 2CP, I really don’t see a reason to be playing Desch.

Unless you find the portrait art good, and you want Desch to stare down your opponent, as he tries to intimidate them into playing the wrong cards at the wrong time.

Yeah, that’s about it.


21-111C – Paladin

Water Elemental Backup here.

If you need that Crystal to play Ceodore, Paladin is here to help you.

Other than that, if you play Paladin early on, you can draw a card if there are 3 Backups or less on the field.

And, that concludes Paladin.

 

21-112C – Ninja

It’s been a while since we’ve had a Character with Back Attack.

And we have a nice little Combo here.

First off play Paladin, gain the Crystal.

Use that Crystal to help pay for Ninja, return a Forward to your opponent’s hand.

Play Desch for 2CP.

Yeah, it’s not the greatest.

21-113R – Bikke

Here is a free card for you.

If you have a couple of Pirates, and/or Vikings, Bikke comes in at no extra charge.

0CP for an 8K body.

Plus, he grants protection from your opponent’s abilities to all of your Vikings and Pirates. Named Pirates. Although I can’t think of a Pirate Standard Unit. We might be getting some in the upcoming sets.

It looks like we’re finally getting our Pirates/Vikings deck that most of us have been thinking about since Leila (6-126R).

21-114L – Faris

And, this is the other reason Pirate/Vikings will become a thing.

Imagine swarming the board with Vikings, and all of those Vikings now have 8000 power. You’ll be getting a board full of Meat Shields. As long as those Vikings keep coming, you’ll be drawing cards left and right, and you’ll have plenty of CP to play more Vikings.

Faris can also redirect a Summon or ability choosing her, to one of her sacrificial lambs, just waiting to get knocked out, by Ramuh or any other ability that may come her way.

And that covers it all.

I’ll take 3. Preferably foil.


21-115C – Larsa

Larsa comes in a searches for a high cost Forward.

There’s some use here.

But, I prefer the cards that search for any Forward regardless of cost. Sure there’s not that many, but sometimes cards like Larsa help.

End of the day, Larsa will technically cost you 2CP.

 

21-116H – Leviathan

Umm, .. .

I thought this one would have been better. I mean, it’s not bad, but when you hear Leviathan you just kind of expect more.
If you decide to play Leviathan during your turn, you’ll end up paying 2CP less out of the 6CP it costs to Summon Leviathan.
Leviathan, comes in and grabs a Forward and puts them at the bottom of their owner’s deck. That means you can choose one of your Forwards, if they’re being targeted by Summons or abilities.

After that, you can play a 2 cost Forward from your hand onto the field.

If this cost 4CP, instead of 6CP, where if you play it on your turn for 2CP it would have been great. Still there is some use here.

21-117R – Rhus

Yes, maybe, probably.

Rhus costs 6CP, but it’s actually 4CP. Unless it’s the first turn and you went first.

Rhus’s cost comes down for every card that you drew this turn. If you play your cards right you can play Rhus for 1CP. Shouldn’t be that hard with Vikings.

What’s great about Rhus is that you can discard a card, remove Rhus from the game, and then play Rhus back onto the field at the end of the turn.

You probably won’t need to really use that ability, as Rhus already comes equipped with a 9K body, but if you do, you know that you have a Backup plan.

I like this one. I’ll be trying this one out.

21-118H – Leila

This is a hard one. Which one do we keep?

Opus VI Leila or this one?

We already what Opus VI Leila does, so let’s take a look at this one.

Leila enters the field and you can search for a Viking, or a Pirate and add it to your hand. Giving Leila a total cost of 1CP.

After that whenever one of your Water Forwards attack, you can sap 1000 power from one of your opponent’s Forwards. And if you have enough Water Forwards, which you should, especially with Faris and Bikke, and a handful of Vikings, you should be able to Break a Forward per turn.

This one is a much stronger Leila, but grabbing and playing a Viking from the Break Zone and drawing a card is also good.
Maybe have both of them in a deck.

21-119H – Lenna EX

How is that an EX Burst?

Because it is, all you do is draw a card when Lenna enters the field. So, this 2 cost Lenna is actually a free play. And, we like it.

After that, Lenna has a great ability that doesn’t require you to send Lenna into the Break Zone. And, that is something that we don’t see too often. But, with an ability name like “Raise”, what would you expect? Lenna brings back a low cost Forward from the Break Zone.

It’s always good to carry a Phoenix down.

21-120R – Refia

Introducing your WoFF Reanimator.

Refia enters the field, grabs a WoFF Forward of 4CP or less from the Break Zone, and play them straight to the field. Kind of like Opus VI Leila.

I believe WoFF will be making a comeback. With all these WoFF cards we got this set, some of them are bound to be good.
Once Refia is on the field, and you already got the extra WoFF Forward on the field from the Break Zone, you will be able to dull and pitch Refia to the Break Zone, and reduce damage done to one of your Forwards by 3000.

I see Refia being a staple in future WoFF decks.

Guardians of the Summoner

You already know we’re going to build a FFX Deck with Yuna & Tidus, and the rest of the gang. So, lets get to it.

Starting off with Wakka (16-138S), because that is the best one to try and build around. If it was any other FFX Character we might have gone with the Opus 18 Wakka. But, today it’s Emissaries of Light Wakka. We can probably just grab the Custom Starter Set and call it a day. But, where’s the fun in that?

Since we’re grabbing Lulu (16-135S) first, it looks like that is what we’re doing. But, I promise you we’re not. Lulu will grab a Yuna from the Break Zone, which brings us to our next card.

Yuna (20-117L), I went on a rant when this card was first shown, and nothing has changed. We’re going to use this Yuna. And, fill up on Summons. We’ll grab those Summons later.

Tidus (16-116L), you can’t go wrong with this Tidus, and if you have 3 of them they’ll usually just come right back in your hand. You’ll always attack, and you know it’ll go through because Tidus can’t be blocked.

Kimahri (7-108H), Sure he might be a 6 cost Forward but you can get that cost down to 2, and possibly even one. Just depends on if you want to play Jecht or not. And, we do just to play a cheap Kimahri.

Jecht (20-011R) just so we can break Jecht in order to play Braska’s Final Aeon (11-015L).

And, if we have Braska’s Final Aeon we need Braska (7-121C) as well. No point in having one and not the other.

We need to add our Backups now. Class Fourth Moogle (10-121C), to give us some Fire CP.

Maria (1-083H) to give all of our Forwards a +1000 buff.

Rikku(2-071R), we would have gone with the Emissaries of Light Starter, but we need Backups.

White Mage (8-117C) so we can Activate all of our Forwards if we need to.

Let’s add Yuna (12-105L), doesn’t matter which Yuna you grab, because she’s just fodder for Holy.

All we need next is to fill up on Summons, to give Holy a bite.

Valefor (1-198S), Leviathan (2-140C), Syldra (3-135H), Amaterasu (12-002H), and Sylph (9-047C). You can also choose whichever Summons you like as well, as they are just used to make Holy more Powerful.

Forwards

3x – Wakka (16-138S)
3x – Tidus (16-116L)
3x – Lulu (16-135S)
3x – Jecht (20-011R)
3x – Yuna (20-117L)
3x – Kimahri (7-108H)
3x – Braska’s Final Aeon (11-015L)

Backups

3x – Rikku (2-071R)
3x – White Mage (8-117C)
3x – Class Fourth Moogle (10-121C)
3x – Braska (7-121C)
3x – Maria (1-083H)

Summons

3x – Leviathan (2-140C)
2x – Sylph (9-047C)
3x – Valefor (1-198S)
3x – Amaterasu (12-002H)
3x – Syldra (3-135H)

What would you change?

Retired Blitzball Player

Wakka (1-180R)

3CP/Water
Backup
Blitzballer
Rare

“The Water Forwards you control gain +1000 power.”

I like these cards that buff you elemental Forwards by +1K. 90% of the time, if I’m building a deck, these cards are in there. At least one copy.

But, preferably 3.

Wakka (1-216S)

4CP/Water
Forward
Blitzballer
Starter

“When Wakka attacks, choose 1 Forward you control. Until the end of the turn, it gains +1000 power for each Forward you control.

Status Reels (S)(Wa): Choose 1 Forward. Until the end of the turn, it loses all its abilities and its power becomes 1000.”
Attack and Buff at the same time.

And, this one isn’t just a measly +1000 power, not saying that +1000 isn’t good, it’s +1000 power for each Forward you control. So you can take that Tidus (1-163L) and buff him by as many Forwards times two. And, if you have your back up against the wall, Tidus will do what he’s supposed to with Blitz Ace.

But, wait I thought we were talking about Wakka.

Wakka (7-126C)

2CP/Water
Backup
Guardian
Common

“(D): Choose 1 Category X Forward you control. It gains +1000 power until the end of the turn.”

Compared to the other Wakka’s this one just isn’t cutting it.

I wouldn’t use this one, when you have so many other choices.

Wakka (16-138S)

2CP/Water
Forward
Guardian
Starter

“You can remove 3 Reel Counters from Wakka to use Wakka’s special ability without paying the cost.

When Wakka or a Category X Forward enters your field, place 1 Reel Counter on Wakka.

Aurochs Spirit (S)(Wa): Choose 1 Forward. It loses all abilities until the end of the turn. Break it.”

Let’s see what we wrote when Emissaries of Light came out.

“I don’t know. I still think the Opus I Wakka was the best one. Same can be said about Shantotto.

But, being able to Break a Forward for a couple of Reel counters isn’t too shabby.”

The question is, how many FFX Characters can you get on to the field, and how fast can you get them on the field. Remember each one gives Wakka a Reel Counter, and with 3 of those counters, you can break one of your opponents Forwards.

Bring on the Aurochs!!

“EX BURST When Wakka enters the field, reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Add 1 Water or Category X card among them to your hand and return the other cards to the bottom of your deck in any order.”

Resurgence of Power came out less than a year ago, and this is what we had then …

“A backup to play if you’re playing a FFX themed deck, or mostly Water.

Wakka let’s you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck and hopefully you’ll grab a card. There’s a good chance you will if you’re playing this Wakka.

This ability also comes off an EX Burst so there’s that as well.

But, from the 4 other Wakka’s available, 3 of them are better than this one.

Prove me wrong.”

Well, we can’t say we were wrong. I still stand by that.

But Mono-Water/X with the Dawn of Heroes Yuna, and Emissaries of Light Tidus,it might be worth having this Wakka on board.

“The cost required to cast Wakka is reduced by 1 for each Backup you control.

When Wakka attacks, you may put 1 Backup you control into the Break Zone. When you do so, choose 1 Forward. Deal it 8000 damage.”

Dawn of Heroes, is more like Dusk of Heroes since Beyond Destiny is right around the corner.

“Well, at least we figured out what to do with all those free Backups that we were getting.

You now have a way to use them as fodder for Wakka when he goes into attack mode.

Every time Wakka attacks, he grabs a Backup and throws it like a Blitzball at one of your opponents Forwards for 8000 damage.

Sure 7CP might be a bit much to play Wakka, but it is reduced by 1 for each Backup that you have on the field.
You should be only paying 2CP to get Wakka on the field. Maybe a little bit more.

“Wakka, wakka, wakka”

We’re just going to keep that like that.

“Wakka, wakka, wakka”
