First Bermuda Card. Not Off To A Good Start...

Not Kruk 6/10

This new girls name is "Dancing Designer, Laurent"

Flavour Text: "To attract the audiences are not only the songs and looks."

Skill: [AUTO] [Generation Break 1]: [Soulblast 1 & Discard this card] When this unit is returned to your hand from RG, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your Rearguards, return it to your hand, choose one card from your hand and call it to RG."

So, what a way to start off the Bermuda season (which came early, I expected it to start next week) with a weird stand trigger that doesn't replace Kruk. The fact you have to lose a 10k shield means that this card is more effective if your opponent has 5 damage since this card seems to be more off a way to help wrap up the game by calling cards that may become in Harmony or activate any effects that are on place RG to do some stuff. Other than that really, the free extra bounce makes this card a little good. She is ALMOST Kruk but she has a different cost and a different timing, also she doesn't return to the deck. It's not a bad card but if this is the standard for C generic Mermaids, I'm not really looking forward to this set. Unfortunately, I could cry right now but this is a stand trigger that is generic so, it's not gonna say much about the rest of the set. Probably helps out Chouchou more than anything so I guess there is that. ALSO THIS SET, CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A G3 SHIZUKU?!?!?!?!?!?

That's all for today I think so I guess I'll take my leave, I shall become more active here since Bermuda season starts now. Kinda hype for this set but so far I just want the Coral support and things like that. I hope the generic stuff is better than last set more than anything..

Bye for now!

*insert high pitched squealing here*

Early Game? Check. Middle Game? Check. Late Game? What late game :P

Riviere's stride form was revealed yesterday as well as her full effect and some support! I would have done this yesterday but I was too busy squealing to write this post. Like OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!!!!! So basically

Legendary Idol, Riviere

Grade 4

Usual Stats

Flavour Text: "It's because there are people who supports her. The legend now has become a myth."

"ACT [VG] 1/TURN [Counter-Blast 1, Choose a face down G unit with the same card name as this unit] (unfortunately :'( but makes sense). Choose up to the same number of your rearguards as the number of cards with "Riviere" in their card names, they get +5000 power until end of turn. If you have three or more face up cards in your G zone, draw a card, and this unit gets +10000 power and +1 Critical until end of turn."

THIS IS A GOOD SKILL ALRIGHT!! While the cards in your soul with "___" in its card name is Corals' thing, it is fine since they are both ride chains and they both give you a pat on the back for completing the ride chain. This is basically the same with Frontier Star, Coral so you don't need a heart card with Riviere to do this skill. The main difference is what you can flip. Riviere has to flip herself which is kinda sad cause I wanted to use this girl multiple times in a row, but imagine constantly spamming this XD. It's a literal death sentence for your opponent if you rush them early game. Also because she needs 3 g units face up (including herself), you'll need to save Riviere for the middle game in order to make full use of her (if they aren't dead by then). I like this idea since I generally use the Cray Elemental g units which turn Riviere's 10k base into an advantage (deck profile coming soon). It's more likely that the reason they went with the G Persona Blast is because Top Idol, Riviere is a Persona Blast, but that effect can be used a maximum of three times so like, why didn't they just make this card a G Blaster? Well, whatever, it's not like your opponent should be surviving the 2nd stride of this anyway so. I'm not saying I don't like this, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! But it could have been a tiny bit better. Should I get to her support? Yeah!!!!!

Remember Arboros's G1? Yep.

Flavour Text: "Compete and help each other. Friendships are supposed to be like this." Very Sweet.

This girl is called "Hearty Dance, Courasche" and she is basically the G1 Arboros for Riviere.

"[ACT][VG][Choose a RG named "Bermuda Triangle Cadet, Riviere" and put it into your soul] Search your deck for a "Mermaid Idol, Riviere" or "Super Idol, Riviere" reveal it, put it to your hand, and shuffle your deck. If you put "Mermaid Idol, Riviere" into your hand, Ride it as Stand"

So it's okay. I don't know why they include the G2 for these things at all but eventually I'll find the reason why if you just want to get the ride chain right. This card could have been better but this is also fine. Thank god it is a C so there is that. Oh well. It's something, could've been better. BUT I DON'T WANT AN "It's something" TYPE OF CARD! I WANT AN "I will definitely take out x card for this card OMG!!!!" TYPE OF CARD! sigh.

Time for the next support card!

Hey Coral! CHECK THIS OUT!

This girl is called "Lunchmaker, Aika"! Not a hard to forget name XD and she is almost Lyrica for Riviere.

Flavour text (brace yourselves): "I should put many of the side dishes that Rivie likes~ *music note*" SHE CALLS HER RIVIE!! OMGGGGGG I CALL RIVIERE RIVI SO, CLOSE ENOUGH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, let's go into her effect

"[AUTO]: [Choose a card from your hand and put it into your soul] When this unit is placed on RG, if you have a Grade 2 or greater vanguard with "Riviere" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw a card."

Not a bad card, sets up your Riviere soul and gives you a draw, it would be better than Lyrica if she had one more skill, however I'm sure that would be "too much" for Riviere. This card is one I'm using definitely. Also, she starts everything off when you have "Super Idol, Rivi" on your VG which is generally when I start rushing anyway so this restriction isn't weird, however it might interfere with my rushing unless I draw into something else I guess. This isn't a bad card however one more skill would have been nice. 

That concludes all the G1 Support Riviere will probably be getting this set so. I give this support a 6/10. It does what Riviere now does and fixes the Ride chain so, nothing special and nothing unexpected so, it's a fine G1 support although my G1 space is gonna need some fixing and I don't wanna take out Shizuku, but if I have to I will. 

Time for the last support revealed for Riviere for now!

Let the rush begin! I guess

This girl is called "Limpid Chorus, Meirin" AND YO IS THAT THE FIN RIVIERE WEARS??? AND WHAT ABOUT THAT DRESS TOO????!!!!! She is like super adorable though

Flavour Text: "I will not lose to (*) and work harder!" * = Maybe something else goes here

"[AUTO]: [RG] When this unit attacks a vanguard, if you have a "Super Idol, Riviere" on your VG or soul, until end of that battle, this unit gets +2000 power, and "[AUTO]:(RG): When this unit's attack hits, Counter Charge (1)/Soul Charge (1).".

Before the full translation, it was just if you had a Super Idol, Riviere on your VG and that sucked so I'm happy it also included soul. Also this Super Idol, Rivi restriction.... For all you people who prefer to have Trois on your VG, GO HARD!!!! Once again, this card starts off when you have the G2 Rivi on your VG so this card supports rushing at the G2 stage. Makes me wonder if we will get another g2 and a g3 that also supports rushing or similar fighting styles. The CC1 SC1 is kinda weird since other than Top Idol, Rivi, Rising Star, Trois and some strides, this cards CC1 won't be needed, if this card also allowed you to draw a card, THAT WOULD BE RR WORTHY!!!! SC is obviously so you can try and SC a Rivi for Legendary Idol. Overall this card isn't that bad! Flute, for me, is definitely getting replaced for this card! Not much else is to be said really.

That was all for the Riviere support that was revealed. I hope for another G2 and a G3 and I'll be satisfied with this set, now to wait for the extra Coral support! And Pacifica and basically everything coming in this set. 

One other card that was revealed was the Trial deck G Guard

"Chouchou, Pallfy"

Bye Nasha

This G Guard is basically the Ichibyoshi G Guard which almost fits Bermuda perfectly! Yeah, Nasha is definitely going! Not much to be said, a really good TD G Guard! Which also might hint at what Chouchou is also about but we will wait until next week and see.

That's all from me, so I'M ONE HAPPY PERSON!!!! RIVIERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BermudaMaster~ Until next time

LEGENDARY IDOL, RIVIERE!!!!!!!!!

It's been 9000 years...

Name: Legendary Idol, Riviere

I've waited... for so long... for Riviere.. and now we finally have her name. Most of you by now should be able to tell that Riviere is kinda like my Avatar (like the Magallanica Branch Chief) so that's why I wanna talk about her right now since we have some information on 
her. Well, we don't have that much but it is more likely a Stride. I personally want her to gain 1K if the heart is "Top Idol, Riviere" if we don't get a new G3 Riviere. I don't have much to talk about but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BermudaMaster~

GENESIS AGAIN! ISHTAR + AWANAMI!! Also Bermuda Stuff

Best First Stride and Last Stride

Goddess of Investigation, Ishtar = 

[AUTO]:Revelation-(VC)
[AUTO](VC):[Soul Blast (3) & Choose a face down card from your G zone, and turn it face up] When your drive check reveals a grade 1 or greater card, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose the same number of your units as the number of face up "Goddess of Investigation, Ishtar" in your G zone, they get [Power]+3000 until end of turn, and if the card revealed by the drive check has the revelation ability, [Stand] those rear-guards.

Soul-Charge Engine For "She Who Needs It" (not really)

Goddess of Ephemeral, Awanami =

[AUTO]:Revelation-(RC) (When this unit is placed on the specified circle, look at the top card of your deck, and you may put that card into your soul. If you do, [Rest] one of your [Stand] rear-guards)
[AUTO] Generation Break 1:When this card is put into your drop zone from your soul, you may Soul Charge (1). Then, if you have a vanguard with the revelation ability, you may Soul Charge (1).

Totally didn't copy and paste effects from the Wikia due to laziness. 

SO TODAY IS A BIG DAY AND I'M SURE YOU CAN ALL SEE WHY!!!!!!!! Ishtar got revealed today and my god was it worth the wait. You can see her effect so i'm just gonna analyse it starting now. IT'S SO GLORIOUS!!!! It can potentially make your entire field restand and also it turns all G1 and higher revelation units into stand triggers so that is superb! The only problem though is that you will be flipping almost your entire G Zone for her if you plan to use her multiple times, but by then, your opponent should have died since Ishtar just pumps out so much power to multiple units. Her SB3 cost isn't bad either as well. The fact she has Revelation almost makes this card too overpowered for a RRR since you can set up for her skill. This day is the best day ever for Genesis players. I tested this card and this actually makes Vanargandr a little underwhelming now since you will be getting triggers or pseudo-triggers like 100% of the time. He is good as a flip target tho >:3.

Now we move onto the C Awanami. Ephemeral is a really cool word and I like it a lot, since it also suits how she is. Very short but within that time, she makes a massive impact. So basically, for a first stride, if you stride into Ishtar, you will be able to resolve Awanami's skill since all of her conditions are met since you do have a vanguard with the Revelation ability, though i'm not really sure of that since you aren't GB when you soulblasted her however you will be when you go into Ishtar. Anyway, she is almost a god send for Amaruda since you can increase your soul count by two which is what most of these cards seem to do now. She is a perfect ride target, like what Gelgja is for Fenrir. Awanami is a C which makes me worried at what Detect Angel's Rarity could be. She could be the RR since she is a 7k base and she has the Revelation ability and there doesn't seem to be any other units that could potentially take the RR spot, if it is Amaruda's searcher, then she is gonna be pricey. Well, whatever happens, she is gonna be a good card like Awanami is. 

These two are just sublime and I love them SO MUCH THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!! That was all from me today and I can't wait to see the Bermuda stuff coming in. Which speaking of. REIT HAS A NEW FORM!!!!! Also the deck boxes and sleeve types are confirmed and also the Pacifica SP pack has some cards in there that are confirmed. It wasn't much but it was something that will get you all caught up. See you all in the next post!

BermudaMaster out~

People Say "Luard!" I say "Please Make Bermuda Great"

Anyone Like Hand Advantage?

This new Mermaid's name is (as you can see) Chouchou Stage Debut, Tirua. Her effect is a little blurry but you can make it out. The most important part for me is the requirement to have to reveal a card with Chouchou to get an extra draw, also you need to Gear Chronicle a rearguard. Which either means that the playstyle of Chouchou is more early base or most units can do stuff when they leave the RG (which would be weird). Chouchou is gonna be a new sub-clan (archetype whatever). I like how Bushiroad is pushing players to use the Keyword units more than ever before (e.g. Amaruda, Scharhrot, Shiranui etc) which obviously tells us that Chouchou is a deck that you can have 100% of Chouchou's in your deck which makes Tirua super consistent. Now the next part is the fact she can make you stride for free by doing what Bermuda does, or what Chouchou does. A stride skill does what a clan or sub-clan usually does most, like how Fenrir is mandatory a soulcharge so you can pay the cost for Soulblasts which helps Genesis. Luard also calls Grade 1 units which can be sacked off later on. So, maybe Chouchou as a whole requires you to run Chouchou units to be able to kick off effects. Also, the fact you only need one or less rearguards to stride for free may also make us assume that Chouchou requires you to send units to the bottom of the deck for later on or maybe it makes you bounce units to reveal the top card of deck and if it was a Chouchou card, add it to your hand and draw 1 card or things like that. This is just one card so ehhhhhhhh? We'll just have to see what Chouchou gets later on I guess. 

Anyway, that was all from me so byebye.

One More Genesis - Introducing "Double Stack"

Remember, it used to be Non-GB

I'm late to the party. This Sniper was revealed either Friday or Saturday of last week. It was more likely Saturday cause Amaruda and Ninnil was revealed Friday (I remember cause I was in Maths at that time and I was like so happy). In the anime, this girl was non-GB would would have been so much better but we get what we get. This card also introduces another Revelation (mini version anyway) since, well, as you can see above obviously what I mean. So if you do put a card into the soul, while the resting part is a backdraw, this girl can turn that backdraw into a chance to hopefully stack a trigger. If it isn't a trigger then you obviously put it on the bottom of your deck and get +2000. This is probably for those players whose top two cards of a Revelation are no triggers (I'm a part of that group) and are unlucky. However, this card shouldn't have to reward you for not getting a trigger (although I guess stacking is a reward on its own then...) and it should give you an extra power boost for putting a card on the top. Other than that, this card is an easy 3-4 of since thanks to Amaruda, you can run less G3's now and focus more on the g2 and lower units that can revelate on RG or VG (thanks Ninnil). I think the 1/Turn restriction is a little meh but whatever. She is a staple card in a full revelation build and can work in Fenrir Revelation as well. I like what they are doing with Revelation, turning the "Rest one stand Rearguard" from a backdraw into a way to gain advantage. I can't wait to see what else Genesis gets! It's gonna be so good!!!! Like in the anime, you can pull off some pretty cool combos with Senri but not too much since 1/Turn... and also it is GB... Sigh. 

Anyway, that was all from me today. I will be back with more Genesis reveals (even witches probably, I'm more hype for Revelation stuff tbh) when they get revealed. See you all later in my next post.

BermudaMaster~ 

GENESIS FINALLY! Amaruda + Ninnil

BYE FENRIR!

Prime Beauty, Amaruda

BYE GJOLL!

Goddess of Favorable Wind, Ninnil

AFTER ALMOST A MONTH, WE FINALLY HAVE AMARUDA!!! (Make sure to read them first)

Lets just head straight into the review

Amaruda's CONT skill to SB3-Revelation cards to stride without using your hand is GREAT! This means you can ride her and use that skill if you are able to! Like, Fenrir is definitely dead, I'm gonna use Amaruda now. Her stride skill literally encourages all to use a full revelation deck which is FINE BY ME! This is such a glorious day. Her stride skill, while it doesn't give you field, it does encourage you to by giving 2 units 4K which you can just choose your starter and your G Unit and also you get to draw off it which is GREAT if you use her first skill! OMG! THIS IS SO AMAZING AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Ninnil is basically what it was in the anime which is ALSO fine! It's not 1/Turn so that makes Ninnil almost a 4-of immediately! Also the fact she has revelation on VG promotes her to a 4 of in my opinion! WHAT A GREAT DAY MAN!

Anyway, I'm gonna scream somewhere else other than here so that is all from me today!

BYE!!!!!!!!! AMARUDA OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
