<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 1
<span style="font-weight:400">The Fabled Kokkator; Neo mvell Garuda; Genex Ally Bellme; Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier; Genex Ally Triforce
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">The Fabled Kokkator is fine. Not something I’ll likely use, because I have better ways of earning Pack tokens, but it isn’t bad.
<span style="font-weight:400">Neo mvell Garuda is way too specific, but I might give out some copies of it. I don’t usually give out powerful monsters, but if more Card Summoner skill orbs are going to be on the open market, cards like Neo mvell Garuda are going to be good for nobles I trust.
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Bellme is an entire minigame of a monster. And since it gains attack, I kind of like it. The burn on destruction is also nice.
<span style="font-weight:400">Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier is great. Targeting protection is always good.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Genex Ally Triforce has three effects, depending on the monster used as material. In the TCG, Light is the best. For me, Earth is probably the best. Fire is also okay, but not as good as Earth.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 2
<span style="font-weight:400">Jurrac Herra; Dragunity Militum; Dragunity Partisan; Genex Ally Birdman; Naturia Landoise
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Jurrac Herra is a pain … to fight against. It just keepsing back. Which means it is great for me.
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Militum is fine. It does Dragunity stuff, and it does it decently well.
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Partisan is a goodbo with Militum. Summon Partisan, special Militum, equip Partisan to Militum, Militum special summons Partisan. Then use the two for a Synchro.
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Birdman is one of the more famous Genex monsters. It specials itself by returning a different monster to hand. It even got limited at some point, because of some FTK.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Naturia Landoise has a monster effect negate that also destroys the monster. For the cost of discarding a Spell card. Nice.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 3
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Pilum; Naturia Ladybug; Warlock of the Ice Barrier; Dragunity Partisan; Naturia White Oak
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Pilum is like Partisan, a good Dragunity Tuner.
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturia Ladybug brings itself back each time you Synchro a Naturia monster. And it doesn’t even banish itself when it leaves the field. Nice. The 1000 attack boost is pretty insignificant.
<span style="font-weight:400">Warlock of the Ice Barrier is just an Anti-Spell Fragrance with legs. It isn’t better, but it isn’t worse either.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Naturia White Oak is a bit too specific to actually be good. You basically have to force your opponent into activating its effect.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 4
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Solid; The Fabled Nozoochee; Naturia Ragweed; Genex Ally Bellme; Jurrac Meteor
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Solid makes Pack tokens, which is still nice. Other than that it is meh.
<span style="font-weight:400">The Fabled Nozoochee is fine, but perhaps a bit costly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturia Ragweed is too specific, and you have to tribute it. If the drawing was free, it would be great, but as it stands, not that good.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Jurrac Meteor is just a field nuke that summons a Tuner after it is done. Which is great, but I have other cards for that, and I don’t really drop nukes.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 5
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Militum; Genex Ally Remote; Genex Ally Chemistrer; Genex Ally Solid; Genex Ally Powercell
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Remote is just a meh recement for a Genex Controller.
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Chemistrer can help with summoning some Genex Synchros.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Genex Ally Powercell gives all of the monsters that share an attribute with it a 500 attack boost. Which isn’t a lot, but all attack boosts count.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 6
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Javelin; Genex Ally Crusher; Genex Ally Solid; Naturia Strawberry; Dragunity Knight - Trident
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Javelin is decent. It just sticks around, if there is a Winged-Beast Dragunity for it to equip itself to.
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Crusher is too specific.
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturia Strawberry is what I’m going to eat after these packs. Other than food, it isn’t that special. No one summons monsters, and even if they do, the monsters in this world don’t have levels. They work on a rank system.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Dragunity Knight - Trident can banish stuff from my opponent’s extra deck. … which they don’t have. So unless Trident can sever summoning contracts, it isn’t that good. And if it can break contracts … then it is potentially crazy powerful.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 7
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Javelin; Jurrac Aeolo; Neo mvell Shaman; Dragunity Brandistock; Dragunity Primus Pilus
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Jurrac Aeolo just tributes itself to act as a Monster Reborn for Jurrac monsters. … but only low level ones.
<span style="font-weight:400">Neo mvell Shaman is wayyy too specific. It has like 7 conditions. And the effect isn’t even that good.
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Brandistock is nice. … or it would be if it could easily equip itself like the other Dragunity Tuners. But since it needs another effect to equip it, it isn’t as good as it could be.
<span style="font-weight:400">Of course Dragunity Primus Pilus is one of the cards that can equip Brandistock easily.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 8
<span style="font-weight:400">Strategist of the Ice Barrier; The Fabled Peggulsus; Genex Ally Birdman; Jurrac Aeolo; The Fabled Cerburrel
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Strategist of the Ice Barrier is an okay draw card.
<span style="font-weight:400">The Fabled Peggulsus is good, as is The Fabled Cerburrel.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 9
<span style="font-weight:400">Genex Ally Bellme; The Fabled Nozoochee; The Fabled Kokkator; Defender of the Ice Barrier; Dragunity Knight - Barcha
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Defender of the Ice Barrier is a fake defender. The true Defender of the Ice Barrier is Blizzed. But the fox isn’t bad either, despite stealing the name and title.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Dragunity Knight - Barcha is amazing. It just takes all the Dragon-type Dragunities from the GY and equips them to itself. And gains attack based on how many it equipped. And gains all of their effects, like Brandistock’s double attacking and Pilum’s direct attacking. Just a great monster all around.
<span style="font-weight:400">Last pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">HA04 10
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Brandistock; Neo mvell Hedgehog; Jurrac Dino; Dragunity Corsesca; Genex Ally Powercell
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Neo mvell Hedgehog is fine enough. Sure it doesn’t do much, but it doesn’t have to do much more than what it does.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jurrac Dino is a bit slow and expensive for a draw 2, but at least you can choose it you want to activate the effect.
<span style="font-weight:400">Dragunity Corsesca is another great Dragunity Tuner. Sure it alsocks the effect to equip itself to a monster, but when it is equipped, it gives that monster a really nice effect.
<span style="font-weight:400">But that is it for now. Dragunities are cool. New Naturias are cool. And I want strawberries, so I’m off to the kitchen to prepare some chocte covered strawberries.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh. In case you were wondering, I can get chocte from either making it with HomeBase or from the Crystal Empire. Lawrence goes there quite often because they have spices and other ingredients that you can get there cheap. Sadly the Empire doesn’t use the same ‘Heroic’ currency as the Kingdoms, so my unlimited money cheat doesn’t work there, but luckily we have quite a lot of random stuff Lawrence can sell for good money.
<span style="font-weight:400">And yes, people enjoyed the chocte covered strawberries. Sadly we haven’t figured out how to make good white chocte yet, because I really love doubleyered strawberries, ones that have both a milk and white chocteyer, but yeah. The white chocte we’ve made doesn’t taste right, so we need more time to refine the recipe.
<span style="font-weight:400">But if we can’t figure it out, we can always wait until I get ess to the Dark Side of Dimensions movie pack. Because it has the Magician Girls, and one of them is Chocte Magician Girl. If she doesn’t know how to make chocte, I don’t know who does. Maybe that one Madolche monster?
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">The rest of the day I spent going over potential installs, for both myself and the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">Starting off with me, I had a few good options.
<span style="font-weight:400">Starting with Leeching the Light.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Now, it might not look like much, but it actually synergizes with Restraining Sword Barrage, making the skill ‘Draining Sword Barrage’. It does the same as Restraining Sword Barrage, but also drains the stat points of whatever the swords hit and gives them to me temporarily.
<span style="font-weight:400">But it isn’t the one I’m most interested in. That belongs to the different Chain cards I could use to super boost my Dark Chain.
<span style="font-weight:400">The first one is the most basic, but possibly the best. Fiendish Chain. Itbines with Dark Chain to make Skill-Sealing Chain. You can probably guess what that skill does.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Chain Strike and Chain Detonation were both also options, if I wanted something more destructive. But honestly speaking, I really don’t want that. Dark Chain is a binding skill and I want to keep it being that.

<table style="border-copse:copse;width:100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
<td style="width:50%"></td>

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Thest option is Chain Healing. Yeah, I could heal with my chains.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">It is a good option, but let’s be honest here, Fiendish Chain is the best for what I want to achieve with the skill.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sadly, installing Fiendish Chain turns my extra skill into a unique skill, and unique skills cannot be leveled up with Level Up!, so I’ll have to hold onto Dark Chain for a bit longer while I turbo level it to like … level 20 or something. I guess I could go all the way to LV.30 now, so maybe I will.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alice has a few choices as well. Starting off with every Mirror Force variant and Magic Cylinder.
Spoiler
<table style="border-copse:copse;width:100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">With the skills she gets from them, she can turn any magic back onto its caster. I did also consider some of the ‘negate that spell/trap’ cards, but Alice can already ‘negate’ spells by erasing them with Erasure Magic, so I think reversing the spells is more useful for her.
<span style="font-weight:400">The second option is Physical Double. Now that Alice has Soul Magic, she could use Physical Double to make a body double and have her Mana half take over that double. So there could be two of her.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">For Lua, I didn’t have that many great ideas, but I did consider both Energy-Absorbing Monolith and Rainbow Life.
Spoiler
<table style="border-copse:copse;width:100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Both give her a skill that turns iing damage into HP, which is pretty dang good.
<span style="font-weight:400">Ria has some interesting choices, but I think the best two are Silver Wing and Assault Armor. I actually considered Assault Armor to be the best, but now that she has evolved into a Draconic race, she can take the Silver Wing install.
Spoiler
<table style="border-copse:copse;width:100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
<td style="width:50%"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">And with a skill that can fully heal her, twice, I think Ria would be an absolute unit.
<span style="font-weight:400">Assault Armor is also just generally good for someone who fights like her, so it was an easy option to give.
<span style="font-weight:400">For Cailie, there is a clear choice. Calming Magic.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Her songs can already calm people, so boosting that would be a big help for crowd control.
<span style="font-weight:400">Janina may or may not want Metalmorph. Which I don’t think I need to tell you would make her even more powerful.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Andst, Wilma. She wanted a skill that would help her towards her goal of making living weapons act as ovey units for her, so I was considering things like Ovey Network, Xyz Unit and Xyz Override for her.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Sadly, none of the cards could be installed into her, the installs just fail. Probably because she isn’t an Xyz monster or something. I’ll need to research some custom cards I can offer her.
