GCG Link Station EP 4


Nothing much revealed in today episode. Just a starter deck battle between ST01 and ST03. We also have some cards revealed and Events. The thing I do find annoying with the Events is that they are different and not the same even though this game is global. Plus, the Events only mentioned in US, so for the rest of the world, we would need to find the information.


Cards

Aerial Rebuild has a simple effect which does let you bring back a Lv5 or less Command card from your trash, and that is very strong depending on what the Lv5 Command card does. You only need to pair this with a Pilot to trigger the effect which is very easy to do.

Who would have thought Guncannon would be OP. Not only this card repair itself at the end of your turn, but you can also rest 2 HP or less Units. This game stacks damage, so 2 HP can be any units if they are active. But I doubt your opponents would keep damage units active unless they are the only unit on the field.

This is just a token spam card, but don't underestimate those weak tokens as this game have permanent damage. Permanent damage changes everything, especially how you strategies your attacks. You can also attack your opponent's Base or Shields. There are plenty of ways we could make use of this Command. I haven't fully read the comprehensive rules for this game, but if you can, you could mix white and green so Aerial Rebuild could bring back this Command card to spam more tokens.

Zulu is a card I like, pretty much an on play effect where you can deal 1 damage, and if that unit is on the last HP, we won't need to worry about sacrificing our Units just to defeat that Unit.

More free burn damage, and Kshatriya can deal up to 2 Units at once making the effect very strong. But of course, we will have specific Pilot restrictions in order to make the effect work. But I am liking this with Zulu to deal damage to my opponent's units without the need of attacking, so I won't need to make so sacrifice choices.

Of course, we have the main pilot for Kshatriya, Marida. This link with Kshatriya, we could potential deal 2 damage for one of your opponent's units, and Kshatriya is a Lv5, so we could wipe out some lower levels units, so they won't be able to hit our Base or Shields.

Events

Personally, I like the way Japan host the Events, from Beginner to Newtype Challenges, so this will give you a chance to learn the game and work your way up, as I think it will attracts new players rather than throwing them into the competitive scene knowing little about the game. I wish the EN side also takes this as an idea.

For the Shop battle, you get some prize pack, and those packs will have 1 in 8 of these different illustration card. You will just have to be lucky to pull your favourite one. If one of those Shop Battle is an Expert Shop, you will get Banagher & Unicorn Gundam as the resource card.

Just some promo cards if you enter the First Combat Event, of course, some of these are from Newtype Challenge.

I don't know about this, sure having 10 different factions as your resources looks cool, but I guess it is not cheap to get. Sure, you will also get a mat and a storage box, so it might worth the money for some people.


Of course, we also got this Event for US. Nothing too special except we get Zechs & Tallgeese as Resource card.

Then for China, it is complete different, and the Event is in Shanghai.
