New General reception

[henry1234562]

Some of my opinion:

Jeong's Office:
It's a Urban-plague class, so their key pages power level is fine, although they have the best passive for any if discard build. If Hanafuda was a purple i think it will be too good.
But on combat pages, Sakura is just too weak as a 3-cost even at Urban-plague , Daring Decision have same cost, better roll and better effect and is on Urban-Legend a lower tier. Sakura would need to boost power instead of min value to be on the same level as Daring Decision. Other pages seems fine.


Night Awl:
Very strong pierce support, nothing too crazy for key pages, but if they can have some passive tie with haste or bind or the difference of speed, it would be better.
On combat pages, Allen's 4-cost exclusive page is too weak, compare to their 3-cost Prod the weakness, it doesn't get much higher roll, and the on use effect is very hard to get much done since haste and bind is too rare even after their present. I think this page's on use effect can change to boosting power instead of damage, since it is a exclusive page, and they don't have anything else tie with their bind and haste. You can compare with Disgorge Innards which has much easier condition to do bug damage.
Beside that. Night Awl provide a lot of good pierce pages. And Allen is very a good page.

Udjat:
Very solid key pages, is good pages to use as key pages on floors want sustain. Like playing MOC on Gebura's floor, losing all clash but taking little damage.
But their combat pages is not very good, most condition is on clash win and on a offense die. Maybe this is intended, they have very good passive anyway.

Mirae Life Insurer:
Key pages if just boring i think, but they suprisingly have 2 endured on a blue key pages. And Irina has 3 endured, make her very hard to die. That passive is very useful though. Wish they have some of the Jeong's office passive.
On combat pages, nothing much to say, very powerful discard support. if the retore on discard one is 0-cost i would be very happy (because of focus fire.) On the other hand, those you want to discard pages, all have very good on hit effect, so using them is not that bad which is a good thing. The 3-cost Final Stroke is a bit too good i think, but big roll is on 3rd die means most of the time it will just one-side, a way to balance it.
Irina is like the third key page can fight Xiao and Pluto without dying to their burn, and can retore all party's light, even has a mass-attack on low health. Very solid page.

Leaflet Workshop:
Another smoke support, give smoke user another good passive to use. But smoker's biggest problem is lacks of passive slot, Like Eileen and Yae only have 3 slots.
For combat pages, beside the 1-cost Smoke Blow is very strong, others are at average.
For Yae, 3-cost gold page is on paper very crazy, and is not a exclusive, but sadly, it's bug now, have no effect on use. 4-cost can be seen as a better Ever-spinning Gearwheel. The only problem with Yae is he start at 3-light, not 4. So unlike Eileen, he can't use 4-cost smoke page at start, not a bug deal though. Still very good, probably second of best smoke user.

Bayard's office:
Key pages have a 3-cost passive that give us strength with a small down-side. Those key pages has a lot of heal or just never lose clashes can have a good use of it.
Combat pages are meh, having a better Frontal assault, and some random 2-cost 3-type die pages for Oswald maybe?
Bayard himself is a very interest page, I think the best way to build it is only use Ready Position as a 5 strength buff, and deal a lot of damage next scene. Only use Pinpoint Breaktrougth when you can stagger enemy. And because of this style of play, maybe they should make Ready Position a Single-use, and make Pinpoint Breaktrougth give it back to force you use it. Otherwise i don't think it will get much use.


Overall a impressive update, we get 4 Gold and 3 Purple SOTC pages, make old page lock Ensemble fight a lot easier i think. Also we get a lot of combat pages with Paralyze, which is good on all bosses. Those guy who is reclearing the game will have a much easier time to deal with Ensemble and reception after them.

The biggest change on some decks might be, Thumb's gun build, because of those discard support and pierce support, you can build a no ammo build, only recover light and draw pages from discarding insurance pages. Those pierce main deck will have a big power boost. And Myo finally have some very good low cost haste pages.

Agree with most of the receptions, but imo the Jeong Office need a buff to their combat pages all around. There damage output is really bad for an Urban Plague also Hanafuda is the only Gold page with a weakness (really they could have just made her a purple page so we could get three copies of her).

Her passive is a bit too good though, but i will be glad to have 3 copy of her passive. That will make discard deck so much better on light regen.
After some hotfix, their page have some haste mechanic, but with no follow up.. so i don't quite know what are their combat pages suppose to do.

The new pages make Chesed floor very strong. Can hit 5 protection on everyone with 10+ on the person who took the most damage. Kalo + Hana + Udjat and Irina being the person you put Courage on

PM is enabling my discard addiction 10/10 final stroke has a new home in my blunt PT deck, literally the first time Daring Decision has been outclassed by something else
