Gamble

[Sweet JP]

Alright, real question. Let's talk Gamble and how it's totally rigged.

Because even though it should be a 75% chance of KOing someone else if everyone's alive, from my experiences it's more like a 75% chance of self-harm. Nothing says ''too bad'' like suffering humiliating self-inflicted KO when you first play the spell. NPC Yuki or player Yuki alike. I feel safer being the one not playing the card. I've gone as far as to /rely/ on it for fast self-termination if I'm at dangerously low health.

Yet I can't help myself and keep gambling away. Because I can (it's an addiction). So go ahead and share some of your own Gamble-related stories. Wins, fails, self-KO streaks, NPC self-destruction, ... . Gamble away, folks!

Gamble has several uses:
1. Use at low HP. This is the most common use as even hitting yourself is a gain so you don't give stars away.
2. Use when someone has poppo dice or a powerful hyper they might be able to get you with. Like that Suguri right behind you that you think has an accelerator, or those cuties that are using a Special stage. The idea here being that if it kills you or them it protects you from what they had.
3. Use as a desperation move when someone is about to win to give a chance at stopping them.
4. Use when someone is close to you and is going to attack you to norma off of you even if you're not really in danger. Again, killing you or them will likely offset your paths and they will miss the norma.
5. Use when someone else is close to base with random warp on and if it kills them it likely denies them the norma since they'll warp again. Only worth bothering against someone who is ahead of you.

And even with all that, it's still not a great hyper and mimic or gift exchange is still recommended on Yuki.
