Wild cards and gems kinda break this game

VC while being a really fun game, ultimately kinda destroyed by the existence of Wild gem imo.

Now I have played VS before and poncle games have never been about being hard but extreme dopamine rush so it's really nothing new for me. But still, Wild Gem is just too broken.

A huge part of the game is about playing card in certain order to maximize combo and WG kinda just throws it out of the window. It being free on top is kinda just overkill. Also basically invalids so many other gems it's not even funny. Allow reverse combo? What's the point, Wild basically does that. Mana refund or free to play gem? Wild does it better. +Cost so allow higher combo? Also just use Wild lol.

At this point I probably have to limit myself from spamming Wild to make the game more balance.

Apparently it's still possible to run DHPT with Ashblade if you have his cone

Sustainless it doesn't really matter much really. You can just let Blade die for him to heal himself (though might not be able to work that well with Welt anymore unless the timing is good). There's apparently a new strat of running Winter Guard set to heal himself up as well.

Those who are lazy and want to run PT like be / have Hyacine but need her elsewhere, apparently it's still possible to use him with cone with some tweaks.

For PT, use ER rope to speed up his Ult rotation.

For Blade

  • Use ER rope
  • Use Spd boots
  • Use Fire damage orb

Basically, this will lower Blade HP as much as possible (while not necessarily sacrificing his damage too much), thus also lowering his HP consumption. A 8000 HP Blade will use 800 HP skill/fu, a 6000 HP will only use 600, simple math.

You should be able to last 1 cycle or maybe 2 which is fine for now cause competently built Ashblade team should destroy everything within that time.

Somewhat temporary band aid yes, but at this point I'm almost sure an alternate option for healer is coming so at least this will work for now. Overall his team actually kinda gets buffed a bit due to Blade increase damage. It only gets nerfed at E2 Blade but sadly that never gonna stay after the loop is discovered.

Also find a pic for reference on twt.

Not much to say, Ashveil already has really high % amount of damage up. His trace already covers 80% FU and up to 200% from Gluttony. Then you add another 20% from 2 pc Duke, 25% from Duran, 14% trace and it's already very chunky.

Most of supports these days also lean toward %damage buff. Welt comes with 100% damage buff. Same for Sunday. The only ATK leaning support is Robin which frankly isn't that good for Ashveil.

That and Blade drop with another 50% damage + another 50% fu damage from his trace, along with 15% damage from his new set.

Some examples of CCs running ATK Orb.

Oh and the gap becomes bigger if you use Spd boots.
