CH.467 Completing Light of Destruction

CH.467 Completing Light of Destruction

Today I didn’t have anything major queued up. I was mainly working on the new skill I still want to make, you know the one that would allow you to modify your body using mana.

I was also learning Vampiric Body Modification under Ria and Lua. It is basically what I want the skill to do, except that I don’t want it to modify the body physically, instead coating the body in a layer of mana to act like a modified body.

But it is still good to get firsthand experience with the skill, so I can make my skill idea better.

Other than that, I also had some packs to open and some sets to complete. Starting off with .

I’ve opened 40 packs of Light of Destruction thus far, so I do ten more one by one before I move onto some speedruns.

So without further ado, let’s get to some packs.

Spoiler

LODT 1

Arcana Force III - The Empress; Gladiator Lash; Arcana Force 0 - The Fool; Golden Bamboo Sword; Wetlands; Cross Porter; Reversal of Fate; Light of Redemption; Light Barrier

[collapse]

Okay. Got a new card from the first pack. That’s a great start.

And Light of Redemption is ... fine, I suppose. I do wonder if I can somehow use it to recover people whose souls or whatever have been lost, so that I can resurrect people outside of the 24 hour time limit Monster Reborn has. I need to look into that at some point, but I’m not sure if I can. Not like I can Factory test this sort of thing.

And even if I could find a human test subject, it would have to be someone who had the Light attribute, and even then I’m not sure how ethical it would be. Resurrecting people is already questionable, so resurrecting someone who has been dead for a long time will be even more questionable.

... Let’s open the next pack before these questions break me.

Spoiler

LODT 2

Mystical Cards of Light; Miracle Flipper; Unifrog; Light Spiral; Sanguine Swamp; Gladiator Lash; Short Circuit; Batteryman Industrial Strength; Arcana Force XXI - The World

[collapse]

... So Pack Opener is on my side today? I think it doesn’t want a repeat of my showing 100 Pack tokens down its throat.

Arcana Force XXI - The World is kind of nice. Good stats, and the effect to skip your opponents turn. Sure I’ve never tested what it will do in real life, so I’ll have to do that, but still. A great monster to have access to.

Next pack.

LODT 3

Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon; Arcana Force I - The Magician; Demise of the Land; Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior; Interplanetary Invader "A"; Jain, Lightsworn Paladin; Space Gift; Realm of Light; Owner's Seal

Welp. That is the first one with no new cards. No biggie, because the last two packs had awesome stuff.

Next pack.

LODT 4

Arcana Force I - The Magician; Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon; Space Gift; Spell Gear; Arcana Force 0 - The Fool; Golden Bamboo Sword; Raging Cloudian; Owner's Seal

Spoiler

LODT 10

Arcana Force 0 - The Fool; Dice Try!; Quick Charger; Short Circuit; Summon Limit; Gladiator Lash; Hero Mask; Arcana Force III - The Empress; Arcana Force XIV - Temperance

[collapse]

Still nothing new. Well, two out of ten is ... I think it is about what is expected. Would have liked to have a few more new cards, but this is where unlimited Pack tokens come into play.

So for the first speedrun, let’s use 50 packs and see what I can get.

... Yeah. Maybe 200 is 100 too many. But how did I not get Judgment Dragon from 200 packs!?

Whatever. Let’s go over the new stuff.

Honest is nice. The crazy attack boost it can give is so useful in so many situations. Sadly I don’t think it will work on me because I still don’t have an attribute. ... actually, maybe I’m all attributes. I can use any attribute specific equip spell after all. So Honest might work. I’ll test it out at some point.

Dark General Freed is okay. A bit creepy looking, but his effect isn’t bad.

Jinzo - Lord is just an upgraded Jinzo. If I ever need Jinzo, I can just summon Jinzo - Lord instead.

Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter is a cute wolf/dog thing. I want to summon it and pet it. And he is a good boy with a good effect, even if his stats aren’t all that amazing.

Vanquishing Light is another counter trap against summoning, but honestly, I’ve not ran into a single situation where a card like that would have been useful. ... then again, I’ve never tested if they can prevent the fissures from pooping out monsters. Still, Vanquishing Light isn’t the one I’d use.

Soul Rope isn’t bad, I just don’t need it. Like always, unlimited searching and summoning.

Celestia, Lightsworn Angel, Maximum Six and Ultimate Rare Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem aren’t new, but I didn’t have the ultimate rare versions of them yet.

Destiny End Dragoon is nice. Great attack, great effect. Just an all around great card.

Dangerous Machine Type-6 isn’t good. It is just ... a dangerous machine.

And Solar Recharge can make me Pack tokens, so it isn’t bad.

Spoiler[collapse]

But still. 200 packs, nine new cards. 12 if you count the ones where I didn’t have the card in the higher rarity. Not all that many.

But let’s just set up the capsules to get the cards I’m missing and call it a day.

And after a quick check, I’m missing just eight cards. Starting off.

Kuraz the Light Monarch is ... not the best Monarch. It isn’t terrible, just ... not the greatest.

Angel O7 is fine, but I don’t really need the effect it has.

Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo is great. Good flip effect and prevents special summons. ... except that neither of those things actually matter! But whatever. He is cool, so he can stay.

Fog King is cool. It gains the attack of the monster(s) tributed for its summon, so he can get big attack.

Ehren, Lightsworn Monk isn’t the greatest Lightsworn. That is all I’m going to say about that.

Tualatin is ... interesting, but a bit too specific.

Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler is good. Either double attack with 4000 attack stat, or suicide bomb everything on death. Both are nice effects.

And last, we have the Judgment Dragon. You know this sucker, and you either hate it, or you play Lightsworns. In which case you love it. There is no in-between with this beast. And I’m glad to have one, even if I’m not the biggest Lightsworn fan.

Spoiler[collapse]

So yeah. With that, another set is complete. I now have all the ‘pre-Synchro’ era sets completed, so that is nice. Feels like a milestone of sorts.
