Twin Blade Brave, Shotel

2 months and I am still waiting for the down-voters to make me eat my words. Can someone please show me a video where the active skill is the deciding factor in clearing a descend? And yes I will keep visiting this page until they buff the active to change the entire team!

And who cares if ONE of your cards can escape an element bind if that bind has NO WAY to clear a bind? If you could avoid a bind and then match a row, then maybe that would make sense. That just seems so extremely situational I couldn't even think of an example.

And this card isn't terrible - the attack IS nice, dual TPA IS nice, and red attacker? Gotta love it. All I'm saying is that the element change is weak and 1.5 attack for one turn isn't really a show stealer either.

Heck I would settle for it changing the element of itself and the two neighboring cards! if you did that on an enemy for which the new element was its weakness, plus the 1.5 attack, now you are looking at a real difference.

It might work to use it on a verdandi team, since she boosts green and red. It would be an ok spike too for her.

Awkn Bastet Ult Devil Rush Video below. I'd swap perseus for awoken ceres after watching cuz hes bound like the whole time but shotel's 3 turn cd with an extra atk boost is nice here. I'd imagine in longer dungeons having a 2 tpa off color monster could help for trash mob clears when you don't wanna waste a green orb change active.

And now that I think about it, the active for these cards should have been "Change ALL cards attribute to ______ for one turn." THAT would truly be useful and be less situational - and definitely not OP. I cant think of a single way to use these guys otherwise. If they were to do that, this series would make it on everyone's must-have list.

Maybe GungHo finally decided that they have read enough complaints and stopped wasting our time by giving terrible leader skills to monsters that were meant to be subs. I mean seriously, what were they going to give the series - 2.5x attack for all monsters on the turn an element is changed? I need this card like I need another golem. Welcome to the REM, Weapon Series.

all i need to say is awoken basset and 3 turn cool down

I smell a green secondary ult-evo.

All I need to say is show me the video. I've watched a lot of Beastet videos and have never seen this card in one. By your logic, you should waste a space on Super Gunma or whatever it is with the one turn CD. I really want to see the player who pulls off awoken meimei or ult vishnu or any low cd wood orb maker for this. I'd like to meet them so I can shake their hand and congratulate them on having Awoken Bastet and having no idea how to use her.

I'm guessing the people who up voted you do not have a Verdandi, a knowledge of her LS and typing, or a clue. This card would get no boost except 1.5x hp until it switched. So for 2 out of 3 turns, assuming maxed skill, their team is losing 17% attack. Then they pop the skill and realize verdandi is balanced, not attacker. Then they realize there are so many other viable teams for Dandi that they wonder why they wasted the tamas and exp on this card. Then they realize that most players don't get stuck on Blazing Highway and then they quit and go back to Candy Crush.

That's who up voted you.

Hate hate hate. I'm back again. I gave it 6 months this time... sooooo... can I get some YouTube videos of Shotel the Conqueror turning C10 into Tower of Trials?

That LS. So terrible, they should have left it blank. A LS that ONLY works for the leader when the leader pops it's own skill. And then you have to meet the HP requirement.

I've seen Kopis (the light one) used as a viable sub, but no one dares use these as a lead.

See you all in a few months, when I come back to throw salt on this card until it has hypertension!

I think it is a perfectly fine card for A. Bastet. Very low cooldown, farmable skillups, good stats, double tpa, off color is basically meaningless for trash, and 1.5x is plenty of damage buff when it is also activating the Bastet leader skill and turning 36x into 54x. Is it part of an ideal Awoken Bastet team? No, but it is probably the best damage enhancer card for bastet and is certainly better than GZL at 8 turns. 3 turn max becomes even more awesome if you pair with a haste card like meimei.

Honestly, I think this card would be used more if it wasn't so weird. People go looking at green cards for their green teams and this gets filtered out and overlooked. It is easy to miss the fact that it is a 3 turn max card that is green when it counts on the boss, has damage enhance for cards that people are likely using on their green team already*, and has double TPA with 709 weighted.

*Liu Bei, Vishnu, MeiMei, Kaede, Michael, Pirate Sonia, Sasuke, Rider Robin, etc.

All that said it has a really crap leader skill, could use an ult with extra awakenings, and really isn't very useful outside of A. Bastet.

Actually, I used a similar active to clear Room of the Sacred Mask. Forest Cat Dragon lead, Lilith, Mistuki, Kurone, Thumbelina subs, and Bastet partner. Forest Cat dragon allowed me to tank every hit, so long as I never got hit twice in the same turn or hit below 50% HP. Given how weak the other cards are, and how high the blue Nash's defense was, only Thumbelina could touch it, and only after Forest Cat Dragon's skill had been activated, while below 50% HP... Kinda complicated, but surprisingly consistent. And yes, this skill was the determining factor (:

OK fam. Ik almost nobody in PAD will see this comment. As this page is absolutely loaded with comments over a very controversial card in a very controversial series. But I am deadset that this card is absolutely fantastic.

Its not only important that this card changes color. Its the fact that it goes "upstream" in type advantage. For a quick example that comes to mind, lets say weve got a red attacker CaoCao team cobbled together, with this card popped on. Now were fighting a water type. while every fire type is gimped to half damage, this card goes up to double. for arguments sake assuming all cards have the same attack, this card when green, outputs the same damage as 4 other fire team cards combined. That, with the AS boost to all attacker types.


But enough about that dated lead. Lets look at viability on a modern endgamer, the premier red attacker A. Shiva. Every third turn your LS of x20 gets boosted to x30 by her active. sure your loosing a bit since Shotel loses the 1.5 to fire type when her active is used, but across the team the difference is more than made up for. If you even go so far as to slap a verdandi on the team, (unaffected by shotels AS), you have a team that can very easily switch between almost mono red, to almost dual color green/red.

one things for certain, this card is NOT for teams that boost by attribute. Its for adding versatility and burst to teams that can afford to incorporate it

a monster who can change its element, has 1.7k attack and 2 tpas and u think its bad!?!?!?! lol

Do you have any idea how useful these things could be for avoiding binds? or changing for one turn to spike and then going back?

I'm pretty sure one of the upcoming JP patches will give these guys leader skills, but not very good ones and these will be more for subs; the news article may have changed and they might stay with no leader skills but if the leaks are correct, they get something like 3.5 or 3 or something attack over 50% hp if i remember correctly.

EDIT: I went back and found the article: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=229

One useful thing about these actives that I've been speculating about is that you could enter a dungeon that might bind monsters of a color that is strong against the main dungeon colors (situational though) but the leaders would avoid being bound. However, I still don't know why avoiding those binds would really matter if all the subs that get the damage boosts are bound by the same color bind...

Hera Rush.
Awoken Neptune team.
Seems perfect to burn through Is/Beorc first 50% to get to safe zone.

and 15 cost and dual two-prongs O_O

The name reminds me of Tommy James and the Shotels. Crimson and Clover is surprisingly apt.

pitbull song that features an hotel room?

No. That's Snoop Dog.

Here's to your PAD adventuring days and hoping you don't take an arrow to the knee

I couldn't agree more. These monsters are not so bad once you find the right team for them.

Bastet team is the way to go with this monster, I agree.
3 turn cool down at max level gives you bastet/bastet each at 5 turns, and Shotel at 3 turns.

You could nearly cycle through bastet 36x combos EVERY turn if you had a couple of these on your team.

Yeah I run her on Verdandi, with double liu bei, ult vishnu, and this firestarter. It wrecks everything. Her 1.5 boost is perfect with no need for orb enhances as the team has 5 orb boosts on awakenings not to mention 6 sb, jammer res, 13 tpa with 37k health when running dual verdandi leads. .And if you want team skill bind res sub in a perseus for one of the liu bei. Bottom line is that there are very viable teams for this card can't wait for an evolution.

"covers water weakness"
When in normal (fire form) attacking Water type, X damage*LS*LS/2 = 4.5-6.125X

When changed to wood attacking Water type, X damage*2 = 2x

You do the math.

But when it changes its attribute, does it change the main attribute AND the sub attribute? Because if it only changes the main attribute then it WOULD still be buffed by Urd.

I didn't think about that. I assumed both would change. I guess I should figure that out before judging it.

You're not guaranteed a players' choice card.

Google translate is also stupid. The second kanji has many meanings, but the most likely one in this case would be "curve." Making her "Twin Curved Swords Warrior, Shotel"

There's a card named Cao Cao which this card supporsed to be made for.

perhaps you'd like to take Shotel to a hotel?

but take my advice, be nice if you wish to entice, lest she excise your mice for your vice.
i hope i was concise.

(do you accuse everyone everyone who disagrees with you to dislike you with alt accounts? but I digress.) I'm not here to start a comment war. I'm just here to give you some advice, and that advice is, wait. It doesn't matter if gunghuo takes a year or even two years to give these new waifus some buffs. You understand that they know this, and they are experimenting right? In fact, attribute change can be too op if gunghuo plays their cards wrong. You should show these new cards some love and (like I said before) Be happy with what these new waifus are.
It's a new generation of attackers! It's a new mechanic! It's a new year, so let's stop this comment war, and look forward to what gunghuo has to offer. :)

I support this comment. "New ways to play" ~gung-ho 2015

Did you literally just comment on every single one, and say uhhhhhhh, welllll? These attribute changing attackers are pretty good. I mean, two dual prong attack? you just need to wait until they get accepted. Take gryps rider and dragon rider for example.

It's honestly sad to see a person get so mad about pad but whatever. I said take gryps rider and dragon rider as an example because they were considered trash rem drops AT FIRST. You just need to wait until they get accepted.(as I said beforehand)

One of the best uses for these guys would have to be the Attribute-restricted technical dungeons. "Look, I brought this fire card... Fooled you, it's wood now!"

But even then, Masamune is the only one that can pull it of well, seeing as Shotel would be hitting fires with wood attacks and Claymore would be hitting waters with fire attacks.

I like u ;)!

Her skill only change her to wood attribute for only one single turn, and 1.5x attack for attacker will not work with GZL's x2 attack, so she is really not really a ideal member.

I'm pretty sure i said GZL would be better for F/L Horus, not both this and GZL.

exactly. at "first". When they were first released They "were" trash. They still "wer" till they got their Ult Evos. if by what your saying is true, then we'll have to wait a year+ before they get "good". You my good sir on (multiple accounts to down-vote me for some odd reason), have just contradicted yourself.

The riders have a actual useful active. dual prongs mean nothing when their active itself puts a dent into how it can be used at all.
Now, i at least put some thought into where it is usable. Have you? its really nice of you to down-vote me. although i hardly think that matter.
