UNISON WARRIOR SERIES -BOOST- Set 5 -CROSS SPIRITS-
Greetings, DBSCG fans!
How’d you like the last preview trailer? Here it is again for those who may have missed it:
This year, the UW Series evolves with Unison Warrior Series -BOOST-! Last year saw the release of the Unison Warrior Series–the first series focused around the addition of a brand new card type. We’ve added plenty of new mechanics and facets to the game over the years, which has led to some players feeling like they’ve lost their footing just as they were getting used to things. To address this, we want to take our time exploring the Unison Warrior Series to ensure that everyone has a chance to play with the current mechanics.
Of course, we want to keep things exciting and fresh, too! Rest assured that this season will deliver plenty of new play experiences, along with fresh opportunities for new players to join the fun.
With many players moving online over the past year, we’re starting to see the metagame progress faster than ever. Rest assured, we’re keeping a close eye on things, and will be announcing our plans to shakeup the game when the opportunity presents itself.
This set goes in-depth with the new Spirit Boost skill, and true to the CROSS SPIRITS name, you can expect tons of character crossover with your favorite storylines. The -Supreme Rivalry- Secret Rares hinted at this, but this set also features the inclusion of the Xeno Shadow Dragons from the Dark Empire Saga. Fan-favorite SS4 Gogeta : Xeno is also making his first appearance!
The SS4s keep coming, so if you’ve been looking for a chance to build a deck around
them, now is the time!
Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the new cards.
Red in this set is themed around the Tournament of Power, with part of the theme focusing on recreating Jiren’s growth from childhood using [Evolution].
{BT14-017 Jiren, Thirst for Power} gives 4-cost Jirens [EX-Evolve], breathing new life into Jirens from past sets like {BT2-029 Jiren, Fist of Justice} and {DB2-023 Jiren, the All-Seeing}.
Blue is all about the return of Hirudegarn, with Tapion and Minotia once again serving as key players in recreating the revival of this demonic menace.
We’ve designed the theme to work well with BT4 and DB3’s Hirudegarn cards, so stay tuned for more info on new pieces for your old decks!
Green is focused on the Babidi and Majin Buu Sagas, with one theme geared around playing skill-less cards. That includes this set’s {BT14-068 Videl}, so break out your favorite skill-less cards and get ready to build! We’ve also included Heroine support cards to help give the archetype more room to grow!
Well, what did you think about some of these themes? This time around, we’ll gradually be revealing new cards and information up until release to encourage more discussion the cards. Make sure to check our official Facebook frequently for the reveals!
As seen in the preview video, the pre-release cards this time are SSG Son Goku and Shenron! We’ll be revealing their card text in the days to come, but for now you can expect Shenron to provide a helping hand to SSG Son Goku in more ways than one!
Next week sees the release of the Expansion Set 17 -Saiyan Boost- and Expansion Set 18 -Namekian Boost-, which give players a chance to try out the new Spirit Boost skill firsthand! New card reveals start soon, with the set slated for release this August.
Note: Release date may change due to shipping conditions.
Until next time!
