Analysis:

Before let's get started, yes, this is a weird build and I like playing weird builds. Second, LOLIS AND BOOBS! Now, move along.


Let's get back to talking about the deck. I believe you guys have already read this either on my blog or somewhere else on the net by now. If you haven't, go read it, because you might wanna try that out, instead of my build.

Anyway, like what I've wrote in my recent post, (cue copypasta) the main feature for Bermuda △ is the bouncing ability, in which you get to have a unit returned to your hand due to an unit's ability. By returning the unit to your hand, you probably will gain more hand size, from the bounced back unit's ability or the unit itself.

Now, this deck allows rushing and controlling your opponent's units, which is fun to play with. By applying the correct tactics and right timing on ability execution, the deck is pressurizing deck to fight against.

Starting with the triggers, we are playing with balanced triggers, which allows decent drawing power and unpredictability in drive checking. This also means, when you have 5 units or full field, you should hit with either one Rearguard, then hit with the Vanguard and finally, the other Rearguard.

If you realize, the triggers have a combo, in which Bubblin gains 3k power if Ressac is on the stage; Ressac gains 3k power if Flows is on the stage; Flows gains 3k power if Shuplu is on the stage; Shuplu gains 3k power if Bubblin is on the stage; and so on. Of course, you're not going to do this combo, unless you're in a desperate situation.

Moving on, let's talk about the family ride for Riviere. If you manage to perfect ride Riviere from Grade 1 to Grade 3, they'll allow you to gain extra 3 cards, which is pretty profitable. Mermaid Idol, Riviere is a pretty good booster since she is 7k in power, while Super Idol, Riviere is a decent attacker with 9k power. Top Idol, Riviere herself is a great Vanguard to have if you have Super Idol, Riviere in her Soul, in which making her a 11k unit. This pretty much makes defending her easier.

However, if you realize, this deck only has 3 Top Idol, Rivieres, instead of 4. Why is that so? Basically, you'd want to use her ability once or twice and move on with Pacifica, who fares better against 11k Vanguards in terms of attack and ability playing. By Persona Blasting via Riviere, you've already reduce the size of your opponent's hand card or force him/her to take extra damage.

Missed perfect riding or not being able to ride Top Idol, Riviere? Don't worry, we have the alternative, Top Idol, Pacifica. Pacifica is a 13k Vanguard when attacking, if you have 4 or more Rearguards, and this makes her a headache for opponent who field 11k Vanguards. Wait, this is not even the best part, we have her Megablast, which allows her to call 3 Rearguards from deck to different Rearguard circles if she does hit the opponent's Vanguard. This sounds fun when you have tons of soul to burn with Counter Blast intact.

Back to Grade 1's, nothing much to say on Sedna and Ellie, and you can just copy paste what I've said about 8k vanillas and null guards from my previous posts onto here.

What we'll be talking about are Miltoa and Felucca. Miltoa is a replica of Dark Cat of OTT, which allows both players, you and your opponent to draw a card. Sounds like a loss? No, not at all, when you need extra hand cards and you able to force your opponent into throwing hand cards. Of course, it's all depending on situation. Aside from her abilities, she is a decent booster, having 7k in power. After Miltoa, we have Felucca the watermelon boobs, no, I mean the Soul Charger. Her role in the deck is to "Profit Charge" and fill the soul to feed Flores.

Since I mentioned Flores, let's talk about her. Flores fills up the last 2 slots for Grade 3's. Flores is a pretty good Rearguard, since she is able to pressure your opponent into guarding when you have another Rearguard with good CIP (come in play) ability, and a good Rearguard, I meant Felucca, Miltoa and especially, Rio. Rio's ability is pretty awesome, if you manage to bounce her from the stage, you may Soul Charge *1 and draw a card. With Flores on the field, you be pressuring your opponent into guarding, and combined with Riviere's Persona Blast in early game, you'll be looking at a formidable combo which will not only reduce your opponent's hand card, increasing your hand size at the same time, and inflicting damage on your opponent.

Finally, Top Idol, Aqua. Nothing much to say about her, you may refer to my previous posts on 10k vanillas.

I guess this is it. Did I miss anything, or do you have anything to ask? Leave a comment below, I'll try to answer your questions. See ya next time!

    1. First, Pearl Sisters require you to hit the opponent's Vanguard.
      Second, everyone will try to get rid off Pearl Sisters due to their effect.
      Third, twins. Twins are vulnerable when they are not on the stage together and most probably will get raped by opponent.

    2. Also , why not playing Bermuda Princess , Lena i mean it's a really good card right ? rearranging the field also activating Rio effect .

    3. Yes, it's a good card, if you're playing Pacifica - Lena. The problem is there's not enough slots for Lena to be slotted in. In terms of having an extra attacker to pressure, you might as well have Flores instead of Lena.

    1. It's actually quite debatable on which to use. One of the anons requested a Riviere + Pacifica build, hence this post. I chose Flores over Seram, because I prefer to pressure my opponent into guarding, rather than just pure power.
      However, with releases of newer boosters, I think the build can be updated.
