Turn 1 Wins (pt.2)

Following my last post on a Turn 1 chroma win, I spoke with the community about other turn 1 wins that people have had or could theoretically have. 

This article includes three more examples. 

One from myself, one from Veridian (Charlie) [The Achroma Community Coordinator for Realm Runner Studios], and lastly one from fellow player and blog writer Echo7, link to their blog here. 


My turn 1 win idea is very simple, Asa & 2 Caches. 

This is an Achrom win in a 1v1 or a way to eliminate an opponent turn one on a bigger multiplayer. 



You need to go last so that your able to steal,  

Playing Asa puts you down to 6 Shards, resolving her now leaves both you and your opponent on 8. Then two Caches activates Asa's Ability leaving you with 6 shards and your opponent on 0 ! 

Many Achrom wins can happen turn 1 because opponents have left themselves far to low on shards. Shard management is really important to learn, do not overspend before your able to gain or trade for them back.

Veridian had this achrom turn 1 win idea: 


Once again you need to go last to be able to steal and trade first. 

So, you trade Issadora putting you on 16 shards, then play Sorcerer Pifarius and attach Cintimani stone to him in order to play Issadora for free.

You will now be on 8 shards, spend another 4 to play Peorth which hopefully reveals another Occultist character; here we have used Warlock (even if it doesn't you should still have enough steal and drain to win). 

Peorth will now drain 5 (leaving your opponent on 5) and now just resolve for a net of Steal10!       Issadora - steal 2 + her ability steal 2, Pifarius will be steal 3, Stone for steal 2 and Warlock for steal 1.

The last turn 1 win example is a chroma win, and it is not just an idea but a win that Echo7 has had with Rayders Deck. 

Eccho7 and Lewymd (Lewis) built this deck and came 3rd and 1st in the grand tournament with it. 

Here is their articles on this palette: Echo7, Lewymd 

Here is Echo7's turn 1 win: 


As with all these examples you need to go last, this time to be able to double trade. There is also a steal at play but that isn't necessary. 

Trade Giant Prism (be on 15 shards). Play Ray and splat a full Palette on him. Put Cintimani Stone on ray to replay full palette again. Your now on 7 shards and ray and now resolve for a total of 17, include 2 steal from your stone and your resolve will leave you on 26. Finish with trading Lab coat (or can be any card with at least 4 shards!) 


Thank you for reading and for the community for sharing their wins and ideas. Please tell me other turn 1 wins you have had or seen!

Norso Sneak Peek

Image
This is my first article in a while. Mostly my content has been on video .  Largely I am not recording due to loosing my voice working as a scare acter (boo!)  Although, it's good to be back on blogspot, thank you for reading!  We are in Norso spoiler season as we approach the release date for Norso Chapter 2 : The Monsters Of Norso !  We seem to be above ground in this chapter, obviously with monsters. The above image was shared to everyone on the discord, containing a potentially achrom mutated minotaur and a vast sinister looking labyrinth. What else awaits for us in the Norso Planum..  The content creators in the achroma discord have each been given their own sneak peeks, I will link the other content creators who plan to share sneak peeks here for you:  Draco Temple , Antinomy93 , Achroma Lord .  Without further ado, here is my sneak peek:  This is Vitki Village! Presumably a location. This looks like a beautiful and tranquil place to live an...

Dexter updated

Image
 After yesterdays blog ,with my new Dexter palette build, I realised some errors that I needed to amend.  Mainly being that I didn't notice that the characters in DDR are all heroic. So, I had mistakenly played doubles.  I took many of the second copies of heroic cards out and switched for similar characters. This allows more cards on my canvas as well as adding even more drain and steal into play.  I kept two copies of Thisp as its action can be very helpful. I also added two Monastery nests because they are great gain locations.  To read all the information on how this palette works and how to get Dexter out, you can read here . Those have stayed the same.  However, I realised getting Dexter out later on in game is much more benficial than earlier for a big sudden gain.  Here is the new deck list:

Community, Comiccon & Social Media

Image
The main purpose of today's article is to praise Achroma for its fantastic community.  The company itself does so much to interact and strengthen their community but then the players themselves take it a whole step further.  I have always felt accepted and welcomed by the Achroma players on discord . But, living so far away from where most of the action happens (Poole and more northern areas) I hadn't had the chance to meet people outside of the internet. That changed when I was invited to Mcm Comiccon London by the Achroma Team.  I was very blessed to be invited into the Achroma Guild. An inner circle of sorts (which will keep growing). I had my tickets and travel paid for, I was gifted a Deluxe Box, got interviewed by Charles and spent a great day at Comiccon and with the community.  The achroma Facebook & Instagram uploaded this photo and wrote these lovely words:  A vlog and unboxing video, as well as all other content achroma related can be found on my ...
