@ David S
I've noticed (on both sides of the equation) that the best card to come up v. VV is a character with high physical resistance. I'm thinking Ashi, Oni, Helene, with the main problem being their inability to attack from a distance.
It's not just chance, but your ability to select which chances you are willing to take. Poker is also based on chance in a similar manner, but there are definite winners and loosers there.
Trial By Fire
Dude! You just completed the Trial By Fire achievement in Perfect Balance and won the Trial By Fire badge and 30 points!
Took all day....
@Ninkov, first number is the base damage, second is the multiplier, if the defender is marquis le mort (whose dark defense is 10) the attack will do nothing.
