Rockshock: If you're just starting you shouldn't pick starters yet. The card drop rate is higher when you have less than ten cards; play using a random deck until you have ten cards and by then you'll have an idea of how the game is played so you won't pick crap cards.

can people stop whining bout valk anex? yes its a great combo but its not impossible to beat. You just have to be smart about it and manage her hp. People becoming a bit repetitive

valk annex chance of victory is huge against all player.
can't Flee attack does 48 damage when low health and enchanted blade.

Again, I would like to point out that in the case of pure 1vs1, anex would do best getting close vs phoebe, whether it be valk vs stone or candle vs non-stone... basically the chances for an anex victory there are almost 100%...

But anex is totally broken. A good close range attack, 2 devastating long range attacks, and an attack that makes them all even better. Add good health and the effects her attacks have, and you have a card that definitely should be nerfed.

Juju/Feather isn't terrible vs. CC but he has some definite problems to overcome: 1) hypnotic stare can reflect both ToD and CoJ and while both can be removed by Juju's innate its certainly something to look out for. 2) Feather only dodges 25% of the time. If you dodge pilebunker you're doing great but, chances are you're gonna take it in the face. Regardless, it speaks to the strength of Juju/feather that CC is one of his worst matchups and its not a lost cause.

Amaya and Ubie are both decent counters to CC but they lack the offensive power to put him in switch or die situations. Voidstream and bloodburn combined can both hurt Amaya and neuter his non-chiblast moves and the blast isn't anywhere close to a one-hit KO especially vs. CC. Ubuntu faces similar problems against voidstream spam, it can kill him in the time it takes for SA to take down CC. I'd agree that both these characters have generally favorable matchups vs. CC (not getting pilebunkered is a good start) but, they certainly don't dominate him like he does to so many others. Even the as-yet-unmentioned VV frequently ends up trading or losing to a character that she seems designed to beat.

Rambo: CC-Girdle still fears Amaya, interestingly enough. Ubie is also one of his main counters, and he doesn't care if he's girdled or not either. (Girdle is helpful against both Rumi and Popo, though.)

runerocker864: Rambo summed it up pretty well - they certainly aren't broken. Broken would imply they were so good that they are required in your deck to do well, which absolutely is not the case at all. They are strong and a little overpowered, but by no means broken.

brainofjikir: CritAnex loses the mirror big time, generally. They can get off a BC perhaps, but ValkAnex PTs them out of the battle before they can PT back.

ddent. Popo is not. That. Good. He's fast, yes, but popo with a feather only has a 50% chance to dodge *physical* attacks. Dark and light magic *aren't* effected. And slingshot misses quite a bit, and only has a 50% chance to cirt, as well as it can't be used at close range. Also, poison dart has only a 50% chance to poison, and it's pathetically weak as far as up-front damage goes.

yes feather popo is better than most character, especailly cc bc from range popo kill cc with sling shot or poison and use only 20,25 energy. popo speed is faster than cc by 2.
cc can not go close because popo can dodge around 90% from experience.

That being said, CC with a girdle doesn't have a particularly fear of any character in Kongai. If indeed we ever get new cards I'd like to see at least one character that can dominate CC without being too amazing vs. everyone else.

Neither Anex nor Constantine is really broken, they simply have better matchups vs more characters than others. You can beat Anex and CC the same way you would beat any other characters, switch out against their high cost attacks, engage them at their least preferred range, and intercept them when they switch out. Personally, I've found Ambrosia to be an effective Anex killer and Rumiko/Ubuntu or even Phoebe can dispatch CC if switched in at a good moment. Also, when played in tandem many CC/Anex players will attempt to brawl with CC to do some softening damage and then switch to Anex for the killing blow (preferably at far range) correctly anticipating this switch can improve your win rate vs. these incredibly popular characters.
