Triple Traid 4 star cards

[Mirvana]

OMG, it's finally happening!

From Live Letter 62:
"Adjusting the use of 4-star cards in decks."

Now we just wait 'til 5.5 drops to figure out what change they went with.

I'm waiting to see what this actually means before passing judgement.

Live letter 63 mentions it again... are we ready to hope?

Appatently we will be able to use either two ★4 cards alongside our 3★s or a ★4 and a ★5 card.

■ Triple Triad Deck Building Rules
Patch 5.5 also introduces changes to Triple Triad deck building rules.

Up until now, you could only use one ★4 or ★5 rarity card in your deck. We've heard your feedback and we agree that it'd be nice to have more opportunities to use more of the rare cards you've collected. Therefore, we've updated the deck restrictions to the following:

- Cards of ★★★★★ rarity: 1 card per deck
- Cards of ★★★★ rarity or more: 2 cards per deck
- Cards of ★★★ rarity or less: no limit

Got to looking around and found this on the developer blog.



This makes me so dang happy.

It's confirmed in the 5.5 patch notes site.

A little bummed we are just getting the "power creep"-solution, but it does basically mean most NPCs aren't cheating anymore. That alone brings a good QoL improvement.
Still, if we thought just getting one 4* would be metabreaking, now we get TWO! ('o' )!

No we don't.

"Four stars or higher: up to two cards
Five stars: one only"

We only get to replace one of our 3s with a 4, not two.

No we don't.

That is what it sounds like, yeah. Even so it's a massive improvement over what we have now, and it opens up a ton of possibilities.

Hilariously the picture next to it has two of the 4's, and one 5...



Though this is probably is just the new cards being displayed, and not a valid hand.
