Puzzle & Dragons: Japan's Shonen Sunday (2nd) Collab

New cards info: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=523

Sinbad evolution materials and existing REM card buffs: http://pad.gungho.jp/member/collabo/sunday/160422_sunday_sinka.html

This REM used to have a higher chance of getting gold eggs due to the ratio of the rarity. You can also tell from how the 5 star gold eggs sell for only 4000 MP. There's still more gold than silvers but overall, the number of silvers have increased:

4 ->10  4-star silvers
4 -> 8  5-star golds
2 -> 4  6-star golds

Out of all the previous cards, I see Ushio & Tora(6-star) and Lum(5-star) being used the most, mainly in Arena videos. For the new cards, I think the most interesting card is Sesshomaru, the 6-star card, being a good leader pairing for the latest dark MP Flower cards, Xin Hua. The other cards aren't that good IMO with the exception of Sinbad (another new 6-star) being not a bad leader while the rest will probably be useful for skill inheritance.

I'm a fan of manga but never actually checked out these series much other than watching some Inuyasha anime. No must-haves as usual for most Collab REM, this is probably more for the respective manga series fans.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Saikyou Card Battle for 3DS

I've pretty much forgotten all the rules to the game but I'm still interested in news of yugioh nevertheless. I probably won't be getting it though...

Puzzle & Dragons: Japan's Batman vs Superman Collab

The REM is basically DC Collab with the addition of a new Batman gold egg.

Batman and DC Collab REM card buff info: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=514.

I still have Superman from the first DC Collab and I'm glad he got an ultimate evolution even though I don't see myself using him as a leader or sub for the near future. He probably has the most potential to become the best leader out of all the gold eggs, if not at least very good for farming. If you can form his team and still have enough RCV, he will be better than Supergirl as his leader skill is near unconditional. The only drawback for that unconditional leader skill being the attackers and physical requirements.

I like Armoured Batman's art and he seems to be a nice Awoken Pandora sub with an active skill similar to the green Samurai God Ishida. However, I think the odds are still low to get a gold egg in Collab REM so even though I'm a fan of Batman, I will still rather spend my non-IAP stones on a God Festival instead.

Note that all 3 gold eggs' skill up will be available in the Collab dungeon as you can see them in the card art assets: http://pad.skyozora.com/news/04/08-寵物圖檔更新(共18隻寵物)

Puzzle & Dragons: PAD Academy returns in Japan

New card and buffs: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=510

One thing I realised is that there was no cards with co-op boost awakenings this time round and I'm noticing less of that nowadays whereas the killer awakenings continue to be promoted. Some of the more interesting cards introduced are the Green Dark Kali and the Blue Green Sakuya.

Green Dark Kali is probably better as a leader (very similar to FF Lightning's) than a sub although she has the same Dark Kali active skill because she does not have the awakenings of Xmas and the original Dark Kali. I think it is still strong and definitely usable but the other set of awakenings is definitely better utility-wise.

Blue Green Sakuya is available in the MP shop for 300K MP. I will be very tempted to get her if she was unbindable and has Awoken Sakuya's bind clear active skill as I do not have Awoken Isis. However, she only retains the leader skill so I don't find her worth getting.

Overall, I find all the cards having great artwork, with some being hilarious so do check them out, but  as usual, there are no must-haves as with most special REMs.
