Is
Android 18 Broken?? Android 18
here, Android 18 there, I'm
personally getting a lil tired of hearing that she's the
best main personality of the game and it has gone way
too far.... can't believe it got to the point were
players started to say "welcome to the A-18 CCG".
A lot of players believe she's a god in the game and
that there's no way to stop her, I disagree but then
again what do I know right? >_^ What's
an Android 18?? I can't
see why she's so amazing so let's take a close look and
see if we can find out why she's so great. Android 18
was first seen in the Android Saga with a defense shield
that would stop the first unstopped attack performed
against her in Combat and a 1 power up rating (PUR). In
my opinion that's an amazing power for a level one but
at this point that was all we had.... just her level 1
:-( About 3 to
4 months later Cell Saga was released and she could be
found in villain starter decks along with the other
androids and Cell... she had 3 brand new levels and a
really cool looking high tech (HT) level 3, she was also
the only android to get a level 4. Many players wondered
why she was the only one to get one but the Score guys
never said anything except cuz we like her a lot.
Anywayzz her new level 1 power is a when entering combat
power which allows you to look at the top 6 cards of
your life deck, place them back in any order and draw a
card. Yet another really level 1 power for this android,
guess those Score guys really meant what they said about
really liking her huh? o_0 Her level
2 keeps the 1 PUR and almost the same power stages but
comes with a constant combat power (CCP) which cancels
all modifiers from physical attacks.... in other words
physical attacks just deal the base damage straight from
the physical attack table, no +4s, +5s or anything like
that. This is a really nice power but not the best in
the world, she can stop Physical beatdown decks in their
tracks but is not that useful when it comes to facing
orange styled decks or any
deck that focuses on energy attacks. Maybe she
was at level 2 when she beat the s... Saiyan out of
Vegeta in the show. <---- *that was me trying to make
a joke* ~_~ Her level
3 non-HT finally reaches a 2 PUR, goes from toping at
1.1 mil. in her level 2 to toping off at 1.5 mil and
comes with a nice energy attack that deals 7 life cards
of damage and if the car is in play she also deals 3
power stages of damage. This is a level 3 that can do 10
damage per turn if the car is in play.... the car is a
non-combat card in the Cell Saga that removes an ally in
play from the game and if your main personality is
Android 17 or 18 it removes 2 allies instead. Not to bad
for a level 3 but I personally like her level 3 HT more
cuz she has an energy attack for 6 life cards and with
the car in play she also deals +4 power stages. It's
still a total of 10 damage but this time it deals 1
extra stage and 1 less life card. I believe that dealing
that dealing the extra stage is better that the extra
life card cuz that one extra stage can stop your
opponent from hitting you with an energy attack and it
can convert into a life card if you have been beating
your opponent down like you should. ^_^
If she was
any other android I would be done talking about her
levels but lets not forget that she comes with a level
4. Her level 4 which looks really good in foil comes
with a 3 PUR, tops off at 2.2. mil and has a physical
attack that deals +6 power stages, lowers your opponents
anger 3 and if the cr isin play it also deals 5 life
cards of damage. Wow that's a lot of cool stuff isn't
it? I can't really say anything else about her level 4
exept that it'll make you really happy when you're going
against another android trying to reach their level 3 to
beat you only torealise that you have a level 4. Do any
of you know how evil that is? >,< After a
while we get R7 and R8, two new HTs for Android 18. Her
new level 1 is not that great cuz it only works if your
opponent uses allies but her new level 2 is a nice
physical attack doing +5 power stages and if the car is
in play you get to perform that attack 1 more time in
combat. Now you can choose a level 2 that makes physical
decks cry or a nice level 2 that can give you two
physical attacks doing +5 power stages of damage. Is she
geting better and better or is it just me? o_0 The Greatness Behind 18 No I'm not
talking about that you sick puppies o_0 I've seen that
the reason to play A-18 is her Cell Saga level 1, they
don't wana gain levels or use the Android Saga Defense
shield one so this level 1 must be the one. By now
almost everyone knowz her power, I'm pretty sure some of
you might even have nightmares about her coming back and
beating you over and over again. I wana know why this
level 1 is so amazing so lets break up and see what we
can find. Is
it the hand size? Is she so
good because she gives you that lil card drawing? She
gives u one extra card, you get to pick what that card
is but it's still just 1 extra card. When she enters
combat as the defender you get to draw the best 4 cards
out of the top 6 but if you were using Goku level 1 from
the Cell Saga and the Saiyan Mastery from the Cell Saga
you would just be drawing all six cards instead of
picking 4 out of 6. Then again this pretty much ties you
to the saiyan mastery but there are other personalities
that can help you draw more that just 1 card. The first
one that comes to mind is good old Guldo, the guy gives
you a physical attack and the possibility to draw 2
cards per combat, but the physical attack has to be
succesful. The next 2 character that come to mind are
King Cold and the living beat stick A-16, they're powers
are when entering combat just like 18's but King Cold
doesn't really like Piccolo level 1 from the Android
Saga. Android 16 still getz around him but he only works
when u start combat and forces you to build more of a
offensive deck.... even tho I still don't know when that
turned into a bad thing. The old Piccolo HT level 1 from
the saiyan saga gives u a card when entering any combat
from the bottom ofyour discard pile so it doesn't even
hurt your life deck. You can also plan ahead cuz u know
what cards u will be drawing and when you would draw
them. Piccolo can also declare a namekian TW for an
extra card every turn and if need it he can be a hero
and give you some cool cards A-18 can't use. My brain's
a startingto die on me and this is geting a lil too long
so it would be wise to move to the next section.... yeah
that's right!! there's more after this O_O Is
it the PUR? I know she
has a 1 PUR and I'm not just trying to be funny by
talking about it..... well, maybe I am but there's a
real point to it. There are a lot characters with a
better power up rathing but what if she wasnts stay at 0
or really close to that? Yup I'm talking about using her
as the MP of an ally deck, she has a 1 PUR and a decent
power that can work really well with allies. Some of the
active A-18 decks try to run off a survival victory with
the aid of allies and it's at times like this one that
Blue Prints steps up to the plate ^_^ That's
about everything I can think of when it comes to her
hidden goodies, now we get to look at the cool stuff....
her weakness '>,<' She's
an Android... Believe it
or not she is so an android, you should have expected a
catch cuz what sort of chick hot and cool like her?
*hides under desk* Anywayzz this is geting way too long and it's way too late...
or is it early now.... ARGH!!! I just confused myself
and my brain hurtzz. Anywayzz part of her weakness is
that she's an Android makes her the target of some
rather strong cards. Blue Prints is kinda cool against
her but is not as good as Heroe's Discovery card number
68 from the Cell Saga which turns into A-18 stare down
as a non-combat card. I like Heroe's discovery but let's
not forget that when she's facing A-20 she's standing
infront of a Energy attack for 6life cards every turn.
There's one more cards that hurtz here a lot, not really
cuz she's an android but because she's android 18, she
so has to use 4 Android 18 Stare downs, 3 Trunks Energy
Sphere's and ofcourse the HALT. What I'm geting to is
that Roshi's island would hurt her a lot and a lot of
the A-18 decks play land inpain instead so they would
have no way of dealing with it. Just a lil hint cuz we
all need a lil help some times right? I personally need
a lot of help, mental help but that's a different story
>_^ Hope you
enjoyed my random outburst of randomness cuz it's 4:19AM
and I it's about bed time for me so asta la vista
children :-D *Please
note that I get a lil weird after a certain hour, I will
continue chillin' w/ the purple elf now o_0*
