It's just an otter, what could go wrong.

Arguably one of the most frustrating NPCs to play against. Seriously, this guy can "chirp chirp" himself.

I had Ascension for my regional rules so it was very easy to win consecutively on a pure Primal deck ;; Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Moggle Mog XII + Zurvan for the 5 star. At the end of it, almost all of the sides end up being +10 so it's also super easy to do Plus flips on whatever gets captured at the end ^^

Deep Trouble 30th September, 2020 @ 12:59 am

Easiest way is to play him on Reverse days. This guy has a lot of cards with horizontal and/or vertical symmetry, so the standard 8/8s-in-corners deck strat will fail a lot. I subbed in cards that can cover a 2 or 3 point difference in various corners (Griffin, Haurchefant, pretty much anything with a 1 and 5-8s on the remaining sides) and had more success that way.

18 Ango in inventory so far (so 19 in total), around 200 victories, and still no sign of Hisui or Kurenai. :( I already hated Stormblood when I had to face Kikimo but this, this is definitly worst. I really hope SE did not do that again in Shadowbringer.

Luci 5th July, 2019 @ 03:10 am

Oop, forget that. After 2 wins from posting my comment, the Ango dropped. My recommendation is to wait for regional rules to be reverse and Isobe will get creamed.

Luci 5th July, 2019 @ 03:07 am

Less than 15 wins, got Hisui and no Ango... odd... (odder)

SpicyEggroll 24th May, 2019 @ 07:23 pm

I took a day off work to battle this Otter. Total duel time: about 7hrs? Started to lose my mind. It took me well over 250+ wins to get the Hisui & Kurenai card. Inventory has 37 Ango cards.

legumious 16th February, 2019 @ 04:36 am

The way I keep track of wins is I copy the text from my event tab, paste it into a spreadsheet, and then parse it however I like. For example, I just had 30 wins, 5 draws, and 2 loses. I got 3 Ango cards. Now I have a stuffed otter that I'm going to tie to my bumper before I go for a drive.
