Reverse/Plus/Swap. Already had Ango. 37 games, 21W/8L/8D. 1 H&K. I couldn’t get any of the decks in the comments to work so I made my own: Coblyn, Bomb, Wanyudo&Katasharin, Colibri, Flower Basket. Good luck!

~40 Wins, 3 S&H Cards before I got the Ango card. Messed up RNG. Reverse region rule makes this VERY easy to spam.

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.

I did pushups and situps after every few wins to break up the monotony. I never got H&k, but now I'm fit as fuck.

Just started my second inventory stack of Ango Cards. Fighting him with Reverse as regional rules is the easiest way to win his drop rate just sucks

houseofmagic 9th June, 2020 @ 04:44 pm

67 wins to get 6 Angos and 1 H&K. I find waiting for regional descension helps with some of these guys--they're all easy with a simple descension deck.

Today's rules were Reverse, so I figured I'd just power through getting H&K. 100 wins, 18 draws, 18 losses. 18 Angos, no H&Ks. I don't like Triple Triad anymore.

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.

Rikku 11th July, 2019 @ 04:22 am

27 Wins 12 Losses 5 Draws = 1 Ango and 1 Hisui! Was pumped to get it in under 50 games :D

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.

22-3-4. 3 Ango 1 Hisui. I figure this must be karma for the horrible, horrible farms I've had on other 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.
