Chapter Analysis - Fall of Flutterby

Welcome to you all guys to the next instalment in my chapter analyses - this time going into one of the most competitive realms we currently have when it comes to Canvas tournaments; Fall of Flutterby.


Chapter Overview

This chapter brings with it some of the fastest keywords currently around with Splat and Squish; both function as ways to increase your cards' resolves as long as you control multiple cards on the canvas at once. Other than that this set also started to delve into the ability to reduce the costs of cards in your hand, allowing you to deploy cards for cheaper with the drawback of them having less trade value. As a result of all of this burst potential, the set does suffer from a lesser amount of control options; at least when compared to the previous chapters. 

The legendaries of these factions generally follow the pattern of influencing the resolve, whether it be boosting it or blocking it.


One area this set does excel is draw power with several cards replacing themselves when deployed.

Removal & Interaction

You’ll find the main forms of removal stapled to the heroic pixies Sorrono and Carmela Traitorius.

Outside of these there are a few actions that also give you some interaction potential, but its mostly character-focused.

Board Wipes

In this area, Spirata brings two notable cards, Pixie Prison, which doubles as generic character removal, and Giant Prism, however both have a catch either only hitting pixies or characters with achrom shards respectively. There is also a potential location wipe in Black Out, although this sees little to no play in constructed at this time.

Strong Resolve Cards

With the theme of the set being bursts of resolve, it’s no surprise this has one of the best cards in a vacuum devoted to gaining you shards; Full Palette.

Outside of this Splat very much takes the lead in giving you strong gain with Squish having one card that can significantly boost your drain.

Chroma or Achrom?

Due mainly to the restriction of most Squish effects only adding an extra drain while Splat goes as high as 4 with Wincey Rustwhether having the potential to go even higher, I have to say chroma takes it for me in this set.


You’ll find all these cards in their respective factions’ Unlimited Edition boxes on the Achroma store. You can also get yourself the whole lot, plus the accompanying Yana and Hod expansions, a copy of HAIM Shard Cache, a playmat and access to the TTRPG, Achroma Legends, in the Spirata Deluxe Realm Box.

 That's all from me for now guys!

Keyword Highlight - Curse

Image
 Hello there Realm Runners! Welcome back to another Keyword Highlights! This time, to keep in touch with the spirit of Halloween, I’ll be going into Curse. As always let’s begin with the definition from the website.  This might seem like a very vague description but Curse is intended as a means to an end rather than an ability which does things by itself. To start with you’ll need to use your cards to Curse your opponent’s; this can be done by certain characters, locations, objects and actions, all found in the Moonveil Coven faction’s palettes from A Conjuring at Curdle Cove, as well as some characters and locations that are already Cursed (stated in their description at the top of the card next to their card type) so there’s plenty of opportunity to do it. Then there are several cards that interact with Cursed cards such as those below. On top of this there are some cards that have abilities tied to Cursed cards that get more powerful the more of them there are. Dark Rainbow its

Competitive Talk - What are ‘Staples’?

Image
Hello to you all and welcome to another of my Competitive Talk articles!  Today I want to delve into an area that people less experienced with card games might not be so familiar with but it’s something that, no matter the game is always present especially on the tournament scene - ‘ Staples ’. In every card game ever created there are always certain cards that stick out as being incredibly versatile and generic in what they can do so you’ll find them appear in most, if not all, of the strongest decks within the game. Achroma is no exception to this pattern; whilst the separation of palettes into the different Realms makes wide arcing staples less frequent, within each one there are stand-out cards that I’d always be looking to fit into my palettes regardless of the overall theme of it if I was looking to make it a top tier build.  I know I’ve already talked through a few of these cards in more detail in my Card Highlight series but I thought that, as the game grows, it always helps t

Once a quarter (every 3 months) is a new season in the world of Achroma and, as with every season, Spirata Fall is kicking off with the Achrometer event!  https://www.achroma.cards/global-achrometer Every win that happens this month will be recorded on the Achrometer as to whether it was a Chroma win (getting your shards to 30) or an Achrom win (draining your opponents to 0) and, at the end of the event, which ever side got the most wins then drives what happens in the story and even has an impact on some of the new cards which come out! So get put there and get fighting for your faction to bring them victory in their story! Along with a new season is coming a new
