I keep going back and forth with a 35-36 card build. Sometimes I think I need only 1 PA, then I end up going against Jezebel and Seism and decide I need another. All I know is the 3rd Antimatter helps a lot in most cases.
Today, I'm going to try some variants with Unstoppable, Alfatoxin, and Jade Shield. I'm not sure off the top of my head which FGs they'll help the most against or if they're necessary against those FGs.
@Noobiecakes: I'm going to see how I like these variations, but can I have some input of how you felt with those variations containing Unstoppable/Alfatoxin/Jade Shield?
-Unstoppable is unnecessary. You don't have to worry about shield effects because your Pulverizer is going to do its job pretty well in most cases. (with the exception of Jade and Mirror Shield).
-Aflatoxin is again a nice touch, but it is not a key component of CCYB and rarely saves you against gods like Dark Matter, Graviton, or swarm gods (Osiris, FFQ) anyways. A PA'ed Permafrost will do.
-Jade Shield is a shutdown for Decay, Hecate, and Octane (they have Steals and Decay has Siphon Life), but with a PA, a PA Permafrost will do you better against gods with Explosion; those gods usually have high damage creatures so Jade Shield won't make much of a different, while the freeze effect of Permafrost is HUGE. If you decide to play with PA, which I recommend (good for PA'ing Jessie's QTs and your own QTs against Seism), then take out Jade Shield, because your FFQ is using lots of
quanta already.
HOWEVER, if you're using the Nymph variation, then it is your choice if you want to keep Jade Shield or not; you have no
usage at all if you go with the Air Nymph instead of FFQ. Also take out Fractal, obviously.
