Does anyone have any idea why red pirate and red fairy won the fan voting? I don't really keep up with the metagame in Japan, but I know sometimes it's a little different since they have some cards that are never released in the US.
I rolled Yamato and Chiyome earlier in the year and I can't really find a use for them - Yamato especially. He's my only Hero god, so I'd like to try him out, but I can't even find another person who leads with him so I haven't bothered investing in him.
Is he a popular leader or sub in Japan?
Only explanation I can think of is that Minervahavers really want themselves more orb changers. The selection for survey dungeons recently have been pretty slim since stuff like the Warons or ladybugs haven't been made eligible for voting yet so the more fringe cases have been winning I think.
I posted a handful of pages back in the thread about Yamato and his capability as a leader. Red is an extremely strong color for Hero teams since you can slot a very low CD echidna into your team without impact. Get a bunch of orb changers slotted into the team, introduce his Ultimate awakening and I can see him being just as good as Pandora on any dungeon that isn't heavy Water.
I would have preferred other cards to win the vote but I'm excited to use him. I rolled him way back, maxed him and have never once used him. The change brings more solid leads to the game.
Thinking about subs to pair with his team are really easy, Red Valk, Gigas, Phoenix knight, Horus, Uriel, Awoken or regular Hera-Ur, Dino Rider, Leilan, Goemon, etc etc.
I just really want to try the playstyle, it seems fun.
