Greetings, to all Battle Spirits (refer as BS below) users
I am the new BS Producer, Nashimoto.

As announced earlier, the previous producer, Yakki, has been transferred to another department, leaving the BS related department. I will be taking over the role of producer from today onwards. Yakki was taking on the role of Yellow Guardian and Producer, the role of Yellow Guardian will be taken over by Nagisa Kakegawa and I’ll take over as the Producer.

I have not shown my face on any of the programs, but I had overseen BS products and promotions thus far. I will continue to work hard to give every BS player better products and service. Please continue to take care of me in the future.

We will be taking about [The Contract Saga Vol.2 Liberation of god] and the upcoming products and events in this volume of Producer’s message.

[The Contract Saga Vol.2 Liberation of God]

[The Contract Saga Vol.2 Liberation of God]

[The Contract Saga Vol.2 Liberation of God] went on sale on 27 August 2022!
In [First Partner], the 6 pieces of [Contract Spirit Card] that [Wanderer Dan] met in the new world [Regulus (Tentative name)] was featured. It provided players with [Contract card] and

The [Contract Saga] which was a chapter opened by [First Partner], and [Liberation of God] will be having 2 additional [Contract Spirit Card] being featured. The 2 [Contract Spirit Card] will be different from Gurova and friends as they did not form a contract with [Wanderer Dan], appearing as the rival of [Wanderer Dan]. Please experience the world view of BS to understand what kind of existence are they and why are they opposing [Wanderer Dan].

カード

For players to enjoy the battles in [Contract Saga] even more, we increased the hit rate of the 6 Contract Spirit cards in [First Partner]. In addition, to let players get familiar with the using of Contract cards and counters, we intentionally simplified the counter gaining effects.

From Vol.2 onwards, we are planning to include 2 types of Contract X rare cards in every volume, these contract spirit cards will have a different counter gain method and strategy as compared to [First Partner].

For example, [Partner Musha, Oboro], which is featured in Vol.2, is played in the [Cursed Contract] deck gets more advantage by destroying spirit/ultimate cards. There are effects that allows you to destroy your own spirit/ultimate cards instead of your opponent’s. In addition, the [Cursed Contract] deck has many cards with [When this spirit is destroyed] effects, which allows you to build your winning strategy by destroying your own spirit cards. It would also be interesting for players to try adding the present cards with [When this spirit is destroyed] effects in the deck.

Then, the other Contract spirit card [Partner Bug, Guadal] gains counter when you summon green only spirit cards through effects or them, which lets you gain counters during attack step through the Green’s first key ability [High Speed] as the base of this deck. By summoning through [High Speed] and during attack step, you can gain counters while confusing your opponent, it requires the battlers to have a high level of battle tactics to attain victory.

As described above, the upcoming [Contract card deck] will achieve new strategies using the mechanic to add [Contract card] into your starting hand. Using [Contract card] and effects in the game thus far together will give birth to new strategies. Please look forward to them!

With regards to the hit rate of [Contract card], it will return to normal rates from [Liberation of God], the types of [Contract card] will also be reduced to 2 instead of 6. This is so that the hit rate of [Contract card] will not have a big change, we seek your understanding.

Of course, there will be many cards that can be played together partner decks in [First Partner], Mugen, Ian and Choco decks from [Bonds of Infinity] and Premium Card Set. Vol.3 will continue to strengthen the contract spirit decks from [First Partner], please be assured even though the recorded cards in this set is lesser.
The [Tri Dragon Deity] cards announced previously will be revived and included as campaign promotional cards. For fans that love the ultimate cards, do not miss this chance! There will also be a joint illustrated artwork for the [Tri Dragon Deity] like [(SD36) The Internal Bram-Zand]! Please look forward to it!

Product Information

《『The Contract Saga Vol.3 Rise of Rivals』》

『The Contract Saga Vol.3 Rise of Rivals』

[Rise of Rivals] is scheduled to be on sale in October as Vol.1 was released in May, which was later as compared to previous trends, Vol.3 would be on sale in just 2 months after Vol.2.

[Rise of Rivals] will also feature 2 types of [Contract Card] which is an opposition to [Wanderer Dan], respectively Red and Blue in colors. You can also construct different Contract card deck, there will be more details released in the future, please look forward to it!

In addition, as a box topper campaign promotion for [Rise of Rivals], the [The Three Calamity Beast] from [The Rebirth Saga Vol.2 Amazing Impact] will be reprinted. We have received different opinions on this reprint. Especially [BS53-XX02 The Three Calamity Beast, Sea Calamity Ditheiathan], we understand that this card is very strong in the current contract saga’s battling environment. However, we considered the means to deter effects when summon, and there are strategies to restrict its effects from activating, we feel that it is not dominating the battling environment.

As [The Three Disaster Beast] are XX rare cards and being released 2 years ago, players find it hard to find the cards which makes it one of the reasons that caused the current situation, hence we decided to reprint it.
Even though we are reprinting it this time, it does not guarantee that [The Three Disaster Beast] would not be listed in the Limited & Banned List. We will continue to monitor the battling environment and do the necessary changes as needed. We seek your understanding on this.
