Divine Creator of Equilibrium, Vishnu

My first pull. My little baby's all grown up and off to destroy people.

Now if only I could actually see what he looks like... -.-

Edit: Found it: http://puzdlife.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/c027_cho_ultimate_vishnu_header.jpg

Vishnu's final form looks like he just wrecked someone in a dance battle.

Vishnu went from "I'll have her back by 10 sir" to "Even your girl call me Daddy"

Extra TE is welcome and SBR helps out in wood teams that use Osiris, Awoken Parvati, Restrained Liu Bei

As expected, his extra awakenings weren't exceptional since his awakenings were exceptional already

The LS is ok. A little underwhelming compared to the rest of the pantheon, but it balances out since his awakenings are insane. unconditional attack multiplier helps out, RCV combined with access to shields like kushi and susano make him fairly sturdy, especially in coop

Look at the progression of his artwork. He starts out as what looks to be a little boy, and, through time, starts becoming more badass. It's a nice touch that I'll forever appreciate!

He already had stellar Awakenings before this evolution, but goshdarn they just made it even better. I know a fourth TPA was way too farfetched, so this was the next best thing. With a double SBR and double Time-Extension, he's now become a top-tier Wood sub (if he wasn't already).

In addition, that new Leader Skill is his biggest buff (like with the rest of the pantheon). An unconditional 2.5x ATK and 1.5x RCV makes him almost similar to the Sonias—Pirate Gronia to be exact, since she *used to* run on TPAs. However, that ATK multiplier just gets more crazy! An instant 25x ATK for just matching 2 Wood orbs, and a whopping 56.25x ATK for matching 3 Wood orbs! With a team full of TPAs, this damage is INSANE.

With those Awakenings and that Leader Skill, you can fill your team with almost any decent Wood unit. I even talked about making a Row-TPA Hybrid Vishnu team. This could maximize the amount of Wood orbs on your current board (ex. matching a Row and then TPAs if you have too many Wood orbs, etc.)

Really appreciate the second SBR!

Now that he's out, I tested the damage with no LS and otherwise equal conditions. One green tpa does more damage from Vishnu than one blue tpa from Scheat.

This was for +495 atk cards (99 plus eggs on atk) for both, no enhanced orbs to make the comparison fair (Vishnu has an oe). I made one blue tpa and one green tpa, but no other combos at all.

Vishnu does around 3% more green damage than Scheat does blue damage, because you add 10% from his sub att.

As far as I know, Vishnu is currently the strongest NA tpa card (unless there is some collab card I don't know about). Kanna or some other card will probably eclipse this very soon, but for now he is the tpa king!

HOLY WTF!?

how awesome is this guy?

just wanted to test him for the first time and i totally crushed ultimate endless corridors. (no rcv)

team:

- vishnu
- kaede
- verdandi
- verdandi
- awoken susano
- vishnu

i didn't even skill him up or gave him +eggs, i just breezed through those floors like it was nothing.

P.S.:

now i need vishnu friends: 381,536,387 (i'll hypermax him asap)

Disappointing leader skill...

Sarasvati gets 100x, and it still getting buffed. Vishnu gets... Barbarossa's leader skill except for wood instead of attacker. A super-ult is now on par with a card nobody uses as a leader, ever. Thanks Gungho.

Sup guys what's shaking Tyler here and actually what Dzydzydino had said that it can be used as a Sub because of the TPAs which is pretty nice for the team it's the truth. You can actually use it for different kind of teams that you have.

ah, I knew balanced typing was too much to hope for

RIP robin hood

Vishnu has only become an even greater sub for Kaede now! :3 He's a fast farming/damage lead in his own right, and a really versatile leader, which is great to see!

MY BODY IS READY

Went from a 3.5x lead into a 7.5x lead with a 1.5x RCV buff? So good.

he looks like archer to me

did you hit puberty or did puberty hit you

You're the Divine Creator of EQUILIBRIUM, Vishnu! Why you no have Balanced type?!? :-(

Question: Why do so many PaD illustrations look so much like the character slipped on a banana peel and is falling?

3 combos and 2 being wood = x225 damage. x56.25 damage if you only get the 3 combos...That's...exceedingly easy to pull off. Hell, this practically makes it a top tier consiering the ease of pulling it off and the sheer output. I'm impressed, but blown back by it all. This god deserves the title as such but it is quite a power creep for something so easy to pull off.

I believe he has higher tpa damage than scheat now after considering the extra 1.1x because his sub attribute is green too. Of course the double Sx and double te are awesome and make team building that much easier.

Biggest flaw is going to be binds since none of the amazing tpa subs are unbindable except for school athena and ruel with 3 tpas each. Parvati, Susano, and a few others also have two tpas, but don't generate green orbs which seems necessary for an orb hungry lead skill. (10 orbs for one tpa and max LS activation, 12 for 3 tpas. )

I think Greg has the right idea to bring something like awoken Liu Bei that is an unbindable bind clearer but also functions as a huge orb generator. For similar reasons I might bring Perseus who has the added benefit of heart making and can clear binds, but sadly is bindable.

Osiris, Valk, and a few other choice cards lack Sx awakenings, so this big guy seems to handle a lot of the heavy lifting for some very obvious subs (as Perseus does for Australis and awoken Liu Bei).

Overall very excited to rediscover tpa teams in the age of smash and grab row Giants and cross my heart and hope not to die cards.
