[Event] Participate in the Clear Event
Lost on the first play andAfter playing a few times, I finally cleared it.I only took a screenshot of the clear screen and couldn't take a picture of the deck.I had cleared it once, but it felt like a blow to my pride to count it as uncleared, so I cleared it again.Operation codename: Loan came up, and it was good to be able to transform early if the transformation card appeared.For the operation, I first deployed drones and either focused fire with drones or transformed depending on the situation.Serval's surveillance mode was good in the final battle.The final boss kept summoning drones, and it was good that it took 4 damage each time.I thought about giving Serval a buff with the consecutive attack drone, but I forgot.It was fun.

[Event] Map clear is too insufficient.
As soon as Serval passes, they lose due to insufficient map clear ability..I thought the options to strengthen with HP penalties would either become 1/60 or not be strengthened, but it immediately results in mission failure.It seems like it will definitely be easier than now once the untranslated parts are translated and the translated parts become smoother, so I am very much looking forward to it.

[Event] The universe is taken over by pirates.
If you don't deal with the countless enemy drones in the Triglav battle, they will continue to strengthen their attack power, and you will be sunk by the terrifying attack power of the drones in the middle row.Therefore, drones or units that can deal overall damage are essential. So, by continuously supplying cards with support units, protect the main ship as much as possible You need to clear the field with cards that can deal overall damage.Serval -> UN Sword-Fire, although improvisation is needed, such as overcoming one-time burst damage with coatings as much as possible, first reinforce my deck and fieldLet's aim for victory with cards that clear the enemy field as much as possible.

[Event] If you defeat the final boss [Triglav]โโ Event Participation
To refine my deck, I went to the shop as much as possible and removed the basic drones and bombing cards that were given for free.As a result, I was able to use one of the efficient drone placements, drone placement+, or drone factory each turn. These cards, which deploy 3 drones, are truly versatile. They take hits and attack, so I think they fit the character's concept. Of course, these 3 cards might not always be drawn into the automatic draw each turn, but instead of the disappointment of drawing a card, one of Courage, Circulation Device, or Supply Unit+ could be drawn. By utilizing these cards as well, I succeeded in deploying about 3 drones each turn .I thought I needed at least one area-of-effect card, so I chose and upgraded the Sacrifice Breakthrough card. Thanks to this, I was able to maximize the effect of Serval, which counters the boss's summon gimmick that I'll write about below.When Serval is set to "Intercept Mode," she deals direct damage to the boss every time the enemy summons drones, so it's no exaggeration to say that Serval dealt most of the damage. I also utilized Pilot Duncan, who is placed in front of the allied main unit and blocks damage once, to block a lot of the enemy's damage.I chose chips that enhance the effects of the drones deployed each turn. It was a satisfying choice as it fit the deck's concept.The multi-attack module drone cards were not very necessary. They are good to use, but I rarely had enough energy to use them.I chose the "Display Energy Procurement" chip because the opposite chip felt more like a debuff. I think most people would agree.I chose the "Operation Codename: Combat Losses+" chip because I thought the other two options were worse. I considered it worse than a 20-point reduction in maximum HP.I kept the "Stairway of Sorrow" and "Nova Awakening" cards, thinking that when I had too many drones deployed and no space left, I could destroy allied drones to gain buffs and then deploy new ones. However, in the final boss battle, a lot of attacks came in, so I had plenty of space and didn't use them. They were a "chicken and egg" card in the final boss fight.I had a lot of fun, and I thought the difficulty was appropriate. Isn't the core fun of roguelike games like this failing, trying again, and finally defeating the final boss? I failed a few times in the middle, but I kept trying and eventually succeeded. The difficulty was not frustrating, and the charm that made me want to play again was great.

[BugReport] This is the untranslated part in Korean..!
This is the explanation part for Pirate March and Optical Camouflage Fighter I took screenshots of parts that were not translated during the game Although I couldn't take a screenshot The card used by Triglav also had an untranslated explanation!

The Triglav boss stage was the most difficult for me My drone attacks didn't work due to the barrier Since I'm a drone deck, my drones needed to survive, but the opponent's area-of-effect attacks wiped them out I couldn't strengthen my drones..ใ I tried to hit the boss itself as much as possible, but it was no use (all my drones were wiped out ใ ใ )It's a terrifying enemy that uses area-of-effect attacks frequently.It was fun!

[BugReport] Cannot proceed with tutorial
I don't know the cause of the bug.I'm not exactly sure, but when I dragged a card to the designated slot to summon the consecutive attack drone, it didn't summon and the card returned to my hand.Then, several cards were drawn into my hand at the same time, and after that, no operations worked.

[Event] I am participating in the event.
My first attempt failed at the final 6th floor boss battle.The deck was not biased to one side, but was an all-rounder deck with a proper mix of drones and fighters,but as I couldn't specialize or concentrate firepower, I felt my strength gradually waning.My second attempt was done using the Japanese version.This was because the Korean translation was not smooth and there were many untranslated parts, which hindered gameplay.Personally, I thought the Japanese version had a smoother translation.This time, unlike the first attempt, there were only a total of 4 floors, which was somewhat puzzling. Where did the difference come from?Anyway, in this run, I chose the option [Double card enhancement and direct access to the 1st floor boss battle] from the initial combat preparation card selection,but this actually made me feel like I hadn't reinforced my deck enough, and after a drawn-out battle, I was eventually eliminated at the 4th floor boss battle.It was a floor I had cleared very easily on my first attempt, so I thought that card was actually a trap card!๐ฑI wanted to aim for clearing the boss, but due to the player's current back health issues,I couldn't sit for long at all, so I ended up playing only this far ใ ใ

I tried to play persistently and clear it, but maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of deck-building genres...I kept getting stuck at the second chapter boss.I had roughly figured out a build that involved creating many drones, but the most difficult part was dealing with the boss when it also spawned multiple monsters.

[Event] Clear and Impressions
Due to translation issues, I judged it difficult to specialize in any type of unit or to follow a build path that combines something, soI chose cards with high rank, high stats, and good cost-effectiveness,while removing bad basic units and artillery fire as much as possible,I was able to clear by preserving my health as much as possible by avoiding battles.The four most crucial cards gathered, so I took a picture. To explain the tacticality of each,- With the Filter Unit+, I drew for free while replenishing drones on the field I was able to easily find and summon high-cost units. It felt a bit like a cheat card.- With the Specialized Armor Structure+, I could defend against 3 or more hits from the front, buying time for other units to deploy.- With Drone Deployment+, I could provide an instant increase in unit count and firepower, so I even upgraded it.- Finally, with the power of TM31R and the diverse skill choices according to strategy, most difficult situations could be overcome.In the final battle,When the enemy units suddenly increased, the strategy of using TM31R's skills to wipe out all the enemies seemed to have worked effectively.Because of this, I was able to gain turns to swap and stably deploy the drones to win.I liked that the card utility and battle balance felt appropriately adjusted.Once the translation issues are resolved, I would like to try playing with other specialized decks.Considering the game's direction, game design, and art style as a whole,I think it's quite a masterpiece among deck-building games.

[Event] Cleared~!
I like mecha and deckbuilding, so I enjoyed this game that combines them.First, I picked up a chip that pumps energy,while trying to eliminate basic drones and bombardments as much as possible,I managed to hold on by deploying 2/1 drones in the 2-cost, 1-row slot, and then installed main drones in the left/right and rear positions.I used a strategy of equipping the main drones with Promotion Order + Multi-Attack Pilot to gain an advantage.In the early game, I needed some time to endure while taking hits,but once I got set up, I could deal with the enemy drones as they appeared, and I mostly won through comebacks.Multi-attack was really good.It would be a decent game if a bit more deckbuilding fun was added!!

[Event] Cleared!
Actually, since the stage was short, I cleared it with the cards I had in my existing deck rather than building a deck with specific cards.My personal key cards were mainly three: 'Supply Unit+', 'TM31R', and 'Nova Awakening'.First, the Supply Unit, when enhanced, allows you to draw 3 cards for practically free and also has attack power, so I used it as a must-have card.TM31R, when summoned, had an area-of-effect card among the special cards, which was very useful for clearing out the opponent's miscellaneous monsters.Furthermore, since it deals damage to the entire row it's located in, I placed it in the front row center to continuously chip away at the enemy units' health.Coupled with the pilot Juka Marconi, it could attack twice, which was especially good.Lastly, the Nova Awakening card was not primarily used to increase attack power, but rather when there were many enemies on the opponent's field and no area-of-effect skills were available to deal with them,I used Nova Awakening to become invincible for one turn upon transformation, thus buying myself a turn.In fact, during the clear turn, my health was critically low, but by using Nova Awakening to buy a turn,I switched to a defensive stance by summoning TM31R, and then dealt damage to Triglav as the opponent's monsters were defeated, allowing me to clear the stage.I enjoyed playing the game!

[Event] Clear certification + bug found
I went with a strategy of starting with 3 weaklings through loans and drawing as much as possible to transform on the first turn.The last boss dealt area damage at the start of the game, killing all the weaklings, which countered my strategy a bit, but it wasn't that difficult anyway.After the boss battle, when selecting an option that decreases maximum HP during reward acquisition (I don't understand why there are penalty-only items in rewards in the first place), it is processed as if current HP decreased, causing a bug where the game ends during reward acquisition. If I had pressed to heal HP first instead of pressing to receive all rewards, I obviously wouldn't have died, so I believe it's a bug rather than an intended feature.
