TD08 Liberator of the Sanctuary and TD09 Eradicator of the Empire (released last January 26 in Japan and October 4 for the English) introduced the new support cards for the Gold Paladin and Narukami clan showcasing their new units from the third season of the anime, the "Liberators" (Gold) and the "Eradicators" (Narukami). Along these new sub-clans or the archetypal updrade of the two (2) clans, is the new mechanic called as "Break Rides". A mechanic that would further push the current shape of the meta and define a new age of gameplay. A time of crossrides and breakrides

So what is a Break Ride? To start off, it's not a crossride, it's more or less like a "re-ride" of your grade 3 vanguard. Break Ride is a Limit Break ability (meaning that it can only activate when the controller has already four (4) damage) wherein when another grade 3 (of the same clan) rides over the breakride unit, it gains a "powercreep"  or an Over-powering sklill and a +10000 power boost. All breakrides so far give the riding vanguard a +10000 power. The only thing that this will differ in is in the type of clan that is being used.

Essence:

Why Breakrides?

Its beacause of that +10000 power that really makes breakrides so broken. A vanguard can constantly hit 20k+ powerlines which is just SO painful to the opponent. This enforces Prefect guards from hs/her hand. What most people will be looking forward to do with this is repeatedly ride your Break rides and gain their skills for up to 2-4 times in a game and finally riding your main vanguard after the third or fourth breakride (depending on the number of copies that you are bringing in your deck) in order to fully utilize their full potential and capacity.

Do note that with this in our mind, self-standing vangurads can now be even more deadlier. Whenever they would restand, they would still have with them the power of vanguard and the trigger boosts that gave extra criticals. Spectral Duke Dragon on its own can be very dangerous and lethal to the meta, posing so huge of a threat that it could be the perfect counter for Link Joker. Still, with the meta being composed of crossrides, this will definitely change our perspective and is VERY relevant\to our curiosity and critical thinking analyses about the game.That is all for now.
