Apprentice Chef Rook Card Analysis

Basics

To start with the basics, Rook is a SR card. He’s a Defense unit, has a max HP of 12,306, and a max attack of 3,721. His HP is insane, being above the SR and all cards averages. His attack because of that is low, as we all expected.

Spells

On the spells-side of things, he’s got Flame Blast and Leaf Shot 2 in that order.

Exam Rankings

For exams, I’d give him a B for flora exams, X for fire, and F for water.

Skills

This card has power drain. On spell 1 at level 1, he has a minor power drain on foes for 1 turn. At level 5, it’s for 3 turns. Like a lot of these cards, he has nothing on his spell 2.

DUO Magic and Buddies

Rook has Cater as a buddy, with a buddy bonus of a modest HP boost. His other buddy is Ortho with a minor power boost.

Build Guide

To Groovy Rook, you'll need to spend 3 Huntsman Candy after hitting those requirements we talked about earlier. For maxing out his spells, he needs red and green items.
I'd build spell 1 first since his skill is on that spell. Since nothing is on his spell 2 and it doesn't upgrade or anything, it feels lower priority to me.

Comps

When it comes to similar cards to this Rook, we have Beans Camo Vil. They're defense, have fire spell 1s, Leaf Shot 2, and power drain. Vil however, doesn't share any buddies with Rook which I think is the biggest downside to him, but overall, fairly close. Another option is Nightmare Suit Jade. They're defense, have Flame Blast, Cater as a buddy, and have power drain. Jade has a flora spell instead of Void Shot 2, which isn't terrible but it's not matching so that kind of sucks. But he's very similar to Rook and I'm not gonna lie he's my favorite between him and Vil.

Teammates

So for potential teammates, he gives buddy bonuses to Dorm Epel, Dorm Cater, Dorm Vil, and Masquerade Riddle. While he gives Apprentice Chef Cater a buddy bonus, he also receives one. And same with Nightmare Courier Ortho. He gives and gets bonuses, although keep in mind this card isn't in EN yet. It should be coming this October so like in a few months, but still. 

Final Thoughts

This Rook will be nice for budget HP padding for teams. If you're a Cater fan, this might be a nice card to have. I know I brought up Dorm Cater earlier but spells-wise he should work with Diner Uniform Cater, although Rook's the one receiving that bonus and not Cater but still. When it comes to downsides, his only skill is a bit basic which sucks, and his attack is low. I would say the best thing about him is his HP, definitely.

SSR Birthday Bloom Idia Card Analysis

    Basics Idia is a SSR Attack unit. His max HP is 10,503 and his max attack is 6,665. Idia’s stats are solid. Great, even. Y’all know I look at the all cards averages and then just SSRs, and Idia’s stats are above all those averages except for one. His HP is below average for SSRs, but everything else is above average. That’s really good. Spells His spell 1 is Aqua Wave, his spell 2 is Fire Shot 2 and later Flame Blast 2, and his spell 3 is Void Shot 2. Exam Rankings When it comes to exams, I'd give this card a C for flora exams, B for fire, and D for water.

On spell 1 at level 1, he has a minor water boost to allies for 1 turn. At level 5, it’s modest, and at level 10, it maxes out at major. On spell 3, he starts off with nothing.

The Harveston Sledathon Event Guide

Intro Kelkkarotu is here! I really love this event even though it took me 40 fucking polls just to get SR Sebek and I never did get Epel. Fun fact, this was the event that introduced the arrange feature, the one where you choose how characters wear like, their ceremonial robes with the hoods on or off, that feature. This event is super cute, so let's chat about it. Overview This is another stamp rally/hometown event and this time we're visiting Epel's hometown of Harveston. Players will have digital stamp cards to fill out and you get a stamp for completing a mission. Doing all the missions on a stamp card will get you a magical key. You'll also earn clocks from this and those can be used in the event shop. The other event item is apple pies. Get those from lessons and they can be used in the event shop or  raising spell levels, etc, etc. There's no battle for this event thank God. It has 2 twistunes, though. There's 5 books in the story, but that's typica...
