Interestingly, you showed this concept in your gameplay during the strategy section, but you didnt actually mention it - a very simple mindset is "Corner is King". Corners should be your priority to capture, because enemies can only neutralize you, not flank you. From there, you want to build your defense by capturing the sides (if the enemy does not have easy flanks laid out). Using this trick, I only lost once after the tutorial in my very first battle (because I still had no idea what I was doing), and after that, it was easy victory all the way! I haven't gotten very far into the game yet so I'm not sure if later cards can destroy this strategy, but where I am currently the AI doesn't seem smart enough to avoid your pieces and capture other corners. They seem to try to attack my corner pieces, giving me very easy flanks.
And you sir, get your comment pinned. Absolutely true. If I'm honest, I think that I learned corners were so strong subconsciously, then actively played it out without really taking note of it, hence why I never talked about it in this video. That said, awesome tips man.
This is really important for starting players to know. That you cannot flank the outer rows unless you take the corners. If you take an entire outer row, you've essentially made it near impossible to be flanked as long as you keep playing cards close to that row. It also makes it really easy to punish the enemy with your own flanks.
I would only add one caveat: wraparound will break you if you’re not prepared. There’s one opponent in the chapter 3 area that gave me no end of trouble. If it wasn’t No Keepsies, I would have lost so many cards. I ended up just grinding a bunch of points off a C rank, then clearing out the Wraparound nuisance in one final game. I think I’m scarred now...
Would it be possible to flank a corner piece with the wraparound ruleset? Last night i was losing over and over to the dude at Wizwald that uses Galahad. It seemed like that's what he was doing, I had corners and everything and yet he was converting my entire board with one card sometimes.
I'm glad I got lucky in most of the times I bungled a match and lost. Those Safe spots on the loser wheel are nice. After filling out the card binder it was neat to see how strong the Freelancer job card became.
Horton is certainly one of the best cards. Martha is really good too- gives you a random square at the end of your opponent's turn. Black mage is fantastic too.
I absolutely hate card games and I absolutely hate whoever had the bright ides to hide progression behind this extremely obnoxious and terrible card game bullshit
Im rank B and i cannot beat the witch at the 3rd village. After the sewers you can play against her but i kept being owned. Maybe you can do some guides about all the difficult players
Ooh yeah, she's TOUGH! She plays the Wrap around Rule correct? The BEST thing to do in that situation, is ELIMINATE as much as you can no matter what. I think she also uses the Galahad Fortification card. Suuuper annoying. Don't play defensively in that one, because the computer is better at flanking then we are in that case...instead, ANY card that she puts down that you're able to take out in 1 hit, do it. The big take away here is to figure out what strategy the opponent uses to win, and take that away from them.
Thank you! You really broke down B n D and explained it in a way that I could understand. I just didn't get it at allllll. The way the game itself explained it wasn't helpful at all. I was getting so frustrated trying to play. I'm so glad I found your video! Finally won my first match lol
I'm really glad to hear this! Had a friend that told me "I don't know why you made that video in the first place, didn't the tutorial do a good enough job?" I said to him... "no. no it didn't." I'm glad to hear that you got a lot out of this video!
Now play the old lady by the bar over and over. Take all her cards. Especially bard. Then move on to the kid on the right by the poker table. Take horten and gelfaten or whatever that green monsters name is. Very useful cards
I noticed after watching this that the whole Mini-game of BnD embraces the games philosophy for battle as well. You can see braveing and defaulting have similar parallels in the card game. Also the short name "BnD" is even more obvious. Pretty clever when you think about it though. I wonder if that was intentional from the start
This game is pissing me off. I'll have them completely surrounded and still can't take squares. Yet they'll do a single card and take every square I have on the board no matter where it is.
I’m loving your Bravely Default 2 tutorials and will honestly watch whatever content you put out there. These have helped a ton so far. I’d love to see a video going over some basic team comps and passive combos. Keep up the great work!
Niiiice. Thanks for the feedback. I'm still in my first play through, but I'll definitely be doing these types of videos. How far are you into the game if ya don't mind me asking.
@@JRPG-Mickey not nearly far enough. Full time job and family’s kept me busy and I’m only 10 hours into the game. Still on chapter one, just got Prince Castor as a companion, but spent quite a bit of time having fun grinding out the freelancer jobs for the JP boosts.
@@JacaboBlanco I don't feel challenge by the card game. FF series has more challenging mini games. But I just don't know if something happens if you collect all cards...
Man...you hit the nail on the head with the in-game tutorial, haha! I was totally lost, playing sloppy offense when I first started. Your video REALLY shed some light on the mechanics. Thanks for sharing! :)
Awesome to see feedback like this. Super dope to see someone from the FGC commenting on my videos too...I left the scene in 2011 or so, with my main roots being back in Cvs2, and eventually into SF4. Cheers man!
Please make a guide going over the jobs in the order they're gained! You could show off the stat changes of each job, the best abilities, possibile job/ability combinations, etc. That would be SUPER helpful.
Awesome to know. I think I might be able to finish by tomorrow. Keep letting me know how far you are, so I know what jobs to do a guide on. I'll be shouting ya out in the video!
@@JRPG-Mickey Wow awesome thanks! I think that'll be a really helpful video for everyone :) You don't have to worry about spoiling things for me though if that's why you're asking about where I am in the story!
@@Flareboxx Oh good to hear. Yeah I'm interested in where people are in the game specifically because it helps to know what to make guides on say...the beginning of the game, end game, things like that.
Haven't watched video yet but this helped me a lot. Play the opponent. After doing that once, look at their deck. Take note of the monster types, etc. Then build your deck to counter theirs, and protect yours from their debuffs etc. Pretty easy after that

thanks! you literally saved me, i was retrying so many times 😅
I love the ff8 card game theme
2:10 starts FFIX card game song. Love it!! lol
bruh u saved my ass, subscribed. As soon as you said "best defense over offense..take up space..." My life got easier lmfao , thank you!
Hell yeah man. Happy to see comments like this help people out. Cheers man!

I like the Red Mage card! A second turn for free! Buff card.
Horton is the worst card in a going second deck
@@JRPG-Mickey try out the Shieldbearer card (default- returns to hand if you go first, once.)

playing the perimeter makes a world of difference!

Keep this going! I'd love to see Advanced tips and tricks with B&D!
Is this the card music from FF8
That's amazing you posted. And yes, it is!
@@JRPG-Mickey Triple Triad was so good! Easily the best part of FF8. If they made a standalone TT game I would totally buy it.

Shirley looks like Mad Moxxi's red-heading sister.
This game is pissing me off. I'll have them completely surrounded and still can't take squares. Yet they'll do a single card and take every square I have on the board no matter where it is.
How do you face off against Shirley? I grinded to rank A and long have taken everyone's cards as well. She still says I need more experience....
Okay, now I want to play Triple Triad again. Godammit
Man thank you! This video was more than helpful. I hit that like button HARD!

I've played this so many times and I still can't get anywhere with it. This cars game is fucking stupid
Playing the ffviii card music was a nice touch
Interesting choice of background music. Squally and co. Thanks you
Wew it took me 5x tries to beat that Shirley in this card game very frustrating tbh haha
Is that triple triad music in the background
I am only using the initial cards with shirley, humanoids and spirit. With horton. Then I don’t change until now.
Also use Orpheus against her to counter her shirley cards effects
@@JacaboBlanco I don't feel challenge by the card game. FF series has more challenging mini games. But I just don't know if something happens if you collect all cards...

KoFXV is a month away, and the netcode is - brace for this - AWESOME!!! lol
Is that the card game sound. This sounds like FFIX card game theme.
You got it!
Nice FF8 Card Game Music in the Background :D
I found it pretty suitable!
You have a great voice.
Subscribed because DAT TUNE!
XD
Hah! You know it duuu!
I gave you a like for the music alone.
Signed an FF8 fan
Hail Triple Triad!
Ff9 PTSD 🥵
Sounds like you are playing Triple Triads instead.
Is it worth it after getting gamble?
question. when u lose a match and lost a card, how to get it back?
The card will go back to the player you got the card from. You'll need to beat then again to get it back.
save before + load your game lol
@@jhon1406 100% Truth right here.
Jhon , Thank goddess for no Auto Save lol.
Thank you so much for making this video. It explained alot.
Your tutorial helped me alot. Thanks =D
Wow this is really helpful, thanks! Youre amazing. Im gonna go ahead and sub now. Several videos have helped me today.
I really appreciate that! Thanks for checking out the channel
I was able to win and get the gambler but I still feel like there is a lot I needed to learn

The music though...! ^^
Great vid!

Then build your deck to counter theirs, and protect yours from their debuffs etc.
Pretty easy after that
this card game sucks so card on ice, ti´s unfair and hard and the npc in the game are cheaters, waste of time
Im 60 hours into the game and haven't seen BnD yet.. is this normal?
