Talk:Bal Dragon, "Bal Burst Smasher!!"/@comment-24971427-20160427102102/@comment-4167259-20160507061818

Yay, we'r'e good!

But do notice that the Worlds that do have access to damage nullification and counter-call redirection happen to be on the short end of the meta stick, and this now includes Kaizerion whose Mach Braver can do nothing against Penetrate.

Now regarding the thing about Omni Lords being fair stat-wise due to their accessibility to other Worlds that normally don't have a lot of Base Stat Total to work with, such as 5th Omni Drum in Magic World, my counter to that is that certain Omni Lords, specifically the aforementioned 5th Omni Drum, also has a lot to account for in terms of stats and abilities.

For comparison:

Drum Bunker Dragon: 5000/3/5000 Soulguard, costs 1 Gauge

Gust Charging Dragon: 6000/3/3000, costs nothing

5th Omni Drum: 6000/3/5000 Soulguard, pops a monster when damaged, costs 1 Gauge

We shall be comparing GCD with 5OD:

1) So you pay 1 Gauge to get 2000 increase in defense. Check.

2) Cannot be called to the center, I suppose, pays for the 1000 increase in attack.

3) So what pays for the +1 you get from getting damaged? The 6 life requirement? Hardly a payment considering by the time you get this out, you will be already at 6 life or when you get hit by something, it'll be enough to get you down to 6 life. Cannot be called to the center? You were going to do that anyway.

4) And Omni Lord? Do you pay for that? Yes you should, because it's an ability that allows the higher Base Stat Total normally inaccessible to your World become available, which in most cases would be a +1, if you put it in Magic or Katana World.

So how much is 5th Omni Drum's debt? A reasonable 4 gauge worth compared to Bal Burst Smasher's 7 gauge.

Mathematically, Bal Burst Smasher still wins. But point being, Omni Lords are actually not "fair" by calculations. Although really, 1st Omni Ziun is the one who gets shafted as he's the only one whose Omni Lord status does not put him over the rest of the monsters in his native World.
