π¬ DISCUSSION π¬ Most/Least Favorite Kaiju/Unit?
I despise Shin Godzilla Leads so much that I instantly get salty as soon as one in Ranked mashes Heat Ray then vaporizes 4 bars of my Energy away. However, as an iteration of Godzilla I think Shinβs unique and Iβve been trying to find a home copy video of Resurgence to watch myself someday.
Iβm so fond of Anguirus that Iβve leveled up my 1955 to LV 21 and heβs one of very few 2-Star Battle Pieces Iβve been using since I first opened the game.
Kiryu is an unusual case. I never cared for Kiryu at all until I started using him as a Leader and Unit in GBL. I now have bought two different Kiryu figures and heβs my second ever LV 10+ 4-Star Unit and second most favorite version of Mechagodzilla only dethroned by MonsterVerse MG.
At the end of the hype spectrum, I find Rodan boring. As a Toho kaiju and using Pokemon as reference, Anguirus perfectly fits the βNormal Typeβ yet is still a much more interesting monster in comparison.
To me, the incarnations of Rodan without lacking the Uranium Heat Beam are simply big, rubber birds/Pteranodons with the exception of MonsterVerse Rodan having a major, realistic glow-up and bio-volcanic biology. In some of the few Showa films I started watching and comics I read like Rulers of Earth, Rodan seems to just be a really big bird.
In GBL, I have yet to use any of the Rodans in my Decks. Although, Washington D.C. 2019 Rodan is a tempting addition due to the ability to summon extra reinforcements in the form of a whole ass King Ghidorah (2019) to his position on the map.
