Legacy Placement Model

Fortune: Double unit placements

Open conflict: legacy economy data says Fortune/The Lovers can add placements, while Trello path text describes different effects.

Recommended Units

KyitoESSENTIALMain DPS

Legacy recommendation for Virtual Realm. Canonical identity is Kriatu; Duelist rate/effect comes from canonical trait data.

Canonical: Kriatu | Likely | Checked 2026-07-06

Trait: Duelist (0.8%) - Likely

🛒
Speed CartESSENTIALEconomy

Canonical identity is Fastcart. Extra placement strategy remains legacy-derived because VR card effects are in conflict.

Trait: Fortunate (1%) - Likely

Virtual IdolHIGHBuffer

Buffs are still crucial. Make sure Kyito is in range.

Step-by-Step Strategy

1

Card Selection Priority

Use the Trello path text as the current reference. Double-placement claims are legacy-derived and should be treated as review-needed.

2

Reset for Good Cards

If your starting cards do not support your planned path, consider resetting. Do not treat any specific card effect as confirmed unless it is verified in-game.

3

Stack Similar Cards

If you pick The Lovers, try to keep picking similar cards. Consistency in your build is important.

4

Economy First

Place Speed Cart/Fastcart early. Extra Speed Cart placement is a legacy economy model assumption until the VR card conflict is resolved.

5

Kyito is King

Kyito with Duelist trait should be your main carry. Position him where he can hit the most enemies.

Hard Mode Tips

Hard Mode Warnings

  • Hard mode strategy is still review-needed; avoid relying on a single unverified card interaction
  • Economy is important, but 2-Speed-Cart placement is legacy-derived until the card conflict is resolved
  • Kyito/Kriatu with Duelist is a legacy recommendation, not a confirmed requirement
  • Don't be afraid to reset for better starting cards

Keys to Success

  • Compare Fortune/Lovers against the current Trello path text before committing the run
  • Kyito/Kriatu + Duelist remains the guide's current recommendation
  • Extra Speed Cart strategy is labeled legacy-derived until verified
  • Virtual Idol buff coverage is crucial
  • Consistency in card selection matters
