Next Generation VG

The new season of Vanguard is here with its new Stride, G-assist and Generation break mechanics.

Stride is a very interesting mechanic because it is as good as having an early breakride with very minimal requirements.
Its main flaw is that it is very undercosted for what it does since it replaces itself with an extra drive check but has an additional 15k worth of attack stacked on, making it much harder to guard.

If they start slapping powerful abilities unto these, it will look pretty nasty because these are by far the most accessible cards in the game and would allow one to recreate the same games with a high degree of consistency.

The biggest winner is Commander Laurel who can turn a triple drive into a hexadrive and that is really not funny. 

G-Assist is really good since you can get out of a grade lock faster with minimal costs and generation break as a mechanic is interesting because it requires you to stride before you can use it and anything above gb1 means that you will probably see it work rather late into the game. Potentially more powerful

The flow of the game has vastly changed again and I think that those clans that are not vg-centric have the most to gain with stride since the G-unit is gonna at least be really fat and pressuring. I foresee the faster clans to be able to make full advantage of this.

Below is the new numbers to take note of:

So the math for a triple check is as follows (under the assumption that 1/3 of the deck is triggers):
The most common is 1 trigger which is about 44% of the time, as suggested by the one-in-three cards odds. This is followed by a no trigger at 30%.
Collectively, approximately 75% of the time, there will only be a maximum of 1 trigger from a triple drive check. This also means that 1 in 4 games where you take on a triple check, you will get hit by at least a double trigger and 1 in 25 games, you will get hit by a triple trigger.

Looking forward to getting a set of 8 G-units and the Dotx
