Like my previous article, this question is one that depends entirely on whether we’re talking about Neo-Standard or Standard. So first let’s talk about Neo-Standard.

The set we’ll be going with for this question is BanG Dream, and again we have one very important card:

As you can probably guess, we’re going to make use of her first effect. And we’re going to do it twice! We’ll find out how much power we’re giving by determining what the highest possible number of events we can stuff in our waiting room is. To do this, let’s determine which cards we need that aren’t events.

Since Rimi can only give power to another character, we have to choose a character with a high base power. This card gains +5000 power on your turn as long as you have four or more other Music characters.

Since we need 4 other characters for that +5000 boost, we might as well make both back row cards assist cards for an extra +4000 boost.

Finally, we need 1 to 5 cards to attack to build us 6 stock for our 5 cards on stage. It doesn’t really matter what they are, and they would probably get sent to waiting room in any real game, but who cares?!

That’s all for our non-event cards. Including the 3 cards in level zone that we need, and 2 cards in deck to stop us from refreshing when we attack with the second Rimi, while hoping all of the level zone and deck cards are the attackers we used, that totals 10 cards. That leaves 40 spots for event cards in our waiting room. At 4x each event, we would need 10 different types of events. Does BanG Dream have 10 different events? Yes it most certainly does! Here’s a list of all of them in English:

There’s even more in Japanese. So take your pick of any events you want. It doesn’t matter which ones, we’re just trying to get power here.

But wait! Let’s take a look at those event cards we just listed…

This event can be played on our turn and then it goes to waiting room. So if we play 4x this event on Kasumi, that’s an extra 8000 power! There are other events that give power, but if we start our turn with 7 cards, draw 1, and then clock and draw 2, that only gives us 9 cards.

That’s all the cards we need, so let’s total up our numbers.

Kasumi: 10,000+5000=15,000

Rimi: 2x40x1500=120,000

Saya: 2×2000=4000

Event: 4×2000=8000

Total: 147,000

“Wow, that’s a lot. But how much would it be if we were playing Standard instead of Neo-Standard?”

The answer to this question is… well, honestly, really difficult to calculate. To add on to my previous article, there are some cards that give power equal to 1000x the number of soul the target has. So just based on the what we calculated before, that’s already an obscenely high number. Then there are some brainstormers out there that give power for each climax hit. So if you manage to keep brainstorming a whole bunch of times and keep hitting climaxes, you’re gonna get way more power.

Neo-Standard Honorable Mention: Milky Holmes

If we could magically have 48 stock, 1 card in deck, and this on the field, we could use this Act ability 16 times to get her up to 130,500 power.

As always, thanks for reading and let me know if there’s anything I missed. Bye!
