Cardfight-- Vanguard Dear Days -nsp--update 1.7... Page

Usefulness: For the budget-conscious player (especially those using an NSP copy offline), this reduces the need to rely on external save editors. You can now realistically build 2-3 top-tier decks (e.g., Bastion, Magnolia, or Greedon) within 15-20 hours of focused play—down from 60+ pre-patch. Competitive Vanguard lives and dies by timing windows and “on-place” vs. “on-call” triggers. Prior to 1.7, Dear Days automated certain phases too aggressively, leading to situations where you could not activate a skill in the correct window (e.g., choosing drive check order vs. trigger effects). Update 1.7 introduces Enhanced Hold Trigger (a setting allowing you to manually confirm each timing step) and corrects several skill resolutions for the Nirvana Jheva and Youthberk decks.

When “Cardfight!! Vanguard Dear Days” launched on the Nintendo Switch (via NSP/eShop) and PC, it was met with a divided reception. Fans praised its faithful adaptation of the OverDress and will+Dress standards, but criticized its grindy economy, limited launch card pool, and lack of true endgame. Update 1.7 (released in late 2024/early 2025 depending on region) was never marketed as a revolutionary expansion. Instead, it functions as a critical “quality-of-life pivot”—one that transforms the game from a frustrating simulation into a genuinely useful training tool for competitive Vanguard players. 1. The Economy Fix: From Chore to Playable The original Dear Days infamously required hundreds of hours to unlock all cards without paid DLC. Update 1.7 addresses this directly. While not eliminating the grind entirely, the patch significantly increases CP (Craft Points) payouts for CPU battles and online matches. More importantly, it introduces a “Weekly Booster” mission system that rewards a full playset of a featured archetype for simply playing a handful of games.
