History Anime / CardfightVanguardVSeries

*** Base powers have been universally increased. More specifically, Grade 3 units that are in a Force clan are at a base power of 13,000, Grade 3 units in the Accel and Protect clans are at 12,000 base power.
*** Triggers have increased their power increases from 5,000 to 10,000 power. In addition, Front Triggers have been introduced giving all units in the front row an additional 10,000 power. This is meant to be a replacement for the Stand Triggers which will no longer be printed for the current Standard format. Finally, Front Triggers are currently exclusive to Accel clans.
*** Shield values have also been adjusted. Heal Trigger units are 20,000 shield, Front and Critical Trigger units are 15,000 shield, most Grade 1 units are 10,000 shield, and some Draw Triggers have the Sentinel keyword (though all sentinels are still 0 shield no matter what grade they are). Later expansions also introduced Critical Triggers with 30,000 shield and the Sentinel keyword.

*** Murakumo no longer share their focus of having multiple units with the same name with Neo Nectar as the latter focus on the newly-introduced Token mechanic which also help distinguish them from the Paladin clans. In addition, they provide some level of disruption.

*** Due to the lack of G-Units, Gear Chronicle now superior rides Grade 4 units from the deck which retires themselves at the end of the turn and re-riding a Grade 3 for another Imaginary Gift. Gear Chronicle Grade 4 units also lack a Imaginary Gift unlike the Grade 4 units of other clans to make them more balanced.

*** Narukami's old mechanic of forcing the opponent to choose which rearguards are going to be retired was given to Shadow Paladin and they were instead given the ability to directly bind the opponent's rearguards as well as manipulate the positions of the opponent's rearguards so as to be be different from Kagero.
