BATTLE TACTIC #2: GATE CARD PLACEMENT – FEBRUARY 2010

Greetings brawlers! Welcome to the second issue of Battle Tactics with BrightLight!

I’m very pleased to share with you one of the most fundamental strategies to keep in mind for your next brawl. Sometimes starting off with your best foot forward can propel you to the winner’s circle and there’s no better time like the present to get started and improve your strategy just in time for BakuCon NYC.

Bakugan brawl!

Gate Card Placement, Tip #2: Early Placement

Some Gate cards can be best used when played early in the game. When you are playing one of these cards, be sure to put it out first and have a plan for what you want to do when you engage in battle on it. A great early placement card is the Copper Gate Card, ‘Rattleoid’. Battling on this card early in the game puts your enemy in an odd situation where they have to dump a bunch of Ability Cards or hold on to them allowing you to get some mega G-Power bonuses. This can be particularly devastating when brawling with the Big Game rules!

As you can see, timing can be everything, so I hope you’ll take this strategy and use it as part of your moves to defeat your opponents!

Thank you for checking out my latest tip and be sure to catch next month’s Battle Tactic here on my.bakugan.com!

Season 3: Gundalian Invaders Bakugan Codes – DO NOT SHARE

It's only natural that everyone is excited for the new Bakugan that has hit the shelves. Many of us would also like to share our big finds with other brawlers. But Spin Master and the Bakugan Team would like to voice out their concern over revealing the 'heat-reveal' digit codes of the Bakugan Gundalian Invaders. The codes are specific and unique to each Bakugan, and can only be used once after it has been entered online.

Attention brawlers!

We would like to notify all brawlers to not share your Bakugan Season 3 Gundalian Invaders 'heat reveal' 10-digit codes with anyone else as they are specific to each Bakugan and will be required for future online use. Do not post the code or pictures of your Bakugan online. Once the code has been entered online in the upcoming redemption system you cannot use it again, so please keep your code a secret for your eyes only!

Stay tuned to Bakugan.com as the homepage will feature more information as we draw closer to the release of the online system and the use of the 10-digit 'heat reveal' codes that are found on Season 3 Gundalian Invaders Bakugan.

Thank you!

~ The Bakugan Team

So for those who already have their Gundalian Invaders Bakugan and the digit codes, keep them to yourself and DO NOT SHARE!
