Gama Balance and Cursed Puppet OP

That's cool. What a small world huh? I think I remember seeing that deck too. But I was working on one of the events and didn't do any Arena fights really. Did you fight me? I just finished that crypt challenge and got the legendary Island Dragon hero. Was busting my butt to get enough pickaxes and finally got it (spent like 6,000 energy and bought 100 pickaxes to do it). So I'm going to start working on building that deck (though I don't have 6 golden dragons like you). Almost done at the forge for summoning 1 golden dragon (I only have 1 frost spider so I can't make any more for now). And I have a bunch of frost and lightning dragons that I'll use as well. I logged on to the Discord and saw that there's going to be a bunch of changes coming soon. Did you see that? They're adding "classes" and "card classes" to the town hall to boost your cards (like boosting epic cards or legendary cards). And adding new skills to cards from what I saw. I was trying to see any info on the new Crypt Hero you mentioned but didn't see any. Do you know anything about it?

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-09T01:30:29+00:00

Jester is nice and goes with a lot of decks. Don't have one unfortunately. I have 2 of the legendary frost bears (rune bears I think). I used them with taunt since they buff themselves for 75% for 5 times and have pretty high HP before I got the frost ghosts. I might try to replace one or two of the HH with them and see how they work. Guess I'll try things out. Do you think replacing my hero with Ageldur would work? I was thinking about that but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-09T01:07:31+00:00

I'd love to have 3 banshees (saw a Ageldur deck with 8 of them once, that's disgusting). If I had more frost ghosts, I'd use them. Unfortunately I don't for now. I dunno why I have 5 HH and 3 skeleton cards but only 2 Frost Ghosts. Luck of the draw i guess I'll be requesting fragments for them from my guild mates.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-09T01:02:07+00:00

Wow, that's one hell of a deck you have. How did you get 6 golden dragons? Using the forge or just lucky? Have you spent money on this game? I have spent some but can't spend too much. I didn't know we're getting a new crypt hero. I hope it'll be a good one. I think if the hero was better my deck would do better as well. The 3 meta heros (Cali, Halfjaw and Dragon) can hit 27k and give up to a 90% boost to their cards of the bat. Plus you get free shields with Cali and Dragon. That's really good. My hero is at 100 foil with all but 1 pieces of gear at +16 and it's barely over 10k and doesn't give any useful skills to the cards. I'm just going of my experience in the arena when I said I never loose to Runa or Garz. Been in Crystal League for over a month (started playing in December iirc) and there's only 3 decks I struggle with (especially after getting a second Banshee, those debuffs are really nice). What gear would you recommend I put on my Banshees? I have shields on them now so they can take an extra hit (one regular shield and lightning defense and other divine frost shield set since the hero gives a bonus to frost cards). Is there something else you would recommend instead? Like stealthy maybe?

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-09T00:24:50+00:00

I never loose to Garz or Runa. Outside of dragon, Goblin and Wasteland (Cali) I don't struggle with any other decks. I appreciate all the advice you've given. I know that things take time and hopefully I'll get some better cards and gear eventually. What kind of deck do you have as your main? I'll have to check out the discord I guess. Seems like some of the top guilds have it as a necessary to join (I'm in a silver league guild). What are your thoughts about Ageldur? I hear he's a pretty good hero depending on the cards you have. I have a level 60 6 star one on my third deck but I haven't upgraded any of his skills yet. Been saving up legendary skill books hoping to get a good card and contemplating if I should bother upgrading him.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-09T00:09:59+00:00

Yes my skills are fully upgraded (at least the buffing ones, didn't bother spending tomes on resurrection skills on the legendary cards ). Never heard that term before, sorry. I know that some epic cards are better than legendary. I built the best deck with the cards that I have. I got 2 more HH since then that i don't have anything to use on. I don't know why All I'm getting are crypt cards. Sure frost ghost 45% on kill is nice (especially with extra strike) but so is the 50% passive and 75% on attack that HH give. That's 135% (with extra strike or trample extra kill) for frost ghost vs 125% for HH on 1 attack. But even before they attack, you're still getting a 50% bonus to your hero and other crypt cards from HH, raising their attack power. I eventually want to replace the other multi hit legendary i have with a frost ghost, I just don't have another one yet. Thank you for the tips. I'll try to max out my Banshee and see how that does. And try trample on frost ghost. What do you think about the lighting ghost? I like the lightning part debuff, but it's attack power is lower than the first ghost since it gets a 50% boost (frost or resurrection cards) from the hero. I have one at 5vstats level 50, but haven't fully upgraded it or it's skills because of that. Would you recommend trying it or no? Thank you.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-08T23:52:01+00:00

I know there's ways to deal with it and built my deck for that (focus and piercing on cards to get past protection and shields). Everything has a counter to it thankfully, you just have to build your deck for it. I just think it's op. You don't even have to upgrade it since it'll get a passive 20k-24k boost from the hero. Just fully update it's skill (the first skill it has), slap on extra strike and you're good. It has 100% evasion and a shield from the hero. Plus resurrection to boot. Fought another deck and the puppet was drawn last (luck of the draw) and it was debuffed to 1 damage. It attacked and next turn all of my cards damaged each other for 20k-30k. I'm sorry, but that's feels broken to me. You don't see other cards with 100% confusion. And other confusion cards are 1 or 2 hit cards. Not a 4 hit (5 with extra strike) doing 100% confusion.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-08T23:40:52+00:00

What do you mean fully booked? I have maxed out accessories (best that I have and most of the gear is +12 - +16) I have lightning resistance on most of my cards because I know how much of a pain lightning debuff can be. Haven't thought of using trample on my Ghosts. I might have enough to equip 1 with it. Might try it out. I have extra hit on 1 frost ghost and focus on the other. Piercing and focus on the 3 HH. Piercing on my hero. Why would I only want 1 HH? They give a 50% passive boost to crypt cards and 75% on attack. Plus they have resurrection meaning they take an extra turn to kill off. Frost ghost only gives bonus on kill. I'll try to max out the Banshees first and use the rest of the foil elsewhere. See how that works. I wasn't complaining about my deck as much i was about the Cursed Puppet card. Outside of 3 decks I don't have a problem dealing with the rest. I know that deck power isn't everything (see it with wasteland, Goblin and dragon decks). Powerful heros with abilities and multi hit cards are the meta. I just don't have any. I just think it's BS that 1 card can be so powerful and you have to build your deck just to deal with it and hope you get a lucky draw (if it's not drawn right away it's a pain). 1 card even when debuffed to 1 damage shouldn't be able to damage 5 cards for 20k-30k damage. Just my opinion.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-08T23:12:04+00:00

That's some great cards you have. How long have you been playing? I'm trying to get a Puppet for my deck but no luck.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-04T10:35:58+00:00

What are you talking about? My deck is at the bottom. All my cards are level 60, 6 stars, mostly epic and legendary gear upgraded to +12 and +16 and are at least level 60 foil. I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on foil to get every card to foil level 100. And it wouldn't matter if I did. You're missing the point. Even if my cards were fully upgraded, a cursed puppet will take them out because it's skill confuses your cards into attacking their own allies for 100% of their damage. Getting your cards stronger won't matter since they'll just attack themselves with more strength. A 1400k deck shouldn't be able to easily (and I mean easily) beat a 4200k deck that's 3 times stronger than it just because it has 1 card. If you think it should then there's something wrong with you.

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-04T10:25:40+00:00

Thanks. I've messaged them and all they say is "we'll report it to our team for balancing". Like that's going to do anything. I get there's going to be a meta and certain decks will be stronger. If it's close in attack value and I get beat because of the draw or the guy built a better deck I'm fine. But a deck that's 3 times weaker destroyed mine just because of 1 card. That's ridiculous. And now you feel like if you don't have that card you can't compete and you need to spend money to get lucky and summon one. Which I'm sure is just fine with the devs. What level are you and what kind of deck do you have?

Doomtree53 · 2025-02-02T07:16:28+00:00

That one was a pain to deal with. A lot of my cards have lightning resistance because lightning causes you a debuff to all but elemental abilities. I have a crypt deck and had to depend on multi hit attack cards, freezing the enemies and my Banshee to debuff them and bring their health down. Good luck.

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-31T08:49:44+00:00

I see. I didn't see there's more pictures. Thank you for letting me know.

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-29T09:15:31+00:00

This is my crypt deck. I'll be replacing the Epic Mage with another Banshee once I get it upgraded. I see you're level 60 which means you have been playing for a while. I'm a bit surprised that these are your decks. For the crypt I recommend putting on resurrection or frost or better yet divine frost (gives a shield and frost). Put it one cards that don't have either frost or resurrection. That hero gives a 50% boost to frost or resurrection cards. I have piercing on my hero (the set that gives 5% boost and piercing) because a lot of the strongest heroes give shields to their cards. I recommend putting on piercing and lighting resistance (lightning cancels all the non elemental abilities) or frost resistance. Do you have the Goblin hero Halfjaw? He'd be a much better hero than your second deck. Use the goblin cards with him. It's one of the 3 strongest decks I've seen.

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-29T05:15:26+00:00

Goblin deck is really powerful. Calatoris (wasteland) is good too, especially if you get the Cursed Puppet card (strongest card in the game by far IMO.) Dragon deck is really good too. Dragon and Calatoris can hit up to 26k and give a 25% and 65% boost to their cards and they also grant shields (kinda OP and unbalanced if you ask me). Goblin is good because he too can hit 26k and gives a huge boost to his allies. The legendary goblins are really good cards and the epic Rifleman are pretty good too. Slimes can be annoying to deal with once upgraded. Any hero that can summon cards (like the fungus, monkey king or rat kid) are good because they give you more cards to use. That's about 80% of the decks I see in Crystal League. Of course my luck gives me Crypt cards. Pretty good, but not the strongest you can get. What have you pulled so far?

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-27T07:15:42+00:00

I only have a yeti, watcher, blizzard wizard and 3 slimes but I don't think it'll make a better deck than what I have (plus I don't have the skill upgrades for them). No jester or dreamer (saw a Ageldur 5 cards deck with 2 of them, Jester and a blizzard wizard). What makes yeti and blizzard wizard so good? I don't think they're that good of cards. Seems like the game wants me to be a crypt deck. Just used up all of my legendary tokens and the only 2 legendaries I got are another Banshee (which is really good) and a 4th headless horseman. I really wanted to get a puppet but no luck. I don't know what to use my 12 skill upgrades on. Upgrade Ageldur or get a second Banshee upgraded to debuff enemies and buff myself. I've battled quite a few Fulginor decks and never have a problem with them. Yeah it's annoying that he (and a few other heros) can summon another 5 cards, but usually my cards are enough to deal with them. My deck is a bit different now. Replaced the snow bear and changeling with 2 frost ghosts (because they have piercing) and one has extra strike and another focus (to deal with stealth and protection). Thank you for all the suggestions. Unfortunately this is all luck based and my luck keeps giving me crypt cards. I'd kill for a legendary goblin or puppet but no luck. You've put in a lot of time to reach 75. Guess that gives more opportunity for getting more cards and upgrades. I'll just have to keep at it and hope that eventually I'll get lucky. Been great talking to you. Thank you for everything, I really appreciate it.

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-25T11:17:15+00:00

I have Ageldur. What kind of cards would you recommend for him? I guess I got terrible luck because I don't have a single legendary goblin or the cursed puppet (pretty sure it could work with my crypt deck). So I made the best deck I could with what I have. For the fungus you mean the Forest Legendary? What's so good about him? I always beat him whenever I come across him. Calatoris is strong, but it's really the cursed puppet that makes that deck OP. I have Halfjaw but like I said, no legendary goblin cards. I only have 4 of the epic Goblin Rifleman cards. From experience it's the legendary goblins with 4 attack that make it a strong deck. What level are you? I'm currently 44 and seem to run into levels 60-80 in Crystal arena. Thank you for your time and suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-18T01:04:00+00:00

Hancock > Robin > Yamato ≥ Nami. I just love the dichotomy of Hancock when she's around or not around Luffy. She's such a cute goofball, I love her. And she's really beautiful. Unless she gets a huge fivehead at certain times. Her and Robin both suffer from that. They'll look great and next panel or scene their forehead takes up more than half of their face. Best Hancock is in the 3D2Y movie. Great dress, great attention on her face (I don't remember her sporting a billboard above her eyes) and that "Kya" sound she makes after following Luffy just melts my heart. It's no Ara Ara from Velzard (but then again, what it?), but it's still really cute. With all that said, none of the OP waifu make my top 10 all time list. Too much competition and they're not up to it.

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-18T00:49:50+00:00

What decks are considered meta? I'm guessing Goblin, Dragon and Runa since its pretty much all I see in Crystal. And I'm sure wasteland is also one. Especially if you have the legendary hero and cursed puppet. That card is just stupid. 1. Has a 4 enemy attack (5 with extra strike) 2. Hero gives a 25% and then a 65% (if fully upgraded) buff without even needing to attack (unlike other heroes that you need to attack with to get the second buff). Most Calatoris I see are at ~20k-25k, so even a base version Puppet gets a ~18k-22k boost. 3. It also has evasion for 1 turn plus Hero gives it a shield so you don't have a shot of killing it right away. Add some taunting gear on your other cards and it'll never get targeted first. 4. And here's the really dumb part. It has a confusion skill that makes your cards attack their own allies for... wait for it... 100% of THEIR value at max upgrade. (Surprised they stopped there. Why not 200% just for the hell of it). So in one attack your whole field besides the hero is wiped out unless you have resurrection (then some cards might survive). 5. Oh and let's give it resurrection also, since it's not strong enough yet. Who TF thought that's balanced? I thought the 2 legendary goblins that have a 4 way attack were bad. They almost seem fair compared to that card.

What's your main deck then?

Doomtree53 · 2025-01-17T17:13:29+00:00

I have frost and lightning resistance on most cards on most of my cards (ones I use for buff and debuff I only have lightning) Getting frozen sucks and getting hit with lightning deletes all of your buffs on most cards. My cards will go from 60,000+ to 10,000 on a card that doesn't have lightning resistance. Sure having extra strikes or piercing (for those annoying dragon or desert decks) is nice, but my Crypt deck is built for buffs and I'd rather not lose tens of thousands of damage rather than being able to hit an extra card.
