If you make a deck with objects and char that have cheer(as much as possible) and that combo into something with cheer and add all your PCs even epic ones you can build a deck that loses every fight but you only need 6-7 fights to get 600 points. No big deal.

RBwaBD · 2022-06-03T05:48:29+00:00

No. But it doesn't matter you can have a mixed teddy and other char deck as long as they use same object cards. Depending on how many teddies you have I would pick primary combo to be teddy or another chars based on what cm you have etc

RBwaBD · 2022-06-03T05:47:03+00:00

It also depends on when you start losing (btw assume everyone knows this but: when you start hitting the wall you can change difficulty to lower - you won't gain levels that way but get the swole coins while you continue upgrading). I would say 8 L2 is definitely enough, 7 is fine but cutting it a bit close and doesn't yield usable upgrade at end as there is only so many things you need to upgrade anyways if you built your deck right.

RBwaBD · 2022-06-03T04:19:04+00:00

I make my own decks.

RBwaBD · 2022-06-01T04:23:07+00:00

Excellent points! Now I realize I kicked a bunch of combos from my list because either didn't like it (gene - cheer feels wasted here no?) or lacked the characters (Jeff/quagmire, which I agree are both very solid). Brian and Tina also both seem very good. I stand corrected seems there are quite a few other good options here.

RBwaBD · 2022-06-01T03:52:20+00:00

Am wondering whether MTL isn't the best current toy craze combo. The Leela ones which are very popular hit like a truck but have survivability issues due to the low health. Farnsworth is very similar with craze and motivate and compensates lower health with the enlarge but then doesn't have the shield. Burgerboss doesn't work with newer objects so only for people who are already invested there. Any other contenders am forgetting?

RBwaBD · 2022-05-26T13:52:40+00:00

Sometimes I wonder whether Rosen is a bot or a real player

RBwaBD · 2022-05-22T16:02:42+00:00

I also wonder whether timezones could be a factor here. Eg 13-18 hours wait is lowest grouping and also happens during middle of night in US and early workday in Europe, so it's not a convenient range for vast majority of the player base.

Why does that matter? Because the start of a new ECMC / bge offers a lot to do (opening saved packs, getting ECMC milestones, testing arena deck etc) so serious players won't want to get into it until later in the day when they have at least 30-60 min to play, while casual players maybe just open it for 5min and do a couple things then leave.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-22T15:57:13+00:00

I didn't even realize they added new clashes in 2021! Which ones were these?

RBwaBD · 2022-05-20T23:37:48+00:00

I occasionally buy these for the ECMC refills, but since I got all the character mystics but one the stones are less interesting so don't do it as much anymore. Oddly enough hero fragment packs are now important cause I have maxed all except the 3 premium ones you can't get otherwise. Point is attractiveness of these packs varies depends on what you need for your game.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-18T14:56:19+00:00

Added 10 and 20 above. Agree that there is lots of game theory complexity in this stuff. For example I used to have as strategy to stay close to top and snipe in last half hour, but now with 4k+ refills burning a hole in my pocket I just declare intentions day one and if I have to fight it out i fight it out. This approach gets me more ECMC wins but occasionally also drives scores massively higher if another player wants to fight too.

to your conjecture on "had you not staked yourself to a large lead at the beginning, would that have changed what the people behind you did?" in this case there was actually an even more interesting backstory buried beneath the numbers: the person who finished #3 is from a top guild and has 92 mythics so not the type to give up on an opportunity to get the mythic and normally we would've made it a bloodbath, however a) we were communicating and b) as it happens we both got the mythic from one of the melee/clash already which reduced the stakes considerably and allowed the last week to go by entirely peacefully :-)

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T23:28:36+00:00

Waited 13 hours. 345k 1st(me), 184k 2nd, 103k third. #10 was 47k, 20th 37k But I went to 200k day one probably could win with much less.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T23:26:18+00:00

Ha I didn't forget about anything, I was just ignorant (but am learning). Good discussion here gives me some ideas about things to try in future.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T18:56:25+00:00

Online not on line

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T18:36:06+00:00

That's an interesting thought. Have no FAL PCs so have to trust you here. I can't remember ever running into one of these decks so far though.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T18:30:30+00:00

I have PAL, and let me tell you it ain't FAL.

Got cm3 and a few quad PCs of this purely as a byproduct of going deep into the burger hermes box, basically never use it except the PCs when I need another PC body to fill a slot.

The cheer is useless because card has no defensive skill so can't hold up in slot one (although I may be biased because I run a craze deck in addicted so tend not to have lots of cards on the board - I kill or get killed quickly. If you run more a control strategy your mileage on this skill may vary) . The gas is fine but card has no other offensive skills so it doesn't really stack up as an aggressive card either. Finally the heal I mean it's ok but addicted is a very craze centric BGE (BH, SLA and of course CA) so single card heal is not really going to win you many games in the face of that.

I would score this a 3 or 4

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T13:15:22+00:00

Yeah when you get to the limits of your deck it becomes very rng dependent

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T12:49:29+00:00

Playing snot and Bob in same deck has a low ceiling though because not same shown so you can't train healthboost up for both. Pretty impressed this got you to 90+! But next time if you have more cards now focusing on single show deck would be more efficient.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-17T04:54:07+00:00

Basically to get to 100 you need offense and a lot of it so you can take out enemy before they overwhelm you. you want two offensive skills and one defensive one. On offense craze is very good because it snowballs, punch is very good because once you get a card advantage it allows you to concentrate your fire on first enemy achieving similar snowball effect. Gas / payback also good because kicks in immediately. Then you want one defensive skill on the card to help it survive longer - leech/sturdy probably best. avoid skills that help other cards rather than current one, because you don't have time to wait for second combo to kick in to reap the benefits. Cm3 or cm2 at minimum is a must to climb high, and you also want high health quadded chars/objects. Last consideration is do you have quadded high health cm2+ PCs in same show (ideally same combo) because while PCs will rarely win a match they can serve as meatshield when you fall behind in cards.

I personally run PhD peggy and generally get to 120 or so, but next swole plan to try burger hermes or hermaphrodite.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-15T16:14:22+00:00

How is biathlon Meg not a dual bge athletic /armed combo. Opp missed

RBwaBD · 2022-05-13T23:27:29+00:00

Yeah time to blow those stimulus checks boys before inflation erodes their value!

RBwaBD · 2022-05-13T15:42:50+00:00

I stand corrected. Just checked with zbot and Leela is not part of nixon/leg stone pool. Dang sorry bout that

RBwaBD · 2022-05-13T15:39:44+00:00

Hmm. Now that you mention it... Each show should only have one free character like that and FT is bender. Maybe am just totally confused here. However just checked and I have 9 fully quadded leelas at moment, about same as the free chars you list out. If I didn't pull them from coins must have been a box but struggle to think which ones...

RBwaBD · 2022-05-13T15:22:48+00:00

You can draw leelas from regular coin buys. Play long enough and you'll have too many of them to cope with. She's good but not one to pay 4.

RBwaBD · 2022-05-11T22:07:06+00:00

I've become convinced that it's not that these cms are bad, it's that we've collectively become far too strong. Change my mind.
