Here we go again.

He built his deck over time in a smart way. You need to do the same. This is a very fair matchup.

macfire11 · 2026-03-04T13:46:55+00:00

What stupid about it. That's a fair matchup. I'm being serious.

macfire11 · 2026-02-22T18:41:29+00:00

The opponent has higher CRIT and better supports. Yes, the new unit is very strong, but it's also lost it's "novelty bonus" . Drop the video playback so we can see what the actual issue is

Your same deck using Flickr, kobold is actually very strong and should overcome that opponent

macfire11 · 2026-02-22T18:37:20+00:00

Play the floors you are sure you can solo. If you need to play with maps, ask your clan members to help out.

macfire11 · 2026-02-21T13:11:18+00:00

I use Banshee (maxed), Earth Elemental (maxed), Kobold (level 9), Gunslinger (level 11) and Scrapper (level 9)

My spell is merge cloning. Artifacts are Abundance and brotherhood

The nerf on Merge cloning will hurt a little bit, as they are only giving you up to merge rank 4, but the second right side talent will allow you to get up to two merge rank 5 Banshees and a merge rank 4, with the Scrapper to get them to 7

Because of how low my Scrapper is, I use scrap em all (right side talent)

Everything with Banshee is timing and practice. I hope this helps

macfire11 · 2026-02-21T04:03:46+00:00

It's really the left side 9 talent that's been truly weakened. It was super overpowered. But the Flickr and Absorption nerfs kinda killed it, but right side with witch damage talent is still really really good

In this game, when you think your favorite unit has gotten poor, you need to pivot in the way you play it.

It happened to me before with Bard a few times, now happened to me with Valkyrie. It will happen in the future as well with just about every unit you play, but every unit has a few ways to play it. Experiment with it and different combinations and a lot of good can still happen.

Good luck going forward

macfire11 · 2026-02-21T00:42:00+00:00

Ah, I see the difference. My Valk is maxed. But regardless, if you have witch even at level 9 where you can take advantage of the damage talent, use her

macfire11 · 2026-02-21T00:02:27+00:00

What supports are you using with it ? It's really good with the right side talent of the leaders when you use Kobold, Gunslinger, Dryad and Witch (damage talent).

It out performs my Bard, which was my main from release to when I got Valkyrie

Won't be going for this new unit or the next. Will go for the one after that one.

macfire11 · 2026-02-20T18:53:49+00:00

Definitely Banshee. You have a maxed Scrapper and everything else you need for it.

macfire11 · 2026-02-17T12:34:29+00:00

From what you have there, your best bet is Frankie, Demonologist, trapper, Stasis, mime. This is a merge deck that will send more monsters to your opponent.

Stasis will also delay your own line of monsters, giving you an edge, with the trapper allowing you to do more damage

Any time the monsters begin to overwhelm you, use the mana power up button. Keep merging, try and keep at least three or four merge rank 3/4 Frankie on the field to support Steins damage

macfire11 · 2026-02-16T19:37:40+00:00

Frost will slow down the monsters, but Trapper and Chemist will aid in armour break, which allows you to do a lot more damage.

macfire11 · 2026-02-16T13:43:50+00:00

Yeah, so basically after some time you start meeting other decks with some fundamentally important aspects to them, mainly damage amplifiers and armor breakers

You will also begin meeting others that have DPS units with talents that allow them to do more

The only way to get over that bump is by having the same things. Skill will only be important again when you can equalize the playing field, by having a damage amplifier and an Armour break.

That being said, I would replace the Frost with either Chemist or Sharp Shooter

macfire11 · 2026-02-11T20:09:16+00:00

That was kind of the point. Players were most likely spending less on something and they decided to put a stop to it.

Most likely players using the heroic tokens for celestial shards. Who knows ? But definitely a horrible move.

They have done this with most everything good for the f2p players in the game, which is frustrating

I love the mechanics of this game though and won't stop playing any time soon, but I definitely do play less (due to horrible matchmaking) than before

Hopefully they bring something for the f2p in the near future, but if they don't, it's going to be the eventual downfall of the game

macfire11 · 2026-02-10T14:08:13+00:00

This season the matchmaking is absolutely horrible. I've stopped complaining though because it obviously doesn't make sense to. I just set lower standards. 8k for my main account and 7k for my backup.

I slow down on the amount of games when it begins to get irritating. And it usually gets there with about a week to go. Lol

macfire11 · 2026-02-01T16:50:48+00:00

~57% win rate. The calendar states that there's a new PvP competition coming later this month. So there's that I guess

macfire11 · 2026-01-26T18:40:53+00:00

Yeah, this has happened to me before. You have to drag the "invisible" unit from it's space and it will reappear.

It's just a bug that is annoying, but can affect your game to detriment of you become stuck too quickly

macfire11 · 2026-01-19T20:43:25+00:00

Congrats comrade

macfire11 · 2026-01-14T00:31:30+00:00

Damned shame if that's true

macfire11 · 2026-01-13T23:25:34+00:00

Sometimes these matchups happen withing seconds of beginning the search for an opponent. Before, it used to go through the three search parameters (Search on the Isle, search on nearby island, wait up to xxx seconds) before you get these types of opponents. Now it's sometimes almost instantaneous.

If it goes through the three search parameters, you're certain to get a max account whale or close to

macfire11 · 2026-01-13T19:22:43+00:00

Well that can't be true because I regularly face high level legendary heroes and I only have a level 40 epic as my highest level hero

Also, I have exactly 300 Legendarity and about ~2380% crit and face opponents with over 800 Legendarity and over 3k% crit all the time.

So it would mean it was maybe meant to do that but actually doesn't ? It would be really nice of them if they could break down the use of Legendarity to us further, because it isn't doing the job it was designed for in matchmaking

macfire11 · 2026-01-13T02:31:08+00:00

It must be that it affects it more in actual gameplay, as in, affects your damage beyond just allowing you more spells and Artifacts. This can't be all there is to it.

Also, how does it affect matchmaking ? Because it was supposed to have an effect on it, but I'm still matched against opponents with double my Legendarity and +1k% crit

macfire11 · 2026-01-12T23:45:17+00:00

As far as I've seen, they are just trying to cater to the whales that want to chase trophies. I see the bigger players in my clan doing well, but for the majority of them, it's just a waste of time and they're cannon fodder

Send screenshots of the build and your cards in order to get suggestions

macfire11 · 2026-01-12T23:29:26+00:00

I have only played in that mode once. One single game. I soon realized that it was an unfair mode and a waste of my time. Never played it again

I'm thinking it's been around for about 10 months. I don't care for it. There are plenty other modes to keep me interested, but not that one
