I like the concept of the game but my main issue is that the crystals are very expensive especially in relation to the cards. Levelling up a rare card fully is 625 000 crystals and it will take me a year to get that many!
This game aint the same since sophie and bestor. People just use amaya, zina tactics and it sort of loses its spark. Especially as guessing the oppenent was one of its highlights. Now all people do is radience burst etc, and unless you have a quick deck, they destroy you.
Actually Twinge I used Helen for a while whilst in Mid 30's for around 30 games and stayed there!
However, I also realized she was useless! She is I think the worst car on the game!
CC, isnt that good, and their are many cards which can defeat him! The best cards against CC are ubuntu, amaya and VV. Other good cards are ashi with the charm, ambrosia especially with the totem, phoebe, popo, higashi ( if u take him far) and rumiko if you play her right with the scroll can be handy!
The main part of this game is anticipation and knowing the game. You need to be able to anticipate your opponents moves, normally through intercepts. I've had crucial misses in games but have still won as I could second guess my opponent. The luck factor is around 20% of the game. Also, you need to know what the cards do and not choose random moves or intercept when you have low energy, when you should rest!
Also, how can you explain the top 25 if its just about luck?
I don't believe that some cards are superior but instead, groups of cards are if you play them together in the right way. I've won many matches with doubles I have found work very well together as a pair!
Later areas give much more gems.
