Figuring out the highest possible damage on a single hit is like worrying about how many angels can dance on a pin. Really, once you do enough damage to kill your opponent the rest of the points are effectively wasted.
it is NOT all luck. Lots of combos have 100% chance at hitting. Some players always use the same deck, so you can build a special deck for them. It just takes practice and patience. Luck will sometimes mess you up, but predicting what the other guy will do is not exactly luck.
There are times when luck is a factor.
Just played a game against a guy and I missed 6 times in a row. Oy.
Almost won anyways, but was too beat down by all the misses. It happens. I won a game a bit earlier because a guy missed a hit at an important point.
you play someone higher up, you get more points if you win. Play someone lower, you get less.
I've been beat by people who were good and just did not have the points yet to show for it.
I agree that its more about skill than not. 49/50 would be quite impressive. Are you only playing newbees? You should be at the top of the rank charts with that kind of win/loss ratio
I kill Marquis with Tome all the time.
It just requires a bit of stradegy.
Usually needs switching out.
Popo is surprisingly good against him.
And of course you have the other vampires that can hurt him too especially if they have tome also
As a guy who could fairly call himself an expert, since I'm currently on the all time rank points list, I'd like to debunk the luck factor. It's not that luck is not a factor as much as it tends to even out quite a bit, even if it does not feel that way at the time. The deck selected is important, especially if you know the deck your opponent always plays. Every card has a counter or a situation. Some cards are very powerful when whole,but lose a few power and hit points become very vulnerable. The most significant elements to consider are 1) switch and intercepting the switch, 2) power types and in some cases switching power types 3)Odds modifiers. If you pay attention to these factors, you will win more often especially once you figure out your opponents tendancies. The difference between the beginners and the experts is that the experts both anticipate what their opponent will do and modify their own play to be less predicatable. Good and have fun. GL & HF.
The only tough part is the boss on level 4. you just need to make sure your weapons have ammo as fighting close up almost never will beat him except when you have more exp.
