Topic: Card Monsters / Fear based Purple deck will ruin all other decks

@BOMB
As melee feared to the back and range to the front makes me can’t kill any monster. It is always said easier than done. 80% of AA is not enough. So that’s why so few people use non-red/purple decks.

Topic: Card Monsters / Fear based Purple deck will ruin all other decks

@bomb Balance and Fortune have attacks that deal damage from any position

I would like to hear your opinion how yellow can deal damage from any position. As far as i see, very very few people are using crocodime. Besides, yellow only has one unusable mage.

Most top red/purple deck don’t use range as far as I concern, at most 1. So, it is really not that true making archers useless. But it may be true against glow/tin shrill + ying suit. But as mentioned, they don’t use 1 fear but multiple, so snail will soon be moved to the front again.

@frogengaia
Maybe this is because you have too many abilities. People can’t know which ability is more important than the others. You can also post that on Edgebee forum. I think dev will spend more time hanging around there.

Topic: Card Monsters / Fear based Purple deck will ruin all other decks

If Eatme considers making demonic armor available to public, there will be one more fear cards though it has higher CCs. Due to RED/PURPLE phenomenon, it is believed Eatme will reduce its cost to 4 CCs. But it is expected that Eatme won’t change it in the near future due to its slow update and few staff.

Once feared, the worst scenario would be the melee changed to the right-hand side and range to the front. The RED/PURPLE phenomenon is justified as it has been discussed here . Besides, that strange trinklet is reduced to 3CCs for purple.

Without decent courage card, the only solution is to use reach (not backstab). But sadly, not only has purple fear, it also has that annoying musc. A lot of top decks have at least 1 musc. Adding it GR, excalibur, magic armor or flying are not such a difficult combo. You can easily find a 3CCs equipment for that. Even if you use flame, and the opponent uses fear and the backward musc uses exca, the feared flame moved to the front will be 1-hit killed by the 60-demoed musc.

Not only have other colors few fear, they don’t have reach (not the rubbish backstab). The other colors are in DOUBLE-loss (except red or maybe blue). Why has purple DOUBLE-win? Cheap fear and reach. You may argue you can use DOUBLE snail and DOUBLE lion hearts to tackle. But in reality, you cannot. There is an ability called BLESS, like bless dust, in expansion 5 (don’t call it the epic booster as you are not guarantee to draw 1 epic in 10 attempts). In addition, with fear, that annoying snail will go to the back and mages moved forward will all be killed by musc. Just fear snail, then purple-magic will take care of them.

It is even worse to the deck with melee and range based. When the worst scenario happens, the range will first be killed by musc or 1-hit on chimp by musc+GR. Then with another range moved to the front means it is useless. The other backrow melee on the left is useless too. You need to either sacrifice that range or melee. But with mage, you don’t need to sacrifice any cards. You can simply add ‘reach’ on that melee.

Another method to tackle but it is quite silly complicated and inefficient – add 30 shield on innate-30-shield monster plus flame and courage monsters or equipment to withstand that efficient, east setup.

@kevinke6 I agree on that. 3 kul with MM, cautious or armor are quite annoying.

Topic: Card Monsters / Cautious works vs Silence?

@ bomb I’ve put a bless item on a silenced monster (not entangled nor stunned) and it didn’t activate

You can’t eliminate the effect by putting cautious/bless on it. Why don’t you know it even now? I suppose you have played CM for long time.

Topic: Card Monsters / Cautious works vs Silence?

Normal cautious does stop silence.

@bloderprotector
very true.

Edit: There’s should be some minor changes, like vapor + regen but they didn’t notify us.

Topic: Card Monsters / Crystal Crystal

@bomb
Blue cards – cheap CCs
resonate + drain crystals – to a certain extent, you can potentially have many crystals, no sac card is needed
GD – Why do you use GD? I think you will be better if you add sadi to your deck.

The reason why you disagree because of the cards you use. If you use other card combinations, you need to have sac cards.

Topic: Card Monsters / Crystal Crystal

With further explanation by remigen, I am persuaded that it is not a bad idea.

Topic: Card Monsters / - Why is RED op?

@JasonJ29
I really hardly see any people using wide-maw.

Topic: Card Monsters / Crystal Crystal

Yep, it can somehow solve the problem of the lack of crystal ability monsters. But, it will make the ‘crystal ability’ become meaningless as every monster can now have the ability of gaining 1 extra crystal when sacrificing.

To think more deeply, it doesn’t solve the root of the problems, lack of crystal ability monsters. In the end, Edgebee needs to make different colors monsters having this ability to eradicate the problem of having Sadi-only sacrifice cards.

It is also good to post it in the Edgebee forum as i suspect dev only looks post there only. For example, that ‘buff regenerate’ post is only in Edgebee forum.

Topic: Card Monsters / - Why is RED op?

You can deal damage and ignore the armor totally with destroy + cleave except there is shield.

Topic: Card Monsters / - Why is RED op?

@ JasonJ29
1. Fear is one of the best abilities.
2. Agree
3. Glampire + bless/flying/reach…=OP. In other words, it has the potential to be an OP monster while can’t.

Topic: Card Monsters / - Why is RED op?

Very thorough evaluation. Red has high attack and low protection to melee,range and magic as you’ve explained.Only one thing can possibly reduce its strength but not very effectively, that is demoralize. Which color has demoralize? Again, another good color, purple. So, that’s why you can see some people have 2-3 sadistues in a deck.

It’s meaningless for edgebee for creating 5 colors (or 6 including generic) for CM, just 2 is enough.

Topic: Card Monsters / Imbalance between Colour - Epic Monster

@frongengaia
Don’t you forget. Red’s also got VE which has the same CCs ad yellow and red. Double nerf for DB is too much. Clam and chimp is much worse now. Snail’s got itself a little nerf with the bless. Only crocobear, flame, vapor and eagle are still good in rare allies. But, obviously, they are not in the level of RD,musc, and some other epic allies.

Yep, epic is not equal to absolute authority. But it sets as the benchmark whether they are concentrated in developing. Referring the number and quality, they are currently imbalanced.

@JLord333
I think it’s mainly because of the existence of judgement and limited number of useable cards.

Topic: Card Monsters / Imbalance between Colour - Epic Monster

I am expecting at least the next 2 EXPANSIONS will have at most 1 EPIC ALLY in RED/PURPLE. At the same time, they are as rubbish as CONBRA.

Topic: Card Monsters / Bless warning.

Some suggestions:
1. Remove 10 wall, 20 shield – Simply because it will to difficult to kill if imposing on the backrow.

2. If bless is in use, only THAT monster is benefited from bless.

3. Add 10 courage – As there is not an effective way to counter FEAR, adding 10 courage which cannot be stacked now will help counter fear more easily. Of course, red will not be benefited from this.

4. Keep immunity and cautious. To reduce the benefit of red and other colors which do not have innate cautious using cautious to tackle thorn, make those colors 1CC/2CCs higher than those color having innate cautious.

5. Remove negative effects – In my perception, negative effects are those which will still exist even those monsters imposing it are killed, such as silence and disease.

Topic: Card Monsters / The Counter to Invinc Spamming (Exp 5 Nerfs and Bless)

@JordanS196 If bless is a good card, why don’t we see more than 2 bless cards in a deck like 3DB in a deck in the past?

Topic: Card Monsters / Proposal: Tone Down Heroic Nerfs

@bmuell01 #1, #3, #4 are also viable imo. For #3, i think ‘destroy’ is also another way to nerf invin. Yellow has only 2 tanks, and the abilities specialized for yellow are not as great as RED/PURPLE, like backstab. You can see how good the combination of flying/shield but not many people complain the combination of counter/shield. Backstab is not worth an epic-level ability, just make it a common in the case that opportunity is triggered every time it backstabs.

I don’t know why RED has the same CCs in VE as green and yellow as RED is supposed not to be benefited from invin. For example, dev clearly know that shield and wall are the features of RED, like chaos stick, phoenix shield. I’ve never heard of or thought of invin is also the feature of RED.

Topic: Card Monsters / New epic Ally

But we have it is unreasonable with Musc compared to conbra as the stat are so different and backstab is much worse than reach. What bmuell01 said ‘backstab is still way more costly than reach but with more drawbacks.’ is very true.

Topic: Card Monsters / New epic Ally

Backstab which should be a feature of yellow monsters but it doesn’t widely used. As yellow got nerfed which is too much, opp should still trigger on courage, making ‘fear’ problem not completely solved. Atm, I prefer that common backstab with stealth than conbra even backstab is a bad ability.

Topic: Card Monsters / New epic Ally

Yellow indeed needs an epic chance monster but not weak hybrid of chance and range uncommon. While yellow is not high-melee-based, I think 100 melee for yellow is too high. Making backstab without hitting by opportunity and act as reach when there is no valid opponent for backstab are viable.
