Two Newb Questions

[Philosopher]

To be honest, I'm still trying to absorb everything and figure out what to do next.

In the short term, now that my fire deck is going from a 99% win rate to a 60-75% win rate, I was thinking that I might be better off switching to this deck I read about:

6x Poison
6x Chysora
6x Freeze
11x Bone Pillar
1x Dagger
Mark of Water

Once I get 500 Score (for my weapon) and 2000 gold, I figured that I'd build the famous rainbow deck and farm False Gods, because that seems to be "the thing to do."  (If you have any better ideas, let me know!)

Hey there ... I'm a newb who just started playing yesterday.   I made a basic fire deck and quickly had success against the Level 3 AI.  I'm up to Score 422 and still grinding to 500 to get my epic weapon.

Two questions:

1) Does the AI get better decks as your score increases?  I only had 2 losses total before I hit 400 score, and I've already lost 8 times tonight.

2) Which rare weapon should I choose when I hit 500 score?  Scaredgirl's sticky post (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,522.msg5018#msg5018) suggests Eternity or Lobotomizer, but in another thread this person (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,668.msg6864#msg6864) suggests Trident and this person (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,668.msg7032#msg7032) suggests Pulverizer.  Any advice?  I haven't been able to win a single rare card yet via the wheel, so it seems like an important choice.

Fake God deck is the best way to earn money and upgraded cards, and you can win most rares, too. With that money, you can build a good deck that suits you just fine. That poison deck is similar to the one I'm using, lol. Also, AI don't usually get harder as you gain more score, you're just having bad luck. XD

If you're going with Scaredgirl's God Farming rainbow deck, I recommend Pulverizer.

[Uncle Jellyfish]

It really depends. Trident is very rare because it's hardly ever used. Lobotomizer is useful, but it's conditional, depending on your deck. Pulverizer and Eternity are good for rainbow decks, Pulverizer for larger God Killers, and Eternity to prevent decking out with a smaller rainbow.

What are you plans for the future? If we had a better idea, we could provide better advice.

Okay, thank you again for all of your help.

[Philosopher]

Okay, this is very helpful.   Thank you Uncle Jellyfish.

Since my fire deck has 85%+ win rate overall, no point in switching to poison before I build the Scaredgirl God Farming rainbow?

[Philosopher]

Both of those decks use Owl's Eye because it is the most common rare in the game. Just replace it with a Pulverizer. It works much better, since the more permanent control you have, the better off you are against the Gods.

Yay, thank you sir.

[Philosopher]

Hopefully you're still here ... 

Okay, now I've won Pulverizer.  To do the Scaredgirl Rainbow strategy, do I just take the deck listed at #8 here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,522.msg5018#msg5018) and add Pulverizer to it?

I read that thread as well as this one (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,132.msg807#msg807) and don't see any discussion of Pulverizer in the OPs, unless I'm missing something.

[Uncle Jellyfish]

Well, poison is great for farming the Top 50 for Rare Farm decks that some people post, and it works well for AI3, too, but fire is faster. It's up to you, lol.

Wish I would have read this thread before I decided... lol
