Fire bolt sudden killer 2.0 https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=18263.msg232407#msg232407

I liked the original fire lance deck a lot, so, probs to twinsbuster for the idea, and, after the pendulums came out, I decided to build a better version using pendulums.

And, that gave me this deck
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f7 5f7 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5lg 5mq 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 8pu


Some general tips:
Don't play a dim shield, unless there is a high change to die the next turn, yes, even if you have less then 18 cards left. Before I did this, I got screwed up a lot, because I couldn't keep the shieldchain up, because (for example) 4 shield were in the last 11 cards, meaning I didn't get another shield when I needed it. Exception: When fighting gods with direct damage (Like Fire Queens fire bolt), you will want some buffer, so start the shield chain when you still have about 40 HP's left (instead of when you are about to die).

Don't play fahrenheit against gods with bonewalls or bonds, because it is useless. You will only need it in your final turn, so play it AFTER you have used your bolts. Exception: your hand is filled, and you would otherwise discard a card, better to play it, then discard it of course.


Stats and tips (the last to columns are an estimation, of how I feel the deck should be able to do):
WLGodTipsCards wonWL
2049Total12 cards3684
41DestinyStay alert, you might need to bolt a mutant with momentum, destroy or steal, or an air nymph.Rewind, Electrum Hourglass, Fate Egg, Supernova41
21MiracleMake sure you get around her mirror shield.Blessing41
10NeptuneKeep an eye on his quanta, you don't want to be killed by 2 crawlers and an dragon that pop op at once.Shockwave50
20OsirisVery easy, just bolt the few creatures with momentum, and make your fahrenheit do the job. Might have become harder with 1.26, because of catapult, haven't tested yet.Pharaoh41
20ParadoxVery easy, make sure you don't get surprised by his TU spamming.Deja Vu41
31ElidnisHold your fahrenheit until you have used the bolts, unless your hand is filled. Watch out for TU's and make sure you don't get to much poison from her pufferfishes or this might become tricky:
32
13FeroxHold your fahrenheit until you have used the bolts, unless your hand is filled. Can be really fast, but I got a lot of bad luck when testing, he isn't much harder then Elidnis.32
21Fire QueenHold your fahrenhet until you have used the bolts, unless your hand is filled. Keep some bufferHP's, because of her Fire Lances.32
11IncarnateVery easy, but no need to play your fahrenheit, meaning you will have a long stall.32
13Chaos LordHard, because of momentums, steals and explosions, but, still beatable. Try to do as much damage with your fahrenheit as possible early in the game, because it will be useless when he draws a dissipation field.Improved Mutation, Werewolf14
02SeismHard, but with an early fahrenheit to whittle him down, while slowly building quanta he can be beaten. Make sure to keep your pendulums save, because it isn't hard to die, because you don't have the quanta to play a shield. To do so, make sure you have as much pillars as pendulums, and make your pillars the most left stack, this way, Seism will most likely target them. (Despite what the W-L says, I have beaten him some times before I started collecting these stats).23
03Dark MatterQuit, it is already a struggle to keep having enough aether quanta to keep the shields up, let alone building enough fire quanta to kill him, but, if you want to try, to play your light pendulum (as the light quanta will make his black holes even more effective, and (ofcourse) bolt his nymph(s) as soon as they show up.05
05DecayQuit05
05Divine GloryQuit when she playes her first fire tower. I have beaten her two times because she didn't get any towers.05
13Dream CatcherQuit as soon as she get BE on the field. In the game I won, she didn't get them.BE, Minor abomination05
03Eternal PhoenixQuit, too fast deck, with lots of explosions.05
01GravitonQuit, explosions AND momentums in one deck is just too much.05
00HermesQuit, too much explosions05
01MorteQuit, nothing to do about the poison.05
04ObliteratorQuit, momentums and pulvy are to hard to handle.05
04OctaneQuit, explosions to take out your shield AND gasses to pass around them05
03RainbowQuit, too much steals, explosions and momentums.05
03ScorpioQuit, poison everywhere.05
Based on my approximations:
Winrate (overal)30%
Winrate (played gods)60%
Winrate (skipped gods)0%

Nice deck. I can't really think of much to say besides win / loss stats ignoring skipped Gods would be cool.

Yes, I will add some stats like that when I have finished testing, things like win/loss against played gods, skipped gods and a normalized winrate, assuming 5 or 10 fights against each god.

after the update, I can't beat Osiris with every anti-FG decks
he can even throw a 9hp pharaoh every turn until my death

but with the upped sundial buff and the new card slience, there are more room for improvement
