The AI3 Farming Challenge

[Justsoneguy]

Mono-life, unupped: 11 pillars, 3 dragons, 6 frogs, 4 adrenalines, 6 heals.

I played a 40 min session only, and skipped all the spins.
Wins: 31  (15 of which were EM)
Loss: 1
Score: 779
Coin: 854

OK I just might stick to AI3 for a quick score grind instead of T50.  Previous to the unupped deck I used above, I played with a fully upped life deck (1 less tower, cockatrices instead of dragons).  It took me 40 minutes to get 1k score, but EM rate was ~80-85%.  Unfortunately I didn't keep track of that session. Before I use to do T50 grinding, but only averaged about 1k score/hour while spinning only on farms.  Much more variance in T50 obviously as the more farms there are, the better.

Whoa. You won more coins in 40 minutes than I did in 60, and win just as fast. (31 wins in 40 min = 46.5 wins in 60 min) I don't know if you just are a lot faster than me, or mastery decks deserve to be reexamined, or both.

[Kameda]

Or you didn't skip the spins.

[kintar]

I tested some of the best grinders for 60 minutes each. I skipped spins because the cards you win from spins have nothing to do with how fast the deck is.

Graboids rush: 45 wins, 4 losses, 620 gold
Mono-life rush: 46 wins, 1 losses, 719 gold
Plastiqe's deck: 48 wins, 3 losses, 769 gold

It looks like plastiqe's deck is the best.

Hey All, don't skip spins.  If you get two cards in a row it adds 5 electrum to your total prize money.  That's a 33% bonus to a 15 electrum initial win

With the lava golem nerf, pillarless golems is slowed down significantly.  I still believe that an immolation based deck is the way to go for speed farming, but the deck will probably have to be tweaked a bit now that the new patch is out.

Yeah, ive been using it for quite some time, and its gotten rather aggrivating when the lava golems became 5 cost instead of 4, it makes them that much harder to get out.

That is still a random number.

The whole contest is about how many wins you can have, not how much you get cause one person was more lucky with spins than another.

Actually, the contest was originally set up to establish how to make the maximum amount of money (ep) per time played, period.  Wins/Losses is pretty irrelevant -- if you can lose 1/3 of your games but win the other 2/3 with mastery in the same amount of time as a normal rush deck can win 95% of games without mastery, you're still golden.

Anyone willing to try my deck?
This is a speed rainbow deck I built.

Lifeloss Momentum:

1x Lobotomizer
1x Arsenic
1x Fractal
1x Steal
1x Lava Golem
2x Graviton Fire Eaters
2x Graboid
3x Lycanthrope
3x Forest Spirit
6x Nova
9x Quantum Pillar

Mark = Water


(Steal is for cases of annoying weapons/shields getting in your way)
(You can sub Graviton Fire Eaters with Otyughs. My initial deck had them. Works pretty good.)

Edit:  This works against some of the top 50 decks, Not good with the time decks with phase shields out fast though.

Thats clsoe enough to what i said.

Either way, its not about how lucky you got in your winning spins,, its how much from the wins themselves.

Currently empty. The decks with the best statistics will be put up here.

This is a great thread, but where's the best decks?

I just read through the thread, but if it gets much longer it would be nice to have the second post updated.  Not complain, just suggesting.
