Firefly Queen | Elite Queen

[bojengles77]

The card is one of the best in the game; a slight increase in cost won't hurt it too much.

thats true

I think perhaps the point is that the slight cost increase (6 to 7) is a much bigger problem for rainbows than for a Firefly deck. Since rainbows rely on Quantum pillars/towers, getting that extra air quantum can take a lot longer than a duo-deck since a lot of luck is needed, while Firefly decks with all those air pillars/towers won't be affected much (the same might be said for feral bonds). Therefore these recent cost increases might be more of an effort to balance rainbows than Firefly decks (or Mono and Duos in general).

true, both valid points

To me the Elite Queen is not an improvement over the Firefly Queen.  It's a completely different card because it creates a creature with a totally different ability.  That brings me to my next point...

To me the Elite Firefly is not an improvement over the Firefly.  It's a completely different card with a totally different ability.

Basically, you're paying 1,500 quantum not to improve your card, but to get an entirely new card.  After this so called "upgrade" the card probably isn't even useful in the deck you currently use it in.

maybe if that deck is a FFQ / emphatic bonds deck. But i personally use this in my rainbow for damage because it generates 4 damage more per turn essentially and gives you quanta which can absorb things like devourers, help with black holes and other quanta effects. I guess if its not useful in your deck then don't upgrade the card?

elite queen and elite firefly are useful actually, do you want to load your air/fire deck with pillars, that dont do more than the fireflies? i personally love the upped queen. it makes deck ideas all the more diverse, which is what we are aiming for in the long run. there may be a small amount of cards so far, but some of the upped cards make decks more flexible

A staple of the Air selection.

This card is notorious for creating a quick swarm offence, that also produces quantums.

Not upgraded, this creates fireflies that produce light, making an endless cycle between Firefly Queen/Fireflies/Rustler

Upgraded, the fireflies produce fire, which can easily fuel a large firebolt, or other fire decks.

Epic idea with rustler

Personally, I prefer the un-upgraded Firefly Queen, purely because of the FFQ-FF-Rustler combo, it's just much more renewable. I do see the potential of producing fire quanta, I just find it easier to keep myself going when I generate light instead. Also, generating normal fireflies also opens up the choice of using Hope...which is nice XD

Yeah...I'm not that great at Elements, tbh XD I'm one of those people who goes 'I know that other Elements can defeat Fake Gods easier, but I like Air.' I'm such a noob...oh well. I have fun trying XD

My fav card - I've been doing a Trio deck with Queens, healing life cards, and pillarless Golden Dragons/Hope - it's pretty fun, but is hard countered by Fire and Lobotomizing cards... hate that Fire Shield

One of the best combos in the game is the Rustler/Firefly Queen ( you can figure it out ),

[Ryan666]

I think that the upgraded version or both versions should let you use the ability more than once per turn

That'd be OP cause with rustler you'd have about a full field full of fireflies (4|2 / 3|2 attacking your enemy in one shot leading to a OTK)

i think the FFQs are just about one of the best buyable cards in elements cos its just as good as the RARE card Pharaoh. it generates fireflies that give you extra quanta per turn. no matter whether it upped or not, it still can be used in almost any amount of combos. i want more cards like that.

No, because Pharaohs practically make an army of Otyughs. Useless, at first though, however soon they will be able to eat anything.
