Deck Upgrading https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=51362.msg1099742#msg1099742
« on: September 29, 2013, 12:42:59 pm »
First of all i'd like to say hello to all fellow players.

I've stumbled over this game some days ago and i've been playing it quite a bit ever since, especially while i listen in to a stream or do something at the same time.(My current deck, since ''Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links'' is 14 aether pillar, 6 immortals, 4 dragons, 6 dimensional and a lobotomizer - the other one is one of those centered on the light dragon, with parallel universe + 5/-5 buff, momentum and 2 x airborne dmg)

Anyway, i have two accounts, both between 100-150 games played, most of them againts level 2-3, and recently been seeing some succes with bronze arena and 4, managed to kill a few forbidden gods.What i need is a solid upgrading path for my aether deck, which is one from the newbie decks, with the immortals/dragons/dimensional shield centered.I've been very happy with it, but ofcourse some decks flat out counter me.

While i am aware any deck has solid counters, or at least strugle vs others, i would really appreciate if someone would tell me what to add and which cards to upgrade first (i currently have enough for 2 upgrades)  Haven't had that much luck in arena, or maybe i did, idk, usually got to 3 in a row then lost, but managed get to 5 about 3-4 times, i read somewhere that shards are valuable, as of now i only have the Serendipity one, also an arctic squid, a rare fate egg and arsenic.

What i noticed that counters me, is usually deflagration/steal decks that destroy my shield, and i've been thinking of making an aether/darkness deck with someone's help.At least from what i saw, people tend to have very few deflagrations in their decks, and if it's a pc than i can just bait them out early and hope they don't have more or stucked at the bottom.Also, very annoying are the gravity/earth ones that give momentum buff, but since i got my lobotomizer sometimes i manage to guard vs them.Reaaaaaally annoying are the light, heavy focused on healing, and that Hope shield that renders me useless and ends in a Menu withdrawal, same as the nature/water that spams heals for every card, that is the main reason i'd tend to a deck with steal, so i can remove those game ending shields.

Ofcourse, of someone would have a better idea for a fund eck with good success, i'd be happy to hear it, especially if it has the arsenic in it, since i managed to get 1 on both accounts.Also would be interested in one of the light decks that's been beating me constantly, with a bit of guidance as to what to upgrade first.

Sorry for the read, maybe i seem a little lazy for not snooping more in the forum threads, but hopefully someone would be willing to help my exact needs with current information, i will appreciate it.

Since you are new to the forums, you should have checked out this place: HERE. "Deck Help" is a place where you post your deck and get help from people, and there's an extremely easy way to import a deck to the forums, link HERE.
Actually there are very nice tutorials that people made, available HERE

I'm not going to go through that massive wall of text (massive walls of text kind of intimidates me), so figure out how to import deck image and I'll be glad to help you :). Have a nice day and welcome to the forums. Good luck.
PLEASE READ THE TUTORIALS THEY'RE REALLY GOOD.

Yes, i have posted in the deck help forum, and i've done the same ''deck(code)deck'' but i receive that message when i try posting it, and it does not let me.I've also checked the newbie decks and some other topics about fgs but it's a lot of info for a newbie like me, and it doesn't cover the part i want help with ~ what to upgrade first and what to buy to improve my deck, it's just preset decks.

This is the code of my main deck
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61s 61s 61s 61s 61s 61s 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61u 61v 61v 61v 61v 8pu


Also, obviously i don't have that much gold, so i'd appreciate some help with decks that give sure success than experiment with unupgraded ones and lose the gold i have for not much.

@Ticktock - So you're saying you ignored his post completely...?



Anyway. The two decks you said seem to be a pretty common Mono-Aether deck, and the other sounds a lot like Limitless Speed.

An upgrading path for your Mono Aether... well, I'd personally recommend you to not upgrade it and go upgrade something like a gold or platinum farmer, while doing Bronze to get the shards, usually required for most Gold/Plat top-farming decks. (To farm is to repeatedly kill an opponent for score and/or electrum.) (PS: There are no "rare" fate eggs... Unless you mean you have an upgraded one?) There's not much to add to the Mono Aether either. Nor to the limitless speed.

Spoiler for For you visually inclined people that don't want to read a card list, his deck is in this spoiler.:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61s 61s 61s 61s 61s 61s 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61u 61v 61v 61v 61v 8pu


Your Mono-Aether will be countered by PC (PC is short for Permanent Control -- Which would be the deflag and the steal you have talked about.) Using Aether+Darkness isn't a bad idea, there are many good decks that go around these; for example, Devtal. (Devourer + Fractal.) By the way, you can't steal the "Hope" shield.

Last but not least I'd tell you to just focus on one account. Better off that way.

Oh, and welcome.

Yes. I am scared. Of. Text.
And btw it's Timetock not Ticktock...
And I DID go through his post. I just didn't have many suggestions; everything he needs is in the tutorials.

I would still suggest building a good grinder and working your way into an upgraded grinder: Mono :aether works in Bronze I think? I'm more inclined to mono :death, but that might just be me.
Oh and since you're an mono :aether lover, if you get your hands on this:

You should be able to post deck images using:

Aether cards are expensive to play, and upgraded Dragons and Immortals only get more expensive, so bare that in mind.

If you want to improve your damage first, you should probably also add more pillars to the deck (to make sure you can play your new, extra expensive but harder-hitting dragons). The alternative is to go for faster damage by upgrading Pillars. Your choice, really!

*Edit* Personally I'd go for pillars (they may also be useful in another deck one day
