What am I doing wrong? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=3630.msg33251#msg33251

I am using a 60 card rainbow deck.

(http://www.screenshotdumpster.com/view/m7Gbd50384/mydeck2)

There are few FGs that I can even hope to beat with an un-upped deck.
Tonight I won 3 out of 35 matches against false gods, two of those wins were EMs. (Fire Queen - EM, Morte, Miracle - EM)
Most of the time I would lose almost all of my coins, then play a few rounds of AI5 since I almost always get an EM with this deck vs them.
But now I have 0 coins, I had saved 20 after my last FG match to do a round of AI5 but I lost it as well against a destruction deck. <-- epic sad face

So, what would be best?
1. Sell the couple of rare weapons I attained from random pvp matches and continue epic amounts of loses vs FGs coupled with intermittent AI5 farming.
2. Change deck for epic amounts of AI5 farming until I can save up 10.5k coins to buy 7 upgrades for a rainbow deck. (if all EM = 132 wins, if not = 269+ wins)
3. Listen to this Russian Singer (
) over and over until my brain melts.

I'm leaning towards 3 since I think my death will be relatively quick and painless.

option 2 is your best bet, imo.  I was playing with a fatty rainbow for a while, and you just can't expect any sort of % against FG with that many cards.  hang on to your rare weapons if you want to, but definitely start upgrading cards with a slimmer rainbow in mind, and when you start to trim your deck and get some better consistency, farm those FGs till your thumb gets tired from smacking the space bar.

Don't sell your rares. You only get ~150 coins for them anyway; that's just 15 minutes of lvl3 grinding, and getting those rares again could take days of top50 grinding, depending on how lucky you are with finding farms.

With a speedy deck you can make 1k coins/hour off lvl3. I'm not so sure lvl5 can beat that. You might find lvl5 more interesting though, so that might still be a better choice. And I could of course be wrong...

If you instead tweak your current deck, consider going -5 pillar +1 hourglass +1 RoF, possibly swapping the EA for an armor.

I can't tell you how many times I've failed myself down to 4 or fewer coins.

Here's what to do:

Use the import/export feature of the Beta (http://www.elementsthegame.com/beta), and put yourself together a simple AI3 facepuncher in addition to your FG deck.  When you get low on money, punch some AI3s in the face until you have 60 gold or so -- maybe 5 AI3 matches -- and then go right back to tackling the False Gods.

Assuming that those cards are ALL of the cards you own, put together an AI3 deck that looks like this:
14 Quantum Pillars
2 Fallen Elf
2 Boneyard
2 Otyugh
2 Empathic Bond
1 Rain of Fire (get another one of these, BTW)
2 FFQ
2 Golden Hourglass
2 Steal
2 Dimensional Shield

Don't worry about defense besides the Otys and the Dim Shields; you don't need it against AI3.  Just make your goal to get a swarm out via Boneyard+Oty+Rof and FFQ, and Mutating it into badassitude via Fallen Elf.  You should win most matches with Elemental Mastery, meaning a single successful AI3 game will let you go back to fighting False Gods.

Use the Import/Export feature to reload your False God deck, and go back to work.  Even a 20% win ratio against False Gods is a pretty profitable endeavour, and the more you play them and learn tiny little tricks to pull on them, the more that ratio will increase.  Look up and try to build SG's "Almost Upgraded" FG deck, and then use it to get enough upgraded cards to build PuppyChow's superthin FG killer.


Good luck!

Thanks for the ideas guys. So more ai3 grinding, I hadn't considered that.   :'(
The rares i have are miracle, morning star, and owls eye.
I think it would be fun to build a ai3 deck based on those.
Ill post what i come up with.
