Why isn't there a real AI 4?

[Demut]

Why isn't there a real AI 4? With half upgraded, half not upgraded? You go straight from AI3 to Top50, and Top fifty is either farms, or far more often, decks built to kill with all upgraded cards.

AI4 could have four slots to make it worth grinding against.

Why isn't there a mid level enemy?

dont forget halfbloods (AI5). They have partially upgraded decks (less than half though)

what you just described is a stronger, more rewarding, Halfblood

i agree though that HBs need to be changed somehow.

Because half-upgraded, half-unupgraded AI's have horrendous chances of rewards. D:

Actually, here's what happened. Once upon a time, way back in the day, there was only AI0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 (T50). FG's were slowly introduced with Quests - more FG's were added over time. After a while, level 5 was the last one to be added - it was supposed to be a mid-level enemy between AI3 and FG's.

Half bloods start with twice the HP of a normal computer. Why is that?

[JJ 52]

Hbs are meant to be the step between AI3 and FGs, so they have some FG traits (200hp, 3xmark, etc.) but not fully upgraded decks and their decks arent made nearly as well.

I say meant because imo they need to be reworked to better do that job.

Okay, I just feel like there is no middle ground.

I feel like I have reached mediocrity in my skill level.  But I still have to play the beginner's AI3 because without an upgraded deck AI4 and AI5 are too powerful.

But I'll go play AI5

[JJ 52]

If I were you i would search the forums for a fast, unupped, deck and farm t50 to get enough electrum to get a few upgrades to make SGs almost unupped FG grinder then continue with what she says
(This is basically what I did)

but i agree, they should change HBs to make them more of a step between AI3 and FGs.

You can try unupgraded PVP too if you're bored of AI3. it takes a while but its a lot more fun.

[Higurashi]

Half-Bloods need less randomness in their decks, and smaller decks. Something like making some cards more probable to get. That's about it.
As for T50 unupped, I kicked a lot of ass with speed poison until I could up it -and- my RoL/Hope. 10 bone pillars, 6 Chrysaora, 6 Freeze, 6 Poison, 2 Arsenic (replace with whatever if you don't have 'em), mark of water.

[Demut]

I do want a challenge, but ungraded PvP is not a challenge. They need to fix it so there is a middle ground.

[Fallower]

Then do upgraded PVP? Its like an easier version of half bloods which are more logical!
Easier as in without 200 HP...

[Demut]

Doesn't everybody use fully upgraded decks in PvP upgraded?
