Part Two; False God Killing

Once you have 500 Score, you can choose a rare weapon and challenge False Gods.
If you have certain rares, some decks are available, but if you dont have the right rare cards, you will have to use different deck

[/size]

There are A few FG farming possiblilities, You could run Liquid Antimatter (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17730), Abbreviated LA, which is the best totally unupgrade False God farmer according to this post (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25609.msg349336#msg349336)
You could also go with Unupped CC? Why Bother? (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23978.0.html) which is almost half as good as LA and requires 3 rares(1 miracle, 2 pulverizers.
There are also 2 partially upgraded paths, one of which is Flay 'Em! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20228.msg274359#msg274359) which requires 4 upgrades(6000 electrum) and three rare cards (Miracle x1{upgraded} and Pulverizer x2). It works just marginally better than LA. The other partially upped option, which works better than any of the other options mentioned here, is Rol/hope (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14533.msg418479#msg418479) which requires 6 upgrades(9000 electrum) and 3 rares (Lobotomizer x3)

Choose your Path

I choose Liquid Antimatter (#post_LA1)	I choose Unupped CC? Why Bother! (#post_ccybu)
I choose Flay 'Em (#post_Flayem)	I choose Rol/Hope (#post_rolhope)

Liquid antimatter

It costs 1224 , but dont start using it unless you have about 2K electrum on top of that.

Once you have this deck and more than 2K electrum, you should start grinding the False Gods, There is a god by god breakdown on this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17730.0.html) thread. It tells you what gods are easy, hard, impossible, medium and such, and also why. The basic strategy is as follows, play Antimatter of high attack and decent hp creatures, then play liquid shadow on then, and wait until your opponent dies. Once you start winning upgraded cards, unless they are cards in this deck, you can sell them to get moar electrum. You can also upgrade your own cards by clicking the quest button and the the upgrade option. Upgrading cards costs 1.5K electrum, but only upgrade if you have about 1K electrum left AFTER you upgrade, in case you go on a cold streak grinding False Gods. When upgrading Liquid Antimatter, First Upgrade the Antimatters, until you have this

Looks pretty good so far, I'm not sure if its just because its a WIP, but I have to point out that the instructions were extremely annoying to read, but that can be easily fixed, and a question is will the final decks be the same for each element? Or are the all going to be Grabbows with Pends and a few cards from the element? So far, I can tell this guide will be amazing. Keep it up!

[n00b]

Good job! It's not ugly, 9270984/NTSZNEF/Numbers/ognaM

interesting... but this post is a place-holder for when I think of something clever to say

[Cullman122]

Now I can tell it will look MUCH better, I can see you've been starting on the table, and all that good stuff, I'm sure it'll be a great guide. Keep it up!

[Higurashi]

By request of Mango, Lady Aether herein presents her three sentences on what the Element of Aether encompasses.



Aether encompasses an innumerable amount of concepts, ranging from immortality and immateriality to all forms of energy, all kinds of dimensions and the origin of the universe.

The Element Aether is the very fabric of the universe; the threads through which all energy flows, and an Aether Elemental can tap into this source to listen to the universe as a single infinite organism; therein lies omniscience, perfect empathy and endless wisdom.

An Aether Elemental sees the universe without time; it is all there, has always been and will always be, and the Elemental seeks immortality because it wishes to live alongside the never-ending universe; it is tireless and finds incredible fascination in all of creation, a sensation that only increases as it understands more and more.

[willng3]

I have been summoned.  Now for my three sentences detailing the Element of Life.



Life's supreme desire is defined by doing anything and everything it takes to survive and to proceed forward; it tackles any task with vigor, enthusiasm, and eagerness with the sole purpose of completing that task. 

Life demonstrates its abilities quite quickly and noticeably:  It is easily capable of overwhelming any obstacle within a short period of time, and it is fully capable of recovering from injuries swiftly while still moving towards its goal; it can completely withstand even the most excruciating pain and still push onward.

Nothing is more important to Life than meeting the next goal within its path and it will not falter in that endeavor even if it means certain death.

[TheonlyrealBeef]

So something about darkness...



Darkness is the element of stealth and deception, to hide and draw away attention from yourself.

Darkness robs other elements of their strength, while absorbing it to be used against them.

Although Darkness imbues others with fear, it is not evil on itself, though one could choose to wield it as such.

So no big black text or fancy writing! Draws way too much attention :P

Great guide NTSZNEF! I can't wait for the completion of this

[Terroking]

I clicked Water! Why does it take me to Aether! 1/5
Also, the color you used for the elements is ugly! 1/5.
Why are there so many table empty spaces! 1/5.
Also, after reading the guide for Aether, it doesn't link to anything else! I am stuck! 1/5
There should be 5 spiders and 6 poisons, not 6 spiders and 5 poisons! 1/5
There are shields in that grinding deck! 1/5
Your arena deck level is 0! 1/5

Not a bad little guide, though it's largely unfinished.
