Do you finish your last turn?

Of course.  It'd feel weird not to.

Do you "finish" your turn if you're about to win? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=42148.msg523995#msg523995
« on: July 21, 2012, 04:55:29 pm »
Okay, so your opponent is down to 1HP.  It's your turn, so there's no possibility of them using a Miracle or anything.  They have no shield.  You have Lava Destroyers with a collective total damage of 200 waiting to go.  All you have to do it hit space and you've won.

My question is - do you still grow your Destroyers before hitting space, or do you just hit space and be done with it?

I do.  I'm not sure why, but I do.  And it's not just with the above example, I'll do everything on my last turn, even if I don't need to.  I'll play cards I don't need to and I'll use abilities I don't have to.

I'm just wondering whether it's just me, or whether it's common.

I do, so it doesn't become a bad habit not doing so.

If it's stuff that's visible on the field, yes.  If it's against the AI, sure.  The one situation I won't is if I'm in PVP and don't want to reveal something in my deck that I don't need to win.  For instance, if I'm using a speedbow with purifies in CL, and I have cards in hand I could play but don't need to win, I'll hold on to them, unless it's something obvious, like playing a black hole in DBH on the last turn.  Stuff like purify, reflective shield, and other things that could potentially alter a game completely are the sort I'll hold back in pvp if they aren't needed.

I usually just play like it's a normal turn. Idk why, maybe in case for some reason I missed something and wasn't really about to win.

I usually don't unless I'm either not paying close attention to what's going on with the game or the opponent has a card such as Dusk Mantle out which demands I take extra precautions to make sure I win.  I also do this occasionally in the event that the estimated damage output isn't accurate on the HP bar like with Adrenaline or SoFr and I don't feel like doing the math.  Otherwise I end immediately to save time or hide the cards in my deck for organized PvP.

I do. (why did this feels like a marriage?)
Except in competitive PvP, when i still have the surprise element.

Also, i thought it can speed up grinding, but it seems that most people do prefer their win as certain as possible.

I do about 80% of the time. When I'm tired and grinding, sometimes I won't, but most of the time I will.

Yes, I do almost all the time. In case I missed something and just so I don't get in the habit of not paying attention to turns.

Sometimes. Sometimes I even play some cards I have and activate abilities. It's bad. I've killed myself by the SoBe glitch when I was about to win in plat.
