Every time I see "AI3 grinder" but then click to see an upped deck I both laugh and cry a little.
Then again, is an element that's not known for rushing or being a fast unupped killer.
Irrelevant.
Grind, in this game - to be able to kill something fast and efficiently while generating money and/or score from it.
Gravity is not a element that can rush or kill something fast un-upped. I come on gravity and post a AI3 grinder, which kills it fast, gives you score/money, and in that way is a good grinder.
You tell me that you laugh and cry when you see a upped AI3 grinder, despite the definition of grinder. We tell you why it's upgraded. You tell us it's irrelevant.
Where's that "Bish Please" meme again...
PS: Please feel free to laugh at old TTW study with upgraded decks, USEM, TADAbow, USEMosis, Powerful Wyrms and a crapton of speedbows out there.
Are you telling me you'd rather pay 45 k to grind AI3 rather than buying instosis to grind FG or plat?
Nobody is talking about the definition of "grind".
It's all about efficiency and optimization.
This is sub-optimal in every single possible aspect. As in, if you manage to kill AI3 with this deck as fast as 40 seconds CONSISTENTLY, that's still too slow.
Here's some math. Divide 4k (the usual 50% chance to win FG deck's electrum per hour) by 20 (the average you get for an AI3 game) you get 200. 200 games to get to 4k. 200 multiplied by 40 seconds = 8000 seconds or 133,33... minutes. As in 2 hours.
I really doubt this deck can 40 second AI3 consistently with EM every single game to get close enough to it's worth in it's FG-farming correspondence.
I also believe I'd get rather bored after 200 games of AI3.
Edit:
I just realized my math part was rather incomprehensible so I'll explain what I did:
4k is the average you get with a 50% chance to win deck vs an FG. By dividing that by 20 I get 200 games to get to 4k electrum or in other words - I'd have to win 200 games for 1 hour in order to get an equal use of this deck as I would get out of an FG farmer, which has an equal value. In the end, I get that I would get the same amount of electrum in 133,33 minutes or roughly 2 hours, so if I get EM (double quanta) I'd need 1 hour to get the same amount of electrum as an FG deck gets for 1 hour.
That means 200 games, 200 wins, 200 EMs and only 40 seconds per game to roughly match the FG deck's EPH.
