Half Bloods / Re: Anyone else find level 5 AI to be way too easy?

« on: August 28, 2010, 01:11:18 pm »

If luck is with you then grinding AI5 is fine, howeverl its nothing compared to if luck is with you grinding ai6. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11830.0.html The rewards need to be increased imo. As whitetigershiro pointed out, theres hardly a good reason to grind them.

True true. I often find that if I'm going to win anything for the day it will be within my first five or six matches. Just the other day I got five upped cards from AI5 in a 4-5 matches (I scored a double on one of the HBs). Later on in the day I played like 10 FG matches winning 6 and won nothing, so I quit and did something else  .

Winning 6 FG matches without any card rewards isn't uncommon. I beat about 9 FGs yesterday with 0 card winnings.

Yeah. I hate it when that happens. I wish FGs were worth a bit more electrum. In any case, HBs are a mixed a bunch, I think some are quite easy though and may need their decks revised a bit.

Archived Decks / Re: ESco the Half-Blood killer (wins >95%)

« on: August 26, 2010, 02:07:22 am »

An interesting deck, I tried it out and it really does what it says on the tin "kills HBs. Dead."  One question though, is there any means to increase the chance of obtaining an EM victory?

Rainbow Decks / Re: (1.24) CC? Why bother?

Anyway, here are my results, just for your information.
44% win rate, corrected for all gods being just as likely.

Not really 60% but still quite decent I think  Maybe I need a bit more practice as well.

[edit] This is the original deck, I'll try out some variations next [/edit]

Thank you for the information! I won against Dark Matter just once and just barely. Once he gets out a Nymph its unlikely you can generate Quanta. Same with Rainbow, he just got a really bad draw.

I also once mutated an AI's scarab into a burrowed creature with  Steal. It ended up stealing a bunch of Shards. Really really annoying 

Also I got this giant shroom recently, and it helped win the fight:

Level 5 what I'm playing exclusively now, except for FG matches after using the Oracle. I use a Can Haz Moar Draw-Timebow variant which wins almost 90% of the time and I have gotten a number of upgraded cards just from playing repeatedly. My games take longer than the usual and I have to play actively, but I don't feel like going to sleep (like AI3 grinding) or banging my head in frustration (like having a long FG loss streak, I can't believe how often some of those suckers come out).

This is what I get for trying to control by mutating.

Yeah, one time I gave the AI an 8/10 Collosal Dragon with Megablaze when I "mutated" his 2nd Anubis. His first Anubis then Quinted it! Really annoying.

False Gods / Re: Most humiliating FG defeats

« on: August 22, 2010, 10:22:01 am »

Back to back games today, using my modified "CC? Why bother?":
Decay: 2 towers in the first 23 cards.
Elidnis: 0 towers in the first 16 cards, died before seeing how deeply the 3rd one was buried.
Sorry, I couldn't bear to save a picture of either.

I sometimes think of tracking these.  I just had another two with no second tower and the second tower the turn before I died.  Advice I have received on why Eternal Phoenix is easy with CCYB is funny: just don't have him destroy your shield.  EP's deck has 8 Explosions.

Yeah, I sometimes add PAs for "just in case" situations like EP, Seisem, Obliterator.... (It's a mixed bag of results though)

Which reminds me, I brought in 3 PAs to modify Puppychows's Timebow (Can I haz moar draw) when I got Obliterator on the Oracle. I drew 3 Towers, of course Oblit's pulvy came out, then I kept pulling out shards before the dragons overtook me... sad.

I don't know if this is that weird, inasmuch as it is quite useless in a timebow, but I got a 0/20 voodoo doll with immaterial.

If your opponent had eclipse/nightfall and a shield that let you attack, it's not totally useless. A carapace would work.

True true. Sadly it was not the case.

Random, Normal and Elder / Re: Whats the fasted upped AI3 grinder with a really high EM% ?

« on: August 19, 2010, 03:56:47 am »

Mono life is the best. Its almost like having hax and a cheat code. Though I do get sleepy after playing it for an hour, so I'm farming HBs now

This is very very amusing! 

Had a lot of fun fiddling with the Half Bloods and bringing out a massive Chimera
