This is a guide for all the starters who (like me) are getting frustrated on how to get along on this game. at first i started with the life element and tought that this was relative easy (only fighting AI3) . But soon i started to get interesested in taking on the AI4, AI5 and even AI6. At first i tought that it just was nearly impossible to get cards upgraded and book good results on the AI5 and AI6. But i did it and want to share with all those frustrated players how i did it in a step by step plan
.
1. getting started
obviously choose your element and start by modifying your deck to a 30 card deck .
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1190.0.html ( thanks goes to our global moderator jmizzle7)
2. Questing
go do the quests fighting ai2 and ai3 , selling and buying a card , get 150 points , get 500 points etc...
(after completing the 500 points quest i sugest picking the Fahrenheit card cause you could use it in a deck i'm gonna sugest later, but the weapon you want will depend on the deck you ultimatly will want to use , tho you get quite some weapons from dueling T50)
3. Getting ready to take on the Top 50 (T50)
this part is what got me some good rare cards and the money to upgrade. the deck i used is a fire rush deck (most T50 decks are made to fight a false god and can be beaten with the deck i use)
this is the deck that i use (this is the original
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11026.msg145422#msg145422 mine is modded 1 card)
5 fire pillars
2 crimson dragons
4 deflagrations
6 immolations
1 fahrenheit
6 photons
5 lava golems
1 hammer
Mark : Earth
with this deck i get a 75~80% winrate with 10% elemental mastery rate. the real sweet thing here is that you have good chance of getting rare cards and weapons. selling these (which you don't need anyway) well get you a 150~250 electum boost with each rare card.
4. upgrading cards
after you get 1500 coins you can go upgrade a card in the quests window. i advice you not to randomly upgrade cards you have in your deck manager but go to this forum and look for a false god killing deck that you like , buying those cards and upgrading them. i have chosen the 40 card rainbow deck made by Scaredgirl
( found here :
http://elementswiki.co.cc/decks/almost-non-upgraded-false-god-rainbow/)
and i upgraded 7 cards of this deck in one day following my own guide. (in 3 to 4 hours i think).
5. Going head to head with a false god
after following the previous steps you will probably be ready to go fight false gods. and with that i wish you good luck.

1st addition : with my thanks to Mastermind79
- alternative FG killers
if you don't like the rainbow deck here are some alternatives
http://elementswiki.co.cc/decks/anti-false-god-decks/http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5656- usefull cards to have and upgrade
yellow shard will upgrade into shard of readiness and makes the cost of your cards ability 0
green shard will upgrade into shard of gratitude and will recover your health with 5hp every round
white shard will upgrade into shard of divinity and will give you +20 max hp
nova is a good card that gives you one quanta of each element and upgrades into supernova and gives 2 quanta/element
otyugh is a great control monster that allows you to eat weaker monsters (less hp) and give your otyugh +1/+1 upgrades into a stronger version
scarab : like the otyugh can eat monsters to gain strength upgrades into elite scarab which has +1 attack
hourglass is a permanent time card that allows you to draw a card at the cost of 2 (or upgraded 1 = electrum hourglass) time quanta
sundial will stop monsters from attacking and allows you to draw a card at the cost of one light quanta (not a good idea to upgrade these)
boneyard : this death artifact will summon you a skeleton (1/1) everytime a monster dies and is a great combo when used together with otuygh/scarab (upgraded version summons elite skeletons)
bonewall : a death shield which starts with 7 bones (one is destroyed stopping an attack) but will add 2 bones everytime a monster dies and thus also good in combination with an otyugh/scarab
fallen elf : can mutate weak monsters like skeletons into random more powerfull abominations or random creatures with random abilites but can also sometimes kill your monster. upgrades into fallen druid which never kills your monster
miracle is a costly card coming at 15 light quanta but can be a lifesaver because it will restore you health to the maximum -1 but will then consume all remaining light quanta. upgrades into improved miracle that works the same but costs 12 light quanta
Tempic
