Deck Help / Re: Looking for help & suggestions to change my Rainbow(?) deck for normal-elder.

« on: December 24, 2010, 11:31:00 am »

whew, been trying for a while and I'm not coming up with any super successful combinations. I honestly thought a good combo would be an Amber Nymph with a Green and Red Nymph, but my attempts weren't close to what I desired... I'll show you what I had just for the heck of it.

The heal cards turned out to be very helpful, but I couldn't bring any damage, or at least not quick enough. This attempt was severely flawed.

Hello, I'm new to the forums, I just registered today. I've been playing Elements for about a week now on and off between other gaming and letting my friend play (who I introduced to the game as well). For now, I'm just trying to complete the quests quickly and gain electron (coin right?). Right now I can only secure a 90% success rate in level 1 Random, and even though that's good, it is still very slow and will get even slower when I start the 500 score quest. I haven't even tried a level 3 Elder, and I'd say I can only win against a level 2 Normal maybe 40% of the time. Even then, I haven't tried level 2 maybe more than a total of fifteen times I'm guessing, and I would guess I won maybe 5-7, but I'm sure I'm just adding a few for best case scenario.

I'd say my deck is based around Nymphs and the ability to draw cards quickly, hopefully nullifying my large deck weakness. I have just been messing around with my deck here and there, not really aiming for anything, so I can't say it's professional or that it even has a main goal or strength. I only saw a major strength in the Nymphs, so I added lots of cards that would help me get what I wanted with some variety on the side. I have the Life cards because I thought that the forest spirit, when using the right cards, could be a major strength. So to summarize: basically the first half of my deck is all about major permanent boosting by having the right resources to do so and having extra health for use of the Red Nymph that takes 5hp for +5attk. Overall, I just want a much better success rate at levels 2 and 3 so I won't be taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.

When in battle,  I usually start getting my Nymphs and upgraded beasts when I'm around 20-50% health. I never have had that many beasts, since I relied on getting very strong ones (used to use Chimera). Sometimes I get my good cards near the end when there is almost no point anymore, and sometimes I have my cards at the very beginning and just never have the resources to use them, until the end of course. To counteract this, I have the hourglasses along with a plentiful supply of Quantum suppliers. When I do get the nymphs, I usually get a Golden to help get to the end, and a Nymph Queen(?) after to get many more, which would explain my large amount of water pillars (next to time of course). On another note, I tried the idea of the first half of my deck based around the Amagio + Plate Armor + Red Nymph + Golden Hourglass on the trainer, and I don't think it did very well at all against level 2 and 3, though I didn't bother trying more than once since it was such a hardcore loss. this deck was 35 cards total, which I could post in a reply if you wanted to look for improvements.
 
Whew. I think that explains just about all of it. I'm sorry that I'm not looking for anything in particular, but I'm just willing to let anyone/everyone experienced mess around with my deck and give good suggestions. I would like to keep my nymphs, or at least some cards, I mean, I don't want to just nearly start over, but honestly, if you say it I'll do it. : )

And to start a good reputation, I have always made it my absolute top priority to have correct grammar/spelling and whatnot, so I'm one of "those" guys. hehe

General Discussion / Re: Elements Christmas Sweeptakes!

« on: December 23, 2010, 08:04:04 pm »

First, I have to say that I'm new here, so hello all! I must have started playing Elements about a week ago, sort of on and off between other games and my friend playing as well (that I introduced to the game). I'm not sure of what answer you are looking for to be the "best", or one simply deserving of a prize of some sort, but there is only one that keeps popping up in my head. While I cycled through all the possibilities, some being cards, rare cards, coin to buy more cards, or a gift to benefit everyone else, I quickly gave up on those. I think the best possible gift for me, one that coincidentally works for the good of all related to Elements (the players and moderators alike) would be growth. This entails growth in the community, for lots more to play and have fun and help however they may; this also entails complete growth in the game itself, to give the players more cards to work with, to add more goals and more rewards to go along with the goals, etc. To me, this is the best gift because a large amount of coin or a few rare or strong cards only shine for so long before they are quickly forgotten, but if Santa came and brought me/us a fat upgrade in all the right ways, then the excitement you get from gaining a few cool cards or a large amount of coin would be doubled and would last for much longer. This is just the most sensible thing that could possibly come to my mind, since we all love this game, and while those other gifts are cool, those are too much like a secondary present, so boosting the game itself is obviously the primary present. If this truly is the most sensible idea (to me), then I definitely shouldn't have to explain any more to you because it will have planted itself in your heads as well. Cheers! I'll continue to play the heck out of this game and interest as many people as possible, since I wouldn't like it if there were a great game like this one and no one told me. 8I
