Title: From Rags to Riches (How to get rich quick)
Post by: Anothebrother on May 30, 2010, 03:20:39 am
This guide is fairly outdated (version 1.23).  While most of the decks are still good, speed poison will probably not work in t50 anymore.  Also, there are probably more up to date guides around

EDIT: After spending time making this entire thread I realized that the poison rush was really really cheap.  If you want, you can skip AI3 grinding (Step 1) and move straight to Step 2 and grind t50 by making an account with a water mark and then making that deck.


Welcome to elements, this thread is meant to show newcomers how to go from a lowly AI3 grinder into a badass FG killer...

(this guide should be up to date at least for version 1.23)

Step 1: AI3 Grinding
For your first deck you should choose between either a "Shrieker Rush" or a "Mono-Life Rush" (also known as "Adrenaline Frog Rush").  The Shrieker Rush is based mainly on the Earth element with a little bit of Time thrown in, while the Mono-Life is based solely on Life.

If you choose Shrieker Rush, choose  TIME ( :time) when you first create your account.  You should receive a deck like this:
EDIT: You can now change marks for free so there is no need to choose time, choose earth (:earth) and try to make the shrieker rush deck below

Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4t3 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rh 5rh 5rh 5ri 5ri 5ri 5rj 5rk 5rk 5rl 5rl 5rm 5rn 5rn 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5um 5um 5un 5up
Now here are the steps you need to take to turn this into a "Shrieker Rush" deck:
1. Sell all your Darkness cards ( :darkness)
2. Buy a "Short Sword" from the Others section
3. Sell your 3 Quantum Pillars.
4. Defeat Lvl 0, Lvl 1, and Lvl 2.
5. Click "Quests", collect all the rewards that it allows you.
6. Buy 17 Stone Pillars ( :earth).  Add them to your deck.
7. Remove and sell all Non-Pillars from the deck except the short sword.
8. Buy 6 Graboids ( :earth) and add them to your deck.
9. Remove 6 Time Towers ( :time).  Sell.
10. Buy 6 Shriekers ( :earth) and add them to your deck.
11. Remove the rest of the Time Pillars and sell them.

Your deck should now look like this:
Code: [Select]
4t4 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 590 590 590 590 590 590 591 591 591 591 591 591
Now, you start grinding.  Keep playing AI3 with that deck until you accumulate enough money to make whichever deck you choose in Step 2.

If you did not want to make a "Shrieker Rush", and wanted to make "Mono-Life Rush" instead, here's how you do it:

Choose Life ( :life) when you create your account.
You should receive a deck that looks like this:

Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4t3 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bt 5bu 5bu 5bv 5bv 5c0 5c0 5c0 5c1 5c1 5c2 5c2 5c3 5c4 5c6 5c6 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f1 5f1 5f4 5f6
Now here are the steps you need to take to turn it into a "Mono-Life Rush" deck:
1. Remove then sell all Fire ( :fire) cards.
2. Buy maximum frogs (should be 3) and add them to your deck.
3. Remove and sell your 3 quantum towers and your dagger.
4. Buy and add max frogs (should be 1).
5. Remove and sell your Emerald Dragon and Thorn Carapace.
6. Buy and add 3 Cockatrices.
7. Remove and sell your Emerald Shield and your 2 Emphatic Bonds.
8. Buy Maximum adrenalines and add them to your deck.
9. Defeat lvl 0, lvl 1, and lvl 2.
10. Buy adrenalines until you have 6 total, add them to your deck, sell your 2 Heals, 2 Forest Spirits, 2 Rustlers.

You should now have this deck:
Code: [Select]
5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bu 5bu 5bu 5bu 5bu 5bu 5c0 5c0 5c0 5c0 5c0 5c0 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7
Now, you start grinding.  Keep playing AI3 with that deck until you accumulate enough money to make whichever deck you choose in Step 2.

Step 2: T50 Grinding

For T50 grinding, I suggest 2 decks that work well.  One is a "Fire Golem Rush" and the other is a "Poison Rush".  The Fire Golem Rush will work faster, however it costs 1474 electrum as opposed to the Poison Rush's 626 electrum price tag.

The Fire Golem Rush looks like this:
Code: [Select]
4t5 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fb 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9
The idea is to use the immolations on the photons to gain quick fire quanta to play your Golems and Dragons.  You can grow the Golems using the earth mark.  Use the rage potion to either buff up your own creatures or kill enemy creatures.  If you want, you may add a fire shield.  If you obtain the rare card "Vampire Stiletto", I suggest you add it in and take the hammer out.

Poison-Rush looks like this:

Code: [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52p 52p 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i7 5i7 5i7 5i7 5i7 5i7
The idea here is to use poison to kill the enemy as quick as possible as poison avoids shields.  Use the freezes and Plagues to control the enemy creatures.  If you obtain the rare weapon "Arsenic" substitute it for a plague (if you have 2 substitute for both plagues).

Step 3: Grinding False Gods

Finally, after grinding and grinding you've reached the point where you'll become rich...
There are countless variations of False-God killing decks as shown in the False-Gods section of the forum http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,87.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,87.0.html)

However, I'm going to suggest two beginner False-God Decks and then show you how to evolve them into two of the most effective False-God decks in my opinion.


The first beginner False-God deck I would recommend is yaladilae's version of Essence's Duo FG Killer:

Code: [Select]
55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55s 55s 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61r 61r 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 621 621 74b 74b 7n2
This deck costs 5469 electrum because you need to upgrade the two Otyughs as well as the animate weapon in order for it to be effective.  You also must have 2 of the rare weapon "Titan", which you'll likely have acquired by now after farming t50 for a while.  However, do not just expect to play this deck and win lots of games, you'll likely lose some and you need to follow a strict strategy as outlined on this thread: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5656.0.html

Once you kill some FG's and acquire some upgraded cards, if you don't need the upgraded cards in the near future, I suggest you sell them.  First I would upgrade 4 Aether Pillars into Aether towers as that will help out with your current deck and help with the next deck.  Next, I would work towards upgrading a shard of gratitude and you can add it to your deck.  Now, accumulate enough money to upgrade 6 photons into Rays of Light, and you're ready for your next deck.

The next deck is called RoL/Hope and I think Seravy's version works best when it's not fully upgraded.  At this point you should be able to create a deck like this (note, you need 3 Lobotomizers):

Code: [Select]
5la 5la 5lk 5lk 5lk 5lk 61o 61o 61o 61o 61u 61u 61u 622 622 622 622 622 622 6rn 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 808 808 808 808

This deck also has a specific strategy, which can be found on this thread: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6546.0.html.  When upgrading this deck, I would finish upgrading your pillars first, then the Lobotomizers ASAP and then I guess you could upgrade the fractals although you might want to upgrade a miracle or another SoG and try a different variation of RoL/Hope.  Ok, you made it, you can now grind FG's quickly and make money by selling their upgraded cards that you don't need.

If you don't feel like following that route, you can always go the Rainbow route.  Rainbow is a term in elements given to decks that utilize most (if not all) different elements.

The beginner rainbow that I would recommend is Scaredgirl's Time Rainbow (often abbreviated SG Rainbow):

Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 52n 52r 592 5c6 5c6 5f8 5oj 5ro 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5up 61t 621 621 6u6 74b 74b 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5
This deck costs 12354 because you need 4 upgraded hourglasses, 2 upgraded otyughs and an upgraded fallen druid.  Also, you need the rare weapon the Eternity.  Rainbow decks have their own special play style as well and for this particular one you should read this thread to figure out it's play-style and even practice on AI3 a few games: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1615.0.html

Eventually, you want to try to build PuppyChow's Entropy Rainbow, which is probably the most efficient at killing FG's:

Code: [Select]
6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u6 717 71b 71b 74b 74b 77f 7do 7do 7gp 7n3 7q5 7q5 7q8 7t9 80h 80h
Once again, for deck strategy see this thread: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1748.0.html

Now you can grind FG's and sell unwanted upgraded cards to get rich.

Step 4: Be Creative

Now that you're rich you can do whatever you want.  You can try to make your own unique FG farming deck, you can make PVP decks, you can compete in tournaments, you can try to collect all the cards, have fun with it... good luck.

1stly, this should be elsewhere, wrong section

2ndly, get some heal in that life deck, EM is very very good =)

3rdly, I wouldnt recommend puppy's rainbow that much, because of oty nerf

4thly, always up the lobo before the tower in rol/hope its better =)

It's moved now. Yay!

Well, it's intended to be a speed deck. As it is, it's fine. Replacing 3 Cockatrices for Heals can help you EM, but it also slows the deck down... it's arguable.

Quote
3rdly, I wouldnt recommend puppy's rainbow that much, because of oty nerf
The Otyugh nerf barely affected anything. It's a very small price to pay for a devastating creature. I still say that Puppy's Rainbow AHEM: FG Rainbow w/ SoGs, Supernovas, Entropy mark, 34 Cards, Permafrost, V1.22 Tested is the best FG Rainbow for 1.23.

Post by: yaladilae on May 30, 2010, 10:34:46 pm
I would repplace 1 or 2 aderaline for heal, having too much aderaline clogs up your hand

And the rainbow part, i was more thinking rol/hope is better then rainbow now.
The oty nerf can get annoying certainly at times!

Wait... you're comparing a card to a deck. :P

I really don't think this effects Otyughs much at all. Sure it's annoying, but how many FGs carry creatures that actually do this? Not many, and many of them have a negligible amount.

Quote

Well... it's certainly a lot faster, but its winrate is still nowhere close. It is a good change of pace and isn't bad, but Rainbow is still the way to go. It's slowly but surely getting challenged, though.

Eh. Adrenaline is the cornerstone of the mono :life rush deck... I'd rather take out Cockatrices.

If you choose Shrieker Rush, choose TIME ( :time) when you first create your account.
I think with the free mark change you would be better off choosing Earth now for Shrieker Rush.  It might be less confusing.

Directions for ya:
Take out and sell Hematite Golem, Stone Dragon, Titanium Shield, Enchant Artifact, and the 2 Earthquakes.
Buy 4 Stone Pillars and 4 Graboids and insert into deck.
Take out and sell 1 Quantum Pillar, all green cards, and all Earth creatures except Graboids and Shriekers.
Buy 3 Shriekers and insert into deck.
Change mark to Time (no cost).
Defeat Lvls 0-2 and claim all quests.
Buy 2 Shriekers and insert into deck.
Take out and sell 1 Quantum Pillar and Dagger.
Buy Short Sword and insert into deck.
Take out and sell last Quantum Pillar.

And the rainbow part, i was more thinking rol/hope is better then rainbow now.
I agree with this.

-1 hope
+1 luciferin
-1 aether pillar
+1 light pillar
-1 fractal
+2 SoG
luciferin is practically useless in this deck and i've done hundreds of games testing with it.
light pillar - same thing, useless.

also, He was trying to show an unupgarded version of the deck so not everyone has a ton of SoG lying around, especially if they're trying to run a bare bones FG deck. In general, this deck is significantly less effective unupgraded and i wouldn't recommend it unless you can upgrade about 2/3 of the cards to begin with.

There is a thread on this for more info:

Personally I disagree...if you're trying to farm for electrum personally I like sort of a half-way point between Unionruler's and Seravy's (which I've dubbed "Rasta's" since he first showed it to me)...its fast enough to still be a fast deck but its slightly better than seravys in win %...if you're just looking for win % i'm sure there's some rainbows out there that are much better than RoL/Hope

Been there, done that.

On a more serious note, rainbow decks usually keep at least 2 Elite Otyughs. You can use the 2nd one unquinted for eating it too.

It is possible to build Shrieker Rush without having to play any games. (Probably with the other decks too.)

Pick your element as Darkness. (It makes the most when selling cards.

Take out and sell the following:

1* Black Dragon
4* Devourer
3* Parasite
1* Dusk Mantle
1* Steal

Buy and put the following in your deck:
14* Stone Pillars
6* Graboids

Take out and sell the following:

6* Obsidian Pillars
2* Steal
1* Nightfall
3* Drain Life
4* Aether Pillars
1* Spark
1* Lightning
1* Parallel Universe
1* Immortal

Buy and put the following in your deck:

3* Stone Pillars
6* Shriekers

Sell all of the cards that aren't the following, but keep a pillar:

Shriekers
Stone Pillars
Graboids


Buy one Short Sword and put it in place of the pillar.


Change your mark to time.

There you have it, Shrieker Rush.

Of course an Oty can eat a chrsora, he will get poison, but can eat

First of all, i like to thank you for all the help that is given in this topic.

Now the reason for why i am posting, i've build a deck close to your shrieker deck to farm lvl3 with. After grinding for a long time i checked this forum to look for an easier way to get money. I've decided to go for the cheap option and try your T50 poison deck. I might just be very unlucky but with that deck i lose 9 out of 10 games against T50 AND lvl3. Maybe the deck should be remade/removed from the guide? I mean your Shrieker deck is a lot better for the T50 compared to the poison deck. Just thought you should know.

I did, i did read her topic as well, i just wanted to state that the poison deck doesn't seem to be that effective since most of the t50 decks use a lot of Shard of Gratitude, and this makes the poison deck not that effective, the fire deck works better though.

It´s very fast and don´t need upgrades. Very powerfull against AI3 and PVP, sometimes good against t50 because it´s very fast deck.

You only need 4 upgrades to build a relatively good rol/hope deck (obv. more is better)
And 2 lobos. . .

Or at least thats what I did, then worked on getting more upgrades :)
Title: Re: From Rags to Riches (How to get rich quick)
Post by: Kurohami on August 01, 2010, 12:58:53 am
4 upgrades? You are kidding? All the rays need to be upped, that's 6 alone, and you need upped shards too however many you put in the deck.

Lolz.

I only used 4 rays.

Post by: Kurohami on August 02, 2010, 02:26:59 pm
I guess technically it could work, but as to effectiveness, it would not suffice. In your post, you said "a relatively good rol/hope deck", and I would not call it relatively good if it has only 4 rays nor SoGs. Even a completely upgraded rol/hope deck has a low win percentage, without it mostly upgraded, it will be far from efficient.

Probably a week or so but if you play a lot, about 4 days(estimate).

The problem with the frogs on AI3 is if you play the ones that utilize  :death well. Jade shields, parasites, etc. The fail shrieker rush one also sometimes beats you as well (the one who plays shriekers, graboids, stone/time pillars, mark of earth, eternity)

It's a bit hard to get Titans for the first FG killer deck when no one in the top 50 has one... :(

Hmmm, perhaps as an alternative to Puppychow's deck you could post CCYB up as well. For some people it works better.

titans seem to be really easy to win as ive already won 2 and just started 2  to 3 days ago so far ive won jade staff x2 titan x2 arsenic x 1 farenheit x 1 picked eternity as my weapon choice also won trident x 1. i think thats it unless im forgetting 1 or 2 but then again i may be lol. i wish i could win an owls eye....i dont like air much but i love the weapon. these werent all on the same accounts though....think arsenic and farenheit was on a diff one when i was tryin out a diff element. i also won one of those rare things that produce scarabs...  :life :life :life

Really nice guide. This is helping me a lot, as a new  player I was a bit lost. This guide is a smart path to follow. Right now I can successfully farm t50 and I'm trying to decide wich deck I should pick for FGs...since i have´t got any luck getting Eternity might go for yaladilae's.

My problem currently is that all the T50 SoGs are messing up my poison. >_< It's annoying to go from 499 score to 200 in 20 minutes.

Poison rush is a fail deck IMHO. I made it, tried it on AI5 and AI3, loss almost every time.

Poison rushes are rather ineffective in T50 due to the prevalence of Shard of Gratitude. Try one of the decks in the unupped T50 deck archive -- http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11026.0.html

The Fire Grinding Deck for T50 is very good..i added in a couple upped shards just to make it a bit longer lasting (shard of readiness, divinity)
The only thing i would change is replace like 2 pillars with pendulums so you can produce enough earth to constantly
up all of your Golems.
Hope this helps ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

In The Fire Golem Rush deck , wouldnt it be better if we used phoenixes instead of photons(also provided u have the extra  :electrum)

then instead of using immolation on photon , we can use it on the phoenixes and still do more damage!!

how do you plan to summon phoenixes within the first 2 turns?

6 MP? 9k electrum? I think i would invest that into a FG farmer...

lol i spend more time on this tab then on the game!!

and both AI3 grinding decks work masterfully!! :D

but the shrieker rush isnt too good for pvp 1(won 2 out of 5) but the mono life rush also works well in pvp1(won 4 out of 5 battles with it) ;D  :P

and for the T50grinding , i just require 3 more lava golems and 6 photons!!

wish me luck!! :P

and could some1 tell me how to win another rare weapon??
Title: Re: From Rags to Riches (How to get rich quick)
Post by: Cowsayshonk on April 20, 2011, 01:31:52 am
you can win rare weapons from any games against elders, T50, half blood and false gods. usually T50 is the best place to get rare weapons though

Title: Re: From Rags to Riches (How to get rich quick)
Post by: alka on April 20, 2011, 06:23:29 am
Vidurkhanna you have to fight with Top 50, lvl 3, Half-Blood or with False God.
But the Top 50 is the best to get rare weapons.

Just started, and the poison deck doesn't actually beat top 50 (and I assume no deck can).  I'm guessing this game has the internet ccg fallacy of assuming people can't get maximum of every card just because they're rarer?

Not really.

The guide is outdated; Speed Poison is not ideal for T50 because of all the decks with Shard of Gratitude and other healing out there. An Immorush like Grabbix (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16828.0.html) would work better as an unupped deck; if you don't have an Arsenic, replace it with a Hammer.

Just like Pikachu said, that poison deck does not really work against Top 50. Plus some Rainbows carry Purifies that render it useless

The "death" Plague rush is amazing fun :)

I have both the fire golem rush and plague rush...

And i use to plague rush and farm pvp1 with it...

you win most lose a few it happens... get a good hand where you can get 10 - 15 poison by turn 2 - 4 and you pretty much won

Other rush decks like golem rush pose you a problem though naturally

First of all, i like to thank you for all the help that is given in this topic.

Now the reason for why i am posting, i've build a deck close to your shrieker deck to farm lvl3 with. After grinding for a long time i checked this forum to look for an easier way to get money. I've decided to go for the cheap option and try your T50 poison deck. I might just be very unlucky but with that deck i lose 9 out of 10 games against T50 AND lvl3. Maybe the deck should be remade/removed from the guide? I mean your Shrieker deck is a lot better for the T50 compared to the poison deck. Just thought you should know.
pretty much my story on this too...even the golem deck i lose a ton
