how could they upgrade it as either general or soilder

My understanding from what serprex explained in chat the other day, this deck would be this for a General:

General Base ups amount -   (+9)
Nova -  6*(-0.5)
Arse - 1* (-0.8)
grabb - 3*(-0.5)
forest sp - 1*(+0.5)
deflag - 1*(0)
water pill - 5*(0)
squid - 3*(-0.3)
toadfish - 4*(-0.1)
SoPa - 1*(-2.6)
water pends - 2*(0)
fog shield - 1*(-0.5)
NM - 1*(-0.8)
Lightning - 1*(-0.1)

summing this gives; 9-3-0.8-1.5+0.5+0+0-0.9-0.4-2.6+0-0.5-0.8-0.1= -1.1

so this deck for a general could have negative upgrades resulting in it being illegal unless using relics or upgrade tokens.


Also take note that upgraded cards have a different ups modifier than their unupped counterpart. (deflag is 0, but explosion is -0.8)

ok deckbuilding looks AWFUL
i dont want to build decks and then need to spens hours solving simultaneous equations to work out how to upgrade it or if its even playable.

General Base ups amount -   (+9)
Nova -  6*(-0.5)
Arse - 1* (-0.8)
grabb - 3*(-0.5)
forest sp - 1*(+0.5)
deflag - 1*(0)
water pill - 5*(0)
squid - 3*(-0.3)
toadfish (upped) - 4*(0.2)
SoPa - 1*(-2.6)
water pends - 2*(0)
fog shield - 1*(-0.5)
NM - 1*(-0.8)
Lightning - 1*(-0.1)

9-3-0.8-1.5+0.5+0+0-0.9+0.8-2.6+0-0.5-0.8-0.1= 0.1

turned out this was a bit of a trick question, this is the only legal way to play the deck with general role.

i had hoped that 9 and 3 were the minimum upgrades and you couldnt have less but you could get more with positive multipliers.
let me stress again how much i HATE this

I agree that this system is pretty convoluted and makes deck tuning a pain in the arse.

[dawn to dusk]

Are the cards of elements not in war going to be adjusted accordingly?

[InsignificantWeeaboo]

They're still in.

[dawn to dusk]

  Aren't in war

[InsignificantWeeaboo]

Aren't in war

But their cards are still in

[immortal feud]

yeah, dawn was meaning rebalancing thier prices because of that, perhaps as example lowering SoFree because monoair SoFree wont be a thing this war

[serprex]

Based on feedback, modifiers have been adjusted to multiples of 0.5 & base upgrades increased by 3
