War #5 - General Discussion

[dragonsdemesne]

I would count at least the first three of each.  After all, you're fairly likely to use those in upgraded form in War; I know I did several times in War 4.  Unless you are a general/lieutenant or capture the relics that this war introduces, you won't be using more than 3 upgraded cards, so listing 20 upped water towers is going to be misleading.  Generals are just looking for rough guidelines to how many upgrades you have anyway; they aren't going to reject you because you have 49 upgrades and the next guy has 50.  They'll care far more about your competence than your card collection, though you'll want at least enough that you'll be able to play any deck they build for you.  You should have or be able to buy any unupgraded card, have several of each rare, (don't worry about shards; they're banned in War) and either have enough electrum or time to grind that you can obtain 3 upgrades each week, or have a lot of upgrades already.

Nymphs are nice to have, but not required, especially in elements whose nymphs suck.  Last War, for example, I can only recall three teams using nymphs. (time, entropy, and air)  Nymphs are normally listed on the auction form as well.

Alright, thanks for the answer, dragon!

Wrong answer. You list them all, period.
The rest of the answer (what generals look for, and such) is mostly right tho.

You will submit an auction application. generals may bid on you, and these bids may get you on a team (highest bids go first). If not, you'll probably get on a support team (max is 11 NOT getting in one).

Brace yourselves, War is coming.

But if not on the same team, don't go to the group asking for help for your War decks (i can see your decks that way  )

or maybe i would with misleading decks for your team to build the wrong counter... trolololol xDD

Forums and chat are running extremely slowly, and seem to be completely down for some people.  Depending on the circumstances, it is possible we could extend the auction to make up for time lost.

I do not know if this is the right place to ask this question: send me away if not... 

I am relatively noobish in the game -- started playing on last November, but I have been grinding a lot so I have a lot of cards, many upgraded and rares too and some ~50K electrum so I can definitely buy whatever else I am lacking and need for a specific deck.
I would be interested in participating, but I have not played too much PVP and did not participate in any event (tourney, war, league) yet, so I am not sure if I should just read-along to learn this time and wait for the next one to join, or should I just jump right in and apply.

Basically, I would not want to ruin the fun for others due to my lack of experience.

So the question is: what would the veterans suggest for me: wait and learn OR apply to join this event ?

Thanks!
