so my question is - what does darklore go for after getting 3 rites?

dressup sionrion seems like it would help cycle faster to set up another rite, and the individual sion/rion are decent rite targets. is there something else?

@Celerity

Kana is worthwhile if you have big followers, because it allows you to get something like 2 marksmen for 4 size, allowing for shenanigans. Also, being able to bring out 2 pump spells for 2 size is always nice. Its just pure card advantage in a game where card advantage is near impossible.


Well...it's not really card advantage though, because you may run into something that locks your field and doesn't let you snowball the way you want to. I think as your deck gets better, you'll find less reasons to run Kana for PVE. A controlled Crux deck will win on turn 3-4 most of the time and not have any need to try and get out a cheap Knight Marksman or something.


How you win on turn 3-4 without some spell like swap/shrink ruin day?

Anyone share their experience on FAST farm deck?


NPCs don't run Shrink, only a few run Swap Spell and they usually don't put a follower in slot3 to make it useful. Of course some games you get messed up, but it doesn't happen often.

10 buff spells, 2 Arrests/Shrinks (for the occasional tough spot), and 18 medium size followers = turn 3-4 win most of the time if you build your curve right and have rares.

This turn 3 win is for PvE right? Is it the same set up for PvP? You just described how I'm trying to set up my currently 90ish dp deck and it feels derpy as hell in PvP sometimes. Not as bad as turn 1 buff marksman into winning the game, but still pretty cheap.

You shouldn't be able to win on turn 3 in PVP ever, against a competent opponent. Crux plays more or less the same in PVP and PVE I guess, but you're going to want a few control spells (Arrest, Shrink, Unionize, Swap, Cross Cut, Meeting, etc.) instead of 100% buffs.

Reverse defence or +2sta followers are generally good

Otherwise +1atk followers are decent too

But each faction has their own good followers

Been playing quite a lot of this lately. Kinda addicted now.

It does feel rather luck based in PvP sometimes. Also, most dungeon fights are pretty trivial now until near the end of them.
Like sometimes you end up with situations like this, because the opposing character is like the worst possible counter for your deck lol.

Edit: Trying to save up for a DR spell card. Not sure which one to get get though :/

Gawd yeah basically i have to grind out 3 double rares now

Probably gonna have to sacrafice my sinclair + vanguard for the ep 2 and ep 3 double rare, and probably will grab darklore double rare in ep 1 with my spare mats (more ores)

Once i do that then i can work on actually building decks lol

I think the ex1 D-rares are pretty weak

Which is a good thing for me cause i'm not farming that shit lol

Still undecided whether i go darklore crux swarm or academy shenanigans
But probably academy shenanigans lol

I'm confused about
Episode 5 cards will be available exclusively through the Premium Select

Does this mean I will not be able to start crafting them immediately?

I don't think they'll be available for crafting until the following week.

Grind fight.

On side note, how do you guys beat the NPC on Crux dungeon that does +1 size -1 ATK to enemy followers? That's such an annoying ability to beat >.> (my situation is probably worse since I am Vita meaning my followers - even after ATK have been neutralized - just refuses to die and shut off my entire field).


It took a while to free up my board but once I did, I basically just dropped a sinclair in slot 3 with buffs in slots 1 and 2. Then I press ready 5 times. Then I move on to the next fight.

The key thing is that none of these characters run any removal, so it's hard countered by any self-buffing follower. Get like a mop maid or something for the GGs. In fact, most of the abilities at the high end of crux dungeon actually help you. Like the girl who plays your character cards for you. having 25+ size worth of followers on the field isn't a disadvantage when they're self-buffing.

Spend around $10 to buy ex1 crux boast, yield no rare card qq At least the components are nice, but I should have saved those tokens to buy bronze boast cards instead. I feel so stupid wasting my money lol

Ummm... the components are excellent. ALmost everything in ex1 crux can be used to make kana. It's basically the same efficiency as buying the bronze boosters. 25 per even a common card gets you like 5-7 ores + 3-6 acc worth of mats for kana. Unless you weren't trying to get 2 kanas... then yeah total waste.

I still think it's a bit more money efficient to use the bronze boosters (ore are very easy to grind and it cost 6-12 tokens to get those acc), but it does save some grinding time, as it made crafting medic knight much faster.

Some question: what is a good character to replace a starter crux character ? I aim for the bath one for long long long term goal, but it there any decent and somewhat easy to craft character I should get in between ?

I'm pretty sure you can craft them. With every episode, you can only buy their boosters through the premium select, and the previous episode's boosters get pushed into the shop. I think they just worded it poorly.

So I'm not sure where to go with my DL deck.

I have 3x Vampiric Rites, but after I got my Mediator Cabernet I found that I was using them a lot less often, and only in weird situations, so I took all but one out. I just finished getting 2x Forced Confinement for some much needed removal. Other than that, I've filled out the rest of the deck with Crescent/Scardel followers and some buffs that I had sitting around. The Midnight Doll Shows are filler too, although they have turned games around for me in desperate situations.

I'm up for any suggestions because I have no clue what I should be aiming for next.
