...is it a viable tactic at all as a Crux to just stack high size followers and spell cards? Tempted to give it a shot as the size 1/2 seem pretty much useless for me.

You can do that if you have a child sigma, kana and comeback. Otherwise, you're gonna have a bad time.

Just started this game the other day, playing Crux. Read a bit of this thread, made 2 kanas, what should I get next? Currently farming up vanguard.

This is what my PvE deck looks like at the moment. It can climb fast and beat most of the bosses easily, I could probably optimize it more towards speed or bossing but I'm lazy.

Cards that often single-handily win by themselves:
- Crux Nemesis Luthica
- Crux Knight Sinclair
- Comeback

Why don't you have the size 7 supplier knight? It works GREAT with comeback, kana, and Sigma. Also, I don't understand your inclusion of beach research, chrono clock, knight manager, or education results, since those hurt you more often than not in PvE!

I use to have dressup smartylane, which has a similar role to supplier knight, but a lot of the time it felt like I was playing with less cards in my hand whenever I drew it. Although back then I didn't have comeback yet and didn't want to rely so much on kana. I may try it out.

I actually got rid of chrono clock for warrior's resolve and will replace that with the new d.rare when it's craftable. I really like beach research since def is amazing in a deck where most of your followers are buffing their atk/sta themselves. knight manager is there more for base stats and being size 5 than her effect.

And like I said, this deck is not the best for either climbing/bossing but somewhere in between. The size reduction is really good against the stronger NPCs because it acts a bit like a heal. Since the deck has no problem fielding strong followers or decking out, life is the most precious. I don't think crux has good healing and I don't want to go cross-faction.

Education results is such an awesome buff, what would you replace it with? Possibly warrior's resolve, but I often run into situations where I want to super-buff one follower. Also it means you can throw out sinclair/luthica's ward much earlier.

FYI one of the ways to get a better winrate is because some of the top players were vsing the mules in ch3

Ch3 was by far the weakest channel the play just after the roll - im very pissed i didn't play there more lol

Ah well, next itme. For sure i coulda made a stronger deck in hindsight i know exactly what i would have done but yeah nvm.

Oh yeah that also explains the instant-quitters I met on one of the days I played, I thought they were d/c'ing.

Wouldn't surprise me if Wind was cheating, but that's kind of why I can't put any stock into the ladder system as it is. Undoubtedly, people cheat their way into the top 10 every season. What if your friend is in top3 contention and you don't need the points anymore, how easy is it to just bump into him a few times during the final days and throw games? Dumb system.

This runs really slow when I tried it on my netbook and USB modem (around 1mb/1.5mb DL), loading deck pictures takes 10 seconds and loading my hand takes a few seconds in matches. I can watch HD streams and such just fine with it.

I don't really play browser games so I have no idea if they should take that much bandwidth. Is there any magical fixes or should I just deal with it or upgrade my connection.

It has nothing to do with bandwidth. It's just a really poor client-side flash implementation.

Does it only do that the first time you load a card's image, or every time thereafter? It might have something to do with your flash/cache settings.

Does it always and it's slow for all the little animations in battles as well, card flips etc.

Tried on interner explorer now and runs a lot better other than a small graphical glitch, also tried reinstalling flash but didn't help the matter on Firefox.

Anyway thanks for pointing out that it wasn't a internet issue, might be able to come up with some kind of fix now.

E: Also whats the rough success rate % for upgrading cards? There doesn't seem to be an official number but maybe people more experienced have a rough idea.

15 minutes. Sometimes the tent disappears for me when I relog or get disconnected, I have to wait a minute or so before I get it back.
