http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php?show=elo
1.) Deck composition
Deck composition in ELO is very important in order to succeed in the game. You can either play using a mono-clan (single clan) or bi-clan (two clans). The option is very open and wide for you to pick from so let your imagination go wild.
→ 1.1) Pure maxed card deck
In order to make a good deck using all maxed cards. You need to ensure a well balanced combination. For this to be effective, consider factors such as ability, power, bonus and clan combinations.
Ex: les piranas atomiques
→ 1.2) Deck with unevolved cards
The use of cards with stable statistics at their lower level is very popular in ELO to save star count. These unevolved cards are often used as fillers.
Ex: L-I-O-N-H-E-A-R-T-H (The unevolved card used here have the same ability for his maxed level so it saved the player 1 extra star count to use for the rest of the deck) & an other elo win ;O)
→ 1.3) Deck with a Leader
Each Leader in the game have different unstoppable abilities. Many people use them for this reason. It will be your decision which Leader you want to use in your deck.
Ex: Barre chocomuscle féline (Eyrik (R) was used to complement All Star’s bonus)
**NB: With the new ELO voting system, you also need to consider banned cards for each week when making a deck**
2.) Game play strategy
→ 2.1) Pillz use
You can use pillz to multiply your character’s power to the get total attack in your battles. Remember the higher the attack of your characters, the more chances of you winning the fight so use your pillz wisely. At the beginning of your fight you will start off with 12 pillz. It is your decision how you want to spread this out with all your 4 characters in your draw.

You can also use pillz to boost the damage you can inflict to your opponent when you win.

→ 2.2) Strategies
→ 2.2.1) Bluff
Knowing an effective way to bluff is important in all aspects of the game. “A bluff is trying to make your opponent believe you are going to play the obvious way but instead you play offbeat.”
http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&forum_page=0&id_subject=228594&subject_page=last#answers
→ 2.2.2) Letting cards through
In your fights you need to weigh if it is worth wasting your pillz trying to beat a very power card or just let it through. Keep in mind that many people might use these cards as a bluff to make you waste your pillz.
http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&forum_page=0&id_subject=229043&subject_page=0
→ 2.2.3) Offensive vs defensive game style
In your fight you can either choose to be an offensive player or a defensive one or a combination of both. Offensive game play is done when you use your cards assertively in a battle ensuring you win with these cards. Defensive game play is often played with cards that have (&ndash damage as an ability/bonus.

Viable due to the lack of SoA clans this week, this preset relies on putting threats to your opponent while you risk no pillz. Often by the end of round 2, you've either won the 2nd round because they put too many pillz into their first round, or you're in a strong position to win rounds 3 and 4.
Suggestions/comments/questions, please.

Going to experiment with this setup a bit, quad 4 Berzerk/Vortex deck because no one takes Berzerk seriously and #YOLO #SWAG etc etc. If this ends up being a SoA heavy week, Sprinter is going to push out one of the Berzerk 4s, probably Elvis.
Pros:
- High natural power
- Excellent DR penetration
- High gap with abilities
- 2 SoA offer decent control, even if one of them is situational
- Vortex halves allow for a more "mathy" approach to the game, with less guesswork and less chance of being demolished by an opening move
- Me, obviously. I'm a pro. Har har har.
Cons:
- No DR/one tiny little Defeat gap closer
- Heavy damage is somewhat mitigated by SoA
- X-0DUS only has 7 power, badly needs to be buffed to 9
Thoughts?

Most expensive card is around 3k.
Puff/Tula/Kalder/Taljion/Baba/Coleridge/Kristin/Miss Lizbeth
There's an obvious weakness to SoA, granted, but most SoA nowadays is from Roots and GHEIST, both of which are negated by the SoB. Which only leaves ability SoA, which you'll likely only see two of, at the very most, in any given opponent's hand. Which can be very easy to avoid and play around. It's the same reason Lizbeth and Miss Lizbeth are great cards.
Pros
-Extremely cheap
-Two conditional all-stops with good base stats. Not only are good base stats on an all-stop rare, but the conditional part is actually good because it forces your opponent into dilemmas (like what card to sacrifice to Baba) and it allows you to completely avoid Stop card.
-High damage all around and lots of 2HKO threat. Miss Lizbeth at 9, Coleridge at 6, Kristin at 5 (two different 2HKO combinations without fury there) and three at 4 (which allows for three more 2HKO chances, but with fury).
-Well balanced. Great round winners in Tula, Baba, Kristin, Taljion, and Puff. Great heavy hitters in Miss Lizbeth, Coleridge, and Kristin. Great utility in Kristin, Kalder, and Baba. All it really lacks is DR.
Cons
-Literally the only one I can think of, personally, is a weakness to ability SoA. However, I already explained why I don't think that's a major problem.
-Some may question Kalder's viability, but in reality and practicality his SoB cancels out most attack/power manip and he beats out cards pill for pill

My first Elo in around 4 years... Only hit 1264, and I would have like to have hit over 1300 my first time back, but still.
Nietzsche and the abyss
This deck was doing very well, the only losses I had we're stupid miscalculations (1 less/more pill here and there), and forgetting some of the popular nuances.
Do any of you guys play Vortex in Elo?
Which clans make up the current meta?
I'd really appreciate some rates and comments on my deck too so I can keep the preset. Will do the same for you if you link me to one of yours!
Cheers!

-Elo deck of the week
Soa is strong enough to stop the ability based decks (Montana, Pussycats, etc..) and a strong Junkz side to help out if stop: cards are opposing the Roots. Got to 1100 in an hour, not bad.

Decided to give elo another shot this week. probably will be the 5th or 6th week this year so far.
i have to say that ELO is now far slower than it has ever been. due to the huge amount of nuking cards, people are overthinking their moves each round. I understand this is not a speed format like DT. But do we really need 3 minutes each to think about each move?
some of it can be accounted to less experienced players who do not see that the game is a sealed win/loss and so they dont quit or play out the rounds to get the win. some of it is simply due to overthinking.
guys i flip a coin on 50-50s, there is no need to "read my mind". flip a coin and hope

Askai banned
Troompah free
Striker Arno Yookie are banned cards like Ongh Avola roam free
wheres the balance?
are elo updates done? ur only cares about having us purchase credits for new cards, where they can create 4 cards every other week but cant make simple changes to elo to make the game more enjoyable and actually want people to purchase credits?
elo wasnt as good when i first joined from the first years the game was out from what i heard, but from when i joined until its become a mediocre game where 50/50 run rampant and braindeads can go around random pilling due to no balance
where the rating system is just who can win more 50/50s

Because I Just got Andy LD but there are really too much 3* Skeelz to choose from,
so why not put them all in.

5 messages ryantseng - subject is closedI'm using Skeelz for my elo deck right now and I'm at 22 stars 7 cards. I can't decide between Danae and Lorna. I think Attack manipulation is important in elo and for Lorna, it really depends on what bonus she's copying so she can be strong and weak. On the other hand 4 damage is better than 3. I don't know which one to put

There will probably be a lot of these guys around for the near future, show is what you've built to counter them.
Here are two of mine:
