ELO rules:

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.

Not tried the PCs for a long time, any advice on how to prove this would be appreciated.

I like how the Vortex bonus works with defensive cards, and how much if a threat Charlie is despite her lack of power/attack manipulation.


Poison and plus life to gap.
Revenge works with DR.
Vortex bonus for pill return on bluff cover.
Etc..

Comments and ratings appreciated, especially comments and ideas for improvements.

Cheers!

My prediction? Pain.

Even with the increased number of prot: power cards, Oshitsune is still a major force in the meta this week.

I've been browsing threads giving tips on ELO, and one tip is to take a break if you go on a losing streak. After how many losses should you take a break? What would be the best thing to do while on your break?

I'm trying to make a Jungo half deck. The half will consist of Jean, Pegh, a Jungo 3*, and a Jungo 5*. I'm having trouble deciding who should have the remaining two spots in the half. Which 3* and 5* would you guys suggest?

ELO Haunted Portal

The basic idea is similar to a All Stars-Vortex deck I used to run. Vortex means your pillz will generally remain higher which favors power manip cards. With Oshitsune back Nightmare can do this better than All Stars because SoB shuts down clans All Stars have trouble with.

Before anyone complains about choice of cards: Edwin is meant to be switched out with Pan or Sargh depending on the current meta. Obviously I will play a different deck if anything here gets temp banned.

Explanation for choice of Vortex: T Gaank > X-0DUS vs. SoA clans, rest is standard.

Thoughts?

A little concontion I cooked up in my mind, and after seeing how Wolfgang and Oflgn scared many a player, decided to swap in Quasichoco.
However I feel Shazam and Quasichoco could possibly get changed out.
Please rate, comment and tell me your thoughts! :"D

Aight the thread in the staff announcement is too much, ill start a new one.

blaastar cr: WHY?! firstly, Cr, not everyone has it so those who have it should be able to use it. Beeboy is a WAYY better option for a ban, for there are quite a few 5* Bangers, bad choice.

Grudj: ok kinda weird but i understand a lot of 4*s for replacement

Troompah: good ban

Bristone: ..... GHEIST are kinda dead? that was like the only Dr they had, bad bad choice, should have taken like XU52.

Avola: yah makes sense.

Mona: i dont know... shes not THAT powerful, but Montana sure has replacements.

Jeena: well kinda weird she was only a defender... but ok its alright

Gertjan: FINALLY, finally yah this guy should not live.

Uranus: yes yes take this bad boy out.

Greem: weird, but i guess makes sense Greem makes game very dicey.... but okok they have replacements, and Snowflake gets the job done too.

Arkn: yah he wasnt that powerful, deserves the unban, but not really necessary ghesit has quite a few 2*s.

Olga: ...what?! shes soo powerful, should have been replaced with something slightly weaker.

Elvira: i dont know... Rescue are RIGHT back into elo, top tier now, they have EVERYTHING. bad choice

Yookie: debatable... he was really powerful, but yah replaces Jeena. its fine.

Mokra: NEEDS A BAN RIGHT NOW

Beeboy: as stated

Dorian: not insanely powerful, but there are decent replacements in clan.

what do you guys think?

I would like to venture into a different clan to diversify my playing style. I have been using mostly Uppers, Junkz, La Junta, All Stars, Skeelz and Jungo. Which other clan would be best to invest in?
