40enThu, 19 Jul 2012 21:33:30 GMTThu, 19 Jul 2012 21:33:30 GMTPiranas right now, they do pretty well. Although they do have the slight issue of no good, cheap 5* cards (I'm using Pesth right now, I'd much prefer Selma or Ahkab, or even Bloodh, though.) Their mindgames are not only fun, they're effective. In a 5-4-4-3-3-2-2-2 setup, Ahkab or Selma at 5*s gives Pill manipulation (In Ahkab's case, a dangerous fork), some decent power and great damage. At the 2 4* slots, Scubb and Raeth are great. Pill manipulation and Attack manipulation (Coleridge is a good 4* as well, nice and underrated but quite often an 8/6). For 3*s, you've got options. Taljion, Baba, Greesh, Ector, and of course Tyd, their best waller. Now for those 3 2* slots, this is where Piranas shine. They've got some of the best fillers in the game in Hawkins (both), Tula, Puff, Spycee, even Trey and Kalder can be good.

They're by no means the best clan (I still say Roots hold that title), but they're definitely solid. And SoB messes with a lot of clans (Like Rescue. And Montana. Even Jungo.)

Wish they had a good, ELO-legal DR though.]]>Wed, 18 Jul 2012 22:32:05 GMTJungo! Askai, Ongh, and Troopah!
So godly! SOB? You get one of these in your hands, you got the power and damage to take them out without needing to use the +2 life. One is temp banned? Use the other 2. 2 are temp banned? Use the one left over and make up for it with powerful 4 stars or a card like Nahema. ex for 4 stars - Greow or Scotty on SOA clan weeks. Buba for pure power. Need your own SOA? Psylo.
And Jungo got tons of good 2 stars and 3 stars to back them up as well.
Radek can bring down a majority of powerhouses. Nyema has good life gap making abilities. Hysterix can poison down to 0 making for some easy wins via life control. Boohma and Rodney for some attk manipulation and decent damage.
Meet some SOA? Ashiko. Need a Dr? Pengh. Need gap widening 2 star? Wendy. Attk manipulation 2 star? Mindy.
This is a clan with almost no weaknesses aside from the fact that you only have so few cards to choose form when making your deck. High base powers. Good abilities and almost always destined life gap creation. Get hit with a dr? You can count on +2 life. Get hit with SOA/SOB? 5 star and anti SOA cards at your disposal. Just hit them harder than they hit you. You got high damage cards anyways.]]>Wed, 18 Jul 2012 06:04:32 GMTFrozn obviously, judging from the hordes I'm currently fighting through.]]>Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:05:31 GMTPussycats and Piranas]]>Mon, 09 Jul 2012 04:32:53 GMT
A half-deck with 2-4 SoA in each half trips them up, but might struggle against other decks.

Good luck, at any rate. I still hate the Uppers more (Most broken of clans, but their teeth have been dulled by the loss of some star players), but the pirates are full of cards that are just made for headaches.]]>Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:35:09 GMTSkeelz work?]]>Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:19:23 GMTPiranas in combination with GHEIST is the best way to win in ELO]]>Sun, 08 Jul 2012 03:45:10 GMT
Well now that it's necro'd, maybe we can just use this one?

Also I fail to see how Uppers are the best in elo I get owned by the large amts of SOA/SOB
]]>Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:57:32 GMTELO metagame two years ago is so different from what it is now.

Also, necro'd on the same day two years after. Coincidence? ]]>Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:28:19 GMTelo ]]>Sat, 07 Jul 2012 19:10:14 GMTThu, 05 Jul 2012 16:16:14 GMThttp://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=2344772]]>Thu, 05 Jul 2012 02:04:17 GMTUppers are the best

btw this is a 2-year-old thread ]]>Thu, 05 Jul 2012 01:42:59 GMTELO. (FPC for example)]]>Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:46:57 GMT Damage manipulators = low damage
Power Manipulators = Low power
SOB clans = good abilities bad power and damage
SOA Clans = good abilities, handicapped by SOB clans.
Skeelz = Good against SOA clans, average against rest.
Vortex = Pill recovery means more pills used to carry out more attacks, basically attack manipulation combined with good power. Bad damage and screwed against SOB.

They all trump each other in a sense, forcing the decisions the players make, and how good you can read your opponent to be the soul way to win. some clans are better then others in certain aspects, but in the end anyone can take the W in elo, thats the best part.]]>Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:34:50 GMTELO, but personally i think AllStars and Uppers but that was when Zatman is playable in ELO.

I did 1400+ with that deck, still the bottom line is the strategy in using your cards.. ]]>Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:27:00 GMT

Pussycats

Wanda *1
Gwen *1
Yayoi *4
Charlie *4
total: 10 stars

Tyd *3
Smokey Cr *3
Hawkins *2
Tula *2
total: 10 stars

Well looking at the cards, they may not be top three, but they are what I use to support making them the best since they never change. ]]>Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:14:45 GMT
Piranas are one of my favourites, but they're nowhere near the top used or top scoring. Pussycats are far from it, too.

The top three would most likely be:

All Stars, GHIEST, and Bangers, with Skeelz on week that Caelus is free.]]>Sun, 04 Jul 2010 13:25:23 GMT All Stars, Pussycats, Piranas (Power Manipulation, Damage Reduction, and Pill Manipulation)
these are supported by others such as Sentinels, Junkz or Sakrohm,
GG's! ]]>Wed, 19 May 2010 07:40:16 GMTTaljion's Targe

Take this as a template and modify it to suit your taste. This is my absolute favourite deck in the game, but others prefer to substitute Selma or another 5* card. Some even prefer Kristin over Scubb (weirdos!).

Some of my favourite halves are:

Piranas:
Tyd 3*, Smokey Cr 3*, Tula 2*, Hawkins 2*
Tyd, 3*, Smokey Cr 3*, Ulrich 3*, Tula/Hawkins 2*

GHEIST:
Toro 4*, Bristone 3*, Leviatonn 3*, Arkn 2*

Skeelz:
Chiara 3*, Praxie 3*, Danae 3*, Redra 2*
Manfred 4*, Chiara 3*, Praxie 3*, Danae 3*

All-Stars:
Striker 4*, Marina 4*, Kang/Randy 3*, Robb 3*]]>
