Look at my score.. Darn it can anyone give me a elo deck suggetion which cost only 5k ? B**** Elo]]>Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:14:19 GMTELO and in Survivor, switched to Jungo, got my arse handed to me, switched to deleted and eased up to 1100 ELO and 10 wins in Survivor in one afternoon.]]>Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:10:20 GMTLola, I tried her out and she is definitely better than Rudy. Lafoote, thanks a lot for the info mate! I will take that into account when playing. As for Futoshi Ld, I am disappointed in Fang Pi Clang and I dropped them. They are powerful when played against some generic setup, but they are never played against a generic setup in ELO or in Survivor. They suck against power manipulation, attack manipulation, SoA, SoB, and DR, and there is no single deck that doesn't run at least three decent cards with some of these abilities in every possible hand. So...

After struggling to get to 4 wins in Survivor ELO and 1060 points in ELO, I replaced Fang Pi Clang and I am now running the following setup:

Elvis, Kawamashi, Lola, Melanie, Flanagan, Gibson, Qubik, Tremorh.

I prefer a 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 setup because I consistently draw excelent hands with it. Hence the reason I won't use Hilly Billy.]]>Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:47:50 GMTELO points degrade by a cumulative 2 pts per consecutive day of inactivity. So, if you miss 3 consecutive days, you lose 10 pts total.
I usually stop at 1200 and get 500-750 clintz based on weekly participation. 1300 is more time consuming.
Generally speaking, later in the week when more players have scored, it becomes easier to move up.
A couple underused card/deck thoughts:
When he rolls around again, get your Futoshi Ld. FPC is not extremely popular in ELO but Futoshi and Shifou together are the strongest set of equalizers from any non-SoB clan. They fear no bonus AND have equal or higher power than most everything else.
Hilly Billy is more or less a cheap, ELO legal Kolos. Even vs SoA he still deals 7. Matched with Dagg and Deea(or Atk clan) you create a this or THAT conundrum for your opponent.]]>Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:51:54 GMT
id say Lola over Rudy for 1 simple reason the life gap difference. yes Rudy has 1 more power and can lose still causeing a 2 life gap but with Lola, any card the beats her is doing 3 less damage (unless its a KO attack) or could do no damage or even better since its elo with some low damage cards your opp could end up pilling just to give you MORE life back (if they attack with Sasha for example you end up with 15 life after all is said and done on first turn) also if you put 2-3 pills on her you have 1 of 2 things happen, your opp overpillz for less damage or you sneak in an easy 6 damage and you opp is left in a state of shock and scared you are gonna go for another smack like that leading to an overpill error. dont get me wrong Rudy is good just IMO Lola can be used more strategically and therefore is better (havnt used much Berzerk but of what i have used i found Lola more to my liking) she also can be an inactive DR and its always good to have some back up there. elo is a life gap game not a KO fest ]]>Sun, 25 Nov 2012 07:15:04 GMTsurvivor and daily tournament will get u more clintz than elo unless u can get top 100]]>Sun, 25 Nov 2012 05:31:00 GMTLola instead of Rudy?]]>Sun, 25 Nov 2012 00:54:55 GMTLola but good luck to ya ]]>Sat, 24 Nov 2012 20:59:58 GMT
deleted

We'll see how I fare.]]>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:09:39 GMTFri, 23 Nov 2012 18:16:37 GMTELO scores won't drop so quickly. I'm unsure about the rate in which it drops, but if I'm not wrong it should be able 1 or 2 per day? Not sure. But with your score, I"m positive that you can wait it out.

2. The amount of clintz would not be too high. I don't quite remember, but I don't think it will be higher than 500. I only got about 750 clintz for getting into the 1300s last week. So don't expect too much.]]>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 09:44:30 GMT
1. If you don't play ELO for a few days, your score will slowly revert back to 1,000. Can someone tell me how many days exactly, and at what rate your ELO score would start deteriorating? I currently have an ELO score of 1,217 and I don't want to ruin it by playing and losing . I could use the credits and the clintz. So I was thinking about waiting it out, but I have to know if that's an option at this point.

2. Does anyone actually have a vague idea of how many clintz one should expect to get with an ELO score of just over 1,200? There are percentages explained in the rules, but since I don't know the precise quota based on ELO score, I can't really tell.

Thank you!]]>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 09:12:39 GMTLucy is better against the majority of Freaks, Jungo, FPC, La Junta, Vortex, Piranhas, Nightmare, Frozn, Berzerk, Rescue, All Stars, Bangers, Ulu Watu, Montana, Uppers, Sakrohm, Sentinel, and Junkz cards. Ivana is better against GHEIST, Roots, and all SoA ability cards that are susceptible to DR. So on paper it seems like Lucy has a huge advantage over Ivana, even when you take the metagame into account. The only problem is the price so far.]]>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 08:17:18 GMTIvana with Lucy if you have the clintz. I haven't tried her out, but I heard she's quite good since she takes away the bonuses of damage/life clans, making her an even better damage reducer.]]>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 07:38:20 GMT I took a very hard look at all the cards, and I came up with the following deck based on what RaW_Shanks, Hihihilalala, j00p and LB_Abnormal suggested. I also looked up some ELO public presets.

I came up with this: Flanagan, Gibson, Qubik, Tremorh, Diana, Ivana, Muze, Noemi. I reached 1,200 ELO with it yesterday Now I'm saving up for Clover and Eebiza to replace Noemi and Gibson but that's going to be an uphill battle.]]>Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:51:10 GMT]]>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:24:01 GMTRoots, Freaks, Montana, sentinels -- see how they fare against all those. Then, if you can have a fighting chance, or be even ahead most hands, your deck is elo-worthy.]]>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:14:56 GMT I will have to familiarize myself with the different clans. Also, is there an easy way to track ELO bans as in a history of bans, so that I know which card was banned last week but is unbanned this week, etc?]]>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:09:29 GMT
first when youre making an elo deck you must look at the banns/unbanns that week
which clan(s) counters the current dominant clans / characters?
which cards counters the current dominant clans/ characters?

for example if Askai/ troohmpah is unbanned, maybe u will reconsider using Gretchen or Eddie
or if there are no or little cards banned from GHEIST/Roots u maybe wont use cards like Jautya or Coby]]>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:41:38 GMTJunkz and Piranhas focus more like winning 3 out of the 4 rounds while clans like Pussycats and Freaks can focus more on getting a hit through and hiding (behind DRs or walls).
So it would depend on which style of playing you prefer.]]>
