http://www.urban-rivals.com/en/presets/?id_preset=2533411

I think T Gaank tops Kazayan, and makes Dorian nuts.

Dorian, Nellie, Oxen, T Gaank and Neloe are core to the preset. I can't see X-0DUS being more useful than Rubie. The only 2 characters that I might change are Samantha and Cyb Lhia. I like Samantha for this week as it seems SOB will be quite good. Cyb Lhia is akward to draw with Oxen and occasionally Samantha as well but really in all cases (vs SOA, vs SOB, or vs neither) I'd rather have her than C Wing. If I pull a Bublgmm I might replace Cyb Lhia with him. Changing for Wendel or Jose Star to open up Deea instead of Cyb Lhia is also an option.

I've seen some interesting Uppers + Pussycats this week as well.]]>Sun, 10 Feb 2013 10:41:48 GMT
For most people 4/4 and 8/8 are the only deck splits they will use, a few might use 7/1 but thats a bit uncommon, Theres nothing bad about the 4/4 split but a problem with 4/4 split is that you end up with 3/1 hands quite often and one card is without their bonus. While this is solved with going mono not every clan has the cards to make mono efficient. This is where the 5/3 split comes in, some clans are more dependent on their bonus than others. For example drawing a 3/1 and having a freakz card without bonus is pretty bad, on the other hand drawing a 3/1 with a Skeelz not having a bonus and its not as big of an issue. Going 5/3 helps eliminate some of the rng of drawing your hand. By going 5 cards of a clan that is very reliant on their bonus, like freakz and Uppers, and going 3 cards of a clan who can live without their bonus, like Skeelz and Pussycats, you can tweak the numbers in your favor. This doesnt mean that 5/3 is the better split, the 4/4 split is better for most clans but the 5/3 does have a purpose and it does its job. As for the deck kitsune posted i would say the 5/3 split is better because both Zhu Tang and Shifou are very reliant on their bonus to do their job. Zhu Tang without his bonus is a mediocre 3 star, same could be said for Shifou. Anyways didnt intend this to be a wall of text so ill stop now

@DB-Stillborn - That is a poor 5/3 split, both clans work best with their bonus, If you were to keep the 5/3 split I would change the clans to Berzerk/Junkz (Berzerk having the 3 cards).]]>Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:01:49 GMTSat, 09 Feb 2013 17:24:09 GMT
4/4 splits is when you want the bonuses to have synergy with eachother,

ie. stop opp ability and stop opp bonus
-2 damage reduction and revenge
defeat: recover 2 pills and revenge

mono decks is when you want to utilize cards with support skills

5/3 split is when you are going for more card power rather than clan synergy]]>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:11:40 GMTGHEIST, why not something like this?

http://www.urban-rivals.com/en/presets/?id_preset=2531531

And if I had Marlysa Cr I would replace either Shifou or Zhu Tang and upgrade Diana to Leela or Lena.]]>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:32:12 GMTZhu Tang and Shifou are below average without bonus... all cards are...

lol nonetheless changes needs to be made. Methane?!?!?!?! Hriger is better in many ways imo.

so:

Methane --> Hriger
Z3r0 D34d --> Elke : this chance is made cuz i feel like you have enough damage, and 1 pill advantage could be REALLY useful.]]>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:44:37 GMTGHEIST 3*, the suggestion was switching 2 of the FPC for 2 GHEIST. Still a 4/4 split.

Hope you have hair still. ]]>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:11:44 GMT
You do not NEED a 5/3 split for every deck, you do not NEED to replace Kerozinn Cr to Wardom, Kerozinn Cr is stronger and non-conditional and most importantly why would you WANT a 5/3 split when there is a perfectly strong deck right there. If the deck that you suggested is better then mine, why don't you show us how's it's done with it?]]>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:11:52 GMT
Kerozinn -> Wardom
Methane -> Heitachi
Z3r0 D34d -> Marlysa Cr?
Zhu Tang -> ?

Zhu Tang is not the kind of character you should run in 4/4 because his synergy with the FPC bonus. You realize that without their bonuses Shifou and ZT are both below average 8/3 and 8/2. Not sure who you can replace him with from GHEIST though. They don't have 3 solid 3* since losing Dolly.]]>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 05:53:42 GMT

Either way a 5/3 split is ridicules and I will NEVER use one willingly.]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:39:05 GMT
You may have forgotten, but C Wing is the one in your preset. Kitsune suggests that C Wing be changed to Kusuri, making a 5/3 split.

Interestingly, I quite like that suggestion. Just don't unleash on me for saying that, haha! I see both points of view.

Peace and love to all!]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:26:23 GMTZhu Tang is 8/8 with bonus, 8/12 with fury, why would you swap him for 1 more star and less damage? Ok, I can see where your coming from with Deea, however Dagg is better against SOA card/clans for the same amount of damage.

That has interested me, any advice on how to pick apart a solid deck like this: --Necro--]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:37:49 GMTThu, 07 Feb 2013 13:54:42 GMT
for 4/4: 32/70=45.7%
for 5/3 35/70=50%]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:20:54 GMTC Wing -> Kusuri would make it a better preset.

In fact, I'd make several changes:

C Wing -> Kusuri
Zhu Tang -> Heitachi
Dagg -> Deea]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 11:53:20 GMT

@Fokakou - do what everyone does, look at the bans, get some match play, see what clans are around, build your to counter/abuse those cards. Hint: Roots aren't all that dominant, but there is a few running around (best put in a few high powered cards/SOB clans).]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 11:00:22 GMT The word you're looking for is "Moot", not Mute.
(Definition - Moot Point: A topic which, however debatable, is one that has no practical value, significance or relevance.)]]>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:38:22 GMTRoots being dominant?]]>Sat, 19 Jan 2013 04:31:03 GMT
OH MA GAWD

4/4 split - look how strong it is.]]>
