I don't find Lulabee, Hefty or Tomas particularly worthwhile in ELO.]]>Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:42:18 GMTDayton...? 7/6 seems to be the norm now.... Oxen, Sunder, Ngrath or even 8/5 Shifou Murray etc.

5 is absolutely terrible, but 6 is actually playable. Lulabee is actually very doable with her SoB, id even say Hefty is quite competitive.

but yes overall your point makes sense.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:34:42 GMTEssie, Eryton, Nistarok, Miss Lulabee) or 6 unprotected damage (Lulabee, Serena, Selena, Stella, Miss Stella, Neil, Dwan, Fabio, Jimmy) don't get used in ELO.

The minimum for a playable ELO 5* seems to be: 5 damage with pill manipulation or poison, 6 damage protected by SOA or protection: damage (Lena, Maazk, Hawk) or 7 damage (several playable characters in this group such as Beeboy, Bodenpower, Havok, Sledg, Michael, Lizabth and Dorian).

7 seems to be a tipping point number. The typical 3* character played in ELO has 4 base damage- there are no 7/5 3*s, there are only 6/5 or worse 3*s. This means that the average character can only hit to 6. Hitting with 7 damage means your opponent is extremely unlikely to make up the difference by using a 3* character. The simplest winning strategy in ELO boils down to hitting with a 7+ damage character while negate your opponent's own characters that hits for 7+.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:08:38 GMTELO score as me,but by the time you invest 5 stars in an ELO deck,the current meta at least supports that it gotta inflict PAIN. And 5 damage is pretty meh. Sure it can win rounds and protect at the same time but come on,even I,with 1300 ELO in a good week,would probably let her pass.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:21:47 GMTMinerva is not Skeelz' best 5* for ELO.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:23:04 GMTWed, 13 Feb 2013 18:13:28 GMTELO.

Especially against a clan such as Montanas, winning 2 rounds will probably cause you to lose with poor damage. Minerva is VERY good, but I still think Michael outclasses her.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:54:35 GMT
Where does Dr. Falkenstein come into play here? I said FIVE star. The Dr. Is a four star.

Things like Ditha and Aylen are glass cannons. Good luck hitting with them against an opponent who knows what theyre doing with heavy attack or power manipulation. I don't like DR on five stars but it makes for a good combo with Redra and a good fallback plan if you lose the round.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:27:28 GMT. 1300 record is not much, you have not been to the higher rankings of elo.

umm i am sorry but 5 damage is a pain dude. Id even say Dr. Falkenstein is a better card for elo (ignoring star count). why? attack manipulation. facing DR + attack manip, falk has to only pill once, whereas Minerva has to pill more, just to get damage reduced.

i repeat again, winning 3 rounds is viable, but you will cry when something like Ditha, or even furied Diana hit you on the last round and you go cry. and 3 rounds against something like Montana is just... not viable.

what use has DR on a 5* got? you see, all of Skeelz character has crap damage, and throwing away your 5*... not smart. most of the time that DR is just useless.

sorry Aylen is a way better option for a 5*, if I ever run Skeelz again. 10 life gap is much more appealing. moreover, you should be able to burn quite a lot of pillz anyway with your Sasha and falk.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:21:26 GMTChiara Cr, Minerva, Michael, Sandro, Dr. Falkenstien, Belgosi, and Sasha the key to winning Skeelz is usually winning two to three rounds anyhow. In ELO you're not gonna KO with Skeelz most likely.

Aylen is a glass cannon. She can do massive life gap but with no manipulation and seven power it's hard to hit. Same reason clans like Berzerk aren't used.

Michael is close, but he has three things going against him. He's conditionally based, has no DR, and reducing the enemies power is always better then adding to your own. Ill explain why if I must.

Two damage isn't worth more then all that. I do run Minerva and Michael in my deck though.

How is five damage too low when all the Skeelz staples except Michael have that much or less?]]>Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:53:05 GMTMichael. That extra 2 damage is essential.]]>Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:29:42 GMTELO. Have you seen Aylen? Eloxia, Michael? Not saying she's bad, because she destroys T2, she's just not ELO material.]]>Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:32:01 GMTSasha and maybe Dr. Falkenstien.]]>
