It hurts a lot to lose the 1st round by 1 less Attack such as 20 vs 21 for example.
It's annoying when enemy use Pills Manipulator cuz u don't know if how many pill they'd use.
If u lose they get more pills or u have less pills, if u win u may Over Pill which is sad... Of cuz u want to win by 1 Attack higher than enemy. Or Win with similar Pills spent. But this is what keeps this Guessing Game going.

they are walls.. high pow and low to mediocre damage.. usually 2-3 *s..

DRs are considered blockers.. main usage is to block and rarely attack..

both may be used to defend or attack depending on tactics..

and lastly the nukes or nukers.. high damage cards.. may it be raw damage or ability based..
usually 4-5 *s..]]>Sun, 27 Mar 2011 16:02:02 GMTLehane or Puff for exemple)]]>Sun, 19 Dec 2010 20:33:44 GMTChloe (depending on the deck, works VERY well with Ambre)]]>Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:28:06 GMTPussycats, my opening play always involves conservative pill use. (unless i draw a poisoner, in which case i will almost always try to get the poison in) by not pilling a lot in the opening round, you will be able to count pills. also, get used to thinking in black jack terms. always assume that you'll get screwed.
possum baiting opening - pretend you're throwing away a card in the opening but slip a couple of pillz in. this strategy is good if you draw a hand with atk/pwr/pillz manipulators.
disadvantage: can't be used when opponent has cards in hand with devastating abilities (pill/life manipulation)
SOA no pillz opening - when the opponent have threatening abilities (+/1 pillz/life/opp life) they'll avoid the SOA and use other cards. you can then concentrate your pillz on beating their main card.
disadvantages: if the opponent card has high damage, you're screwed.
atk manipulator opening no pillz - don't pill an attack manipulator and watch as your opponent try to pill and beat them or just take the damage. either way, you will be at a life or pill advantage.]]>Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:47:36 GMTJungo, Fang Pi, Freaks) with a low pill clan (like Uppers, Sakrohm, Junkz/Sentinels). Then you use lots of pills in rnd 1 and 2 but can still win in 3 and 4 with low pillz. Especially great cards to save for last: Skiner, Rowdy, Keanew, Mindy, Esmerelda, etc. These cards can win with no or 1 or 2 pillz, once your opponent has spent most of theirs.

Cards like Dahlia and Naginata have to be played first to be effective. I've found it wise to lead with 6-7 pillz on Dahlia, while 2 on Naginata is best. Dahlia can win most battles because she has SoB, but Naginata can be beat even when you pill high on her, and then you're screwed. Now, if your opponnet has SOA or damage reduction, then 3 or 4 pillz on these is the way to go.]]>Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:02:46 GMTFreaks players tend to play heavy round 1 and 2 for the poison. Players often bluff or pill heavily on - pill cards. Players don't pill much when they have cards like Eklore and Morphun in their hand.

Rescue pill 2-4 each card.

But then there's players like me who pill strictly on predicting your opponent's pill use. This generally means you win by small margins or lose by small margins in the matchup. It's benefit is obvious, pill use is conservative (for the most part, unless you think they are pilling high and you want to win it anyway). This week I played Skeelz All Stars (Caelus was playable in elo this week) and my favorite move was a 5 pill Marina turn 1. Beat just about anything, and since the dmg is high enough people tend to pill against it, but if you lose, they do very little dmg. I also vote to ban Marina every week it seems lol.

In elo especially, the 5 star cards tend to receive higher pill use. Expect 1-3 pill use from 2 star cards, and expect 4-6 pill use from 4-5 star cards. (Only in elo)

Dmg reduction cards typically see 0-2 pill use. Most advanced players play 1 pill on a dmg reduction card because they win more fights than they should.]]>Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:26:31 GMTTimber ---------> 6 pillz-starting is over with and NOT fancy no more once you reach lvl 15.

very well written, good guide ]]>Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:27:22 GMT random pill between using 2-4pills for each card (not using 1 pill, that's obvious)

Advantages:
- work well on Hugo+Montana, Rescue, any +/-attack manipulation
- work extremely well on high level player (you have to be high level as well)
- work well on DT
- too random to be predicted
- less drawback in case you lose (since you do not pill too much)

Disadvantages:
- piranah who work on same principle, random pill usage, remove +/-bonus
- player who never count attack and random pill

of all pill technique i've encounter, this prove to be the most challenging to fight against...
especially at high level when people think you only use 1-2pill or maybe none...
but in fact you just play it blindly...

at high level ELO non-random fight, i believe experienced player use their pill wisely
but due to that reason, they tend to count and predict your pill usage
they tend to judge your ability based on level...
they tend to judge the amount of time you spent in making move...
and all that precaution tend to slip the very basic idea that you just never count...

sound stupid...but the only time i lose to clan like Rescue and Montana+Hugo
is the time when i just predict too much of enemy movement,
making too much assumption of enemy bluffing with 0-2pill]]>Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:46:54 GMTPetra no pillz?]]>Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:09:04 GMTPetra 1 pill at the beggining.i do that because i play with the Piranas..so if they overpill my Piranas will crush em. so they let my Petra go away,and it happened like 20 times to put a DR.They always do it when they get it in hand.and i get 2-3 DMG for only 1pill its a great move.

Kinda same thing with Selma. if i play her first i put her 1 pillz. peoples lots of times overpill or use a DMG reducer or SOA. its very hard to predict what i will do..of course thanks to allmighty Piranas pillz manipulation- especially when i get my Hawkins in there

got what i saying?? ]]>Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:58:57 GMTVickie Cr with 1 pill If you win then its pretty much game over.]]>Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:06:11 GMT
