I picked Legendary Dragons the first time, just for the trophy, then Sacred War every time after that.
Got a card with Yoshitaka Amano artwork!

Just bought this and spent an hour or so with it. Very fun.
This has the potential to be very addicting.

Did someone say card games?

Played a couple of games with kassatsu earlier. Good stuff, even though he stomped me both times. :lol
Finally got my Bird of Paradise too. After getting something like six or seven Dullahans in a row. Ridiculous.

I'm about an hour in and was wondering how exactly do I combine multiples of the same card to make them stronger? Read about in the tutorial but have no idea how to do it. Is this something that unlocks later in the game or something?

Didn't the card artists work on Culdcept? The art looks familiar and the creatures are similar.

It's weird. It technically unlocks later in the game, when you get to the Witch's Lair or whatever, but the thing is, if you go into Multiplayer mode, you can access it right away.
But since you're only an hour in, you probably don't have enough multiples to strengthen anything. You need five copies of a common, four of an uncommon, or three of a rare to strengthen.
Dr. Kitty Muffins said:
Yeah, I believe so. There's also card art from other stuff like Square-Enix's Lords of Arcana as well. And of course, Yoshitaka Amano.

Ah cool. Yeah I haven't even looked at the multiplayer component yet because I don't want to waste any tickets. Is there anything else going on in the multiplayer that I'm missing out on by holding off?
I got my first rare, the creature with both the fire and the wood attack. Honestly doesn't seem like it's worth the cost at all. But I still am not really sure what I'm doing with my main strategy right now being to boost up the agility and attack of my unicorn creature and my giant whale guy with everything else to stall. It's been pretty effective so far.
For 99 cents this game is an absolute blast. Sony should have been giving this out to PS+ers for free though, I mean it's only a dollar but there would be a lot more people playing if it was free and actually had been advertised.

darkside31337 said:
Well, there's the free tournaments going on as well (doesn't require tickets). The current one running is a "best of 3" tournament, so you have to have a deck set with at least two decks in it to participate. It ends tonight at 8PM EST, so if you want to get in, you should do it soon. Just a tip though. If you'd rather have the 5 free tickets than the super rare card, don't get into the top 40% of the rankings.
And yeah, I was just thinking about this game and PS+. Would be an excellent one to give away for free.

Seraphis Cain said:
Awesome I'll definitely try to get some games in when I get home from work. It'll be a close race against time.
Is there a minimum amount of games you have to play in the tournament or something? Not really getting how it works. Wouldn't winning 1 match put you in the top 85%?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
darkside31337 said:
Pretty much, yeah. There's no minimum, only a maximum (in best of 3, it's 5, in single win, it's 10). If you just want to get in the top 85%, I'd only play one match. Well, that's if you win. If you lose, obviously you'd have to play more. But you do still get points towards the rankings even if you lose.

Seraphis Cain said:
So do the free tournaments still give out the cards after every match like regular ranked online play? Or is the only benefit the free tickets / super rare card?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
darkside31337 said:
Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that. No, you don't get cards after the tournament games. The only benefit is the prizes.
And regarding the prizes, you don't get them right after the tournament ends. What you have to do is wait 24 hours after the end of the tournament, THEN go back into Multiplayer to claim your prize. For example, the tournament ends at 8PM EST tonight. That means the prizes won't be available until 8PM Monday night. That should also be when the new tournament starts.

Sounds good. How strong are most decks you've played across so far online? I get the feeling I probably shouldn't waste my time since I'm only on the 4th stage right now but if it's free I guess theres no harm in giving it a shot.
Seraphis Cain

darkside31337 said:
It really sorta depends. I've seen people using the starter cards you're given at the start of the game, and I've seen some pretty powerful decks as well. It just varies, I guess. I'd say overall, though, weaker decks do seem to be a bit more prevalent than stronger ones.

kassatsu said:
Yeah, I propose if we ever have any sort of GAF tournament, the Sphinx/Grimoire combo should definitely be banned. I won't use it against GAFfers anymore, that's for sure. :lol
I don't really mind the combo, since a lot of people also run the consecutive attack + grimoire combo. As long as you shutdown grimoire, the whole combo collapses. So it's a good idea to have an anti-grimoire deck in your set of 3.
There are actually a lot of ways to do this with just the starter cards. For example, Gargoyle's reversal ability will wreck Sphinx decks, and Dullahan / Twin Witch (Passive ability to reduce consec atk damage to 0 on your summoned monster) will shut down grimoire decks in general. The easiest way of course, is to simply use a Light / Yellow themed deck, with a card that can one-shot grimoire turn 1.

Do you still get a card if you surrender? (Or do only winners get a card? I haven't played online yet.)Toki767 said:

I missed out on the last tourney, what were the rewards for that?

kassatsu said:
Sounds good to me. :lol More tickets are always welcome, at least while they're still not available for purchase. For whatever reason.
Also just had the weirdest game in the current tournament. Opponent had nothing in his deck but one Bird of Prey. Needless to say, he surrendered. :lol
kassatsu said:
Grand Titan Jupiter, pretty nice card. Grass/Dark split, 180HP 15AGI, has an attack that does 50 dmg with 8 splash to the opponents standby monsters (and 10 self), it's ability nullifies all splash damage while it's summoned, and it has a reversal that inflicts instant death on all monsters that cost 3 mana or less.

...damn, now I kinda regret going for the tickets over the card. :lol
Also I think I hate Fallen Angel Benetnash. That damn preemptive attack it's got is just stupid powerful. I've lost literally every online game that I've played where the opponent has one of those in their deck.

Does anybody have a card / spoiler list for each of the sets? I for the life of me can't actually find one of these things anywhere on the internet.

I don't think there is one. It might be up to us to make our own.

That sucks. Got to Stage 9 and have been getting my ass kicked. Difficulty definitely spikes up and I'm not even at the hard part yet
What set is Gargoyle in?

Wow that'd be great. I could use all the tips I could get.
My main deck right now is some AGI boosters and the legendary Demon King Zekio. Not very creative but gets the job right now a lot of the time as I'm only on Stage 9.

kassatsu said:
Awesome! I'll contribute in any way I can (card descriptions, etc). Just let me know if I can help.
As for combos, one of my favorites is Gargoyle in front, Witch Twins Poa & Pua (I think that's the name) in the back. Use Gargoyle's Evil Eye to hopefully instakill the opponent's summoned creature, then use Curse of Death to instakill a standby. Once Gargoyle's gone, the Witch Twins flip effect kicks in and does 20 damage.

Sorry for the double post, but it looks like the multiplayer tickets still aren't up on the store. Or at least, I can't find them via search. I wonder what the hell is up...it's gonna be awful if they can't get the tickets up for some reason.

Would be so utterly cruel. 99 cents for a Platinum you can and probably will get locked out from getting.
I'd imagine the slow response has probably got something to do with Hudson being dead and all.

Never mind, looks like I jumped the gun! Tickets are up, however you can only access them from the store interface within the game. Prices are as follows:
4 tickets = 99 cents
21 tickets = 4.99
45 tickets = 9.99
100 tickets = 19.99
4 tickets = 99 cents
21 tickets = 4.99
45 tickets = 9.99
100 tickets = 19.99

Guess I'll just pay for 4 but I suck so bad at this game I am going to need at least 100 tickets to Platinum
Finally made it to Stage 10. Thieves stage was utterly destroying me.

Man this is hilarious. My only win today has been against a Rank 60 Japanese player. The rest of the games I've played, I've lost to Rank 1-10 American players who either play Dark decks based around Benetnash or just load their decks up with Knights of varying colors and splash damage me to death. The fuck.
