Eredan's World

Hey,

I played a fair bit a while back but haven't had the time since about a year ago.

I've now decided to pop back in and was prepared for there to be a lot of new decks and strategies to contend with - I also know I may have to spend/grind a little to catch up.

However I wasn't really expecting to be struggling quite so much (my old decks - kotoba weapons at will, and pirate powder kegs, narwhals etc. weren't exactly top tier, but they held their own. Now they struggle at the 1500 rating).

My main observation is that mages seem to be everywhere and do even more damage than before and I keep running into legends even at low ratings.

Are non-magic decks still viable or will low spirit just result in you being blasted to death?

Are there any other major shifts that have occurred in the past year?

How much difference does the higher deck size make?

Is it worth me picking up a few cards like Kaiken and persevering with WAW or in the current meta and with the nerf (whenever that happened) is it better to trade the deck out for crystals? Likewise with pirate kegs - Azalys, Souchi, pocket shooters (pricey though they are) all look good, but if I go after them will I still just find myself being blasted by mages before I get set up all the time? The other deck I always wanted to try but never got the cards for was a Nomad Priest deck, but I imagine the price may be prohibitive now. The new Legion stuff also looks interesting.

Sorry for so many questions, and I know I'll have to make the decisions myself in the end - just wanted an idea of what I'm getting into before I potentially spend anything or start trying to pull things off the market (I still have a bit of trade fodder from before).

Hey,

I was looking at ways to make us of Clover + Powder Keg and have run into a few scenarios where I'm not sure if the keg triggers or not (don't have the cards to test yet).

I'm guessing it triggers on basic combat damage and the fire damage seems generally straightforward, but what about the following scenarios?

1) Narwhal + OOC - I'd assume yes, but given Narwhal's inaccurate description one has to wonder...

2) Weapon Throw (say a dagger) whilst equipped with a powder weapon. I'd assume yes since the damage still comes from the character equipped with powder weapon.

3) Weapon Throw when you throw the powder weapon. Perhaps chaining an Infernal Cricket, say. At the point of impact you are no longer equipped with the powder weapon so I'd guess no?

4) Infernal Cricket - direct damage still counts as coming from your character so it still procs, right?

5) Spell damage. According to the description lightning bolts should proc it if I'm holding a powder weapon at the time since it doesn't say the damage has to come from the weapon, just the character holding it, yes?

6) Adranis' extra attack (if she's holding a powder weapon). Again don't see why not...

7) Would Adranis double proc if she fire-balled whilst holding a powder weapon? (once for fire, once for powder). And then of course potentially another two from her actual attack and possible bonus attack, making for a possible 4 procs (5 with cricket too).

8) Global direct damage e.g. storm - does this count as from the character or separate?

9) Weapon Kata. From what I've observed when Jian Qiao does spread damage, the game engine seems to apply it to the active character first and then split it (unless that's a visual just for the benefit of the players), which leads me to believe weapon kata might not proc on OOC characters as the engine won't recognise that the damage comes from the powder-weapon wielding character. However since that actually is where the damage is coming from I'd think it ought to proc...

10) On a non-Powder Keg but similar note, if you use Adventurer to move narwhal or cricket to a new out of combat character, will they proc a 2nd time?

Thanks in advance for any answers. Hopefully this can help me decide which cards to get as I build my deck

Turn 4 Training Room, opponent selected Ahlem who did his random heal thing, but then it wouldn't let me play a card. (so the timer ran down and I auto-lost).

I'm not sure if this is a FAQ question or a bug, but here goes.

Deck Out only occurs at the END of the turn where you couldn't draw a 5th card at the BEGINNING of the turn, right?

Because just now I had 5 cards at the start of my turn and then played two of them. I didn't quite kill the last character, but knew I could on my next turn. Except it told my I decked out because I couldn't draw the two cards...

Am I misunderstanding the rules here or should that not have happened?

Hey,

I completed my 5th daily quest today and clicked on the free card, but the screen froze up. My only option to get out of the frozen screen was to click the x at which point the screen disappeared and I never got my card

Is there any way I can get my free card please? I was looking forward to it after 5 days lol...
