Title: Optimizing initial starter
Post by: serprex on July 15, 2023, 06:56:52 pm
If you haven't chosen yet, consider Chapuz's tutorial (https://elementscommunity.org/forum/tutorials/(tutorial)-from-rags-to-riches-2-0-(how-to-get-rich-quick)) where you start with Darkness to sell most your cards to buy grabbow & rush to grinding ai4
Legacy implements the original's starter decks, which are quite plainly not good. The first thing you'll want to do when starting is prune your deck down to 30 cards in order to increase the damage density. Below spoilers list the starters along with how you should reduce them to 30 cards. openEtG's Legacy mode differs from original by making pillar/pends free, so the starter decks quanta base can also be optimized with pends
Some elements are better off starting against AI2 instead of going straight for AI3. You may prefer to start on AI2 anyways, as even when these decks are marked to face AI3 that's in part due to AI3's much higher rate of card drops, particularly rares which can then be sold
Also given are decks which can go against AI3 reliably with a few purchases from bazaar, & something to build towards to go vs ai4. See Light for a dragontal build; any element can build an ai4 dragontal using that template
