I’m relatively new to the game and just finally got to the “grind” part of the game, what’s the best use of gold to progress in CL and such? Missions? Or buy credits directly? I did buy the battle pass thingy

# To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap.

It’s pretty simple but there are so many synergies going on. Best advice I do is stack forge and lizard on a location I feel is a little more useless to make a juicier T6 with Odin hitting Ironheart/GotG gang/spider woman, or even firing off Elektra a second time. Good guesses with the GotG also help burst ahead.

If anyone has suggestions for how to improve it or cards that will fit in well in the future shout it out

Does anyone have a discard deck for around CL400? I’m tryna make things work but it feels like it’s too unfocused.

Bad news: it will feel that way until you get several specific pool 3 cards. And right now there seem to be two different discard types that each want different pool 3 cards. And it will make discard feel better but it'll still be coinflippy.

What’re those pool 3 cards? Death, Hela, Knull, etc?

So I’m at CL497, I know I get my last Pool 2 card at the next level but I’m curious what other parts of the game change? I know you have a 1-in-whatever chance of getting Pool 3 cards from the caches and you start getting the tokens (is that per level? Per game? Also only from the caches?) but is that it?

is the sera/angela bundle so much worse because you can buy it directly with $, as opposed to the sunspot bundle, which you either had to buy two $40 gold purchases or one $100 gold purchase?

But I also bought Patriot from the token store and am having a blast trying out the best way to make him work. I don’t have Brood or Debrii yet, but I’m making it kinda work. Any tips?

Oh right.

I still get mixed up on the "1-cost card" vs "card that costs 1" terminology. I don't know what they could do to fix that, it just seems like really sloppy mechanics/terminology...like, it is ever explained anywhere is some official Snap document in-game that those mean different things, or is it just a "gotta play a bunch to figure that out"?

yeah this is a weird one, it seems very inconsistent on this terminology in particular

flatluigi posted:

by the time you get enough collector's tokens to start buying things you'll have a lot better of a grasp of what cards you'd need

I got 3000 when I hit...500? or something like that? which is enough for 3x Series 3 cards, which, imo, is where you should be focusing at first. I bought Doctor Doom, Patriot, and now Leader, all pretty reasonably good cards, so I'm content with that. Would have also taken Mystique, Sera, and maybe Wong.

I'm also currently stopped at CL590 though, so, I might have slightly different goals atm.

Tender Bender posted:

I have a lot of issues with Snap's verbiage, but the Cost thing I think is fairly consistent.

Cards cost what they cost. If they're discounted in your hand, they cost the displayed number. When you play them, their energy cost reverts to their regular, non discounted cost. They are then a "X-cost" card, whatever number X equals. A card does not keep it's discounted status on the board and the game communicates that to you.

So if Sera discounts Bucky Barnes to 1, he is a 1 cost card. You can't play him on a zone that prohibits that. Once you play him, he's no longer discounted. The game shows he costs 2, and he cannot be killed by Killmonger.

Honestly guy you just explained this better than Snap ever could or would.

It's really consistent, I think people are just stuck on the terminology. If card costs were referred to as "base cost" and "current cost" or something, I don't think anyone would have any issue with it.

Now if only they could make “destroyed” work consistently between Wolverine, Knull, and Yondu.

Speaking of dropping money, I can't believe I'm seeing so many of those anime waifu avatars.

I mean, granted, I say this as both someone who does not care about anime anything, and ALSO does not really care about card variants, so I'm hardly one to judge. But still...$50?!

People with more money than sense paying $50 for Sera adds up, to me.

I just wish *I* had more money than sense.

Just fyi for anyone else considering doing this: do it. Stop at 590. After that the game doesn’t give a gently caress. I’m immediately going up against folks with all variant decks that are maxed out, cards I don’t even have a prayer of getting for months (Darkhawk). Just loving stupid. Why don’t they have this on a sliding scale. It’s very frustrating.

Sandwolf

I just don’t know why they couldn’t do both? Have it set so you only play folks with +/- 100 CL from you until you finish Pool 3 or something and THEN take the training wheels off. I don’t understand the logic of “well you have practically four Pool 3 cards, might as well get in there with the best of them.”

But yeah my competitive ranking is definitely making it worse.

Yup, you may need to change your mindset from wanting to win to wanting to learn. You’ll face a lot of decks and can take note of which you thought were the coolest. From there, you can head toward building that.

lmao as someone who was bitching in this thread a lot about the 590 thing it’s basically the above. I’d recommend at least tryna get up to 70 for a reasonable goal & good chunk of credits. But after 590 the game definitely feels like you’ve just left the “tutorial” and now you’re playing with the big boys.

Give me one credit and one token for every win. If people want to grind out 6000x wins for a S5 card I’m fine with it, and it allows me to feel like my random average games are accomplishing something other than 26 BP XP.

The patch notes were real and wow those buffs/nerfs are awful. It’s like they didn’t even consider the possibility of having to balance cards that don’t care about power or energy adjustments.

It’s starting to feel like Second Dinner is way too small to handle a game on this scale.

I feel like they designed themselves into a bit of a corner with how dependent the game is on Cosmo to keep uh… pretty much everything in check.

2 energy 2 power “This card flips and counters the next On Reveal played here” or something could bring some variety to the “stopping on reveal” idea
