Tip when playing with Plus (can be handy for general play too when you're outmatched card-wise):

Drop a card in the center of the board in your first turn, the AI doesn't seem to coordinate Same/Plus very well but simply having a card there gives you many more opportunities from the start.

For non-plus games it can still be handy when you're using a weaker deck VS a stronger one because depending on how the NPC behaves you can strategically choose when to win that card back (because it's in the center you'll have ample opportunity).

The AI plays very defensively and will often not even flip the center card immediately because it likes to stick to the corners, so if anything you can get them to start dropping their cards without flipping any of yours.

Beyond that, it's just a good way to alter your strategy and get you thinking in different ways, can give you a better idea of how the NPC behaviors work.

Having issues now with previous weak NPC opponents because my the 3*s I have all have the same numbers which makes it easy for NPCs to plus me.

for plus, it doesnt matter if you use high cards

you MUST have 1-2 cards with even sides like beastman to turn the table around in the end, or for tactical purpose

you cant ride on the same deck for every rule and expect to win O_O

that makes tournament pretty good even for peeps with 30+ cards because plus is the only rule anyone can turn the tide around with good planning

I give up getting my last NPC card, swift is already annoying to do, the fact he runs on a timer just makes it more annoying.

Certain NPCs are now Roulette atm if people want to grind out some roulette wins from NPCs. I don't remember which data centers have roulette atm, but primal is one.

Know by chance what NPCs? I thought it was by region so thats a lot of zones to search =x

[Yukari]

Well, on Hyperion, I've heard it was the Limsa NPCs.

[Tobi]

The only ones I know of are Rhi and Baedron in Limsa.

[Yukari]

It's just Baderon I think then, since Rhi doens't follow regional rules.

[Tea L'euphorie]

I'm assuming down the road when they add more cards the next break point at 90 will unlock 4*s?

Possibly. I am excited to see what classic FF cards they add next :D Freya card pls Yoshi!

[BerenTebogo]

Baderon roulette on Cactuar as well

Edit: fml thought the card was from 30 roulette wins not 300. You're not worth it, Vaan.

So on Ragnarok the player who was 1st in the tournament standings yesterday with 1652 points is now in 5th place. 1st place has 1852 points. As the week goes on the board will become more and more populated with people that have win/loss ratios closer to 15:0. I wonder how high the points can go. I'm waiting to do my matches until I know what to aim for later this week.

[Jem]

Man, I don't think I can place on Ragna now. I bungled 1 match with a draw yesterday for 74 points so decided to wait on getting a 3* deck to play the rest of my matches.

I do know the the guy in 12th in is my FC though (cos he was 5th yesterday)

[Seravi Edalborez]

Hyperion is still backwater I guess, leaderboard is barely breaking 1600.

[BerenTebogo]

Are people actual playing other people or just NPC?

[Jem]

Other people, you're not making the leaderboard if you play NPC's (at least not on Ragnarok). Even 15 King wins wouldn't be enough for Lightning now.

anyone have a good deck for hab? was using momodi, miounne, baderon, biggs&wedge and a&a twins, but not that great of a win rate.

[Sephiroth]

Is there a list anywhere of which 3-5 star cards are the easiest to obtain, as in the least shit drop rates? It's clear by now that they aren't all the same and I just want to hit 60. I don't care about getting Gaius for example.

The cards I lack from NPCs are:

Raubahn Aldynn
Alphinaud & Alisaie
Ifrit
Hildibrand & Nashu Mhakaracca
Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn
Garuda
Cid Garlond (can't challenge)
Bahamut
Odin
Minfilia
Gaius van Baelsar
Louisoix Leveilleur

And the same for trial/dungeon exclusives? I only have Tonberry from that list.

I am 15 away from 60 though.

Mine looked pretty similar to that but I used either Squall or WoL instead of A&A, not really a magic deck for Hab, just need to play smart and know what cards he's still holding and anticipate him.

Splitting the board down the middle can help as it can keep him from making full use of Hildibrand (always in his deck).

Most NPCs tend to reserve their "trump card" until it can be used for maximum effect, don't give them the opportunity.

Hab is a tricky bastard because there's no rules to take advantage of and he's got a strong deck, you just have to figure him out.

[Vagrant]

Just Baderon on Balmung as well for roulette. Checked Rishi when he was active and he was not using it.

[Luthia]

Went 1/1 for His Hildy card, and then Got Thancred a couple of matches later. Was using 6662 deck and he was fairly easy to beat

EDIT: been farming the shitty Imperial for Gaius (going on 3 days now), and someone just casually posted this: http://prntscr.com/6csdbf
