Once again, a late minute blowout. I am trying to full force x3 in the last couple minutes but it seems like our opponents are doing the same thing, only better than I am. I think if Cilli can throw up Phalanx right there in the last 6 minutes that would be helpful in addition to braveheart. Have you been able to use the vice leader skill yet, maguano?

ninjurai

Also, if everyone is spending the crap out of their HP in this war, won't the prices of everything drop drastically?

Maguano

Braveheart? yeah popped it last fight, but i think about 2 minutes too early.

Maguano

i also don't think phalanx is working as intended, as it seems like i can attack anyone even though the "phalanx is active...attack def leader" message is up.

Bluecyan

Hmm, not certain how I should be using my cheers. 10 atk doesn't seem like a whole lot but 10 def could be the difference between somebody's defense being broken so I've been targeting people low on def.

Dracil

Honestly if they're gonna spend a ton of HP, let them. We'll do our catching up in the next few days when people have wasted all their HP.

Cilliawn

Take support leader off of my alt. I didn't realize SP resets every war and how the much the boost would be useless on him.

I'll try to use Phalanx in the last 5 mins of the wars when I can. I hear its not working, but we'll see.

Dracil

Alright, 1 leader position up for whoever wants it. Also state *what* you want.

Also, depending on how this goes, I think I'm gonna go on a spending spree after the HWs if people are really wasting all their HP on FFx3 attacks.

Maguano

these HW kinda suck. charge x2 when up, wait till 5 minutes left pop braveheart

JAEF

Attack at full for the most honor->wait->rinse->repeat to level your skill. Then once we lose a few we can knock out easy orders.

Cilliawn

Phalanx takes 300 SP to cast. Takes both charges, some attacks, and a yell or two from my alt to get 300.

JAEF

So I just pulled Raphaella (God SS Rare) from silver coin card packs. Better than any reward we're likely to get, hahaha. Looks like it's only worth about 90 HP though, sad day.

Dracil

Ok I had like 977 or 980 charge this morning and I *still* couldn't use Shingeki. Does that thing use 1000SP or something?

Maguano

@dracil yeah it takes 1000. the only way (if you don't want to burn the 3 HP attacks to bump it up) is to use charge 3x before the war is over... real fun

Dracil

Yeah, that's impossible though. Cooldown is 20 minutes.

Looks like it'll ever be used if we actually get into a war we really want to win. Which isn't gonna happen if they only give good prizes to the very top.

Maguano

you can do it right at the beginning 1 minute in, for example) then 21 minutes in, then 41, rinse repeat erry war.

Dracil

Oh, good point. But yeah, I'm not going to be able to do that till the weekend at best, if ever.

Cilliawn

You can have 2 people yell at you. Each yell gives you 10 SP

What is the bar that fills up right below where it shows the points for both orders in a war. Its always some number out of 1000. Right above the reload button. Anyone?

Dracil

Shingeki's up. At the moment, that bar appears to be the shingeki timer bar.

Dracil

I think we went from 5000-6000 to 16000-5000.

Maguano

yeah, i was bored, and had a few cocktails, and had some php to burn.

ninjurai

Shingeki is pretty rad. Got me all hot n sweaty too. The order rank improved almost 500 positions after that romp.

A few reflections on how to do well; I know a lot of it is obvious but its still worth discussing:
1. Try to charge every chance u get (free attacks!) But if u have max attack power attack twice then charge. charge restores 150 ATK.
2. SUSTAIN THE CHAIN! Try and find someone with a paltry defense deck and keep whacking them with a minimum sure-to-win deck before 5 minutes are up so as not to lose a good chain. Waiting to go ape until the last 15 minutes should help with this.
3. Moar Shingeki Pls! If Dracil drops the Shin-bomb be ready to blow a full force, thats how our order can get in the top 2k.

Cilliawn

Phalanx does work. I like to think it surprises some opponents who thought they would wait until the end.

Dracil

I think the best thing about this new change is that if I'm semi-active at all, I can basically keep myself topped up with Charge.

Also, if you see the bar as being close to 550, try yelling at me to get me up to 550, 'cause then my next charge will put us at 1000, which allows me to Shingeki. I believe attacks also add a small amount to that bar.

Cilliawn

Also, if you see that I'm active in the current war, and have an extra yell to give, toss one to me. It makes it a bit easier to have phalanx ready for the last 6 minutes. Especially if I screw up the timing of my alt's charges.

JAEF

So Veeaych, Ferrodin, Riusaldregan (your alt dracil?) and jakarrd all have 0 HWP so far. I'm assuming you've been using your alt to yell at yourself for support or whatever but do we have the other 3 accounted for in terms of (in)activity?

Also of note: If you don't have a wallbreaker deck already, use the end of this war as an opportunity to pick up a set on the cheap. We get double HW points once walls are down and with all the free attack from the boosts it should be easy to take it down if we all chip in.

ninjurai

is a wallbreaker deck one with 5 cards w/ boost to damage against walls or just a heavy hitting deck with a big boost in position 1? I could probably build an Ares if it would be helpful. I guess we all need to nuke the wall till its down and then fight the opposing order members? If that's the strategy for any given war, please post it here and Ill try to help.

JAEF

Well I don't have wall breaker cards right now (and neither does Cill) but after some reading it looks like the most effective decks for that are 3 high-skill wallbusters and 2 wing cards with big ATK damage. I'll be looking to pick some up on the bazaar cheaply after the war to prep for the next one if we're looking to crush some skulls (and the rewards don't suck.)

Cilliawn

I have a partially built Ares. I'll look into making a few after the war.

I was also considering building a Raphaella because they are "relatively cheap" because of the mystery box. 21.4k massive def (all) legend FF. Someone talk me out of it if they think its not worth ~340hp and the aggravation of skilling up.

ninjurai

This is a neck-n-neck war. If we let the chain die, so do we.
wwwEseLoco on page 5 of the opponents menu has only a base mad hatter for defense. ping him if you see the chain getting low.

Cilli, since u are a def monster raph sounds good but I think uriel is a better buy investment-wise. Ill look to pick up some more ares at the end of the war.
anyone else experiencing tons of game-crashes since the start of this HW? Lots of crashes during the last event too. Its annoying to try and do well in a game when it repeatedly stops running >_<

Cilliawn

Uriel is twice as much tho =(.

Phalanx will activate in the last 6 mins........annnnd that's how its done.

ninjurai

that was a fun war. ur right, you can actualy finish raph, but holding one ss is not as fun.

Dracil

Well, I think we'll get our 30 wins again.

Cilliawn

Way to jinx it.

My client's been the same as normal and way better than the past set of holy wars due likely to the full-force attack option. Much less refresh spam necessary. Everything is stepped up a notch.

Sonelan

We really need to get some walls back up if we want to win anything.

Sonelan

Well I managed to pull out the win by burning HP but if we want to do anything later we are gonna need some walls.

ninjurai

yea way to blast them Sone. I was gonna do it but you smoked em first.

Dracil

What do you mean? We still have 31 walls left. If our wall gets destroyed during a war, then we just don't have a wall till the next war.

Yeah sorry it kept showing no walls so I thought we had no at all left :P
