Gon while you're in the mood, I wanted to ask something.
Ideally while using mermaid file, how many Metia is needed?
Will 3 Metia enough or actually 2 is more than enough?
Also if I only have 1 Faytis, should I include her or putting Wrath is better generally?

And do you have any replay/idea to show how Mermaid able to resist against big files?
Especially Yellow big files that often use Mid level unit with annoying counter like Guardian or Veteran Folrart Paladin to hold the field?
I cannot figure out how to do that other than using certain SS like Metia/Bastandora/Assasin/RFA.
Thanks...

Btw warrior file sounds interesting.
Though I think I am gonna need Amazon to make that file.

You can use aquamancer/the engage mermaid to deal with bigs.
I saw a mermaid file defeat gon's big blue that way.

One faytis should be fine.
As for metia its been a while since i played mermaids but i would say this is dependant on wether or not you run emana, if you use emana then ideally your opponent will have burnt some grims on her and metia might be a little safer otherwise metia is gonna get a facefull of fire arrow every turn. Either way i found 3 is best but you might be able to get away with 2 if you can draw out their grims before you play her.

Well I did thinking of using her but Aquamancer ability is random.
Faytis, Mermaid Spear Fighter [Human], and Metia also lv 4, so I kinda wary to use her.
Engage ability is pretty good, though I am afraid it can't help me much against Star dragon or big unit with counter ability.

Ah thanks.
Yeah, I don't have any good grim and SS bait right now.
I guess 3 Metia is the best at the moment.

Dang, I've been delayed fixing the pixie page due to an unfortunate computer crash.

And yeah also keep in mind these are mainly just general starting points. Like if you have a limited card supply, instead of thinking, "Darnit I only have 2 Metia and no Spear Fighters I can't play merms" you could just use those file slots for other things and make it some form of mermaid modded starter like I put for the replay. And like for Pixies... I think in the guide I made I only put in 1 archer and 1 mage pixy... But really you could go with 2-3 of each of those too if you want. If just all depends on your SS and rest of file. There are many successful variants of every tribe so don't be afraid to experiment.

edit: pixies fixed

Thanks a lot for this thread and for fixing the Pixie File pic, I am already using it as the basis for my first File.
Danke!
