I think i have a solid build but, any advice you guys can give me would be really helpful .

[GonFreeces31]

Honestly that looks really solid. Only thing I'd say is ditch the Alraune for something else. You're playing rank-ups and if you don't play Alraune early she prolly won't be too effective. Also if you could get a Ball of Flame in there or another Fire Arrow that would be great.

why is it some file advice threads are forced into this forum, while others are in Annarose?

[Romdeau]

This one has no standard, whereas for annarose I have a standard-if it's a modded starter or doesn't have subjective "in-depth"discussion, then it gets moved. This thread was created here so I don't know why you felt compelled to bring that question up now.

[MissVal]

Could any of you guys give me any advice to strengthen my chances vs emana mystere? .I know it is not a good match up but, i just hate feeling like i have no have chance of beating it. So any advice you could give me would be really helpful.

[GonFreeces31]

Next time you play it, save the replay. In most cases, people repeatedly make small mistakes and act like they were not important, when in reality they were massive. If we can look at what you did and what happened, we might be able to figure out something you could do next time to improve your chances.

[MissVal]

I do not have a premium account.so i can not save battles.

good old days - still use gowen starter

I think 2 alarune is good - helps in the matchup against refuess - good counter to def and becomes super powerful in games where she is allowed to buff. May not even need t o revive. Otherwise only play it as an extra card - do not play her.

Consider adding a removal ss- like assasin.. etc- have 10 file slots - you can have multiple different versions of modded gowen starter if you have space.

8/9 lp is good. 9lp is better I think but you have to be prepared to let units die to activate soul skills - replay them. Easier as you lack characters so can replay on the same turn card gets sent to cemetery.

Depends on your play style too - saw orks with 6lp but really high streak. Saw pixies with 10/11 lp but transferred to bigs. But generally for lvl 3 rush 8/9lp is a good start. Good to experiment and see what works.

Miracle fruit to counter returns? 50/50 but maybe worth it?

[Anima13]

While Rasam seems nice for the first I would prefer any other kind of dmg ss instead. you need to think about you are gowen and the way you gain control over the game is your damage. While with rasam you can stopp some early threat, with damage SS you can force you enemy to spend sp on revives (and by this hindering the development of an sp advantage/ being less vulnerable to returns) which is the main reason why gowen files beat falkow into little pieces.
Maybe this helps you against emana too.

[GonFreeces31]

Yeah I kinda agree with Anima. Rasam is best when you need to slow the pace of the game down to get some specific unit combo out there... But if you are playing Gowen rush, you don't really have any combo and really just need more damage imo. Specifically, souls that do 40 damage to two units or 40 targeted damage and an effect like scylla are great souls for slot 2.
