The basics of deck building are the following. Number 1: Synergy. Number 2: 6-8 ranged champs and the rest melee with at least 2-4 support champs. Number 3: An average nora cost around 60 is generally the best. Number 4: An Average Speed of 6+ is best Number 5: Have at least 2-4 expensive power houses ranged or melee 75+ nora Number 6: Try to have runes that fulfil multiples roles efficiently an ideal example of this is Ancient Slag, its a support tank. Number 7: Try to stick to your faction/s strengths Number 8: Have a well balanced support equipment, spell and relic support set, with something that can get you out of all situations Number 9: try to cover at least 3 of relic counter, detection, shatter, perseverance etc... Number 10: Include at least 4 damaging Spells. My SP decks normally get copied by everyone and this is my guideline for building each of my decks. Here is an example of SP budget Champs: Poxbox value Shards x2 Ancient Slags 380k t 1000 shards x2 Armoured Fesh 16 s x2 Arroyo Smokeforms 84k t 160 x1 Klub the Devourer 185k t 500 x2 Stormreaders 40k t 160 x1 Kanen Slipped 40k t 80 x2 Moga Cannons 32 s x2 Storm Bunnies 36k t x2 Voil Stormflyers 26k t 160 x2 Voltaic Slags 40k t 160 Spells: x1 Alacrity 41k t 80 x1 Boulder Throw 16 s x1 Lightning Storm 16 s x1 Nora Storm 4 s x1 Nublins Surprise Pies 8 s x1 Peak Tactics 4 s x1 Rip 25k t 80 x1 Vertical Push 16 s Relics x1 Thunderhead Totem 8 s x1 Tribal Post 66k t Equipment: x1 Paper Wings 3.4kt T means trade for S means shard. If you cant afford the Ancient Slags consider getting Voil Stormspears. For 120 shards + around 880k PB credits you can get yourself a Tier 1 FF deck. With 1.5k shards the deck costs 320k pb credits... 1 box + exo league and you will be able to afford this deck! First expensive runes to add. Number 1: G'hern Soothsayer (detect + premonition is game winning!) Number 2: Feshcaller Mika Number 3: Whirling Quarries
I disagree with this. Here's my small meta tip for beginners: If there's a spell that does the same as an equip or relic, use it instead, provided it gives a comparable value. Low cost units are usually more valuable than high cost units. Buffing a single unit is a bad strategy to rely on Try to run at least 1 hero if you are playing ff. Unless you already have a bunch of bs.
I ran 50% champs in the deck for a long time but just recently have had success with around 75% champs. Not sure why but it seems to work.probably lots of early little guys.
Note I only recommended 2-4 75+ nora champs with the rest being cheap! That goes for any deck any faction...
So can SP because of the refund. In fact to take advantage of the SP bonus I find going for loads of cheap champs or expensive ones a good tactic.
