Help With Liu and Thumb Builds

[LordoftheDice1]

Long Story Short: I just got into Star Of The City and just beat both levels of Thumb and Liu Association. I have all the Pages and bunch of their cards...but I suck at building decks. I tried my best but my decks got their asses kicked by the Index Prostletyes in Urban Nightmare (My "Testing" Fight).

Are there any Builds that work with them? Do I need entire floors unlocked or can I use them with only three Librarians?

Might be that your foe to test on was a bit too, uh, incompatible with what you where testing. You can't typically expect to win a clash against them, and have to focus more on diverting their attacks into 0-cost light-gain cards or defensive cards, or very high-rolling cards.
I mean, they get +2 power (sometimes +3 or more depending on their Singleton card), so beating that won't be easy.

Deck-wise... If you got the Liu cards, then i'd say try a "Singleton" deck with various good cards and Singleton cards. With "Singleton" being having no duplicate cards in your deck, max 1 of every card, or Singleton effects won't activate.

You could probably soup up a pretty strong generic deck with something like...
x3 light-regen cards (ideally 0-cost cards, or Multi-Slash).
x3 2-cost cards (To Where the Prescript Leads, and Star of the City invitations should have other good ones).
x3 3-cost cards (Emotional Turbulence, the 3-cost prescript card that has a draw-3 effect, and maybe Deep Drag? That smoke debuff can hurt them pretty badly!)

Cards that have DEF>ATK>ATK are also pretty useful, since they can tank strong initial hits and high-rollers like the enemy's high 7-18 rolls. The 0-cost cards that regen light and start with block roll are also extremely helpful for these.

Besides that... I wouldn't know of any good Liu or Thumb builds, i kinda just go for a more generic Singleton-friendly deck nowadays. And of course, if you're doing a Star of the City or other tough invitation, it's HIGHLY recommended to use your best floor(s), ideally complete floors with E.G.O cards and everything.

Though, if you want some REALLY good cards... You could try out the leftmost path further. It's tough, but atleast the books from the regular enemies will get you what you want even if you lose. Same thing for the rightmost path, good cards there too, in the deeper layers.

Noted. Thanks. I also found a website with a bunch of community made decks. https://aeonmoon.herokuapp.com/About

My preferred Thumb setup is Katriel's page w/ Denis's passive, Mika's passive, and either Fervor or Wedge

x2 Gigig for light regen
x2 Reload for card draw and ammo
x2 Bayonet combat for blocking and ammo
x3 Focus Fire to dump all the ammo into a target at once

three nuggets with this setup just need one good turn to build up emotion and ammo and then they can spend the rest of the fight cycling through ammo and spamming focus fire to bully enemies out of their stagger bars
