What Is Your Favorite Deck?

[TheMovieReviewer]

In the game, you have Balanced, Counter-Attacker, Aggressive, and Trickster decks.

Which of the four do you usually use? Why do you prefer it?

Balanced... couse I been playin the demo for weeks :P
I like the starting cards, a few changes and you have a deck that moves enemies around as you want. But I really havent tested the other starting decks yet.

I've unlocked all of them but for now I stick with Balanced as I find the other to be too specific to one strategy

[x_equals_speed]

I find aggressive easiest to win with, trickster the most interesting and counter-attacker the most boring.

Balanced I only played a couple of times in the beginning. It's too broad for my taste, I prefer more focused decks.

All my best results are with Aggressive that I tailor for a bit with each new card (more control, more reach, better mobility).

I like Trickster but it's harder to tailor and play in general and I only reached the final mission with it once, I think).

My worst results are with Counter-Attacker. It's extremely slow IMO and I constantly miss rewards that are time-based.

So, I basically play only Aggressive and Trickster. And I still haven't beaten the game. But after 40 hours I still learn the game. For example, I just today found out that Taunt, in fact, is amazing because it can target anyone, not just an enemy near you or on the same line with you.

Strange i Love the Counter Deck. Getting hit once then punching the enemy in the face 3 times is funny.

Plus I have gotten the farthest on the Counter Deck.

It is possible that I don't know how to make it work :) Definitely will give it more tries after I beat the game at least once.

Trickster is my favorite so far, but I'm messing around with Counter to see if I can get it to work.

Trickster does amazing if you can pick up an extra Grapple and some get out of trouble cards like Slip, ones that moves through/past enemies, or stun effects (for the rifle guys). Toss in some kicks/pushes and you're a dangerous man with a ledge around you. Gravity is definitely the MVP of a Trickster run.

Counter really seems to need some specific enhancements to make it through the final stage, like the block increase and the damage reduction ones, so it would be a lot more viable if we were able to choose enhancements (or have a choice between 2, something like that) instead of receiving them randomly.

I got my first win with Counter. It's definitely slow in the beginning and you need a lot of extra cards to get it popping, but when you've gone through every level and every card you have is upgraded and synergized with eachother it's a beauty.

I hate trickster. I feel like half of the cards you start with are pure trash, but maybe I just don't know how to play it.

[Killial]

I haven't tried an aggressive deck yet. But I'm going to do it.

Of the rest - so far my favorite is Counter-Attacker, maybe because I like the style and feel myself unstoppable and tanky. As well as its mechanics and the starting hand, in my opinion, are very good for it's style and do not require many changes, but just polishing and improve what you already have.

Trickster is also kinda fun to play. But that's not really my thing.
And besides, as for my opinion, there are too many trashy and useless cards in the starting hand, in which there is almost no synergy. So it is very difficult to start for it. And you need to make a lot of changes before make it good. Most often I died on Trickster - it was exactly the early levels.
So I beat the game for it once, and that will be enough for me.

And... Balanced - is... balanced?
That's all I can say. And I don't really know how I feel about it.

Trickster is my favorite, but I suck at it. I do best with aggressive.

[Necroscourge]

Aggressive is the one that lets you actually do damage and build combos. The other decks are weak and time intensive

[deciBelle]

I've actually won my first run with an aggressive deck while desperately trying to make a counter deck work. I think in the end stages you just can't risk taking hits, which completely negates a counter deck.

You would have to either allow for better block/counter scaling, or rework how countering works by replacing the block value with a "negate x incoming attacks" instead of going by damage. I think it would suit the pacing of the game better and let you actually tank in the last stages of the game instead of having to swing around and suddenly become a repositioning/attacking deck.

[Connie]

Interesting to hear your preferred decks! I've pinned the discussion for easier access for folk!

(my favourite deck is between Aggressive and the Counter Deck )

[fri_freeman]

Agressive is by far the best deck, it's still imbalanced that way at this point. but Trickster is the coolest for me.

[ChurchGorilla]

Balanced is arguably one of the best with an invaluable enhancement and most cards remaining relevant up to endgame, thus requiring very little deck thinning
Trickster has quite a few subpar cards but it has the potential for crazy draw power.
