Best SR Decks December Update

Today I went through past posts and updated the Best SR Man, SR God, and SR Demon Posts.

The changes I made are as follows:

Man Realm:

Achilles listed as the best offensive SR for Man.

Lancelot remains the champion of defensive SR.

God Realm:

Three Haniel and Two Thor make up best offensive deck and I also mention the viability of Sephirot as a contender to Haniel. Given the way buffs/debuffs work he is very close to Haniel.

Defensive Deck was swapped over to Sleipnir x5. I also mentioned here that he is only a mild increase over Apsara and not necessarily a card to jump all over since Lancelot is still better.

Demon Realm:

Added a comment on the defensive deck I have listed. Reasonably people should remain 1 Wraith, 4BM instead of moving into SR defense cards for Demon at the moment. If they want to improve their deck past that I would recommend 1 Wraith, 2BM, 2 Death.

Tomorrow I will be updating all the Rare/HR Decks to reflect new cards.

Thanks for reading.

  1. So, right now, my deck consists of 3 Claymore skill 10, 1 Master Alchemist & 1 Yukimura. Should I move to Achilles? Or wait for a great boost to Man appear?

    1. The harm with swapping to Achilles is the skill level will be such a pain. Is Achilles better? Yes. A pretty significant one? Actually yeah. But the question is, are you willing to spend 100s of HP to skill him to 10 on top of purchasing him. Honestly, I would only start improving on a clay/m.alch deck after I had five lancelots on defense. That's my take.

  2. so right now, my atk deck hits for 100k+ (usually 113-132k) and i'm running a def deck that's 3 paladin 2 captain (all 4-6 evos).

    with the holy war coming up, should i focus on improving my atk or def deck? i've got just enough hp that i can start looking at buying SR cards.

    1. If you have 'just enough' hp, you need to be saving it for Holy Wars.

      I would recommend you aim for the Claymore+M. Alchemist offense first. The defense isn't weak enough that you are super easy to farm.

      If you opt to go defense start gathering lancelots. There is no denying their power.

    2. thanks!

      i'm working on my 4th claymaid right now, should i run a 4 claymaid+m. alchemist deck or would a 3 claymaid+2 m. alchemist be a better bet?

  3. I know Lancelot is still better than sleipnir, but considering my faction is gods, should I stay with a gods defensive deck (apsaras changing gradually to sleipnir) or try a man defensive deck with lancelots?

    1. I would recommend moving from Apsara gradually to Andromeda. Sleipner's base stats need to be higher.

  4. Hy,

    I havent seen an update from you on demons att, do you still consider 5 sut to be best?

    I have 2 sk10 nm, 1 sut (freash) and 2 aps. I have started my second sut, but prizes have quickly increased on them (was 110 when started now around 150-160) Heck and jorms are still very expensive in my opinion.. Do you see any alternatives?

    Regarding Def deck.. why did you remove temp vamp? as soon as 5 th form gets added isnt it going to be better then death with 219xx def? prices for them are really low at moment, thats why i ma thinking on buying some now.
    I have def of 1 wr sk 10, 1 chim i want to swap out, 1 temp vamp and 2 death (one 5 card and one is 4 card), currently I dont see the bm's as such a win.... I know skill would be good for boost, but with 5th evo there would be a greater deal in def in my opinion... with only 1 wr...

    1. I consider 3 Hecate with 2 Sutk to be the best. I never actually altered my defense deck and still show Temps and Deaths, but realistically it's not a great option so I just wanted players know that they pushing into them was silly.

      Fifth evo's I think are still a long way out and honestly I hate the idea of them. The only purpose of five card evo's is to get players to spend way more than they should have to.

  5. Hi, so I was reading your comments and I saw that you said a 3 Paladin 2 Captain defense was strong enough that it shouldn't be super easy to farm. Is that only up to a certain level? I'm running the same defense deck and my defense has failed every single time I was attacked today, not for a lack of def pwr either.

    1. Unfortunately paladin is a bit low on stats and bad luck on wing procs could cause issues.

      Are your paladins skill 10? It makes a HUGE difference.

  6. for man realm:
    imo, achilles' are great wing cards especially if theyve low skill.
    my 3 cm s10 2 ach s4 can almost go thru anything, but i do experience problems with queen vamps :|

    i know you hate longinus, but again imo theyre great for wing cards. heres my current 87k base setup:
    2 pal s10 1 long s4 2 6-10 capt (aiming to replace capt with a long for a 90k base def)

    3 lance 2 long would be a very good and practical sr deck

    out of topic:
    any price predictions for lord arthur?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think arthur is going to be man's top def card. I predict (into the blue), that he will be around 350 to 400 HP.
    Skill perhaps: Massive boost to man def.

    But thats only into the blue .. lets see

    1. I believe he is still supposed to be an offense card with a Massive boost to man attack. If he is, he'll go for more than 350-400.

      Delete
  8. yeah, i guess it should be either:

    24k or less than batraz' attack
    massive atk to man

    OR

    same as batraz' atk
    massive atk to all
    man realm enkidu lol

    any idea on how lord arthur will be rewarded?
    top 10/20/40?

  9. I don't understand why sephirot is so close to haniel. General debuff are general not that good.

    1. He's the only God Card that is close to Haniel. At the time I wrote the article I was operating under bad math thought putting him closer than he should be.

  10. Hi,

    I am currently running 3 ifrits 8-14 and 2 maya for an atk deck, my def deck consists of 5 8-14 apsaras. I am comfortable with my def deck although my atk can use some work, my question is should I be trying to build the trow elf with the 4 sword valks or go right into your sr god realm atk deck? Also I have purchased several thor's and am preparing them as wings to use with my 3 ifrits for the time being. I do have plenty of hp to spare for hw so I am not to concerned about that. On you sr deck recommendation for god realm what type of evo do you think would be best a 4-6 a 6-10 or just go all out for a 8-14?

    1. With your deck as it stands I think you should push SR starting with wings. Personally I do 4max evo's because they are easier to resell down the road.

      Delete
    2. Ran a few calculators and the difference is significant enough to warrant a higher evo. Also if everyone is doing 4 max like they are it does give you a slight advantage, although I completely agree on the fact that a 4 max is easier to sell. I was curious on your thoughts and by the way love the sight it is extremely helpful.

  11. So for gods you say 5x sleipnir, now that you posted about how the new skills work is that still the best option? Same goes for having 3 haniel in the attack deck
