This will be a shorter post with less explanation than most of my
others. I'm assuming if you're reading this post that you have red most
of my 'Best R/HR/SR Deck' posts.
This post takes into account current Bazaar pricing on cards and the
power level you get for the deck. The decks I'm using are somewhat
gimmicky but I'll explain how I selected these decks. These are assuming
4max evolutions.
Best 'Cheap' HR Deck: Demon-Attack
1st Card: Minotaur - 15.1k attack - Big Hit to Defense (all)
2nd Card: Minotaur - 15.1k attack - Big Hit to Defense (all)
3rd Card: Ark Dragon - 16.9k attack - Big Hit to Gods Defense
4th Card: Ark Dragon - 16.9k attack - Big Hit to Gods Defense
5th Card: Ark Dragon - 16.9k attack - Big Hit to Gods Defense
I can honestly say there is no such thing as a 'cheap' demon deck. For example, Ark Dragon is a sub par Berserker, but costs 2x as much. If you're looking for cheap you rolled the wrong realm. For this deck I used two Minotaur for the two top spots for the debuff. After some math it wasn't worth it to pack in a third Minotaur. All cards are approximately 10-13HP each. The reason I don't recommend 5 Arks and attacking only god realm is because Ark has a lower base than Apsara meaning you'll probably lose more than you win.
Final rough attack of somewhere around 81k with 16% debuffs which is a bit disappointing.
Approximate Cost: 200-260HP depending on prices.
Best 'Cheap' HR Deck: Demon-Defense
1st Card: Wraith - 14.5k defense - Big Boost to Demon Defense
2nd Card: Chimaera - 16.9k defense - Big Hit to Foes Demon Attack
3rd Card: Chimaera - 16.9k defense - Big Hit to Foes Demon Attack
4th Card: Chimaera - 16.9k defense - Big Hit to Foes Demon Attack
5th Card: Chimaera - 16.9k defense - Big Hit to Foes Demon Attack
This deck revolves around the fact that demons are the most regular attackers while maintaining a high base and a sure proc on your wraith. This deck hits 92k defense as well as powerful demon debuffs when you are attacked by demon realm.
Approximate Cost: 200-230HP depending on prices
FINAL ALTERNATIVE DECK-What I would probably do if I wanted to push offense and defense. (what I would really do is pump pure offense and use rares on my defense).
3rd Card: Scylla - 15k/16.3k - Big Hit to Foes Man Atk/Def
4th Card: Scylla - 15k/16.3k - Big Hit to Foes Man Atk/Def
5th Card: Witch Commander - 16.5k/14.8k - Big Boost to Holy War Points
Attack Deck 1st/2nd Card: Minotaur - 15.1k attack - Big Hit to Defense (all)
Defense Deck 1st/2nd Card: Chimaera - 16.9k Defense - Big Hit to Foes Demon Defense
Offense hits around 76k with a full enemy debuff and with some man debuffing. Defense covers for 81k and some demon/man debuffing. The WC will boost points during holy war. Scylla, Chimaera, and Minotaur are pretty much as low in price as they'll ever be with high base stats so when you resell you won't lose much. The way I look at it since the cheap demon realm decks aren't going to break 100k it's better to go a solid attack/defense and have the extra 60-100HP left for Holy Wars.
Total Cost: 340ish HP
