来自一位零氪、未使用抄卡组甚至未合成卡牌便达到30级的新玩家的建议
1. 前言
我从4月15日游戏发布时开始游玩。期间零氪金、未使用抄卡组，甚至没有合成过卡牌！凭借多年的《炉石传说》经验（曾达到传说段位），最终还剩余约380点未使用资源，整个过程耗时约60小时。可以证明这完全是免费游玩体验。^
Rewards from Rank 30. General season rewards are:
Rank 5: 1 standard
Rank 10: 1 standard + 1 pack
Rank 15: 1 limited + 1 pack --> 1 special + 1 pack if OC
Rank 20: 1 special + 1 pack --> 1 elite + 1 pack if OC
Rank 25: 1 special + 2 packs --> 1 elite + 2 packs if OC
Rank 30: 1 elite + 3 card pack (implicit OC)+ 1 nation pack per Field Marshall (FM).
The card is not gold, and you get no elite if you are in Officer's Club (OC) but Rank 18 or 19.
You earn an extra star for win streaks of three or more, except in General rank. Wait until you reach a new rank to experiment because you can't fall below its safety net. Rarely (~5%), matchmaking can't find a human player and offers you an AI after exactly one minute. The AI is essentially a freebie, so have your cursor ready to accept before a human is found. Save your best nations (specials or elites in collection) for last because the competition gets hard Ranks 25-30.
2. Constructing a Deck
All five decks had 28 nation plus 12 ally cards, equally represented (i.e. 40 each x 5 = 200). A-tier cards, measured by inclusion of four or more total copies across the five decks upon reaching FM, were:
USA: M8 Greyhound, M16 Half-Track*, 30th Regiment, M4 Sherman, Death from Above*
Soviet: Bloody Sickle, Katyusha*, From the People, T-34-85
Japan: Imperial Order, Naval Operation, Osaka Regiment
German: Panzer 35(t), Panzer III-J*
Britain: Lancashire FusiliersAll these are standard except for four that are limited (*). A strong, low-budget deck is tempo with high-stat minions (units) and removal spells (orders). Tempo means your mana (kredit) curve starts middle with 1-2 cost cards, peaks high at 3-4, and tapers low at 5-6+. Units should make up about 2/3 and orders 1/3, or eleven to fifteen cards. Other archetypes exist like aggro, control, ramp but are more complex to play. Based on the above, the easiest deck for a beginner would be USA-Soviet. Start with:
3 x M8 Greyhound
2 x M16 Half-Track*
3 x 30th Regiment
3 x M4 Sherman
2 x Death from Above*
3 x Bloody Sickle
2 x Katyusha*
3 x From the People
3 x T-34-85And fill the remaining cards with whatever you enjoy, really! Though you can have four copies, I had at most three because flexibility helps more. Be sure to include enough cards to draw about 1/4 of, or eight to twelve, total cards from your deck. An empty hand with high kredits spells death!
3. B- and S-Tier Cards
If you need more suggestions, B-tier cards with three total copies across five FM decks were:
USA: T19 Howitzer, 17th Infantry Regiment
Soviet: Burning Sky, BT-7, 84th Infantry Regiment
Japan: Rising Sun, Type 93*, Akita Regiment, Type 97 Chi-Ha
German: 59. Panzergrenadier, 980. Volksgrenadier
Britain: 5th Brigade, Baluch Regiment, Blackburn Skua Mk II*, 22nd Guards Brigade*I'd consider most elites to be S-tier. After opening some sixty packs (about one per hour), I averaged one elite per deck. The elite was marginally helpful, but unnecessary for progressing. It doesn't even matter which they were because the decks don't and shouldn't revolve around them. You can disenchant (recycle) golden cards for crafting resources, but I'd be careful just because you'll open cards in time anyway. However, you'll never get back a golden card you destroy.
4. CCG Fundamentals
Collectible card games (CCG) like Hearthstone, Panzer General, Magic the Gathering, etc. share common concepts that apply to Kards:
Mulligan for 1-3 cost cards.
Trade units by matching your attack stat to their defense while keeping your unit alive, if possible (e.g. your 3/1 or 3/5 attacks their 4/3). Even a 1-health survivor will cost them a unit or order!
Use guard and buffs to make the reverse difficult for them.
Keep your units on the same side of HQ for easier guarding.
Save your removals (damage, destroy, retreat, etc.) for artillery, smokescreen, and armored threats.
Deal area damage first, then random damage, then single-target damage to maximize your output.
An exception is when you, e.g., ping (deal 1 damage to) a 1-defense unit in order to "randomly" destroy a 5-defense unit.
Try to use all your kredits each turn.
An exception is when your units will die or they have a board clear in hand. Signs of an incoming board clear include them 1) having zero to one units compared to your three or four and 2) skipping their turn while holding several cards. Usually having two or three more units than they do is enough. Another is waiting to play a combo or counter, which I discuss later.
Clear their units before going for face (HQ).
An exception is when you have lethal this turn or the next and need the extra damage.
It's not over until it's over! Don't show off when you're ahead, and don't surrender when you're behind. A lucky card may turn the tide!
5. The Front Line
The front line is best controlled with meat-shield infantry. High stats, no text, 3 or 4 kredits. They exist to soak damage and protect ranged units in your support. The stats should be cost ≤ attack ≤ health (e.g. 5th Infantry Regiment (2/3/4) or Lancashire Fusiliers (4/5/6)). Don't use tanks to hold the line early because their move cost is 2 compared to infantry's 1. This becomes less of an issue in the late game. Advance to the (empty) front line when you can:
gain bonuses as with USA or Japan,
offer a favorable, one-to-one trade (e.g. your 2/2 vs. their 3/2 in support),
push with two or three units together, preferably with a center guard,
hold the line until next turn, even against multiple defenders (e.g. your 2/5 vs. their two 2/2s in support),
send an ambush unit, even if it's a fighter (airplane), or
summon (play) more units and need to make space.If your opponent controls the front line, attack with units you want to keep in support so that your remaining units are free to advance after. Diversify the attack stat of your units. Having both a 3/6 and a 4/5 available gives you more options responding to an enemy unit that has 3 or maybe 4 defense. Leave the front line empty if the opponent has high-move cost units like tanks in support while you have guarded artillery and bombers. This will force them to waste kredits reaching you while you shell them from afar.
6. Combos and Counters
Earlier, I recommended spending all your kredits each turn as a general rule. However, there are times when you want to save cards for the next turn. One reason is to play a combo in a single turn. Here are some popular combos I encountered during my first week:
T19 Howitzer + M8 Greyhound or 17th Infantry Regiment = 2/3 artillery that can attack on turn 3.
84th Infantry Regiment + Naval Support = 8/8 infantry, best used right before it attacks.
Any 1-kredit infantry + Panzer 35(t) = 2/2 tank that can attack their support on turn 2.
Imperial Decree + Tora! Tora! Tora! or Naval Operation = Deal 2 damage to all enemies.
Cromwell Mk IV + The Desert Rats or Matilda Mk II = 5/6 tank that keeps gaining +2 attack.
Blackburn Skua Mk II + Precision Bombing = pin an enemy unit, then destroy it next turn.Another reason is to counter an expensive unit. Many removal cards (damage, destroy, retreat, etc.) are cheap so you may feel tempted to play them early, especially if you have nothing else to play. However, it's often better to skip your turn than waste a removal on a cheap unit.
e.g., you have a M16 Half-Track (3/2/2 that retreats an enemy air or infanty) in hand and nothing else playable on turn 3. You may feel tempted to return their recent 3/3/4 to hand. However, you should move units instead and save the retreat for a juicy target later like a 6/5/9 with guard.
7. Revising Your Deck
Note which cards remained unused or which (type of) cards could've saved you, then adjust your deck after each defeat (e.g. if you encounter many tanks, add +1 For the King; if many bombers, +1 Burning Sky, etc.). Add or remove only one copy per card each revision. Evolution is gradual. As Darwin says, it is neither the strongest nor smartest that survive, but the ones most responsive to change. You don't need elite cards or tactical genius; just update your counters. What did your victory condition look like? Your defeat condition? Which strong cards were in their deck? It takes one press of Steam's screenshot button to review each endgame!
8. Expanding Your Collection
Check your achievements often and focus on ones close to free packs. If you do buy packs outright for 10 gold, I recommend Allegiance to expand your collection since progression rewards you with base packs already. Play arena (draft) for quickest progress. Whales (big spenders) have no power there. From what I've gathered, the rewards are:
0 wins: 1 pack + 0 gold + (1 standard)
1 win: 1 pack + 0 gold + (2 gold or 10 resources)
2 wins: 1 pack + 2 gold + (1 standard, 1 limited, or 1 pack)
3 wins: 1 pack + 4 gold + (1 standard, 3 gold, or 9 resources)
4 wins: 1 pack + 6 gold + (1 standard, 2 gold, or 1 pack)
5 wins: 1 pack + 9 gold + (1 standard, 1 limited, or 15 resources)
6 wins: 1 pack + 15 gold + (1 standard, 5 gold, or 1 special)
7 wins: 1 pack + 18 gold + (2 packs, 1 special + 1 pack, 2 specials, or 1 elite!)You get one pack, a fixed amount of gold based on wins, plus a random bonus (samples included). If you follow the above principles, you can easily average 4+ wins, which is superior to buying packs. Draft favors aggressive decks and meat shields without text because combos are harder to perform. That means don't try to collect (Italy) alpine or (France) resistance cards unless you're offered multiple early in the draft. If so, you have to commit to collecting them all.
9. Draft Statistics完美通关。7-0的奖励与7-1或7-2相同。我记录了五十场游戏的胜率，每个主要国家十场。德国的战绩最好，英国最差。这可能只是我的玩法风格问题，但选牌更偏向进攻，而英国似乎更适合通过牵制、护卫和组合技进行控制。2020年4月的第十三赛季中，所有前五名玩家都偏爱德国，这似乎印证了德国的优势。
德国：4.8（第一名），美国：4.5（第二名），日本：4.2（第三名），苏联：3.3，英国：3.3
奖励：440金币+57包卡牌+（100资源+16张普通卡+10张稀有卡+6张史诗卡+1张精英卡！）
算上额外卡牌和资源，每包卡牌平均花费5金币。
