Using AST's Expand in Light Party Duties

[Arrius]

There is nothing wrong with expanded balance and so forth, even in light parties. Well, unless one DPS is 5k and the other is 1k. But if they're close enough, and tank and healer and DPSing, it's still a good gain. And even if there is a large disparity, sometimes you just have to roll with what RNGsus gives you.

Or you actually play them out properly and pick favorites. Some observation is required, but once you know who performs better, you know who gets card priority (depending on the damage role, of course) since you want to have your cards used for maximum effect.

While Expanded has reduced potency and is less effective than Extended in Light Parties, all I have to say is this; Using any buff is better than doing nothing and hoarding cards for 3 minutes trying to get the perfect setup to last for 30 seconds. I cannot tell you how many Astrologians I've played with that go through 3-6 waves of enemies not using cards because they only want Extended Balance. That's honestly, what I call a bad Astrologian.

This is about people using Expand in light parties, not about 'lazy' Astrologians or ones that look for the perfect draw card combo. I only wonder about the obsession of burning Spire, while discarding it is a much better option 95%+ of the time.
