Getting to 30 - Getting Over the Triple Triad Beginner's Hurdle

[Archadius]

It is not necessary to beat the other Gold Saucer NPCs to get a card from Elmer. It took me a really long time to get anything from him, too, but I couldn't beat Aurifort or the Roe lady without stronger cards. I got the Bahamut card from Elmer after farming him for 4 days. After that I was able to beat the last 2 GS NPCs.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I've beaten all those NPCs except Cpt Random BS, so it's nice to know my efforts are not in vain, just poor luck.

So currently at 37 cards, getting that upgrade has made a nice improvement on my win rates. Once I hit 30 cards I put together some decks based on what I have read around the interwebs. For the most part though I used the recommended deck when going against NPC's. When I hit 30 cards I was @ 14/30 NPC battles. I got lucky on some duty drops and spent time farming the NPC's I could for cards. Once I unlocked the upgrade it took slightly over an hour to get the last 16 down, mainly due to the ET windows for some opponents. My hardest opponent was the captain in Gridania, he was using two 5* cards, one 4*, and two 3* cards on me. Took a few tries but ended up getting the win and all his cards in the play time frame. He was the last to beat as well for Squall, which I promptly ran and retrieved!

I do hope they expand the amount of decks we can have created. I like to swap Squall and Terra around depending on rules and opponent and would like to just have the decks already made.

At what amount of cards is the next deck upgrade? 60?

Yes. At 60 you allowed to use unlimited 3* cards as opposed to unlimited 2*.

This though is a grind as I am finding out. Some of these bas@rds are unwilling to drop anything lol.
