TT Deck Limit

[AsahinaMyLove]

What is the reason for not allowing me to use more than 1 rare card in a deck unless I own over 30 cards?

I have enough cards to make a deck of Primals that I earned but no I'm not allowed to use them? That's just silly, if I earned the cards I should be able to use the cards.

After I put my 3x 4 Stars and wanted save deck -> System: "Not allowed! :P" -> Card NPC: "Bahahahha and I use only 3-4stars >: D"

I totaly lost interesst on that cardgame I liked much on FF8.
Was a nice time waste to get my 1st 4stars. <<;

It shouldn't take very long to obtain 30 cards to get over the first rarity hurdle for TT. Once you obtain the starter deck and obtained the awarded cards from the Golden Saucer, start visiting all the NPCs around the world for the 1-star and 2-star cards. When you have some spare tokens, purchase some silver and gold packs from the vendor.

The pack is kinda a rip off in my opinion. I mean, I bought the total of 6 gold packs so far, and all I got are 4 Momodi, and 2 Gerolt...lol. But have to keep buying anyway because of those Zedane, and WoL card..../sigh what a mgp sink - -"

The original Triple Triad system was perfect. Win a match, you get one/all cards, lose a match, you lose one/all cards. Instead We hot this Triple Atma Triad. Why? Probably to artificually longeviate the content and not upset bads for losing good cards.

As of now, I have 26 cards collected and no weak npcs left to farm. Therefore, I'm down to farming npcs with 1-2 stars stronger cards on average. So far 2 hour-ish of farming for Alphinaud but nothing lol. Seems reasonable. Of course, I could farm dungeons/trials for the missing cards, but after getting my Zeta, I have no desire to do the rumba all over again.

Triple Triad is a good addition, but how they handled it is bad. I have a deck full of cards, out of which I can only use a fragment of.

Because the NPCs play TT so hilariously bad that they need the handicap.

Yeah the TT AI is astonishingly bad. Even though he has like 3x 5-star and 2x 4-star cards, you can still ream Gegeruju if you get a lucky swap and he gives you the Sultana or something. I had some epic wins against him where I forced Sudden Death 3-4 times in a row before I beat him.

Playing TT against the NPCs isn't necessarily playing against the strength of their decks, it's playing against the mechanics of their AIs. Almost all the AIs have some exploitable weakness, King Elmer is the obvious example of this but you can even beat Baderon (Chaos) and Buscarron (Order) with just your 1-star deck and a single 5-star. I lucked out and got a random Onion Knight from a WoD and that card carried me all the way from my starter deck to 30. I didn't farm any Primals or dungeons to reach 30, I did nothing but straight up farm the NPCs to reach 30. It only took me a day of beating up NPCs excluding Elmer, that guy took forever to drop my Bahamut.

You don't need an amazing deck to beat all non-Random NPCs. But the Random NPCs, those guys can go die in a Calamity.
