The random rule is not okay

[Tadacho]

How does it upset balance? This is an NPC. The rules are meant to be working against YOU, the PLAYER, to make it more difficult. Not the NPC. Each NPC has been individually designed with a strategy and difficulty in mind.

Also, check the active help text for Triple Triad. It specifically states that rules do not apply to several NPCs. Yes, it's difficult, but it's doable. Change your deck, grind for cards through other means so you can develop a 2 star or 3 star deck and come back to him.

If you're interested in a strat to counter his random cards: obtain a 2 star deck ideally. Play your first card with a 4 or 5 vulnerable. He will claim it. He will have to claim with a higher number, such as 6, 7, 8 etc. This means he will be using his strongest number to claim yours and will hopefully, depending on card placement on the board, leave his low number vulnerable is doing so. Claim his, with a defensive card (blocking yourself into a corner so he can't take you). Play your cards defensively, don't try to take his cards after that first one. You only need to hold one of his cards to hold the board. Play your highest card (Double Ace if you got lucky!) last to claim anything you can at the end.

Yes, it's random what cards you get to play with. Solution? Get more cards, of higher star value, and increase your chances at getting better cards.

Just because you can't defeat him doesn't mean other people can't, and certainly doesn't mean the game or rule is broken. Rules are there for us, not the game/AI. It's intentionally designed to be a road block and make the game more challenging!

Seriously, go away and improve your deck before complaining waah it's too hard it's broken.

This guy knows what he's talking about, thank you.

Half of your post doesnt even make sense, because it doesnt have anything to do with the random rule, so why even posting this?

Also when will wannabe pros finally stop acting like it requires skill to beat npcs? they only lose because they are playing bad, and if they are playing perfectly you lose.
Give 5 Star decks from NPCs to players, they will never lose to a 3 star deck if they are not stupid.
