    Horrible TT rules. Suggestions for an NPC?

    Been grinding out TT to both get Squall and reach 60 cards I've made decent progress. I have 1 more NPC in the 25 cost range that I just can't seem to beat though. Landenel, with his horrible random rule. He has nothing but high cards, with me getting stuck with crappy 1 stars all the time. The Fallen Ace Rule seems moot since it's never useful. Anyone with any ideas or suggestions on how to deal with this guy? His rules are horrible and put me at an unwinnable disadvantage.

    There is another NPC you can beat, there are 31 so if you can't beat this one, try the other one.

    That would be Rowena, who also has the Random rule.

    there are 32 NPCs (and I beat them all) as I got squall before entering mor dhona.


    As for landenel, you just have to try again and again until he does the "dumb as brick" move NPCs are all doing AND you have a good hand.

    Fun fact, his Fallen Ace rule plays AGAINST you, not for you, as he has no card with an A (at least I haven't seen any in my 50 matches before I win) but a few 1s. It's just a rule to ensure you can't bruteforce through him with good RNG on your hand.

    Landenel took FOREVER for me to beat. His random rule is the pits since his entire hand consists of rare cards, and none of them have an A rank so it's impossible to use Fallen Ace on them. Eventually I got lucky, but he's definitely my least favourite opponent.

    It normally shouldn't be a problem that opponents have entirely high level decks, as superior strategy should always be emphasized. But the random and to a smaller extent the chaos rule is completely in the pits and throws all strategy out the window. It turns the match into a brute force fight and you can never out-brute force an opponent who can field all high level cards. Those rules should be abolished, beat them once by sheer luck and avoid having to farm them as much as possible.

    Ya there are 32 TT NPCs now and we can expect more to arrive in the future due to the constant supply of new TT cards so the 30 NPC win will get easier to obtain later.

    I'd love to give the Random NPCs a handful of level 1 cards, see how they like the rule then. :I

    Do you need to beat him for the Squall achievement or for the card?

    If card, screw him. Buscarron for the Raya-O-Senna & A-Ruhn-Senna card, and Odin go Urth's Fount.
