In ranked battle where winning is everything, we wanted to make sure that energy consumed will not be wasted. As we grind until to the last blink of our eyes, rewards are getting diminished due to limited Energy Capture Rate (ERC), but having these four bonuses will increase your DEC rewards in ranked battle:
I am sure you can feel DEC rewards from ranked battle are decreasing because of the reward pool and increasing number of players.
In this article, I will share my strategy on gaining juicy DEC rewards. In the above-mentioned list, we will focus only on numbers 1 to 3 from summoners to monsters since not all players have guilds.
I usually play the "focus fire" strategy and is really effective for win streaks. Remember the magic users? They have no "snipe" ability right? Notice how they concentrate attacking on the single position. It's really effective, but all cards have weaknesses. Winstreaks increases your DEC bonus from 5 to 50 percent if you have 2 or more consecutive wins and drops to zero if you lose.
These 2 cards increases DEC rewards by 20% (10% each)! Just imagine even if you win just once, that kind of bonus will be big.
It doesn't matter what rarity of the card is, as long as the conditions are met, gold and alpha. You can get any of these combinations:
Gold - Alpha
Gold - Promo
If you are rent-to-play player, you might want to rent the cheapest one. For me, Light Element is the cheapest. Choose the one with the design like this:
You can also choose a monster above (gold alpha), or like this (gold-promo),
Assuming you have fully chosen gold alpha/promo cards placed in 6 battle slots, so that's 120 percent bonus DEC in battle (60 - gold, 60 - alpha/promo). But don't force yourself to use these cards just to gain bonus DECs especially to those battles with rulesets.
Renting or using gold, alpha, and promo cards will give you increased DEC reward bonus. If you have tight budget, you can settle for gold or alpha only, or just rent for common and rare cards since epic and legendary cards are expensive.
