1.Is it always best to go for 'recommend' button when building your deck?

I've been playing the game for a few weeks, and have build-up a collection of decent r4's from episodes. I've fiddled around with 'editting' my deck, and it seems that I can actually 'edit' my team to get a stronger deck power compared to going for the 'recommend' button. I haven't done enough testing yet to see if an increased deck power is worth while with lower overall HPs. Any thoughts?

2.Does the 'attack power increased by 20%' for having all Decepticons or Autobots factored into the deck power figure?

3.When you pair for example, a Decepticon card with a Decepticon weapon to get the bonus, does it have to be the same name for both character and weapon? Furthermore, if they are the same name for character and weapon, is there a further bonus?

Cheers in advance! 1. Not always. Sometimes, it is better to edit your own deck. The recommend feature does NOT take into account anything that is added at battle-time, like the Episode decepticon/autobot bonuses.

2. See #1.

3. It just has to be a weapon of the same faction, not the same name. However, using their signature weapon gives them a total boost of 30% to all stats. That may or may not be worth using a slightly weaker signature weapon to get that bonus. If you go to your deck, tap on edit, tap on the character, then tap along the middle(with all the little symbols), you can see what bonuses are applied.

Basically, just fiddle with your deck, and see what you can come up with. Also, straight Deck Power only counts for so much. Some high power decks do not last long against the bosses, and thus actually do LESS overall damage than some lower powered decks.
