I agree that this events' mechanics need work, but there are tactics and skills needed to be successful. I hate to sound like a broken record and not offer any material help. So, for the T1 players, avoid choosing decks with multiple high end R4 cards because a critical hit can down most current R5 cards but not all. So, also position your R5s that can't be downed by one critical appropriately (for the number crunchers) so that your 3 teams can last longer. Also, obviously, choose decks with less multipliers.

Gauge the DP of the decks. Sometimes it is better to battle decks with R5s and R4s than decks stacked with R4s. Downing that R5 will drastically lower their DP.

It maybe less obvious, but some R4s seem to trigger critical hits more often than others when they are the stronger cards In an opponents' deck IE evolve Soundwaves. Avoid evolve Soundwaves in the 3x row.

Oh, and the latest events's Starscream raid cards are cards to exploit when you see them.

Also, if you have a full R5 deck you should be able to 1-cube for the most part until Streak 25 or so. Then you will be at the disadvantage more because during some of the following battles you will be attacked first requiring you to increase your damage. Streaks 40+ are mandatory 3-cubes.

I hope some of this advice helps.

Oh, this event is terrible. I have noticed many nuances that are set against the players.
