Deck building and card placement would be good info as well. I admit I have not mastered card placement in my deck and still need more education on that subject. Honestly, I can't answer that question above about which card is better, I've messed around so much with offensive and defensive card placement and with the inconsistency of damage done to a boss because of power creep or how fast my cards die off it's tough to say. During the last boss event sometimes I could 1 cube a particular boss and sometimes i'd die with 1.5mil left on the board. I'd make adjustments and it would appear to have helped a little but then the next time i'd die with 2mil left on the board. Sounds like some have figured it out but i'm still trying to figure it out.

I don't think anyone has the complete solution written out in their head as to which card to use. You sort of just have to feel it out. the decision between Attack vs. health and defense hinges on the ability to last one more round (potentially but perhaps not) vs, doing additional damage each round you do survive for. The problem with this is that it depends on how much damage each enemy does to you and how much damage you are able to absorb amongst the three cards that the enemy hit. The variability also comes in with triple and critical hits.

in any case, yes, a lot of newbies ask the same questions again and again, we need a proper reference guide that people will go to and find easy answers so we don't have to deal with them continuously in these threads. It needs to be well written and provide easy reference (otherwise it will not reduce any of these requests). As for strategies, everyone adapts their own based on their own style; i wouldnt propose to tell someone what to do no matter what as it depends on budget and what they want to achieve.
