User blog:Congo1/Noob Tips

Here are tips for people starting out. Unfortunately, I am still new myself - so this will have to grow as I do, or people help add important tips...

1. Faction (Class) :  Choose whether you want to be and Autobot or Decepticon.
You will receive cards of both factions, but you will get a bonus for using cards of your own faction. I chose Autobots, but for some reason, all of my good cards have been Decepticons... Also, the last two events have focused on 'fighting' Autobots, so all of the x2, x3 and x5 cards and bonuses are for Decepticons. I am sure this will vary in the future, but take this into consideration when choosing. ==1a. Specialization: Heavy, Melee, Ranged - What do you like...== I have not yet determined what this does for you, other than choosing which card you want to be your leader.

3. Trans-Scan: Now or later?
As soon as you acquire both the Robot form and Alt form of a card (whether through questing or through card packs) you will be asked if you want to Trans-Scan them. In fact, your leader card will be automatically Trans-Scanned during the tutorial!



For any other card (other than your leader where you have no choice) DO NOT Trans-Scan your cards right away. There are two reasons I say this: 1. The amount of bonus you receive on a Level 1 card is only 5% of the LEVEL 1 stats, where the bonus on a maxed card is 10% of the MAXED stats - which are considerably higher! 2. There seems to be a bonus during events that makes enhancing easier and less costly - outside of events you should limit how much you enhance to take advantage of this bonus.

 4. Events: What is that Exclamation point for? Events run for a certain duration (approximately 7 days). During this period, Event bosses can be found during normal questing. When you click 'Fight Boss', you have the ability to attack the boss and earn not only points toward your event rank, but also items and credits to use.
