New Version Introduction V2.11
Version 2.11 is introduced on 2nd December 2014, an emergent update version.

System Adjustment:
1. Card evolving needs more card input but evolved cards’ level become lv41 instead of lv 1. Now you can evolve up to 2nd stage.
2. Card crafting will now show success rate. Diamond cards can no longer be used in crafting.

Bug Fixes:
1. Fixed IOS 8 display problem
2. Fixed Succubus Queen, Banshee of Roses additional 10% skill damage to its restrained faction
3. Fixed dislocation of symbol of faction bonus
4. Fixed evolved cards statistic miscalculation problems
5. Kendoka Girl can be used now

Balance Changes:
1. Succubus skill: “have its HP deducted by 12%→10%”
2. Slaughters skill: “it recovers 35%→25% HP if its HP ratio is below 50%→40%”
3. Poison Rain: CD 6s→8s
4. Hero skill: “each time this card destroys a target, it recovers 50%→10% HP”
5. Summer Time: “increases its ATK by 200→150”, enhancing increment is better

Comment on new version?
Card Evolving consumes fewer rubies now but rubies still cannot be all refunded back when reset level. Players may still struggle whether evolve of not. For Card Crafting, no more legend cards can be obtained. It is a bad new to most players.

Regarding balance changes, all popular low rarity cards have been weakened. Succubus is still useful but now Slaughter and Poison Rain are just fair. For Hero, if just look at the statistics, it could be good but it is harder to survive now.

V2.11 is just an emergent update so no significant effect to the environment. Free players should develop new strategy in order to be competitive.

New Cards Review (V2.1):
Kobold:
It seems that it can exchange 1 for 1 and absorb some damage. However, when it is destroyed, The activation time of restrict-type trigger card should only have 2-3times left. Also, type of trigger card cannot be identified in Pro Mode so it is risky to use this card.

Sister Apprentice
Need to be destroyed as soon as possible in a battle in order to utilize its effect. Maybe useful in specialized deck with balance between number of this card and spell cards.

Lizardman
Magic attack and Ability Optimized are good combination for it to be Heavy Armor Striker. However, most common Heavy Armor units are Red Dragon, Dragon Slayer, Frost Wyrm. Their first attack is at 7/8s so Lizardman should be placed at the front or accompanied with Haste in order to optimize its value.

Tomb-raiding Girl
It is super strong if and only if 1v1 with epic card. However, it is difficult to attract attack from popular epic cards like Slayer and Godfather at the early stage of battle. It will set the upper limit of HP and ATK of deck if you want to.

Shadow Shield
Diamond/Trap/Hell Legion/CD6
Ability: When friendly Unit is attacked by enemy Unit with min ATK higher than 400. It will take 300 damage at most.
Long CD so it is less useful than Withstand. Just reduce damage so it is less useful than trap like Pit Trap. Except for Hell Legion, there is nothing special for this card.

Sexy Santa Girl
Acceptable attack point. Ability is “stealing 25% Max HP of the attacker”, can be applicable to common Unit Cards like Red Dragon, Nine-Tailed Fox, Dragon Slayer, Creator. Counter the AOE counter-Violet Maid. Many new strategies can be developed with this Girl. Imprison
An out-standing trap card when against two or more epic cards. HP deduction, 2cd and nature force faction have raise its value a lot. This card has also brought huge impact on traditional Epic-oriented gaming environment. Using epic cards is no longer riskless. Even you don’t use this card in battle, having one can also give you advantage (psychologically) when facing Epic players. Gathering Storm
Dealing huge HP reduction on single Unit. Even Creator will be one-shot kill. CD is a bit too long.

Cards Evaluation (V2.11)
I write this part as a reference for newbies and hope to increase sharing of ideas regarding new version.

Criteria for evaluation:
1. Multiusability
2. Figures (ATK, HP, DEF, CD)
3. Skills
4. Others (Attack type, Armor type, Faction)

Epic card:
Rank S:
Dragon Slayer
With Faction Bonus, it is not hard to see units with high HP. Low level Slayer won’t be affected by Seal, high armor, 8CD, making Slayer all rounded damage dealer.
Frost Wyrm
Faction Bonus provides it extra HP, easier to survive and more attack chance . Tank with great debuff.
Rank A:
Creator
As the last two cards in Pro mode, Creator still have ability to absorb Weak Attack Target Type damage and deal considerable damage. Less Godfather in this version also increases its survival rate. However, Creator needs level and high level Elves Seduction to be a good attacker.
Phoenix
As a single card, Phoenix has ideal statistics and is a good damage absorber. It won’t lose 20%HP if it is trapped so it is a fast unit to consume traps. However, because of Chaos attack, it may not be a good team player.
Godfather of Demons
High figures. Although only with 45% counterattack, it is still a good bonus to fight with AOE units. Hell Legion Faction is double-edged, making Devil’s Daughter its biggest enemy.

Others:
Other Epic cards generally are strong only under certain situations, or need high level of coordination with other cards in deck.

Legend Card:
Rank S:
Jenifer
Heavy Armor Killer
Succubus Queen
Most unique skill. It can restrict opponent’s choice of Faction. Also, it is very effective to Magister and Red Dragon around.
Devil’s Daughter
High figures. Counter to Godfather. High attack and Weak Target making it an outstanding finisher
Red Dragon
High figures. It is a good trap “consumer” and good card against Creator. Also, there is not much unit of Heavy Armor between 1-4stars so Red Dragon is one of the best choices.
Rank A:
Nine-Tailed Fox
Good figures. Excellent skill but it is a big problem to attract fire effectively.
Chain Lightning
Benefit from Faction Bonus

Diamond Card:
Rank S:
(Opponent’s) Skeleton King
High figures and good trap “consumer”. Miracle creator.
Rank A:
Unicorn
Enchanted Armor killer. Ideal finisher of High Magister and Skelton King. As Blizzard becomes 10CD, it can be placed at front now.
Hot Ninja
300% first time damage can kill Light Armor instantly. May play good combo with High Magister. Be careful of Frost Wyrm when dealing with Creator.
Evil Lich
Despite of CD11, it is also a miracle creator when it can activate twice.

Golden Card:
Rank S:
Priest
Not bad figures. The only one Magic Weak attack type unit with healing ability which is good for battle of attrition.
Rank A:
Tauren Axe
Good figures but chaos attack and afraid of pit trap.
Divine Barrier
Another miracle creator. Free player can make use of this card and High Magister.

Silver Card with potential:
Ice Elemental
Combo with Priest can benefit from Faction bonus and perform better in attrition.
Bear Warrior, Blessing of Mother Earth
Also benefit from Faction Bonus, extra HP and -1CD are both essential.
Succubus
HP is power.

Just my two cents. If you have any ideas, please feel free to comment below. If you need further information, you can download Palringo App and search for “Epic Cards Battle” group.

25/01/2015 Updated "Imprison".

What do you think about this card? I think it is a good Epic Card Counter. The CD is a bit short which make it more OP.

Nice information here.
I have learnt something new for me here.
Thanks for posting.
