Noob question: How does betting cards work?

Post by winstonz »

Yeah this is really a noob question.
Up to this point I have only bet gold but not cards.
Can you tell me what happens if u win or lose when betting cards?
Do you get to pick one card from the opponent?

You can upgrade how many cards you get to pick. You start with one, but for a few grand in gold (not much) you can get all six of them (minus what might be protected via VIP ugprades). If you lose, you can pretty much count on losing all of them.

However, you can revive them, too, which is another upgrade. You can revive them all, but that costs gold. Silver one are a few hundred to revive, gold is about 1,200 (I think), and diamond cards are a couple of thousand. Ouch.

If you bet legendary ones, you can revive those for 15 diamonds.

Otherwise, you play in pro mode. You can practice or bet coins in pro mode, so it's a good idea to see how that is played before you jump into betting cards.

If you win, you can pick up to as many cards as your upgrade allows. I highly suggest getting this up a few notches, if not all the way.

Good luck!! Cards Loot Battles are INTENSE!

Is the number of cards u get to pick equal both ways?

e.g If i'm not upgraded, I can pick one card if I win, but can the opponent pick more of my cards if I lose (if they are upgraded?)

Yeah, your upgrade determines how many cards you can loot. So, you may only be able to loot one card if you aren't upgraded while your opponent can take all six cards you played (unless any are covered under VIP protection [which is a chance] or are of epic quality [which can't be looted]).

They can only choose from the six you play, not anything else from your deck. I forgot to mention that (because that was my largest fear).

It's been mixed. Some of them blow me out of the water, others is the opposite. At least when somebody huge pops up, I have the option to time out and just lose the 400 gold. When I'm facing 2+ epics that are level 20-something, I know I don't have a prayer. But most of the time, I'm fighting somebody close to my caliber. I think I've lost more than I've won, unfortunately. :( Oh well, the price of the game. :)

This is how my very first time playing Card Loot went yesterday, after waiting and being excited to be able to do it: I picked my first couple cards, saw that my opponent was Pr0digy, panicked, lost match, lost my cards, then cried! lol

If im not mistaken legendary already costs 25 diamonds.. (guess they figured they can skew the cost more in their favor to protect your beloved epics.)
