Hi, I'm two months in the game. I thought this would be an easy climb on the ladder like Clash Royale but I'm having difficulty.
I'm stuck at Rank 8 for 3 weeks now. Can't progress forward over 3/5 because I'm constantly facing Aerondight, Sihil, Golden Nekker and Nilfgaard who appears about 2-3 out of 5 matches.
I'm trying to make a viable Witcher archetype deck but is consistently failing. Everytime I reach 3/5 on rank, I lose next match and subsequent matches because of aforementioned big 3 toxic, unbalanced cards and Nilfgaard.
How on earth has the developers created such a toxic faction? Nilfgaard is absolutely not fun to play against. Having 1-3 purify cards on deck is not enough to counter constant locks and poison.
Not to mention, Nilfgaard has:
1. Yennefer: Convocation
2. Korathi Heatwave
3. Vilgefortz
These are not the only unbalanced cards, it has:
1. Philippe Van Moorlehem
2. Bribery, which can copy your finisher/win-con card
3. Stefan Skellen, who can replicate Bribery
These are just examples, I can't name them all.
I'm at 107 Geralt Journey and spent the forward level 25 journey level plus fast travels. I also spent buying gifts to friends but I'm regretting my decision on spending on this game. I find it fun at first but nothing is fun on constantly losing on the same unbalanced toxicity this game is offering.
I'm no pro, I admit. I did reach 6k points on Clash Royale where the highest points are just above 7k points thanks to experience since I've been a player there since Open Beta. I am losing on this game. I don't know, probably because I'm new or just too stubborn to change decks since im trying to make a viable Witcher archetype deck. Or I just suck. I don't know.
But alas, I have to admit defeat. I can't construct a viable Witcher deck. I can't find a solution against this unbalanced Meta. It's the same decks all over again and Witchers just can't contend with this ridiculousness.
There's no shame on admitting defeat. And I need help. I just can't. Not with Witchers. Not against big 3 and Nilfgaard.
This is my NR Witcher deck:
I need help on creating a viable Witcher archetype. I scoured google and YouTube for a viable 2022 Witcher archetype but found none. I need help with a viable Witcher archetype deck if not a viable Northern Realms Witchers.
I can gift anyone who can help me with faction/starter keg, border, cardback or board from the shop. It's the least I can do as a thank you for pulling me out of the pit of misery on rank 8.
