Best Way to Farm Points Fantastic Recruitment Points

If you have already gotten your title or don't care about anything except point farming then the best strategy is to play the 30 energy version and only go for odd one outs. Even though energy cost is tripled, points are also tripled so it's more time efficient.

The strategy is:

1. Ignore all the numbers and focus only on the color of the cards
2. On the first round find what color is most present in your hand
3. Swap out every color except the color that appears the most
4. If you have 4 cards of the same color by round 2, keep swapping the single card to try and get 5 cards of the same color.
5. Never fight the boss early even if you already have odd one out. You can earn even more points if you get Faction Reaction

Obviously RNG still plays a role and you can end up getting lone wolf, however, this strategy is the safest and most optimal way to farm points.

You are kinda wrong; but if it works for you ..

ahmynuts

When you do the calculations wrong but somehow end up with the right answer

BringPopcorn

The only reason why his math works in his favor is that a 4 card "flush" actually pays something on this weird busted game.
He is basically playing poker drawing for flushes constantly. A 4 card flush being an ok result and a 5 card flush being a win.
But 2 pairs, trips and straights pay better than a 4 card flush which is why the numbers shouldn't be ignored at all.

70k points using my method with only 20 refills used including the energy refills I used to grind for the title in which I ended with a lot of lone wolfs. Clear evidence that my method works, interesting how nobody else can back up their claims 😴

Herbal_Taxman

“Claims” lol

Congratulations on discovering what many of us have known about probability for many years.

I'm at 30k but i only used 7 refills... I think my method is better, even if its a game of pure luck ..
And its interesting you are showing a screenshot of a 4 card straight while ignoring the numbers and hunting a flush....

CheeseMaster482

I've noticed a trend with a specific group of forum members. Can you read? I clearly said in my comment that the 20 energy refills includes the energy I spent trying to get the title which I got after around 14 refills.... .... .... ... .... .... .... .... ... ....

Can’t wait to see OP whinging in weeks 2/3 when his energy refills have run out and he can’t play the game mode.

I’m sure the words ‘pay to win’ will be making another appearance.

CheeseMaster482

Already ran out of energy and am actively grinding arena for more. It's nice to finally have some replayability in the game that is actually fun 😊

FiiNCH

So you need to grind arena to grind another arena. Yeah really fun 😂

BringPopcorn

Math is not mathing, so are you saying you got around 80k ish points with 6 refills hunting flushes? ... Yeah.. not believable

CheeseMaster482

Wow, not only can you not read but you also can't see properly. My screenshot shows 70k points, I had 30k points by the time I got the title. You can't even ragebait properly oh my dayssssssssss....... ...... ...... ..... ..... ..... .... ..... .... ..... .......

BringPopcorn

Dude your math is all over the place, I don't care how many points you had before farming the lowest points possible or how many refills you used. Farming flushes is a bad tactic and its what you are trying to promote as a good strategy. You said yourself IGNORE THE NUMBERS, its hilarious cause the screenshot has a 4 card straight with 2 suits.. so how are you IGNORING THE NUMBERS. I am not rage baiting you, I am straight up telling you that your method is stupid. I don't care wether you rage over it or not.

MrSanguini

Actually I think the strat is mostly really good. I dunno about it being the best, but seeing as faction reaction is so much easier to obtain than the other triple-digit hands and pursuing one still has a minimum guarantee of an odd one out hand, it makes for a fairly consistent and decent scoring strategy. You could always present a better one if you have any, though.

BringPopcorn

Luck plays about 80% of the strategy, there is no actual strategy, just educated guesses. Yes I understand 4 of the same color pays sometiing at least. Ignoring all the numbers and keeping whatevenr you have the most colors is not the right answer though. If you got 1 pair and 2 of the same color ignoring the pair and picking the 2 color ones on the chance of getting 2 or 3 of the same color on a redraw is not smart

spiderknight616

What is a better strategy then?

BringPopcorn

Not ignoring the numbers? 🤣

PT_99

Gamblers arguing their method is better.

I’m slow, someone please explain it to me in words I can understand

Use real life five card draw poker strategies.

If you have trash, swap 5.
Face card (Ace in this instance) and trash, swap 4.
Pairs, swap 3.

In this variation, if you have 4 of a straight or flush you're already guaranteed a winner so you can chase the 5th card.

The important thing to remember here is unlike actual poker, you have 3 draw opportunities, which means a pair can turn into an almost straight or flush, or turn into a triple or 2 pair or full house which are more valuable than the previous options.

Give yourself the most opportunities to luck into something.

But hey, don't take my word for it:

Ugh, that bad. A pair, is a pair, is a pair. As you're not competing against other players Ace vs 2 is meaningless.
Swapping 5 is pointless. At the worst you're going to have 2 of the same color, I would swap 3 in the case and go for the weird 4 card flush.

Dont see why people are burning all their energy refills and grinding nonstop. If you wont hit top 5% , then the ranked rewards will be meaningless and even that will go for a very high score given how many people are playing the game mode

Zacharias10719

Because people don't know what the cut off for top 50% is yet for the solo rewards and thry don't know want to miss out on them. Plus most people are 20 plus energy refill sitting in overflow at any one time anyway

Polygon

Do you mean 5%? As that has titan shards, and after that bracket, the rewards seem to plummet. Top 50% looks like just 5* shards and lower

Graves_3

If you place top 50% you get 1 point. Repeat for 3 weeks and you get the bottom 3 milestones. That’s about all I am going for.

Casino is gonna get you. No counting cards

SirGamesBond

I have 25+ refills.
I used 2. And some hourly energy.
Reached 11-12k points.
I'll go for 15k to try for 50%.
I don't care.
I already don't play arenas. this is mundane arena 2.0

The best game mode i enjoy these days is autoplying lower eq.
Only for top dog skilled players like me.

Wait until this genius finds out what a "straight" and "full house" is.
