Let me set the record straight - BR is by far my least favorite event (it used to be Odyssey until they changed the format - now it is passable). People take BR WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too seriously!!! I have seen guilds dissolve over BR ranking - it happened to me once already, and almost happened a second time recently - to the extent that people left the guild for BR, then came back after.

However, I didn't think the original poster would be interested in all of that, so I went with the basics.

But to address your concern over my seemingly 'contradictory advice':

IN ORDER TO BE COMPETITIVE IN BATTLE ROYALE - A SKILL 10 'CURRENT' CARD IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! (Playing for 48 hours straight with only rest during half-time is necessary too)

Now, for the other 99.9% of players participating in BR:

1. You only need 1 BR card

2. An unevolved BR UR has the same skill as an Evolved UR

3. Purchasing costs less for a Reg card (some contend that an evolved is equal value to a Reg), and skilling is easier on a Reg - so most BR cards are traded as Reg cards.

4. Whatever BR card you have (Rare or UR) you should skill it to 10 if/when able (or buy it that way)

My deck has a (Airy) Shimmering Maiden Eleonora skill 10 as a permanent resident because I am too lazy to reconstruct my deck for every event. If I was a much more serious player I would rank higher in events - but I have a life too... Now before I say anything that gets me the wrath of serious BR players I will end this thread................
