Tips on How to Win on Daily Tournaments

In the online trading card game, Urban Rivals, the best way to earn clintz (the in-game currency) and credits (money used in buying booster packs) is to participate in the daily tournaments. Playing one game during tournament time will net you a 50 clintz bonus just for participation. Managing to be in the top-third of the ranking will give you 50 clintz and 1 credit. Being in the top 10 gives you an insane amount of clintz aside from the bonus credit! To buy character cards, you must have enough clintz. To buy one of the booster packs, you must just have a minimum of 20 credits. Easy peasy? Well, not exactly.

Being the top third tier is not an easy route, there are a lot of things to consider before you can achieve that goal. One is to have a good Daily Tournament deck. There are two types of decks you can create and they're generically named as: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 decks must not exceed the 25-star count limit while Type 2 decks is a free-for-all deck creation system.

One of the most important things in these Daily Tournaments is earning Battle Points. These battle points or BP's are awarded to you after every battle regardless if you lose or win. Of course you get bigger BP's during a victory, but losing will also net you some BP's as well. Quitting on the other hand, deducts BP's from your pool! So, that's the first of my tips in winning in the Dailies: "Never quit a battle during daily tournaments!"

My second (and most important) tip involves what type of deck you must build.
I will now share a special secret with you that gave me so much victories in daily tournaments, you won't believe it! Make a deck with a 26-star count, preferably a mono-clan like Sentinel or Rescue, and then play in the Type 2 Daily Tournament room. With a lower-than-usual star-count, most people with Godlike decks will beat you to a pulp, but in the instance you win a match against them, it will net you a 20+ BP's in one match! Several times, I even got 30 battle points after beating my opponent's full 20-star draw with my measly lesser-starred draw. Try replicating that in Type 1 rooms, I assure you it will be really hard. That's the beauty of the deck selection process.

Third tip is "Never waste a minute of time!"
The trick to winning tournaments is utilizing the whole hour alloted for it. There's no room for chatting with your opponent or just plugging GG tags every time your battles end. If you're seriously wanting to win and make it to the top of the pack, be mindful of the time. This is the perfect opportunity to earn clintz and credits!
Last tip I have to give you is "Play with the best of your ability."

It's already a given that everyone in the daily tournaments are in it to win it, but there are instances when you will be battling with newbies. Don't pity them, just be cruel during Daily Tourneys! Getting to battle a newbie is like food served to you in a silver platter, make them suffer for facing you! OK, you may then apologize AFTER the hour is through just so you can erase the bad karma. But whatever you do, always try to beat the opponent no matter who they are. There's always room for friendly matches after tournament times, but during daily tourneys its business. Like what they say: "Never mix personal issues with business. It's just not right."

Good luck on the Daily Tournaments and see you there!
