Best Decks in Peaks of Prestige TCG
Make Use of Inferno Rider's Trial
Inferno Rider is one of the best counters agaist Thundering Mephis, as any deck that's built around it banks on dishing out huge amounts of damage thru Modulation. Be that as it may, Inferno Rider depends on huge damage outputs like this since it completes its trial when the player reaches 15HP and below.
Prepare the Battle Field for Inferno Rider
Given Gallus' deck's damage, you can get the Inferno Rider as early as Round 3, which means you have an ample amout of time gradually setting up the battle field for it by using cards that provide team-wide buffs! Additionally, you can use Rover's Resonator Tactics can help you amp up its damage exponentially!
How to Beat The Nightmare's Trial Mini Duels
How to Beat Anxious Man
To defeat the Anxious Man, use a deck that's built around the Inferno Rider, as all the enemy decks used in this trial. bank on increasing their damage output thru modulation. In addition, the Anxious Man deploys all 3-star Echoes on the frontline, which means your best option to win each round is by doing the same!
How to Beat the Angry Woman
The Angry Woman is, by far, the easiest matchup of all the duels in this trial, since it doesn't utilize much of its cards, and doesn't Modulate as much as it should. Bruteforcing each round is the most effective strat to win this duel, but be careful as it still deploys its 3-cost Echoes on the frontline, so be careful from soaking in too much damage!
How to Beat the Quiet Elder
To beat the Quiet Elder, we recommend running the Inferno Rider, as well, since the cards of his decks are somewhat similar to what Gallus the Nightmare will use for his trial. Having said that, expect to receive huge amounts of damage on the first few rounds, which should be fine, as it brings you closer to summoning the Inferno Rider, to help you win this duel!
Take note that the 3-cost echoes of the Quiet Elder will have a Resistance skill active, rendering them immune for 5s after being defeated. We recommend placing the Inferno Rider on the backline because of this, so it won't immediately take the aggro of the enemies, since you'd want the Rider to be the last one standing to activate its passive!

Anonymous 6 monthsThis is such a dogcrap game mode where they are fighting with preset patterns to guarantee strong cards and you're dealing with RNG that could give you worthless trash. You can't build team wide buffs if you don't get cards that give you team wide buffs, it's so stupid to say that as a guide... it's like saying "Just get perfect Echoes" to beat the combat. I hate TCG anyway but this is so annoying because Kuro always lock rewards behind trash events.
