Smutstone review
Looking to build the most powerful deck in Smutstone? You’re in the right place! We’ve put together this complete guide to help you dominate every match with the best cards in the game. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to optimize your current setup, our tier list will give you the edge you need. Let’s dive into what makes certain cards stand out and how to build a truly unbeatable deck.
This comprehensive Smutstone deck-building guide reveals key strategies for dominating matches with optimal card combinations and progression paths.
- The attack × hp product is the most reliable indicator of a card’s potential, not the standard power calculation.
- Completing a full 7-card set (especially Passion, Nature, or Fairy) provides a 75% bonus that outperforms random Mythic combinations.
- Start with the Passion deck for faster early-game progression before transitioning to other powerful combinations.
- Cards you actively use drop more frequently, allowing you to strategically guide your future deck composition.
Understanding card power and evaluation
When it comes to measuring a card’s true potential in Smutstone, there’s more than meets the eye. The game’s standard power calculation is (attack + hp / 3) / 2, but we’ve found a much more reliable indicator: the attack × hp product, typically shown in millions (M). This gives you a better sense of how a card will actually perform in battle.
All our evaluations consider cards at their absolute maximum potential: 10 stars, Level 50, with Divine stones and Soul bind level 12. It’s worth noting that these calculations don’t include the card set bonus (which can reach up to 75%) or potential artifacts – factors that can dramatically change a card’s effectiveness.
The most powerful cards in Smutstone belong to three special sets that stand head and shoulders above the rest:
- Passion (P) set
- Nature (N) set
- Fairy (F) set
When you collect multiple cards from the same set, you unlock increasingly powerful bonuses:
| Number of Cards | Set Bonus |
|---|---|
| 4 cards | 5% bonus |
| 5 cards | 10% bonus |
| 6 cards | 25% bonus |
| 7 cards (full set) | 75% bonus |
That 75% full set bonus is no joke – it’s actually more powerful than any combination of 7 Mythic cards you could put together. This is why focusing on completing a set should be your priority rather than just collecting random powerful cards.
Top tier decks and recommended progression
If you’re wondering which deck to build first, we recommend starting with the Passion (P) deck. This powerhouse will help you progress much faster in the early game and consists of: Temptress (Mythic), Undead Queen (Legendary), Inquisitor (Epic), Savage (Epic), Blind Warrior (Rare), Barbarian (Rare), and Owl (Legendary).
The Nature (N) deck is another fantastic option that can actually get you all the way to Island 10 with a 100% win rate – slightly outperforming other decks. But for beginners, the Passion deck offers more immediate benefits and easier card acquisition.
Your progression path should follow this strategy for maximum efficiency:
- Get Bone Walker (your first Mythic from the Fairy set) to 5-star
- Obtain Temptress (your second Mythic from the Passion set) and work towards 5-star
- Grab Owl when you get Lady Butterfly (your third Mythic from the Nature set)
- Complete your 7-card Passion deck to unlock that juicy 75% bonus
We’ve found that your card acquisition strategy matters more than you might think. The game has an interesting mechanic: cards you’re actively working on (seducing, leveling, using in your deck) will actually drop more frequently. This means you can start guiding your future deck composition surprisingly early in the game.
Mythic cards and soulbind strategies
Your first three Mythic cards are game-changers and should be prioritized. The first is Bone Walker from the Fairy set, followed by Temptress from the Passion set, and Lady Butterfly from the Nature set. These cards come with special artifacts that make both them and cards drawn alongside them significantly stronger against opposing cards.
Soulbind groups are a critical aspect of upgrading your deck that many players overlook. By upgrading cards in the same Soulbind group, you can bind those cards together for major stat boosts. The key groups to focus on are:
Group 2: Contains Blind Warrior, Barbarian, Inquisitor, and Savage – all key components of the P-deck. This group should be your main focus if you’re building the Passion deck.
Group 5: Includes Temptress, Undead Queen, and Bone Walker – some of the most powerful cards in the game. Upgrading these together creates a devastating combination.
Group 4: Contains Owl – which completes your Passion deck. Don’t neglect this one!
For resource management, we always tell our players to be selective. Don’t waste precious resources leveling up cards that won’t make it into your final deck. Instead, focus on creating an evenly powered deck where all cards have similar strength levels. This matters because the game tends to select your weakest cards more often in battles.
Tournament and chest optimization
Daily tournaments are your ticket to obtaining those coveted Mythic cards. You’ll need around 1200-1400 mojo points to secure a win. We’ve found several reliable ways to earn these points:
Completing map chapters gives a substantial boost, especially when you get 3-star victories for the first time. Each card seduction nets you 30 mojo points, and leveling up cards also contributes significantly to your total.
Here’s a pro tip that’s served us well: log into tournaments about an hour before reset. This often places you in groups with fewer high-scoring opponents, making it easier to secure a top position and claim those Mythic card rewards.
As for chests, they drop in a fixed order according to Kyle’s table (a resource many players swear by). If you’re strategic, you can skip chests you don’t want by fighting without an open slot. Early on, Legendary and Epic chests provide the most value, giving you higher rarity cards to bolster your deck.
The Wheel of Fortune (WoF) is your friend for managing excess card duplicates. First, dust duplicates after seducing a card to 5-star, then use that dust to spin the wheel for prizes. We’ve found that Rare cards are optimal for WoF purposes and should be seduced first, as they come in abundance from Duel chests and aren’t too resource-intensive to seduce.
