why am i not thinking the same as you guys? i also am a free player and instead of making rants, formulate some strategies that best suits your play style lol

'''Ranking Reward. '''Before you think of ranking, you must first have FAW deck, right? For me, it took me over 1 year (started April2013) to finally attempt to rank at Sulis event since i've obtained some free HURs and accumulated huge stash of swords and shoes in presents along the way at that very long duration... Be a sender first and don't stop even if you have enough copies of event cards (for medals). Some rant even when its only 3rd or 4th day of the event lol

'''BP. '''And since the removal of free BP from FAW, free players find it more difficult to rank now. But i say, just be a killer. Don't bother to be a trader. Befriend low lvl players and wait and kill their FAWs. That's how you optimize the use of your BPs. Yeah i know being a pure leecher sounds bad but its the best way to earn points now without going through "very low subdue point" AWs.

'''Witch Gate. '''Optimize the use of free full vitality refill to your advantage to at least get inside a witch gate once per day or twice if you're lucky without using any light shoes. Once again, patience is the key. In this case, 1 or 2 attempts per day is better than no attempts at all, right?

'''GSR/GUR. '''Free players will have difficulty to make one of these. And as i said, take your time to gather awakening materials one day at a time and you'll get there one way or the other. So don't compete with cashers/rankers since they deserve to have it. Be patient to wait for good cards that can be used as your stepping stone to build an FAW team one day.

'''Limited Enemy. '''I wont argue with this since i also experience the difficulty of obtaining latest limited enemies especially Frosty and with Witch Gate spawn in the way, its more difficult than ever. This will need a lot of luck or just make short-term remedies by hunting Frosty only when "free full vitality refill" is available or when your kingdom is nearing lvlup (99%) so you would use up 2 light shoes less.

Generally receiving all event cards'''. '''Well it takes luck (RNG) to receive an SR from a drop, so just keep on killing/sending/farming within your BP capacity. The moment you stopped farming F/AWs, that's also the moment you will never receive cards (even by chance).

'''Summoning. '''Summons are a casher's territory so if a free payer decides to play alongside them, good luck then. I hope you brought enough luck with you.

'''Alliance Ultimate Battle. '''Yeah AUB is now mostly for cashers only unfortunately. You have a choice to join it or ignore it.

omg this is long lol will forever be a free player and use strategies to optimize the resources available for a free player... patience is the key, especially for free players out there like me... and one year from now, multiple free HUR events might come around and hopefully you obtain them with the help of your comrades and current alliance ^_^
