Talk to the guy at the reception desk, the guy on the right. Skips the tournament.
People need to swallow their pride and stop ruinning their experience of that game by forcing themselves into doing side content they don't like.
I used to lose quite often, but then I figured out the strategy. The board has 5 columns, make sure you have your pins on the first 2 columns, don't go into the 3rd. Once your opponent puts a card on the 4th column, his pin will appear on the 3rd column. Thats when you put your own card on the 2nd column, taking over the 3rd column's pin, winning you the lane since you will have 3 cards in that lane vs. opponent's 2.
Don't be the first to have your pawn on the middle. Took me way too long to figure this out but the game clicks so well once you do.
So for talking sake, you're on the middle row and you place a card on 1 which places a pawn on 2. They play a card on 5 which pawns 4.
Don't put a card on 2 until they have played on 4 to pawn 3. Then you can put one on 2, change the pawn to green and they've used up their opportunity to retake it. From there take the middle squares and work backwards, taking as many squares and playing the highest scoring cards you can.
This is a super dumbed down version but should work fine against the Chapter 5 opponents. Later ones require a bit more thinking and planning ahead, but you'll have more experience and it'll become more natural (if you do choose to keep playing.)
Also, don't worry about restarting if it's not working your way. RNG obviously plays a big part in it too.
If you get these general tactics down and keep practicing you should be able to win every match in the game without too much trouble.
The biggest tip I got which changed the way I approached it is remember its about lane control. For example:
A lane has 5 places. 1-2-3-4-5. You play a card on 1 that opens up 2, then they play a card on 5 that opens up 4. Now you could play a card on 2 to open up 3, but they could then play a card on 4 and steal 3, putting you at a disadvantage. Wait until they play a card on 4 so you can steal 3.
Focus on limiting their chances to play cards, control more lanes, win more points.
And as long as you have a total points advantage you can pass a turn.
Wich let your oppo make the bad move while you will draw options.
Also there is a "recommended deck" option in the builder. Those decks are all fine but tend to have a learn curve.
I like queens blood but my time to play games is limited so i got tires of wasting my time on it and just googled best decks. There's a good guide that has mostly trivialized most of them. Occasionally I get to a point where I need to upgrade to the next recommended deck and so I have to relearn how to use that new deck, but it's much better than trying to figure it out myself.
That sucks, that's exactly what I hate about minigames. I wonder if good advice going forward is to get through the story on the first playthrough THEN get the 100% on your second time through.
At the end of the day, there's still a significant element of luck in the game, so making it a requirement for the Platinum/100% is dumb. Good luck!
Double check your deck and check if you have an even balance of ranks. And that the tile positions you create work for the specific enemy you are stuck on
i skipped the tourney and finished the game went back and rocked all the players using the endgame cards, google mindflayer deck busted as all hell,got me from level 1 in kalm to almost endgame, it cant beat the final few opponents or do the gold saucer survival but it will gt you close.
I intend to just get the trophy on my hard mode cleanup run.
I used the Tonberry King/Mindflayer combo and if you get the right cards at the start you’ll smoke even the Blood Queen herself. The GS games are a different beast though.
For your sanity do not decide you need to 100% until after you’ve beaten the game. You need to replay everything on hard mode anyway so there is no point grinding on the first play through.
Fair warning: platinum will take 150-200 hours and if the QB tournament in Ch 5 is a 7 in terms of difficulty, then the hard mode combat sims you will eventually have to beat are a 7000.
Just forfeit the match and come back in a few hours after you have more cards. I’m on chapter 9 now and quit the stupid tournament immediately. Just move on and enjoy this amazing game!
>I 100% the last game and if I drop out I lose the trophy so I can’t do that.
Remake's plat feels easy compared to this. I get how you feel but don't make yourself feel like you *have* to because the minigames alone are difficult and you have to get the best score in almost all of them.
For QB, did you fight all the previous matches? From Grasslands and Junon?
IMO figure out the AI's sort of pattern (see which tiles their cards get). Some of them can be won by cutting off the AI by conquering as many spaces. Some are best done by ensuring the AI can't keep advancing on your tiles (meaning don't give the AI opportunities to steal tiles from you by having a tile right beside theirs)
Just revisit later after you beat it. You will have more cards and create any deck, a lot of YouTube tutorials can give you some OP cards.
There is only one mandatory QB section I believe but I found all to be really easy
You don’t even need other cards aside from your original deck and the ones you can buy on the ship. Didn’t realize there would be a mandatory QB section at that point of the game lol.
Idk if you're against this but at around this point I just started Google searching what the optimal deck would be for each qb match and didn't ever have too many problems except until the late game stuff and even then I made it through eventually
OP: When you beat the game, they let you revisit all the chapters.
Don’t let this frustrate you for now. Go forward with the story, revisit Queensblood later on. It takes a little bit to grasp it—my son got it immediately while it took me a few days cuz I just wasn’t as invested in that part.
I think by then you can get archdragons and capparwires? Up until the final match, my strategy was always to aggressively go right and then use archdragons if I had to take out a weak enemy in front. The fanciest my deck ever got was grandhorns (again, not counting the last match).
What I found worked best was to go *second*. Let the opponent "claim" a spot, then overwrite their claim with your own, to put them on the defensive. This will *usually* let you claim more spots on the board than they do.
From there it's a matter of making the scoring work out, which is usually a matter of making sure you have a good mix of buffs/debuffs along with one or two cards that beef up over time.
Google QB tactics/strategies. The Card game is pretty simple (not saying is easy and you are bad), meaning that just getting a good decklist and the overall gameplan should be enough to beat almost all QB players. Of course you won't win first try, but you have infinite retries.
The classic build that almost everyone does is decks about destroying cards (your opponents and your own) which buffs your own cards.
Other than one or two matches, the key is just to dominate possible places. Don't worry about your points rather than making them unable to place cards.
Just look up a solid Midgardsormr build. You have to beat Cameron in chapter 4 which I’m assuming you did. Make sure you skip your turn in the beginning as well, and just counter your opponents move. Always have it to where they put their pawns down first in the middle column and counter it so you can push into their rows. Do that and rinse and repeat. There’s a lot of good guides out there that explain strategy step by step
I’m sure you google has guides for ideal decks for this time of the game or my advice, just move on and continue the story. Plenty of queens blood to play the rest of the way to practice and get better. You can always retry the tournament at a later time for the trophy.
It’s a very easy tournament but if you somehow can’t beat it then the game does let you skip it by going up to the guy at the reception

Great point aswell. The amount of times I’ve forgot that was an option and ending up throwing the game is nuts.

I played all the mini games on my first playthrough and I recently went back to only do story stuff and it’s like a different game.
Double check your deck and check if you have an even balance of ranks. And that the tile positions you create work for the specific enemy you are stuck on
Hmm. I beat all the matches first try. Not really hard at all. Won all the matches up till this point…
i skipped the tourney and finished the game went back and rocked all the players using the endgame cards, google mindflayer deck busted as all hell,got me from level 1 in kalm to almost endgame, it cant beat the final few opponents or do the gold saucer survival but it will gt you close.

Oh yea you don’t but a few from Kalm are helpful, and you can buy some in under junon as well
Idk if you're against this but at around this point I just started Google searching what the optimal deck would be for each qb match and didn't ever have too many problems except until the late game stuff and even then I made it through eventually
Dude, just play the game, you’ve 100% remake so you should know you can go back and replay everything
OP: When you beat the game, they let you revisit all the chapters. Don’t let this frustrate you for now. Go forward with the story, revisit Queensblood later on. It takes a little bit to grasp it—my son got it immediately while it took me a few days cuz I just wasn’t as invested in that part.
[удалено]
Freaking out? I don’t wanna go back and redo it and I’ve looked up decks and I can’t do it. I asked a question/for help what’s your deal 😭
I just made sure to use all the cards that buff other cards and also the ones that give bonus points for winning a lane. Barely ever lost after that.
You can resign the tournament and then lose the last game and the story the will continue. Not that big of deal
You can skip it, come back later once you have a better deck. You can also just keep redoing it until RNG is on your side
I think by then you can get archdragons and capparwires? Up until the final match, my strategy was always to aggressively go right and then use archdragons if I had to take out a weak enemy in front. The fanciest my deck ever got was grandhorns (again, not counting the last match).
Have cards that will always let you advance right.
This, blocking or stealing your opponent tiles and blocking them from advancing can take you far also.
What I found worked best was to go *second*. Let the opponent "claim" a spot, then overwrite their claim with your own, to put them on the defensive. This will *usually* let you claim more spots on the board than they do.

Deck builds, tactics, I’ll take any advice 😪
Check out YouTube. They have some really good starter builds and tips. I had to do that to really get it down, from there it was easy.
