Your 5-Year-Draw All Max/4

This is the analysis geared towards players starting out ToS or returning players looking for a solid leader. The leaders listed on Page One and Two generally requires continuous playing for more than 6 months to be effective.

The guaranteed List
The following attribute + race will guarantee a card you want, even for beginners, since there are fewer than 5 available:
 * 1) Dark Human - 3. Notable Leader: Lu Bu.
 * 2) Fire Elf - 3. Notable Leader: Sakura.
 * 3) Earth Elf - 2. Notable Leader: (none)
 * 4) Light Elf - 3. Notable Leader: (none)
 * 5) Dark Elf - 5. Notable Leader: Rose.
 * 6) All Beasts - equal or less than 5 each. Notable Leaders: Aloha, Haza, (Dodo)
 * 7) All Dragons - equal or less than 5 each. Notable Leaders: Daoloth, Azathoth.

New Player analysis
The analyses below applies to players that are no longer starting ToS - if you are one, the below three guarantees are the most helpful without a solid deck. Their purpose is to climb the Enochian tower quickly:
 * Lu Bu : No introduction needed, the Top-tier Dark leader.
 * Azathoth : Incredibly strong dragon leader, useful even without Novalis in hand, due to strong multiplier. Eventually, getting Ursula and Novalis will immediately improve the dragon team to the next level.
 * Daoloth : Unique Light Dragon-Beast-Elf team, even without obtaining useful members, by virtue of strong multiplier.

A player can also pick a solid Beast leader if one does not mind grinding some more:
 * Haza : A bit slow but very steady if you want to use beasts.
 * Aloha : Incredible utility and a solid beast leader. (Dodo has the same leader skill, but Aloha's active is better)

The Elf Leaders (Rose, Sakura) are too advanced for newcomers' use unless you started at version 14.2 in which getting a rare Elf leader will be most effective.

Any VR series (such as Norse, Greek, Chinese God, Crimson Grace) are not very effective for newcomers since they require massive resources.

Returning Player analysis
One of the priorities for a returning player is getting a top-tier leader to get back into the game. The benefits are instant.


 * Cornflower - Water leader, Water Elf leader, a star Elf team member. Best water leader that is not a black diamond.
 * Ghroth - Demon leader (demon-beast-dragon), requires a good "Prologue of the Universe" deck to be effective. DO NOT choose this if you already own one just wanting to get the second one - it doesn't work that way.
 * Nobunaga - Fire leader, but with no good way of recovering and stalling in front of tough enemies. Best fire leader at the moment.
 * Amaterasu - Fire/God leader, special playstyle. Not suited for those not willing to invest resources on crafts and special members.
 * Ophiuchus - God leader (god-elf restriction) with built-in utility at solving boards and shields like nothing. See Page one analysis.
 * Izanagi - Earth leader, very stable. Best Earth leader at the moment.
 * Daoloth - Light leader (beast-dragon-elf). Best light leader that is not black diamond (competing with TSZ and Maya), utilizing Colin, Fenrir (Solar/Lunar Wolf combination), and Pluma. See Page one analysis.
 * Arthur - Light Human leader (light humans only), good after buffs. Imperial Warlords II can help it further. ONLY FOR players with comprehensive Light human deck (Yi Yeh Shu required).
 * Rose - Elf leader, leaning Dark. Excellent spinning skills required, but one of the strongest Elf leaders out there.
 * Lu Bu - Dark leader, great damage, so many good dark cards to choose as members. Best dark leader at the moment.
 * Tsukuyomi - Dark leader, used with ally Anubis (black diamond). The incredible dark gods can help out the team even further.


 * Azathoth - Dragon leader, Emperor of Dragon teams. Best dragon team at the moment that can clear stages at lightning speed. See Page one analysis.
 * Guan Yu - Water-Fire-Earth leader (Human-centered). One of the candidates of demolishing Arena.
 * Sakura - Elf leader, good versatility. A good elf team for those not looking forward to spinning skills requirements of using Rose.
 * Aloha : Beast leader. Great for players wanting to use Beast teams, and the active skill is very good.

For collectors
This is for players insisting on getting cards they want, while the strengths of the card matter a bit less. This is mainly for players who spent a lot of money trying to get every card available:


 * Daji : The hardest card to get, but with the mechanism, you are guaranteed to get one by choosing Dark Elf.
 * Rose : For those desiring to play a team with a lot of Roses.
 * Midgey......TBD
