Chain of Memories question

[XxharmlessXsinxX]

I'm starting to understand how the cards actually work and am now kickin heartless booty but my questions are:

What's an easy way to get back premium cards?
-I used a premium bonus on rooms and turn all my cards into premium cards but when i fight a boss and i have to recharge cards i only get the not premium ones so i have to charge 3 times for like only 2 attack cards

And do i have to use magic/enemy cards???
I hate using magic cards/enemy cards i never used them (except for cure/gravity) b/c I think they waste room in my deck/CP so is it really gonna make a diff. if i don't use it

Heres what my character stats are so far:
HP 235
CP 600
Level 34

Story Progress:
Every time i level up i learn a Sleight if i can then i just pick CP once then HP once till I can get a sleight again...idk if this is a good strategy
And I just beat Larxene and am used Atlantica (the first one i used after getting 4 world cards from beating her)

Well,

Premium cards wont be reloaded they are a one time use only and only come back if you use I want to say Elixir but you dont get that til late in the game. Having a deck of nothing but premiums is not the best idea.

You dont have to use spells are enemy cards but they can help later on in the game. Oggie Boggie and Vexen are 2 of the best enemy cards in the game along with Riku and Marluxia but those are later.

You cannot get premium cards back, unless you use a Megalixer.

And do i have to use magic/enemy cards???

Using Cure is the best migic to have, you dont need any magic or Enemy cards though, but it'd be wise to at least have a couple heals for when you fight maniacs like Riku, Vexen, and Marluxia.

Keep some heals, you will need them.

All the advice I can give you is have some 0s and some heals.

Re: CoM was great. Best one in the series, IMO.

 

[Malevolence]

By far the best in the series.... so far. I'm sure Days will be hella better although it's on the DS.

Are you serious? It's not a bad game, but best in the series?

Here's how I rate the games, from best to worst:
KH2- Reaction commands and drive forms were awesome, I loved the expanded storyline, no flaws in my opinion.

KH- it started the whole thing. It's a classic. Enough said

Re:CoM- I enjoyed seeing and hearing everything much better, but I personally hate the card system

CoM: I loved the storyline expansion, but I hated the cards and the gameboy limited the perception

While they're all good games, I just can't see CoM or it's remake as the best.

But I do think that Days is gonna rock.

 

[Vossler]

It wasn't bad they could have done better.

 

[Riku and Mickey]

KH:Re CoM was a pretty good game. Could it have been better? Yes, but it was still good enough for me.

Your views do not match those of many people. Most hate KH2, for reasons stated in a little thread called 'Greatest Disappointments of KH2'. You should read some of it.

Also, CoM and Re: CoM are next to KH1 in greatness because of the character development, storyliine, and battle system.

The battle system is different, but it makes you think, which I find to be wonderful. I like the button mash as much as the next person, but this way I had to think about what I was going to do, and they made it more challenging because of it.

KH2 pales in comparison to 1 and CoM.

As for the original poster. Premium cards are less CP, but because of that, you can only use them once. There are ways to get around this.

You can use elixirs and megalixirs in order to get them back. Elixirs give you all cards back, both attack and magic, and megalixirs does that and sets the reload count back to one.

There are also ways to use your premium cards wisely. Because they are only used once, you could put them at the beginning of a sleight and use them thus- they're going to go away any way. This way, you save non-premium, reloadable cards for something better than a sleight. You can also put premium cards in the middle and end of a sleight, and they will return to your deck once you reload. This keeps them another turn.

Magic cards can be very useful in some areas, especially when dealing with magic casters- such as Vexen and Axel. Nothing like a little Firaga to knock off a big chunk of Vexen's HP, and the same goes with Blizzaga for Axel.

Enemy cards are also useful. Jafar is very useful when dealing against Neoshadows, which you don't see till the last floor. Their cards are very high, so having an enemy card where your cards cannot be broken by theirs is very useful.

There's also the leaf bracer enemy card. This means that your cure cards will go through, even when broken by a 0 or a higher card- which, when fighting the harder bosses, becomes very useful. There's also an enemy card that lets you deal higher damage when giving damage to the back of the enemy- that's wonderfully useful against Vexen. You get those from the Fire Large Body things in Agrabah.

My favorite enemy cards, though, are Vexen and Oogie Boogie. Vexen is an auto-life, so he gives you a second chance to continue a battle even after having died once. Oogie Boogie is auto-regen. This means that he will cure you periodically for a certain amount of time. Kind of like Tinker Bell's summon card, only it can't be broken.

As for how you level up, I find the best way to go is to level up your CP two to three times more than you HP. This means that for every one HP level up, you level up your CP. If you're able to have better cards, and better strategies, the low HP doesn't matter. Of course, don't forget to level up your HP. Also, it's a good idea to get the sleights when they appear, though if you don't use sleights, there's no real point to it.

Re:CoM rocked, one of my favs[just behind KH1]

Getting your members and cards mixed up, Lifes.Lover?

 

[Lifes.Lover]

Ah, dang, I didn't even notice. It's been a while since I played the game, y'know?

 

[Orion]

Y'know? Yeah I do. Last time I played was good old CoM on the GBA some four or more years ago, was it?

 

[Lifes.Lover]

Yes, I sometimes say y'know. Don't compare me to Rai. Eh, I haven't even known about the series for that long.

 

[Orion]

Eh, I was about to compare you to him, but thought better of it. I just happened to spot it when I was going to buy a game to play for a month's holiday. I was planning to get TLoZ: Minnish Cap, but then they didn't have it, and I spotted this, and got it.

 

[Lifes.Lover]

Oh, I'm good! Better have thought twice about it.

Back when CoM came out, I didn't really know that video games existed. I'm behind, thus.

But this game is probably the best GBA game I've played, so I don't understand why people knock it. This and Metroid.

 

[KHNigratoe]

I love kh:re com!!! The only thing was that they didn't have any good graphics in the game. (unless i didn't pay attention, that seems to happen ocasinally with me)

 

[Orion]

Metroid Fusion? Heck yeah, that was another great.

 

[Lifes.Lover]

I had two games for Metroid on the GBA. Unfortunately, I lost the one that I liked the best. The other was a little too short.

And we're getting off topic.

 

[Orion]

Damned straight. Shall we move back, or has this question already been answered sufficiently?
