Friend Challenge Nodes Trick
At some points of the game, maps will randomly place your friends into some challenge
nodes. The problem is, it will give you a hard time passing those nodes if you can't defeat your high leveled friend!
- It would be better or easier if you have more friends whose level is lower than you though.
- Sometimes, friends will still use the story mode decks, regardless of their level.
