If you still don't understand.
Make sure your cards have alot of arrows on them.
Then just put them anywhere and hope for the best.
You'll win more than you lose.


What's everyone's highest collecter name you've reached?
Mine is Shark.

I had a bomb card with 8 arrows and the number was 1M01

But I lost it :(

What's everyone's highest collecter name you've reached?
I've gotten past Shark, I think I'm 3 or 4 levels higher than that. Don't remember the name though, I'll check when I get home.
I have 99 card types, every one except Namingway (I always seem to miss that one), all with unique arrow sets, and around 10 cards with level X, and about 2 with level A.

I've never been good at Tetra Master. :( , i prefer the card game in ffviii.

You can find Namingway in Desert Palace.
So I've heard, but every time I tried to look for it I just accidentally set off the scene that follows.

When I first tried Triple Triad (I played VIII after IX), I hated it. Now though, even though I still like TM better, I've grown a liking for TT too. (I hate the Random and Plus rules though, and I dislike all of the trading rules except One)

That's the time when i usally get it. I think you can get it somewhere else as well, but i can't remember where.

You can? Cool. I'll remember that if I miss it the next time. If you can get it somewhere else, my first guess would of course be Rare Phantom, but I've played so many games with hm without seeing it, so I doubt that. Maybe there is another way to get it though, I dunno.

I would like to get it in the game I have saved now though, since that would probably give me the highest possible card rank.

i was reading that guide but that makes things sound more confusing! i was going to start collecting the cards but im not going to if im playing every game with blind luck :mad:

[Cid Vicious]

Try this one. (http://www.ffinsider.net/ff9/tetra.php)

M is good against P. P is good against..uhh...the other one. X I think. X is good against magic, whereas A kicks everyone's ass.

First number is attack. Letter is the type of attack. Third number is physical defence. Fourth number is magical defence.

So 1P10 would have it's ass handed to it by 1M10.

The strongest card possible is FAFF but don't worry about that lol.

I like to put a weak card with loads of arrows somewhere that it can hit loads of other cards, then, when surrounded by enemy cards, just take that weak card for myself and voila! A perfect game. But don't worry about strategy till you're as amazingly good as me. :D

[Rantz]

Try winning it from Mario in Treno.
I'll try that too, should the other two ways fail.

Oh, and I checked my rank now, it's Dominator. I'm pretty sure it's the next to highest rank.

[jjturtle12]

I think its Freak but it might be professor. based on whether i win or lose one card it chages. im only missing 4 cards!!! Is it possible to get the Namingway card in disc 4 if you missed it earlier?

[Chris]

I always scatter my way through it -- and I often win. It's not that hard when you've played it as many times as I have. :D

If the offensive card has a P as the second letter, it will attack the third number/letter of the defending card.
If the offensive card has an M as the second letter, it will attack the fourth number/letter of the defending card.
If the offensive card has an X as the second letter, it will attack either the third or fourth number/letter of the defending card, whichever is lowest.
If the offensive card has an A as the second letter, it will attack either the first, third or fourth number/letter of the defending card, whichever is lowest.


The strongest card possible is FAFF
In theory, yes. Unfortunately, no card can ever achieve those stats. Only Hades, Ultima Weapon and Excalibur II can have an F for attack, Mover has an F for physical defence and Ribbon has an F for magical defence.

I just think there should have been some rewards associated with the card game like VIII (card mod).

I have collected all of the cards before, but as far as leveling them all up, screw it...that could take forever.
