Talk:Element Cluster

Is it even worth mentioning the Firaga/Blizzaga/Thundaga, Shotlock, or Ice Cream strategies? I can't see them being cheaper unless you're purposefully discarding Surges, and it seems like it would be much cheaper to simply purchase new Surges than to buy the necessary Ice Cream. The movement commands totally avoid the need for reloading, and in general a dash strategy will ensure scores far, far above what is necessary for the mini-game. Farming out healing and Ice to the Movement and Defense commands further simplifies the Command Deck to two elements (and that's for Terra -- for Ventus, you don't need the Command Deck at all, and Aqua can fill it with Thunder Surges), making it much more responsive to the cluster's elemental shifts. Basically, does anyone actually think it's difficult to acquire the Surges and Movement Commands, compared to relying on the more finicky command deck that was suggested by the article? I'm of the opinion that we should discard the previous strategy entirely. 18:07, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
