today I managed to get two separate golden Salty Looters to have 270/230 and 250/218 and two Golden Dread Admirals with both having +80/80 stats and two Golden Captain Hogg’rs with +100/50; basically found two Captain Hogg’rs as Reno, took both and turned one into golden so every time I took a pirate I’d get 3 mana back (6 mana with freedealing gambler).
Problem with the mana refresh and reselling is timer which is solved by playing on mobile and closing the app at 15 seconds and rejoining to skip the animation so you have 110 to 100 seconds to find pirates. So I ended up getting two golden captain hogg’rs (4 coin every time you pick a pirate), got around 20-43 pirates per turn with maybe 1-3 triggered Southsea Strongarms and all the golden pirates let me have 17 tier upgrades (where I took all the Goldrinns [so 2 slots in hand that were occupied] to prevent macaw combo) and the final slot was I just added an unstable ghoul to deal with the two divine shielded poison amalgams my last opponent ran and I had an empty slot needed to buff my 6 pirates.
So probably a total of 1700+ stats on a single board. Also is it against the rules if you skip the battle animation?
