Rival Stars Basketball – Tips, Tricks, Cheats, and Strategy Guide

Rival Stars Basketball is a new basketball card battling game for the iOS and Android. Unlike Big Win Basketball and other card battling games based on the sport, this one allows you quite a bit of say into the outcome of every match you play. Read on for some tips and tricks for Rival Stars Basketball!

Each match that you play takes energy, and once you run out of energy you normally will not be able to play again until you either buy more energy, or wait for it to come back. An easy way to get it back for free, though, is to set the time ahead on your phone or your tablet. Set it ahead by enough time to restore all of your energy that you’ve used, and then when you go back to the game it will be restored.

If you want to, you can then set the time back to normal. Once you do this, go back to the game, and all of that energy that you just restored will still be there. You can do this trick as many times as you want to without having to deal with a phone or tablet with an insanely inaccurate time on it.

During the match you will have offensive and defensive matchups. You will have to either pick a defender who can beat your opponent’s offensive choice, or a player whose offense beats your opponent’s defensive choice. You don’t know who your opposing team will pick, though, so make sure your team is well rounded and pick differently based on who your opponent has already previously picked against you.

Level up player cards using player cards that you don’t need and that you can sacrifice. Ideally, your rarest and best players should be the ones who are the beneficiaries of the level ups, and the players who are weak who you no longer need are the ones who should be sacrificed, as long as you don’t need them anymore for any other reason (which you shouldn’t considering there are no real teams or players in this game).

Evolve cards, too, in order to increase their rarity, or their star rating. The more the card has already been leveled up by enhancing, the better their statistics will be after evolution. After evolution their level will be back down to 1, making for some quick level ups, and therefore some quick stat boosts.
