Judging from your cq deck, you're a cash player, how many free players that can beat your attack or defense? You're doing things wrong if a free player can beat your deck unless you have no skill activations. Do you run a pure deck or mixed deck? A mixed deck would always lose to a pure deck assuming number of activations are the same, with only a few exceptions.

For cards in general, skill level is extremely important. Consider Ninomiya Sontoku attacking Onimaru. Ninomiya has a 12.75% chance of winning. A skill level 16 Ninomiya has an 85% chance of winning, and that only for 1 extra skill level. A team with 2~3 skill level ups per deamon has a significantly greater chance of winning. The only exception to this are deamon's with a massively boost, where the percentage at skill level 15 is still greater than a greatly boost at skill level 20, but even then you would lose to other deamons with a massive boost + skill level ups.

'Why the hell as a free player  you would complain   '  I never said I was a free player.

'In fact you should be grateful you can get a 5 stars from just online daily.'  Yeah I'm grateful that I get trade silver apples for gold apples.

My point about silver apple 5* is that it sucks. Free players still won't be able to beat cash players.
