Ride the Wave with the Ulu Watu
The Ulu Watu can be obtained in the Cool starter deck, but you'll soon find that they can use some upgrading. So, without further ado, may I present to you some of their better beginner cards:
I wouldn't attempt a full-deck with Ulu Watus...so neither should you ;)
However, if you want a half-deck of Ulu Watus, first get Taigo, a very affordable option who has the ever useful - attack ability. If his bonus goes through, too, you've also got yourself a solid wall.
For the second card, choose between Lin Bee and Kirk. To make that decision, see whether you're lacking an SOA in your other half-deck. If you are, get Lin Bee because it's good to have at least two SOAs in your deck (Ice Jim is another option for SOA in the Ulu Watu clan, and is quite interchangeable with Lin Bee). I've gone with Kirk because I find him to be underrated for what he brings to the table: solid stats for a 3-star along with a decent damage reduction ability.
Thirdly, target Lucia to get a 4-star with solid base stats and an okay Stop ability; she gives the half-deck some much-needed damage.
Finally, complete the deck with Nanook, a staple Ulu Watu card whose 8 power (10 if her bonus goes through) will win you many a round (not to mention she also digs the Geordi La Forge :D).
The proposed deck that I've just gone through has its weaknesses, most notably the fact that it lacks damage. Also, compared to the other clans with +/- 2 power as their bonus (All-Stars and Bangers), Ulu Watu offers a smaller selection of cards that are also somewhat under par. In any case, they're still a fun clan to play due to their very strong power, and a beginner might enjoy that (6.5/10).
Once you get more experienced, you'll find that Ulu Watu has a hard time competing in ELO, and only Nanook really earns her spot as an inexpensive card that can compete with more advanced players' cards (Taigo is also a decent 2-star filler later on). Furthermore, Ulu Watu sees most of its playing time in T2, where high-priced 5-star cards are required (3.5/10).
