Strategy Guide

Сrеdit gоеs to Game Familiar!

Introduction

I wrote this guide to help newer players get a starting strategy that is both consistent and simple to follow. I’m valuing simplicity over optimal play:

• You can try to improve it by leaning into the overall strategy.
• You could also use the knowledge from the runs to adapt it by changing approaches, by being more damage focused or leaning more into heavy deck cycling, etc.
• I’m not claiming this to be the best or only way to go, or that you’ll find it fun to play. The only claim is that it works.

I will include an initial video of a full Curse 1 run using it, there might be more later, although most likely will be Curse 10, with the thinking that if it works there it works at lower curses.

Deckbuilding Strategy

• If it mitigates Damage click on it.
• If it deals Damage and Mitigates click on it more.
• Upgrade at every regroup until last regroup in Floor 2.
• If you hit all attacks prefer pulse and control effects over pure damage.
  • Prefer non base card upgrades, you will likely hit some basics anyway.
  • Prefer W – Parry upgrades over strikes.
  • W – Strikes if you hit an only strikes hand.
• 4 – At scavenges prefer upgrades until you hit floor 2, then switch to removal and companionship level up.
• 5 – When removing cards prefer strikes over parries
• 6 – For AQ priorities go: Sustain > Damage Mitigation > Damage | Draw > Other effects
• 7 – Boss AQ reward: pulse over anything.

Consider

• Retribution as Damage
• Weakness as Guard
• Card Removal as Draw
• Charge Change, Knockback as Control Effects

Battle Tactics

• Do not skip any elite.
• When selecting starting tactics prefer pulse/block over draw.
• In fights with reinforcements do not kill multiple enemies in the same turn.
• Treat counter as two potential free turns
  • The turn to counter is free because of mitigating the hit.
  • The turn after is free because of the resources.
  • Try to hold onto the counter if you already block for enough and save it to account for bad draw turns.
  • Playing zeal cards helps delay the counter.
• Identify if the fight has a kill order and follow it, to be expanded on run videos.
