MARVEL SNAP – Beginners Tips

Tips for New Players

1. Play free.
2. Save your gold and tokens. You must understand resources, what lots have value as you save your gold, what ones do not. Its gacha, so they will entice you.
3. Save you caches and especially Keys, to 3-5 ahead. Do not rush up your collection tree. Match ups are based on three factors, rush up that line, you will pay. Bots easy low, harder high. Don’t spam emotes, or be shot.
4. Learn each card and what they can do.
5. Know the difference between archetypes and that they are not equal.
6. Deck recognition, as you learn the cards, recognize the deck your up against
7. 2 lane game, not three.
8. Know how to snap, when to snap, when to retreat, never force a game or play an archetype you sux at.
9. Conquest, you snap right away, winner take all, prolonged matches work against you.
10. Remember its all illusion, cosmetics, not real. Variants rock, but you will draw them as well, so don’t use your gold, when you can get it anyway in time.

The biggest tip is to treat it like a puzzle/game theory. Game is designed around you making your best course of action, which sometimes is retreating and just saccing less cubes – you’re not meant to win every game, some games by design are always against you. Game is purposely RNG heavy, both for variety but also for adaptation; learning to adapt to locations is pretty key.

Scarlet Witch is a pretty good early 2 drop tech card that I think is slept on too, or at least she was when I started playing.
