If you have a small deck or you have Headbutt (Deal 9 damage, place a card from your discard pile on top of your draw pile), then you probably want to add rampage to your deck. This card is great at defense since it gives you a decent amount of block at a cheap price and it also allows you to draw 1 card. After you’ve played it, you can stall the game and then one-shot your opponent. Whirlwind is great since it does amazing damage to ALL enemies, and it works great when boosting strength and energy.ĭemon Form is rare to find, but once you have it in your deck it becomes a win condition for your run. When going an attack I have found that these cards work really well. In general since you will probably spend most of your early runs as The Ironclad (the first character), you will be going an attack build. Well it all depends on what kind of build you are going. Regular enemies should only really be faced if they are in your path. So due to the unknown nature of these events, they shouldn’t be highly prioritized.Įnemy: This should obviously be the least of your priority. Unknown: This may end up being really good, but it may also be a really hard fight that won’t benefit you at all. Treasure: You’d think this would be higher up on the list but honestly since you don’t really know what you’ll get, it’s not that good. Most relics will have a insanely good effect. As a rule of thumb, have at least 75 gold before visiting merchant.Įlites: If you feel confident enough with your deck, try and challenges as many elites as you can for them sweet sweet relics.

Remember that merchants will always have one card on sale. You can also purchase relics and potions to boost your run.

Merchant: This is a good way to specialize your deck either by removing cards or buying new cards.

This depends on what you are after, but in general you’d want to prioritize in this order:Ĭampfire: This is since you can upgrade your cards and if you need it you can rest to get back 30% of your health. These will be accessible in all future runs. These can include stuff like “Lose all gold, gain a random relic” or “Remove a card from your deck”.Ĭharacter unlocks: When you finish a run (doesn’t matter if you win or lose), ater a certain amount of points earned for your character you will unlock new relics and cards. Start game bonus: If you’ve encountered the first boss in the previous run, you will be offered a list of bonuses before starting a new run. So no need to conserve your health if you’re sure you can win the fight. After killing a boss and moving on to the next level, your health will be filled.

You are healed to full health after the boss: You may notice this fairly quickly but it’s still good to know. While elites may be hard to defeat, the reward is almost always worth it due to them guaranteeing a random relic.Ĭards can only be upgraded once: When upgrading cards at campfires, remember that unless specified otherwise, cards may only be upgraded once. You can remove curse cards: Curse cards that sits in your deck can be removed when using “Remove card from deck”.Įlites ALWAYS drops relics: You should remember this one when planning your paths. Each merchant sells a couple of relics (most of them are pretty expensive), but it may boost your run insanely much, so be on a lookout.

You can buy relics at the merchant: This one may be pretty obvious for some people, but it may be easy to miss. And also, the smaller the deck, the more consistency in each turn of combat. You’d rather want a small deck with good cards that synergize with each other, rather than having a big deck with amazing cards that doesn’t synergizes. When you get to pick between 3 cards and you feel that none of them fit your deck, then don’t pick them. Most successful runs are because you have a solid and consistent deck. The most important things is to skip cards. Do not feel like you have to pick everything up. This can include gold, relics, cards and potions. You don’t have to pick up loot: After you’ve defeated an enemy you are rewarded with loot.
