01 / THE GUIDE

Class Comparison

Play two different classes back‑to‑back and note how their starter cards affect early encounters. Compare the pacing and see which style aligns with your preferences.

  • Try a few classes to see which card combos feel most natural to you.
  • Notice how each class’s starter cards influence early encounters.

Deck Pruning

During a run, be deliberate about which cards you add to your deck. Observe how a leaner deck changes combat flow and whether it improves consistency against varied monsters.

  • Balance offensive and defensive cards to handle varied monster encounters.
  • Choose added cards that complement your existing deck to keep it efficient.
