Plan your next Hadean Tactics session
Our independent guide breaks down Hadean Tactics’ systems so you can observe how each component influences runs. By noting patterns across Heroes, cards, units, relics and difficulty, you’ll develop clearer expectations without relying on undocumented tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hero Variant Impact
Run the same Hero with two different variants. Record which cards become more useful and how unit recruitment changes, then compare win rates to see variant influence.
- Compare a Hero’s base deck with a variant to see how card priorities shift.
- Use the custom Hero editor to test new skill‑alliance combos before a full run.
02 / THE GUIDE
Card‑Relic Pairing Log
Create a table matching frequently drawn cards with relics that boost them. Test each pair in short runs to identify consistently strong combinations.
- Track which cards appear most often on your chosen path.
- Group cards by effect type to spot natural synergies.

03 / THE GUIDE
Alliance Cohesion Test
Build a party using units from a single alliance. Observe whether shared alliances simplify card influence and affect battle outcomes compared to mixed alliances.
- Select units that share an alliance to simplify card influence.
- Experiment with contrasting alliances to discover unexpected interactions.
04 / THE GUIDE
Event Outcome Tracker
During several runs, note each random event’s effect on resources or combat. Over time, patterns emerge that help decide when to engage or avoid events.
- Read event descriptions before committing to a path.
- Pair relics with cards that share a common mechanic for stronger effects.
05 / THE GUIDE
Corruption Scaling Observation
Play identical decks at incremental Corruption levels. Record enemy health, damage and boss behavior to understand how difficulty scales and where your deck shines.
- Begin with lower Corruption to learn unit‑card dynamics.
- Increase Corruption gradually after mastering a deck.
