Gameplay Guide
The difficulty you choose will alter your starting health (15 for easy to 7 on extreme), and the amount of cards you start with when you choose the "pile" mode. Also cards will sell for less in shops and enemies will have more health.
Another difference is that on hard/extreme difficulty, enemies that use computer generated decks (using .json files) will instead use completely random decks that will have nothing to do with their original deck theme.
You will have multiple options as to how your starting pool of cards will look
-
Pile. This will give you a random pile of cards based on around the color you choose. The harder the difficulty you chose, the less cards you will get. When you use this option, it is recommended that you create a 40 card deck (minimum deck size) out of the 60 cards you get.
-
Chaos. This is an unique gameplay mode that completely randomizes the enemy decks and the deck you start with. This setting is not recommended for new players
-
Standard. With this start you will get three 20 card preconstructed jumpstart decks from the set you choose (or all of them).
-
Constucted. With this setting you start with a custom preconstructed deck based on a popular theme that's easy to expand during your run. (Recommended for new players). You starting color will determine which starter deck you will get
- Don't immediatly sell cards that are not useful in you current deck. Some cards can be very useful in certain boss fights, for instance, cards with " protection from red" are very strong against most red bosses.
- Make sure to travel to the biome capitals early in your run. Every capital contains a shop that sells 1 life and an item that allows you to teleport back to that capital. Also they sell items that can't be found elsewhere.
- Every boss gives you +1 starting life. So if you're having trouble with a certain boss, it might be better to try your hand with other bosses.
- Arena challenges in the capitals can be a good source of money, items and cards. Though you need a rather strong deck to consistently win there.
If you are playing on Insane and need some pointers, user KingNishi has wrote up a nice doc about it
