Deck Archetypes

🧪

Poison Build

tier: S

A ramping damage deck that starts slow but scales exponentially as Poison stacks accumulate each turn.

  • Apply Poison early and focus on survival — once stacks are high enough enemies die without direct attacks.
  • Noxious Fumes is the backbone of the build, applying Poison every turn for free.
  • Accelerant multiplies Poison exponentially — find it once a baseline stack is established.
  • Watch out for enemies with Artifact; it blocks Poison application entirely.

A fast-cycling deck using the Sly keyword to play powerful cards for free while generating Energy through discard synergies.

  • Keep the deck thin — relentless cycling is the engine; a bloated deck breaks the flow.
  • Tactician and Reflex are the core payoffs: discard them to gain Energy or draw cards for free.
  • Calculated Gamble redraws your entire hand at 0 cost — use it to dig for key cards on pivotal turns.
  • Combine with Poison synergies for a damage scaling layer beyond pure cycling.

Shiv Build

tier: A

Generate, buff, and use as many Shiv cards as possible for explosive burst damage.

  • Accuracy is the core damage multiplier — each copy adds +4 to every Shiv; stack them as early as possible.
  • Knife Trap is the ultimate finisher: set it up then unleash 15-20 Shivs in one turn for massive damage.
  • Infinite Blades and Blade Dance guarantee Shiv generation every turn without consuming deck slots.
  • Keep the deck lean — too many non-Shiv cards slow down cycling and delay your key plays.

Generate free attacks each turn with powers like Infinite Blades and Phantom Blades.

  • Infinite Blades puts a free Shiv in your hand at the start of each turn — consistent free damage without deck space.
  • Afterimage stacks Block on every card played, making it excellent defensive value in a high-volume deck.
  • Pairs well with Accuracy if you pivot toward more Shiv generation.
