Vortex Gaming

· The first thing you should upgrade in the early game is 'Greed'. More gold leads to more item purchases, which is essential for completing a powerful build in the late game.
· 'Reroll', 'Skip', and 'Banish' functions are also important. They are used to re-roll cards or remove unwanted cards to build your desired build.
· Securing additional crawler slots should be a priority, as it allows you to utilize powerful combos from the early game.
· Increases in 'Might' and 'Mana' contribute to continuous damage increases and, along with 'Greed' upgrades, accelerate leveling, aiding faster growth.
· For an early game recommended character, 'Imelda' is a good choice. She gains an experience boost every time she uses a yellow card, allowing for quick leveling.
· 'Pugnala Provolone', considered the best character, has a powerful starting deck composed of 0, 1, 2, and 3 cost cards, making it easy to execute infinite combos from the start. In particular, her ability to draw additional cards every time a yellow card is used maximizes deck cycling.

· 'Pugnala' has excellent deck cycling thanks to her ability to draw extra cards when using yellow cards, which allows her to exert powerful control even in boss fights. For example, she can neutralize a boss's powerful attack pattern with the 'Freeze' card.
· 'Yasha Cavallo' synergizes well with 'Pugnala' as his 'Pistol' damage increases every time a yellow card is used.
· 'Crochi' significantly increases survivability by gaining extra revives every time a wild card is used.
· 'Pasqualina' adds cards to her hand when using purple cards, aiding deck cycling, and 'Christina' has the ability to disrupt enemy attacks when using purple cards.

· 'Area' deals area-of-effect damage, and 'Armor' reduces incoming damage.
· 'Mana' increases improve card usage capabilities, while 'Curse' increases enemy strength but also boosts experience gain.

· 'Always Be Comboing' is the core of this game. It's important to start with 0-cost cards to secure mana, and then link 1, 2, and 3-cost cards to maintain the combo.
· 'Minus cost' cards (e.g., -1, -2) restore mana, allowing for longer combo chains, so it's recommended to use them actively.

· 'Destroy' cards help remove unnecessary cards from your deck, allowing you to draw desired cards more effectively.
· 'Duplicator' cards can create powerful synergies by duplicating the effects of other cards.
· 'Spinach' cards significantly increase attack power, boosting combat efficiency.
· Maintaining an appropriate ratio of 0, 1, 2, and 3-cost cards, and acquiring as many 'Wild Cards' as possible are key to stable combo play.

· Gems can grant special effects to cards, leading to advantageous battles. The 'Freeze' gem, in particular, is very useful for neutralizing a boss's powerful attacks.
· The 'Mana Cost Reduction' gem reduces card usage costs, making combos smoother. It can be particularly effective when applied to 'Empty Tome'.
· The 'Rainbow' gem has a powerful effect that activates all card effects.
· The 'Damage Increase' gem significantly boosts attack power, helping to quickly eliminate enemies.
· 'Duplicator' cards can create powerful synergies by duplicating the effects of other cards. Combining it with 'Spellbinder' can further enhance mana supply and combo chaining.
· 'Coin Count' cards help acquire a lot of coins, leading to the completion of powerful builds. They are especially effective in boss fights.

· Breaking the small dots marked on the map can yield useful items like 'Wild Cards' or 'Chicken'. The 'Chicken' is a health recovery item, so it's best to save it for emergencies.
· Discovering 'Chests' provides additional rewards, making thorough map exploration important.
· Acquiring multiple 'Minus Cost' cards can reduce the mana burden required to start combos. However, be cautious as too many minus cost cards can actually hinder deck cycling.
· 'Empty Tome' is a key card that provides mana and reduces costs, aiding combo chaining. It's good to acquire multiple to stabilize mana supply.
· 'Friendship Amulet' synergizes very powerfully when used with 'Clock Lancet'.

· To defeat the final boss, the 'Red Reaper', the 'Decimate' card and 'Coin Count' card are essential. Acquiring tens of thousands or even millions of coins allows for immense damage output.
· It's crucial to use the 'Freeze' card to neutralize the boss's attacks before its fifth eye attacks. This significantly increases survivability during the boss fight.
· Combining 'Pugnala's powerful yellow card deck cycling ability with 'Clock Lancet' allows you to maintain an almost infinite combo and tackle the boss.
· The 'Decimate' card reduces the boss's maximum HP by 10%, so it should be used consistently to chip away at the boss's health.
· 'Coin Count' cards synergize well with builds that deal massive damage using a lot of coins.
· Utilizing the 'Clock Lancet' gem allows for effective defense against the boss's attacks while maintaining combos.
