Cards FAQ
Questions & Guide

Cards are obtained at the Mud Witch in the Swamp.

• Cost: 150 Moola per roll
• Selection: Choose 1 card from 3 random options
• Max Cards: 3 cards per character

Budget 450-600 Moola total for your ideal 3-card setup:

• Minimum: 450 Moola (3 rolls, accept first decent card each time)
• Recommended: 600 Moola (4 rolls, allows 1 reroll for better options)
• Optimal: 750+ Moola (5+ rolls, selective about all 3 cards)

Each roll costs 150 Moola and shows 3 random cards. You pick 1 and the other 2 disappear.

Wait for at least one good card in your 3-card selection before committing:

1. First Card Slot: Be selective - aim for top-tier cards (Archer's Child, Free Runner, Quick Draw)
2. Second Card Slot: Accept good synergy cards that complement your first card
3. Third Card Slot: Can be more flexible - utility or situational cards

Yes, but you lose the card permanently.

You can remove a card to make room for a new one, but:

• The removed card is gone forever
• You don't get Moola refunded
• You must roll again (150 Moola) to get a replacement

Recommendation: Plan your 3-card build carefully to avoid wasting Moola on replacements.

24 cards are available. Coin Roller is disabled.

All cards appear to have equal drop rates.

Each roll gives you 3 random cards from the available pool (24 cards). There's no confirmed rarity system, though some players report seeing certain cards more frequently.

Optimal Bow Build:

• Archer's Child - 1.5x drawspeed, 2x firerate (essential)
• EXECUTIONER - Headshots >40 damage decapitate (synergy with bow)
• Free Runner - +20 stamina, slide ability (mobility)

This combination maximizes bow DPS while maintaining mobility for kiting.

Aggressive Gun Build:

• Desperado - More gun damage at low HP (high risk/reward)
• Quick Draw - Quickdraw state on weapon equip
• Poltergeist - Almost invisible during combat roll

Safe Gun Build:

• Quick Draw - Quickdraw state advantage
• Free Runner - +20 stamina, slide mobility
• EXECUTIONER - Headshot decapitation (works with guns)

Pure Melee Build:

• Boy With Fists - +20% melee damage (essential for melee)
• Show Me A Good Time - 0.45s parry frames on slash/equip
• Free Runner - +20 stamina, slide for gap closing

Yes, Free Runner is universally strong.

Benefits:

• +20 stamina increases combat endurance
• Slide replaces combat roll (faster, smoother)
• Works with any weapon type
• No downsides or trade-offs

If you're unsure what to pick for your third card slot, Free Runner is always a safe choice.

Not recommended due to conflicting specializations:

• Archer's Child only affects bows (wasted on gun builds)
• Desperado doesn't work with bows (wasted on bow builds)
• Quick Draw only affects primary weapons

Exception: Universal cards like Free Runner, EXECUTIONER, and Poltergeist work with both weapon types.

Only if you're experienced and understand the trade-offs:

• Desperado: Requires staying at low HP (risky in permadeath game)
• High Noon: -10 Max HP, only useful at noon (12:00 game time)
• Flesh Automaton: Explode on death (kamikaze strategy)
• Can't Lay Off the Tonic: Requires constant tonic consumption

Beginner recommendation: Stick to safe, consistent cards until you master the game mechanics.

Yes, cards and Stands work together.

Cards affect your character's base stats and weapon performance, while Stands provide separate abilities. There's no penalty for having both.

No, cards are not visible to other players.

You can only see your own cards. Other players' card effects are only noticeable through their gameplay (e.g., faster bow shots, slide instead of roll).

Yes, cards are permanent until you manually remove them.

Unlike items or weapons, cards stay with your character through death and respawn. They're part of your character's permanent build.

Unknown - effects are not officially documented.

Undocumented cards include:

• Secret Technique (shown as gif)
• Silver Prodigy
• STURDY
• Time Heals All Wounds
• Total Checkmate (RIGHT CLICK TO USE)
• Twenty Meter Radius Steel
• Veteran
• Winged Man

Risk: Using a card slot on an undocumented card means you might get a weak or situational effect. Test at your own risk.

Horseback combat specialization card:

• Your lasso auto-aims at other players while on horseback
• Deal 17% more gun damage while mounted

Best for: Players who prefer mounted combat. Pairs well with gun builds and horse-focused playstyles.

Explosive damage modifier:

• Your explosions hurt you for less (reduced self-damage)
• Your explosions do more damage to others

Best for: Dynamite arrow users and explosive-focused builds. Essential if you use explosives frequently.

Better approach:

• Decide your playstyle first (bow, gun, melee, hybrid)
• Research which cards synergize with your weapons
• Plan all 3 card slots before rolling
• Avoid mixing conflicting specializations

Mistake: Accepting the first 3 cards without checking quality.

Correct method:

• If all 3 options are undocumented or bad, reroll immediately
• Wait for at least one top-tier card before committing
• Budget extra Moola for rerolls (600+ instead of 450)
• Don't rush - card selection is permanent

Mistake: Not reading the -55% gun accuracy penalty.

Why it's bad:

• Boy With Fists is ONLY for pure melee builds
• -55% gun accuracy makes ranged combat nearly impossible
• The +20% melee damage doesn't compensate for lost gun effectiveness

Solution: Only take Boy With Fists if you're committed to sabre/melee-only gameplay.

Mistake: Going to Mud Witch with only 450 Moola.

Better approach:

• Farm 600-750 Moola before your first visit
• This allows 4-5 rolls for better card selection
• Prevents having to leave and farm more mid-selection
• Gives flexibility to reroll bad options

Mistake: Overlooking Free Runner because it seems "boring".

Why Free Runner is strong:

• +20 stamina benefits ALL playstyles
• Slide is superior to combat roll in most situations
• No downsides or trade-offs
• Works with bow, gun, melee, and Stand builds

If you're unsure about your third card slot, Free Runner is always a solid choice.
