# Getting started
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Difficulty
|
|
|
|
The difficulty you choose will alter your starting health (15 for easy to 7 for 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.
|
|
|
|
## Starting cards
|
|
|
|
You will have multiple options as to how your starting pool of cards will look
|
|
|
|
1. __Pile__. This will give you a random pile of cards based on the color you choose. The harder the difficulty you choose, the fewer 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.
|
|
|
|
2. __Chaos__. This is a unique gameplay mode that completely randomizes the enemy decks and the deck you start with.
|
|
__This setting is not recommended for new players__
|
|
|
|
3. __Standard__. With this start, you will get three 20-card preconstructed jumpstart decks from the set you choose (or all of them).
|
|
|
|
4. __Constructed__. 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**). Your starting color will determine which starter deck you will get
|
|
|
|
## General hints and tips
|
|
|
|
1. Don't immediately sell cards that are not useful in your 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.
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
3. 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.
|
|
4. 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.
