Lophis Roguelike Card RPG game beginner’s guide, tips, and, best cards

This card game features the most versatile cards which good balance in offensive and defense. If you play your cards right, you could easily kill even strong bosses.I will list the tips, tricks, beginners guide and strategies for Lophis Roguelike

1.Always use the stab card first, it costs 0 energy and needs to be used first. However, if your one of one enemies’ health is below or equal to 6, and you have more enemies left, its better to use secret kill to gain and additional card and continue your onslaught.
Also, if you have ‘power of giant’ card, and let’s say your enemy has 12 health you can use this card followed by Secret kill to double your damage and get same card back.

2.If you have your last enemy, and you have a choice between stab and secret kill then use ‘stab’ card instead of ‘secret’ kill to preserve energy for your next enemy. Gaining an extra card will not matter in this situation.

3.Always use First aid before you kill your last enemy. Its very important to restore as much health you can before you proceed further in your game. Otherwise your health will keep on dropping and it will be hard to recover.

4.When given a choice to select cards, always go for health upgrade cards since it will permanently give you advantage. It is more useful in the long term. But there are exceptions for cards like ‘Howitzer’ and ‘Crossfire’. These cards are the most important.

5.Cards which give equal damage to all enemies should be used first such as ‘Howitzer’ and ‘Crossfire’. This ensures they are are used at their highest potential since more number of enemies leads to higher damage count.

6.Always finish an enemy before you move to the next. This is the most fundamental guideline which should be used right away. This ensures that you take less damage after every turn, since it focuses all your damage on 1 enemy rather than spreading your damage equally towards everyone which leads to less enemies after every turn.If there is a main boss surrounded by other foes, kill the surrounding foes first because killing the main central boss will take a lot of time and till then you will be getting hit by the side foes. Also a card like ‘Thump’ which leads to 10-14 damage should not be used if enemy has health below 5. It’s always better to use ‘stab’ in these kind of situations.

7.’Secret Power’ should be used when all your cards are used since it adds +1 damage for every card used. But if you have more than 1 enemy and if an enemy has health below or equal to 6, then use ‘Secret Kill’ in such cases. Also, don’t forget to use ‘Power of Giant’ card before using ‘Secret Power’.

8.Check out every house along te way since some of them have free rewards. Never leave and always fight, it will give you coins which will later be useful to buy important cards from merchant.

9.You should not use cards like ‘Thor’s Hammer’ because it costs 4 energy or ‘Doom’ since it also will take away your heath. ‘Doom could be used at the final boss if his health is below 40.

10. Don’t use your trump cards when your enemy has activated a shield. Use cards like stab instead until he could no longer block. Shield should not be confused with armor though.
    When you encounter a treatment merchant, antidote is the best buy since poisoning is most common attack.

list of cards you should not buy or discard:
1.Javelin. This is given to you by the enemy. You can’t discard it but don’t use it either. However, if there are many enemies
left then it’s better to use it to free up space for newer cards.

6.’Life tap’: It takes away our health.
7.’Shot Training’: It just leads to 4 damage. It can be useful sometimes in combination in 6 damage cards since it adds +1
but most of the time its not. Thump or chop is a much better choice.
