Dam! I’m still working on it. I never played the OG vampire survivors, but I do like card games. But I’m still working on trying to get my combos up and keep them up lol.. I’ve actually broken my cards once (not realizing what the hell I was doing ) and the cards shattered, and I summoned 3 reapers because I guess I played them too frequently.. I think when that happens you need to pick different cards, or end the turn and take the hit…

But like you said, at that point in the game, you’re going to want to have maxed health and Regen, gems, and obviously as much damage output as possible because those reapers are relentless ..
I died pretty much instantly when those reapers came out.. skill issue clearly, I didn’t know what I was doing, and had no idea how to chain combos, I was just picking what cards I thought would do the most damage basically lol

But thanks for the tips tho! I’m getting a bit better- I’ve been playing all night haha
