Learn general principles for building effective card decks in FragPunk, considering objectives, team, and map.

While specific Agent synergies are important, there are general principles to follow when building your card deck for any match:

General Card Building Principles
  • Understand the Objective: Is it a capture point, escort, or elimination match? Your card choices should reflect the objective. Defense-oriented cards for defense, aggressive cards for offense.
  • Team Composition: Look at your team's Agents. If you have multiple damage dealers, consider more support or utility cards. If you lack healing, prioritize healing cards if available.
  • Map Awareness: Some maps favor long-range engagements, others close quarters. Choose cards that enhance your effectiveness in the current map's environment.
  • Balance: Aim for a balance of offensive, defensive, and utility cards. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
  • Resource Management: Pay attention to card costs and cooldowns. Don't pick too many high-cost cards if you can't afford to use them frequently.
  • Experimentation: The card system is dynamic. Don't be afraid to try new combinations. What works for one player might not work for another. Learn from your successes and failures.
  • Counter-Picking: If you know the enemy team's composition, try to pick cards that counter their strengths (e.g., 'Anti-Shield' cards against a Titan).

Mastering card building is an ongoing process that evolves with your understanding of the game and its meta.
