Players get a fair 6 turns where they can go up for their game and win the round. In this deck building guide, we discuss more of the unique decks, cards, and locations that play the major and significant role in Marvel Snap.
Understanding the Card Algorithm
Marvel Snap is a card based game and therefore cards play a very important role in the game. The game represents Marvel heroes in the form of cards and these cards are assigned with some unique powers and abilities that will help players as they play them from their deck.
Any player can do 4 decks of their choice each deck has 12 cards which are shuffled during each game and then players can use them. The cards also have costs, such as rounds 1 to 6, as players receive the same amount of points for the round number.
The players must play the cards in one of three positions. The points received by the players are mainly used to play the cards. The cards also come out with some rankings, which are followed as:
- Base
- Rare
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
- Ultra
- Infinite
Cards are upgraded to the next level with the help of credit tokens and hero packs. Each hero has unique boosters that can only be used for that particular hero card. With each update, the cards suffer a frame break and also form a unique look for each level.
Importance of the different locations
Marvel Snap has a feature where in a match, players have three positions with unique abilities. Players must play their cards in these three positions and must collect the most points in at least two of the three positions. This is the only way that players can achieve victory. Even if the players get a tie, the game calculates the highest points a player has collected, and then that player claims the win.
Each place has unique characteristics and abilities. Some of them have immense advantages for the players, but others simply go against them. Each player must read the abilities of each location and then play their cards wisely. Here are the positions and along with their skills:
