Walkthrough
- 1Gold Cards Overview: These cards can be used once per level (unless modified by specific silver cards) and typically last thirty seconds (unless affected by time-extending cards). They are best utilized when facing difficult enemies or bosses.
- 2Endurance: Reduces incoming damage by half. Cost: 50. Rating: 2/5. Recommended to avoid if possible, as the goal is to take no damage. Useful for new players.
- 3Haste: Slows the game world down by 2x, making the player effectively faster. Cost: 100. Rating: 3/5. Very useful for reacting to enemy fire and managing hectic battles or bosses.
- 4Time Bonus: Extends the duration of Golden Cards by 10 seconds. Cost: 100. Rating: 2/5. A passive card that might be a waste of a slot unless paired with other cards that significantly benefit from the extension.
- 5Speed: Increases player movement speed. Cost: 100. Rating: 1/5. Not very effective and generally considered worthless.
- 6Fury: Doubles damage output. Cost: 200. Rating: 3/5. Useful for bosses and situations where enemies need to be eliminated quickly, saving ammo.
- 7Double Haste: Slows the game world down by 4x. Cost: 300. Rating: 3/5. Similar to Haste but with a greater effect, making players significantly faster than enemies.
- 8Dexterity: Doubles weapon reload speed. Cost: 300. Rating: 4/5. An excellent card that significantly improves combat efficiency, though it consumes ammo faster.
- 9Iron Will: Makes the player immune to all damage. Cost: 666. Rating: 5/5. The most powerful card, providing complete invulnerability. Essential for boss fights where Morphing is not possible. It also protects against environmental hazards.
- 10Rage: Quadruples damage output. Cost: 500. Rating: 3/5. Similar to Fury but with a much higher damage multiplier. Particularly useful in Trauma games where Morphing is disabled, allowing for rapid enemy elimination.
Tips
- Collect as much gold as possible during levels to afford these cards.
- If a card's location is too difficult to reach, skip it and use other acquired cards to return later for an easier attempt.
- The Haste and Double Haste cards make the player significantly faster than enemies, increasing firing rate and making bosses appear to move slowly.
- Iron Will is the ultimate defensive card, making players invincible to all forms of damage, including enemy attacks, explosions, and falls.
- Dexterity is highly recommended for its reload speed boost, though players should be mindful of increased ammo consumption.
- Fury and Rage are best saved for boss encounters or difficult combat scenarios where maximizing damage output is crucial.
