🧠 Strategy & Tips
Regent's premier engine card - converts every card play into 1 Star [S]. With the v0.106.0 upgrade change (Innate to -1 Energy), it becomes 0-cost, making it completely free to deploy. Stars fuel Forge effects, Sovereign Blade scaling, and Genesis synergy. Play it immediately upon drawing - every turn without it is lost Star generation. Once active, draft cards that spend Stars efficiently: Sovereign Blade (main weapon), Forge cards (Bulwark, Refine Blade), Black Hole (damage per Star spent). Card draw becomes premium since more cards = more Stars. Cheap cards (0-1 cost) are especially valuable for Star generation per energy spent.
🎯 When to Pick
Almost always pick this card. It defines or enables a top-tier archetype and provides massive value in nearly every deck.
As a Power card, it provides permanent value for the rest of combat. Prioritize playing it early in fights.
One-cost cards are the backbone of most decks. They are easy to fit into any turn without straining your Energy budget.
🤝 Synergies
Regent builds around Vows and channeling. Cards that interact with Vow stacks, or provide multi-turn payoffs, work well with Regent's playstyle.
Power cards scale permanently. Take relics that reduce setup time (like Bottles or innate effects) to play Powers before taking damage.
