Howdy, Friends!
Because we reckin' you know how to shoot (or, at least, we hope you do) no need to cover that here - but let's make sure you know how to play your cards right, shall we?
Ask Little Lars (our giant but gentle polar bear) and they'll tell you how important deck management is in Friends vs Friends. This is why you need to balance your deck and make sure you're getting the most out of your hand.
There are all sorts of cards to choose from. Give your opponent a Big Head to make it easier to headshot them. Use vampire bullets to steal enemy health. Put down a turret to help defend you. There's even a Nuke card so you can wipe the map. You'll start your battle with 6 cards, but that doesn't mean you'll know what hand your opponent is holding so you'll need to build a mix of offensive, defensive, and weapon cards to make sure you come out on top.
Cards have positive impacts on you and your prospects of victory, but there are also negatively affecting cards that can reduce your accuracy, change bullets into rubber, and even poison you. There are even some rare cards that can be complete game-changers if you have them in your deck, like a mimic card which actually gives you the same ability as your opponent. Using those cards combined with a teammate in 2v2, well that can just about turn around the tide of any battle.
Cards can be boosted by opening card packs (earned through playing matches - winning gets your extra bucks!) and getting that card's double. The more doubles you obtain, the more powerful that card will be! Cash Crumbs (our shopkeeper with a certain "charm") will definitely be pleased to help you part with your money (in-game, of course, no pay-to-win here!)
You don't have long to think about the cards you want to take into battle with you as Friends vs Friends launches on May 30th! Wishlist now so you don't miss it, friend-o.
