Hunters,
Tarot Cards are a new single-use Consumable introduced in Web of the Empress. There are 12 to be found in total, and each will give you a unique ability based on their traditional meaning. You can gain Tarot Cards by venturing into the Bileweaver Nests, as well as finding them in web covered locations around the maps. You can also earn them by collecting Dark Tribute rewards—2 Tarot Cards are earned at the first Dark Tribute stage, with 1 Tarot Card earned at each subsequent stage. And of course, you can always loot them off of dead enemy Hunters as long as you have a Consumable slot free.
What does each card represent for your past, present, and future? We’ve broken them down for you below.

THE GARDEN
A reading for your past:
A deep Corruption rotted the roots of your past ambitions, and you had to rip out what hurt you. This hurt you even more.
A reading for your present:
A root cut in winter stimulates growth in spring. This is a time of healing. However painful, dig deep and your growth will find nourishment.
A reading for your future:
A thriving root produces lush and verdant flowers. Put in the work and your endeavor will bloom.
What this grants in the game:
Fully heals and removes Poison, Bleeding, and Burning for you and your teammates.
THE JUDGEMENT
A reading for your past:
Like the bounty hunter Lilith, you have paid the fair price for past mistakes. Be thankful it has not ended in death. Yet.
A reading for your present:
You may have arrived at a crossroads and be forced to make a choice. Will you tread the path of the judges, or the path of fools?
A reading for your future:
Judgement comes for all and requires at least two parties. If you can’t find the conclusion you seek solo, then hunt together.
What this grants in the game:
Doubles time of all current buffs. Reduces your Hunter's HP to 1.
THE CHARIOT
A reading for your past:
You were prepared for a fight and emerged victorious. Let this feed your determination. Be careful not to let it feed your greed.
A reading for your present:
Others may try to block your path, but now is the time to be bold. Fighting to the last breath is an option, but so is finding a new way out.
A reading for your future:
There is travel ahead: a remote dirt road under a red sky. Pack well and move quickly, before anyone can catch up.
What this grants in the game:
Swaps locked and unlocked Extraction Points for all teams (only in Bounty Hunt). Destroys 1 Health Chunk.
THE DEVIL
A reading for your past:
You sought money, glory, and to escape an ordinary life. What you found was monstrosity, defamation, and despair.
A reading for your present:
As you grapple with your own Corruption, you must make a choice: Face what controls you, or become it.
A reading for your future:
Temptation rises before you. Reject the pull of the trigger and eschew the warmth of blood, or drink from the Devil’s cup and accept your fate.
What this grants in the game:
Reduces sway and spread for weapons (except shotguns) until your Hunter is downed, then destroys an additional Health Chunk.
THE EMPRESS
A reading for your past:
A mother spider creates thousands of children, knowing many are doomed to die. Some are bound to survive, just as you survived.
A reading for your present:
It’s tempting to charge into every fight and gorge yourself on power. But everything is poisonous in high enough doses. Chew slowly.
A reading for your future:
Once, the sight of The Empress meant good tidings. It still means abundance: countless children and eyes and legs, fine silk weaving you into the tightest cage.
What this grants in the game:
Catalyst, Necromancer, and one random Burn or Scarce Trait.
THE FOOL
A reading for your past:
Your latest endeavor began with a clear-eyed optimism, however naïve. Like Doc Redmartin, all you wanted was to make someone smile.
A reading for your present:
Your optimism sours as you become the punchline of your own joke. Not everyone has a good sense of humor. Keep yours, and keep fighting, or all will be lost.
A reading for your future:
Who’s smiling now? Embrace the chaos and stay your course. The joke’s on anyone who tries to stop you.
What this grants in the game:
Copies the last Tarot Card you used this Mission.
THE HANGED MAN
A reading for your past:
You have survived many trials and escaped many punishments. Each new gasp of freedom has shown you that guilt is bitter, and luck is too fickle to rely on forever.
A reading for your present:
You may feel imprisoned by your circumstances and seek a new perspective. This is your sign to try something new.
A reading for your future:
Nothing lasts forever—good luck or bad. Make good use of your next chance to rest. Close your eyes and pay close attention, for your luck is about to change.
What this grants in the game:
Allows you to spectate the nearest enemy Hunter for a limited time. They will hear a warning afterwards.
THE MAGICIAN
A reading for your past:
It can be easy to allow despair to dog your steps. Remember that even your losses can ultimately contribute to your success. Failure is a matter of perspective.
A reading for your present:
Allow your enemies to believe your ambitions lie elsewhere. The illusion will buy you more time to prepare. It is time to manifest your true intentions.
A reading for your future:
Smoke and mirrors will take you part of the way. The finale requires you reveal yourself to strike. Bold moves will be rewarded.
What this grants in the game:
Places a Dark Sight Decoy at your location. Causes Heavy Bleeding on use.
THE MOON
A reading for your past:
Moons wax and wane, tides ebb and flow, and drowned regrets may resurface to haunt you once more. If you did not bury your sorrows deep, they are likely to rise again.
A reading for your present:
As water recedes, past artifacts reappear. Use the moon’s dim glow to see what troubles prowl close, rising from where you thought you'd escaped them.
A reading for your future:
The moon is ever-changing, and each phase is equally her true self. Learn from her ritual to become a Hunter who is always ready, no matter how dark the night.
What this grants in the game:
2 seconds of Dark Sight Boost.
THE SUN
A reading for your past:
You used to laugh, before the world caught fire, and needed no miracle cure to prompt it. Does that part of you still smolder?
A reading for your present:
This card is a rare joy, untainted by price or consequence. Victory will come your way, and your actions will determine its form.
A reading for your future:
The bright light of good health lies in your future: full lungs sweetly burning, the crush of dead leaves underfoot, and then—there!—an unguarded carriage, ready to flee with your prize.
What this grants in the game:
Increased Regeneration for 60 secs.
THE TOWER
A reading for your past:
Your life changed abruptly, violently, collapsing in on itself like a ship dashed upon a lifeless, rocky shore. But the ending held a gift: a clear slate.
A reading for your present:
In the aftermath, there is space for something else. New towers are being constructed, but catastrophe sleeps inside them. Bring it all down.
A reading for your future:
Catastrophic upheaval awaits you, wreathed in smoke. It cannot be prevented, but if you match its violence, you may be able to survive.
What this grants in the game:
Kills AI or damages Targets within a radius (65m). Your Hunter catches on fire.
THE WORLD
A reading for your past:
It took some time and patience, but you’ve learned the tools of the trade and the weaknesses of your enemies. Just remember not to get too comfortable.
A reading for your present:
The world now lies in the shadow of the Empress’s web. Everything comes full circle, like a spider’s meal being bound in silk, endlessly turning.
A reading for your future:
You are very close to finishing something difficult: a quest, perhaps, or earning a name for yourself. When you have achieved it, pause to celebrate. Others will take notice.
What this grants in the game:
Reveals all Boss Targets.
Happy with your fortune, Hunter? Only time will tell…
