Even the most powerful tactics have a counter.
I was elated when I realised how powerful this seemingly useless card really was, and devastated when an opponent’s Scorch card cleared them all from the board. With four on the board, each card is an eight point monster for a combined total of 32. One Infantry has one attack point, but add another and both have two. With Tight Bond, every duplicate card played doubles the attack value of its copies. Hours in, though, I realised how many I’d accumulated, and that they all had the Tight Bond perk. I’d initially dismissed it as being awful – a single point of attack power making it too weak to bother with. Take, for instance, the Poor Fucking Infantry card. Which faction they play, what abilities they have available – each person you meet has their own specific style. In this way, CD Projekt RED not only create a natural difficulty curve as you move through the game, but give each opponent their own personality. They’ll always play the best possible move, and so the challenge comes from the contents of their hand. Gwent’s AI opponents are extremely literate with ability cards and, if given the chance, will combo them to devastating effect. I hadn’t considered the possibility of combining ability cards in such a way. He plays it on his next turn, turning my own card against me and nullifying my advantage. My opponent counters by playing a Decoy – putting my Spy into his hand. In my first match using Sigismund, I play him on my opening turn. In return, two random cards from your collection are added to your hand. Spy cards are placed on your opponent’s side of the board, adding to their attack total. In defeating the Baron’s hand, I earn Sigismund Dijkstra – a Spy card with a relatively low attack value.
