Best Silent builds
All Silent builds →- SVenom CascadePile Poison onto every enemy with Noxious Fumes and Bouncing Flask, then bend the rules so each Poison stack hurts more and resets slower. The fight ends itself while you sit behind Block.
- AThousand CutsInfinite Blades and Fan of Knives flood your hand with 0-cost Shivs; Accuracy and Phantom Blades turn those throwaway daggers into real damage that scales with how many you can sling.
- ASleight of HandTools of the Trade and Calculated Gamble cycle your hand constantly while Tingsha and Tough Bandages turn every discard into damage and Block. Memento Mori cashes the whole turn in.
- BUntouchableWraith Form and the Ghost in a Jar reduce big hits to 1 damage while Footwork and Abrasive scale every Block card. You stall behind an unbreakable wall and chip the enemy down safely.
- ASerpent's TempoSerpent Form and Speedster turn raw card draw into automatic damage, while Adrenaline, Reflex and Expertise refill your hand for explosive multi-card turns capped by Finisher or Flechettes.
How to pilot
- Identify your win condition early—poison, shivs, or defense—then skip noise.
- Sly and Retain help bank mitigation for telegraphed elites.
- Pair poison payoffs with draw so you reapply statuses quickly.
