What Each Suit Means

SuitRoleHigh-Level Effect
DiamondsShieldFront-line defensive amplification.
HeartsShieldReduces overflow pressure into player LP in key paths.
ClubsWeaponPressures back-row defense when damage overflows.
SpadesWeaponIncreases direct LP threat once damage reaches player.

Practical Shield Play

  • Keep resilient cards in front where defensive effects matter most.
  • Protect columns that are likely to take repeated pressure.
  • Treat formation as a resource, not just card count.

Practical Weapon Play

  • Use Clubs and Spades to convert tempo into overflow value.
  • Attack columns where overflow can chain cleanly.
  • Force uncomfortable reinforcement decisions.
