Card names for all starting 6 characters, levels 2-9, ahead. Not a spoiler according to subreddit rules, but just in case you don't want to see them.
This is a long time in the making: I took the guides in the Class Resources post that's stickied on this subreddit (just the starting classes) and created tables to show the recommend card to take at each level. I am hoping this will be useful for those who have already read the guides and just need to quickly reference the card choices. If this post is deemed worthy, maybe Gripeaway can add this post to the Class Resources guide. (?!)
Some notes and takeaways:
- For some levels, there is one card that is clearly better, whether it is really good or the other card is just plain bad. If you see consensus across the board, that is usually why.
- Sometimes, both cards at a level are SOOO close in strength/usefulness that it might not matter which one you take. Sometimes the recommendation is "either."
- Sometimes, both cards at a level are so bad, or both cards at a previous level are so good, that it is recommended to take a previous-level card instead of a card from the current level.
- A couple of guides (mostly on BGG) did not specify a card preference, so I excluded them from the tables.
- Obviously, but still worth pointing out, you can take characters in multiple directions, hence guides for different "builds" of the same character, and consequently different card recommendations.
Please let me know of any errors.
