How the hunter contributes

Tarot caster. Starlight and Tarot payoffs depend on the faces held in the current run.

Combat plan

Read the available Tarot faces first, generate Starlight, then spend cards during the face and timing window that supports the current room. Fate Swap protects the plan when the drawn orientation is wrong. A tighter route for dangerous rooms and bosses, pairing stronger payoff windows with a deliberate survival choice.

Co-op responsibility

Track Tarot faces and announce effects that change team decisions. Use Fate tools to stabilize the shared plan, not only to maximize your own short window.

Acquisition plan

Acquisition plan

01

Early run

Take immediate room control or damage first; do not reserve several slots for an endgame combination that cannot clear the next fight.

02

Mid run

Lock the defensive row and complete one elemental or weapon loop before adding another conditional multiplier.

03

Late run

Use the burst window on priority targets, but preserve a revive, dodge, or health answer for difficulty modifiers that interrupt skills.

Failure boundary and pivot

Failure boundary and pivot

Pivot as soon as the survival layer or main payoff cannot be completed without sacrificing current room clear. Pivot when the Tarot faces in the run do not support the planned pair. Build around the faces you actually hold and avoid counting conditional Tarot bonuses as permanent panel damage.
