Choices matter

After every wave you can select between three cards that can be new weapons, passive items or upgrades to your existing arsenal. Most cards directly influence future selections as the available card pool expands or shrinks into various directions.



E.g.selecting a Weapon Upgrade card will introduce additional duplicate weapons to the current run, enabling a level of control to your future selections. Don't be shy to ReRoll offers every now and then as you have plenty of opportunities to refill your ReRolls over time.
