Build an Arena Deck Around Card Combos in Animation Throwdown: CCG

Build your Arena deck around character-and-item pairings: check which cards in your collection can form combos, then favor pairings that provide traits useful to your plan.

Check your character and item pairings

Before changing your deck, look at the combos your cards can form. A character card and an item card may create a combo with traits such as Heal, Shield, or Bomb. Consider whether those traits suit the way you want the deck to play.

When choosing between cards, compare their combo options—not just their individual stats. A card with several useful pairings gives you more options to consider, but the supplied information does not establish that it will outperform a card with fewer pairings.

Tune the deck based on what you can pair

Review the cards you have and make sure your deck includes item cards that can pair with your chosen characters. If you find cards that rarely contribute to a pairing, reconsider whether they fit the deck you are building.

The draft also suggests considering Pierce or Gas when addressing defensive buffs. Use those traits only if your available cards provide them and they match the problem you are trying to address; the supplied information does not establish which cards have those traits or how effective they are against specific opponents.
