    Gwent is the new in-game deck building card game in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. With over 150 collectable cards, you can explore the world of The Witcher 3 and challenge NPCs to a round or two of Gwent, even betting in-game currency on the outcome.
    The basics of Gwent are simple, but they leave a lot of room for complex strategy. At the beginning of ever game of gwent, the game automatically draws ten cards from each players custom deck. For the most part, these ten cards are the only ten cards you'll have for EVERY round of the game.
    Your hand will usually consist of combatant cards (close combat, ranged, or siege), weather cards, and in some instances, special cards. A flip of the coin will determine who goes first.
    Starting with the first player, the two players will take turns putting cards down on the battlefield. Each combatant card will have a power value assigned to it. Weather cards will effect the power levels of each type of combatant (frost will hurt close combat, fog will hurt ranged, and rain will hurt siege. Clear weather cards remove these status effects.)
    Once one of the players chooses to pass (or runs out of cards), the other player will get to place cards until they to decide to pass. After both sides have passed, the side with the higher power value wins the round.
    The winner of the game is the first to two round wins. Again, the important factor here is that the initial 10 cards you draw will for the most part be all that you have to play with, so it's vital to NOT play all 10 of your cards in round one, or else you'll be left with nothing to fight round two with.
    It essentially turns a game of luck into a tricky game of risk vs. reward. In some cases it will actually be beneficial to surrender a round and let the opponent win, in order to save good cards for your new round.

      @chief wiggums My OCD made the first part of the game unbearably hard just because I was buying cards I didn't have instead op maintaining and upgrading my gear. I ended up starting a playthrough on my PC when the game came on sale later on and ignored Gwent entirely out of bitterness towards it. It was like playing on easy-mode. I got done Wite Orchard in about 1/3 the playtime.

      Remember to play your spies on rounds you plan on losing. Get a card advantage without increasing opponent numbers

  • @1077derek
    @1077derek 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1487

    A few pointers to note: 1. Spy is op, do whatever you can to use your spy cards. When your opponents uses spy, decoy it. When you have a medic and your opponent uses a spy card, save your medic for the spy revive next round.
    When you know you will lose the round, spam all the spy cards and boost their points, since you are not going to win anyway. When you have weather cards and spy cards, (ie close combat spy + biting frost) use your spy cards and hold the weather card till the very end - when they pass, use your weather card to surprise them. When your opponent has passed and you have way more points than your opponent, if you have spy cards use them as well.
    2. In Gwent, every move is important and legitimate. If you are going to lose that round, try to, as much as possible, waste your opponents cards (ie maybe use your leader card or decoy card to help you skip one turn but has minimal effect on your points). Stronger opponents however knows how to avoid your trap.
    3. Each faction has their strengths and weaknesses. For example, monster faction is known for spamming same type cards. Thats op as hell but weather cards counter it. Dealing with nifgaardian faction is not as straightforward. You need to outwit them with more cards using medics and spy cards. Generally they have more special cards that are invulnerable to weather cards so you have to use raw power to deal with it (ie having more cards).
    4. At critical stages of the game, you have to make assumptions in what card your opponents has. Depending on his faction, you can more or less guess the playstyle (through experience). In addition, there are often signs that your opponents has ran out of cards - using a random cards that does not provide optimal effect.
    Let's look at a scenario:
    You are in the second round of the game. Your opponent has won the first round. He has 2-3 cards left and he passes (ie let's you win) this means that at least 1 card is a non power card (weather card, decoy..). By keeping some strong power cards for the last round, you are likely to win the fight. Or if he uses a useless card on you, likely he has ran out of options and is waiting for you to waste your cards (see above point 2)
    There are a lot of tiny details in Gwent, such as the number of weather cards, the proportion of ranged, combat and siege cards and such. They can all affect how "lucky" your cards are, and keep your deck minimal and strong - so you have higher chances of getting good cards. And redraw, make full use of it, plan how you want to attack your opponent. If you have a torrential rain and many siege cards, redraw your torrential rain. Its unlikely that your opponent has more siege power than you. Like wise if your leader can already summon a weather card, no point keeping the same weather card in your deck, unless you know your opponent is prone to use a certain type for attacking.
    This comment is insanely long, but I hope it helps anyone trying to defeat the stronger opponents. Have fun

    Dude, if you are going to forfeit a round, PLAY THE SPY CARD. You get two cards and you aren't going to give him points the next round.
    If you are going to lose a round, it doesn't matter if he beats you by 1 or 100. So give him the spy card so you can use the two cards in the next round without giving him points to close a round.
    There is sometimes I play 3 spy cards and don't put any value cards on the board and lose the round. But I usually kick ass the next two rounds.

      Even the AI will do this. Try passing the first round against an opponent playing Nilfgaard and you will likely find yourself slammed with so many spies that it forces you to win the round. The AI is more than happy to give you a round in exchange for a heap of cards to hammer you in the next two rounds.

      You do know that the Witcher isn't a AAA game right? An AAA game is a game with a very very big budget so a good game is expected. GTA5 is a AAA game and it had a budget of 265M, the Witcher 3 had a budget of 15M. Most of the reason is most likely because its made in Poland and not in the US or some other country that have a strong economy, the salaries simply cost less in Poland. However the Witcher 3 isn't actually a AAA game and it is an Indi game, it does deliver the AAA experience however.

      ***** No. AAA doesn't just refers to a game with big budget, that is the definition. AAA is a grading scale that is used by the game industry and it is denote games with the highest production values. If you actually had google it yourself you might have known that.

    Tip for beginners: at 9:15 it would’ve been worth it for him to play the spy before passing and forfeiting the round. Doing so would lure another card from the opponent. Moreover, the 5 points wouldn’t hurt u in the next round. The only caveat to this is if the opponent uses a decoy to steal your spy in response, but that is not super likely

    Thanks for this great tutorial

    Honestly it's such a relief to read the comments. I'm on my first ever playthrough of Witcher and I ignored Gwent for the longest time and finally realized that learning to play it can help me quite a bit. Haven't enjoyed playing it because I straight up suck at it. So this video definitely helps.

      Gwent in witcher 3 is easy to learn and easy to master. Just stick to spam spies, decoys and medics (revive spies) and you'll be fine against 95% of the gwent players in the game.

  • @Bloxeh
    @Bloxeh 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Spies are important troops to generate cards. In combination with well placed decoy- and revive-cards they can be even more helpful. As someone else said, try to play spies at the start of the game. If the enemy plays a spy on you, if you have, play a decoy and replay it. If not, you'll have a discarded spy in the next round you might want to revive.

  • @Andeey1708

    Top 10 cards in base game( no DLCs):
    1. Avallac'h (Neutral) - Power: 0 Ability: Spy
    2. Geralt of Rivia / Cirilla (Neutral) - Power:15
    3. Villentrenmech (Neutral) - Power: 7 Ability: Scorch Close
    4. Menno Coehoorn (Nilfgaard) - Power: 10 Ability: Heal
    5. Yennefer (Neutral) - Power: 7 Ability: Heal
    6. Kayran (Monsters) - Power: 8 Ability: Agile, Morale Boost
    7. Vampires: Fleder, Ekimmara, Bruxa, Garkain, Katakan (Monsters) - Power: 4,4,4,4,5 Ability: Muster
    8. Arachas X3/Arachas Behemoth (Monsters) - Power: 4,6 Ability: Muster
    9. Crones: Brewess, Whispess, Weavess (Monsters) - Power: 6,6,6 Ability: Muster
    10. Northern Realms Spies: Thaler, Dijkstra, Prince Stennis - Power: 1,4,5 Ability: Spy
    Note: Cards 1,2,4,5,6 are Hero cards
    Honorable Mentions: All 10 power Hero Cards, All Leader Cards, Decoys, Milva, Commander's Horn, Scorch cards, Weather cards, Catapults, Dandelion
    (Nilfgaard spies suck compared to Northern Realms spies and the Scoia'tael deck in general is weak)
    PS: The best card that deserves the 0 position is Poor Fucking Infantry

      The muster cards are not worth a shit tbh. Yeah they get insane much points, but often uses all your cards in the process unless you were lucky to only have one of the cards in your hand. I say the best cards in the game are Spy cards, decoy cards, medic cards, Villentrenmech and some high power hero cards.
      My opinion on the best decks. Northern=Nilfgaard>Skellige>Scoia'tael>Monster

    The best thing you can do is to keep the number of card high, that way you always have an advantage. So is better to use the spy cards in the first round. You might lose that round but you'll have the advantage the nex round.

    Once i start winning, I went to every town with shopkeepers to challenge them and they in return, give me cards...This game is super fun...like a card game of chess

      I agree, in my first playthrough I lost all the time and just ignored the game completely. That changed in NG+, I mastered the basics and learned the strengths and weaknesses of each. I got all the hero/neutral cards for all the decks, I'm just missing a few unit cards and the Kayran for the monster deck. The one card that I totally missed was the Dandelion card. I play more Gwent than the actual game.

I skipped playing Gwent, but figuring I'd been missing something, I figured I'd check it out. After watching several vids, I found THIS one to be the most useful. Really, really good job, Rob! Thanks so much.
