Whether you prefer brute force, tactical disruption, or intricate combos, this guide will help you choose and understand every faction. For a ranking of the best decks, see our GWENT deck tier list.
Let's dive in!
Northern Realms: Powerhouse Boosting and Defenses
- Strengths: High synergy, powerful unit boosts, strong defensive capabilities.
- Weaknesses: Vulnerable to disruption of key units; requires strategic setup.
- Playstyle: Board control, unit boosting, and strong frontline formations.
Syndicate: The Coin-Driven Masters
Syndicate stands apart, utilizing a coin-based system to power its abilities. Many cards generate coins, which are then spent on potent effects. Efficient coin management is paramount.
Unlike factions reliant on unit boosts or control, Syndicate demands a different approach. Some strategies hoard coins for a decisive late-game push, while others employ aggressive spending throughout the match. This unique system presents a learning curve, but mastering it yields significant rewards.
