Best Tarot Cards in Cult of the Lamb

Keep an eye out for these five cards when collecting Tarot Cards during crusades. While the best cards depend on your playing strategy, these cards will come in handy no matter what approach you decide.

• The Arachnid

The Arachnid card gives poison damage to enemies when they are hit. This differs from poison weapons as the Arachnid's poison works on all enemies once the player has touched them. Use this with other weapon types, like ones that summon ghosts or inflict more damage, and you'll be way ahead of the curve.

• The Burning Dead

This is a useful card to take into boss fights, as it flings the exploding corpses of your enemies onto your living enemies. Most bosses bring a drove of fighters, so using this card makes it easy to clear the space and focus on the boss.

• All Seeing Sun

Using All Seeing Sun is a great choice if you time your runs correctly. Using this card gives you 20% more damage whenever the sun is up, so if you apply it right at sunup, you can use the buff for your whole day.

• Master of the Art
