So I beat the game on Android, and now I’m playing it on Switch. So I might add a few things.
For me the best themes were 1st, 3rd and 5th. I struggled while playing 2nd and 4th themes.
The 5th theme is the best one – the Death card and the artifact that gives Elize 1 Reflect are the things to go with. Foam cards and covering fire will carry you on.
The 1st theme is all about slashes and the artifacts that support them. Later on the deck is too weak to destroy end game and bonus bosses, but it will be enough to reach the end game.
The 3rd theme I remember that it was easy to play with, but I forgot why.
Never swap rewards in the middle game. Only swap boss chest with treasures. And aim for the golden key that gives extra blightstones.
In the secret room first buy extra strarting mana, and then extra power to cards. Then go for starting lvls. There are some gloves that give extra fortitude depending on your party lvl. When you have a party lvl 30-40 then it makes a difference.
Always go for events and always try new things. Even if the other option is a treasure, go for an unknown option.
If you have any questions, go ahead. Right now I’m playing on auto-pilot, so lots of things and decisions I make automatically.
Good card on Theme 1 (you can skip every other card)
UR
Abyss slash = strongest theme 1 attack card. low cost high damage and buff other slash card.
Walking Dash = best theme 1 buff card. use all your mana to get 4+ speed for everyone.
Spread = aoe
Reinforce = pick if drop, dont buy too expensiveSR
Sonic Thrust = best sr card on this deck. 1 cost high damage that give 3 speed.
Unity Slash = on slash deck it have insane cost perfomance ratioHR
Barrage Spear = high damage for 1 cost
Digging Work = to use card twice
Utility cutter = for 0 cost its awesome
Lost Spear = its decent aoe for early chapterR
Baton Pass = main buffing card, dont get more than 2
Full slash = cheap aoe
Hard slash = good for early chapterN
Change Chute = quick free gold
Front Slash = good attack
Another change = 0 cost change that buff
Change heal = heal is valuable
Running attack = good attack but dont have slash synergiesIt’s also worth noting that it’s always better to keep the deck small, so the important cards will come sooner. So it’s not worth taking a new card all the time, but rather skip some (or a lot of) treasure chests. Also it’s worth using card removal in shops. For example I always remove the Power Up card first. You almost never will have enough long fights to have this card be worth using (on the other side the Reinforce @spoilerspree mentioned is an awesome card).
My Theme 1 recipe (in random order):
1. Lost Slash
2. Slash Pick (also awesome card)
3. Unity Slash
4. Hard Slash
5. Full Slash
6. Heavy Thurst
7. Front Slash
8. Utility Cutter
9. Final Spear
10. The End (with Hard Slash it’s easy ~80 damage)
11. Reinforce
12. Abyss Slash
Except the cards mentioned above, I don’t ever take any other cards.
Early on, Change Slash can be a useful tool to healing and causing damage at same time. But this assumes you actually need this healing.

Healing is indeed virtually worthless on Beginner.
In contrast, the small bonus recovery you get from swapping is almost necessary every turn on Normal!
Blight stone unlocks are seemingly becoming more and more of a requirement for Karma 10 and Nightmare.
Achievement guide
I only mention harder ach to complete.Win without cards
Easiest would be using Theme 1 treasure Fire attack lens. It deal 20 damage every time character back to spot when changed. This relic damage is fixed type, it ignore Clinks (glowing special monster with 10 hp) defendsDeal 100 damage
Theme 1 Big behavior – UR card that deal 1/10 gold
Theme 4 Self destruct30 hit
Theme 4 Denver mirror + Copy sheep + Machine gun bullet on 3 mobs (3 x 2 x 6 = 36)
Theme 5 treasure Soul eater staff (every hit become 3 hit) and Gamblers knife (if head attack 8 times)Win with swift foot 15+
Theme 1 got so many swift foot buff card. can use sheep card to help too.Win with fortitude 30+
Theme 3 Stacking, Equivalent exchange. Use Will, Wormhole and Cheap copy to generate those card. Other useful card to take is Reload and Anti sheep empress.25 poison
Theme 4 poison card. Stack poison with Brewed poison + Tree, born in terra and other card until 19+ then finish with Venom fang.5 gamble
Theme 5 gamble cardI was thinking about getting the 30+ fortitude thing, and instead of Stacking (that require using the cards) I came up with this:
Important part is getting the Pickaxe treasure as it gives 1 fortitude each time you get less than 3 cards in a turn. Then choose an enemy that rarely attacks (or attacks for low) and keep ending the turn. Beware of using Sticky Mana card. Once you will get it, you will be unable to get rid of it.

Yeah, that’s one way to go about that. Another way is to reuse theme 1’s card “Bitter Resistance”. It applies 3 Fortitude to the vanguard, and as a nice addition (I don’t know if it’s even mentioned in the effect text), it heals the vanguard for 10 HP in exchange for the small disadvantage of not being able to change positions for 7 turns (7 restraint) each time the card is used. Using this method, you don’t have to worry about a random mob clobbering you to death before you reach 30 fortitude. There might be other methods, especially since I haven’t even unlocked themes 4 and 5 yet.

Now that I’ve tried out all theme decks, my favorite strategy – I like it even more than theme deck 5’s “Surprise Strategy” + “Death” combo – is theme deck 4’s acceleration and delay strategy. You only need to obtain as many copies as possible of “Gravity Burn” and “Aero Sonic” during one dungeon run (you already start with one copy of the latter one). Don’t acquire any other cards, and delete as many cards as possible, starting with any imposed ones (like “Time Bomb”, “Smile”, “Scalding”), then “Fire” next and finally your “Bio Balls” (which support “Poison” strategies and thus aren’t needed here). Upgrade your “Aero Sonic(s)” first, then your “Gravity Burn(s)”.
Once you’ve done all that, your deck is a no-brainer nonstop speed fire machine that rarely lets enemies take turns. Fire off your “Gravity Burns” (delay enemy actions by 0.3) first, since they’re removed for the rest of the battle upon use, follow with your “Aero Sonics” (accelerate the user by 0.2), and if you have mana left, finish with “Knock Backs” (delay enemy actions by 0.05 – you start every dungeon run with three copies of them in your deck). Two treasures that are of great help and that you should obtain as soon as possible are “Swift Disc” (boosts acceleration and delay effects by 50%) and “Hovering Device” (accelerates all party members by 0.2 at the start of a battle). There’s also a treasure that delays all enemies’ actions by 0.4 if an enemy is defeated, but that’s rather “nice to have” than “must have”.
Since I know from other Exe Create games – like “Ruinverse” – how overpowered action delay is in the battle systems of recent Exe Create games, I’m not surprised this strategy works in “Overrogue” as well. “Gravity Burn Aero Sonic Knock Back” – it’s a fine name for a strategy (or a random fighting skill right out of a Shonen Manga).
I’ll be honest with you! To this day I never found out (but tried) if swiftfoot does or affects anything at all. I think it doesn’t. Same for turn delay. Perhaps the turn indeed is delayed, but it’s barely noticeable and most often it’s not noticeable at all. But I’m glad that you managed to see the light in it :). Maybe I haven’t put enough resources and dedication into this.
