About Wildcard
Wildcard is the lucky trick-shot troublemaker and the most expensive hero at 1,200 coins. Trick Shot fires two pistol shots at a time with crisp orange trails, Ricochet Barrage unloads bouncing shots that leap between nearby monsters, and Lucky Dodge occasionally avoids a hit and grants a brief burst of speed.
Best playstyle
- Ranged damage
- Chaos
- Crowd control
Strengths
- Two projectiles per attack from the start — a built-in Split Shot.
- Ricochet Barrage is excellent against dense crowds because shots bounce between monsters.
- Lucky Dodge's speed burst helps escape bad positions.
Weaknesses
- 105 health and only 4% armor.
- Shots do not pierce and individual shots are small.
- Luck-based defence is unreliable — plan as if every hit will land.
Best weapons for Wildcard
Laser Rifle adds pierce. Rocket Launcher gives burst for bosses. Freeze Ray keeps crowds tightly packed so Ricochet Barrage bounces more.
Best upgrades
Split Shot is even better here because it adds to an existing pair. Power Fists scales with the high number of shots. Hero Vitality helps cover the low health.
Beginner strategy
Keep crowds in front of you and let both pistols work. Use Ricochet Barrage when monsters are bunched together; it is much weaker against a lone target.
Advanced strategy
Herd monsters into a cluster by circling them, then fire Ricochet Barrage into the centre. Use the Lucky Dodge speed burst as a cue to reposition, not to push forward.
Boss strategy
Average against a lone boss, very good against boss waves with large add swarms. Save the barrage for when the boss and its adds are packed together so bounces spread across both.
Best difficulty
Fun on Hero and Legend. On Nightmare, the low armor means Wildcard needs careful positioning or a sturdier co-op partner.
