Sentinels of the Multi-Verse Haka Guide

Описание: Unbreakable and unstoppable. Haka is the quintessential bruiser-tank: he builds a big hand, turns those cards into huge burst damage, and protects the team with damage prevention, redirection, and self-heal. This guide focuses on tight sequencing so you smash threats without running out of gas.


What you’ll learn
Core game plan (3 pillars)



1.


Stock Up – Grow your hand size and table presence. The bigger your hand, the bigger your punches and shields.




2.


Stabilize – Use team protection / DR / self-heal to blunt villain spikes while you keep drawing.




3.


Cash In – Convert cards into massive burst (or full-board safety) at the turn that matters.





Priority cards & why (category-based, spoiler-light)



•


Hand-Size Engines: Effects that draw extra or reward you for destroying/controlling environment cards. Haka scales directly with a fat hand.




•


Self-Heal / DR: Reliable heals and temporary damage reduction let you soak hits so others don’t have to.




•


Team-Wide Protection: One-turn damage shutdown / prevention tools that blank a villain alpha or a nasty environment round.




•


Redirection / Guarding: “Hit me instead” effects that let glass-cannon teammates keep their engines in play.




•


Weapons / Multi-Target Lines: Repeatable powers or attacks that hit multiple targets; perfect for minion waves.




•


Burst Amplifiers: Cards that let you discard X to add big damage to a hit (or supercharge an AOE). These turn your hoarded hand into a finisher.




•


Utility / Control: Spot removal for problem ongoings/environment, or ways to bank/recall power for a later spike.





Turn sequencing (first 4 rounds)



•


T1: Play a draw/hand engine or a solid repeatable attack. Use power conservatively; prioritize ending the turn +1 or +2 cards.




•


T2: Add self-heal/DR or a multi-target tool. Keep building hand; don’t discard for burst yet unless it removes a must-die target.




•


T3: If the board is stable, keep drawing and set a protection piece. If unstable, use team protection to blank the spike and buy a full round.




•


T4: Cash in: Convert cards → burst damage (single boss or AOE), or lock the table again with prevention if a second spike is coming.






Rule of thumb: Draw → Defend → Then Detonate. Don’t spend the hand until it wins a swing.


Matchup plans



•


Wide swarms: Lean on multi-target attacks; save your big discard-burst for the highest-HP minion or the boss after the field is trimmed.




•


Tall bosses: Build to one or two mega-hits (discard-powered) while maintaining DR/heal so you can stay in front.




•


Environment-heavy fights: Make use of environment control that turns cleanup into draw/tempo. A clean board = more Haka turns.




•


Ongoing/Equipment hate: Stagger your key plays and keep a protection card in hand; don’t dump your whole plan into a known wipe.





Team synergies (who loves Haka, and who Haka loves)



•


Global damage buffs / enemy debuffs: Small +1s explode Haka’s multi-hit turns and make discard-bursts outrageous.




•


Extra power use givers: Double dip—repeatable strike + heal/protect or strike + strike in one round.




•


Card draw engines: Feeding Haka cards is feeding the team safety and finishers later.




•


Fragile engines / glass cannons: Haka’s redirection/DR lets them keep combo pieces on the table.




•


Turn-order control: Let Haka blank damage before fragile allies act, or finish after allies stack debuffs.





Common pitfalls (and fast fixes)



•


Spending the hand too early: You nuke once and stall.




•


Fix: Don’t discard big unless it kills a phase/boss or saves the game.







•


Face-tanking without a follow-up heal/DR: You’ll drift to low HP and lose tempo.




•


Fix: Pair every big commit with a heal/DR the same t...
