Hades 2: The best Tarot Cards you should always equip

In Hades 2, the Tarot Card system is a key way to get stronger between each attempt. These cards offer helpful boosts – like faster health or mana recovery, increased dodging, or even a chance to avoid dying – and you can improve them further to make them even more effective.

You can’t have too many Tarot Cards active at once, so it’s important to pick the right ones, as some only work in certain situations. We’ve highlighted the best Tarot Cards in Hades 2 to help you decide which ones to focus on.

The Sorceress

The first card you unlock is incredibly useful and you’ll likely want to keep it throughout the entire game. Omega moves are key to dealing significant damage in Hades 2, and this card speeds up how quickly you can use them. Fully upgraded, it can increase your casting speed by up to 30%, which is a huge benefit.

The Wayward Son

Getting a little bit of health back automatically is always beneficial. While 3 health per room doesn’t seem like much, it really adds up during a playthrough, and even more so if you improve the ability to heal 5 health per room. It might not always be a game-changer, but we’ve all been in boss fights where a small amount of extra health is the difference between winning and losing.

The Huntress

To play effectively, try to keep your mana below 100%. Use your Omega moves whenever you can, particularly during boss fights. This will consistently boost your attack and special damage, giving you a significant advantage.

The Furies

Your Cast ability is a powerful asset, becoming even more effective with upgrades. When you trap enemies within your Cast, it stops them and makes them easier to hit. Boosting the damage dealt to those inside is a great way to defeat tough enemies quickly.

Persistence

This card consistently provides a valuable boost to your character. It increases your starting health and mana – up to 40 points each with full upgrades – helping you survive longer and deal more damage. While experienced players might choose more advanced options, this is a great card for most players to keep active at all times.

Death

Okay, seriously, if you’re trying to beat the final boss, you *need* Death Defiance. It’s a game-changer! Basically, it brings you back to life if you get knocked out – how amazing is that? Even getting it once makes a huge difference in how far I can get in a run. And you can upgrade it to get up to three revives! Honestly, there’s absolutely no reason *not* to grab it – it’s like getting an extra life every time I play.

The Queen

Duo boons are among the strongest upgrades you can get in the game. They blend the powers of two different gods, creating unique and powerful combinations. The Queen helps you find these rare boons, giving you access to amazing new abilities.

Strength

Death Defiance is a powerful card that can save you when you’re almost defeated. While it’s best to have as many as possible, it’s especially helpful when you’re close to beating a boss but running out of lives. This card can be the difference between losing and winning a tough fight.
