The Witcher 3: Get good Gwint cards

What is important for victory is your assembled deck with the best possible cards and some heroes. With a strong deck you have already half won the game.

• You can often buy Gwint cards from the host or from dealers in the local tavern. So in every village you should have a look at the pub.
• Above all, buy cards that have extra skills, such as "spy".
• If you are in the tavern anyway, play a game against the shop owner after buying the tickets. You will often receive another valuable card.
• Most opponents will give you a random card after they are defeated. So play as many games as possible to collect all cards.
• For particularly rare cards, there are Gwint quests that require a little more effort. You will find these - like other side quests - on the notice boards. In the Gwint quests you usually play against particularly strong players.
• In the study of the "Bloody Baron" you will find a playing card in a box on the chest of drawers.
• For the especially big rewards, you should take part in the Gwint tournament in Novigrad.

The Witcher 3: The best tips and moves for the card game Gwint

In addition to a strong deck, you also need the right strategy for victory.

• Keep an eye on your opponent's number of cards at all times. Whoever has more cards is usually always at an advantage.
• Pay attention to the bonus of the Northern Kingdom faction. They may draw a card after a winning round.
• The "Spy" action of some cards is extremely helpful here. You can place the card on the opposing battlefield, but you can draw two more cards.
• Use the "spies" especially when the point gap to the opponent is so high that you lose the round anyway.
• The opposing AI only fits a round if it wins with it, its point gap is very high or it has significantly fewer cards.
• Start by playing low stakes because you don't yet know which faction your opponent is playing with.
• Fraction Scoia'tael: Here you benefit from "tight ties" cards. Overall, however, the Scoia'tael are the weakest faction with few special cards.
• Imperial Fraction Nilfgaard: There are many special cards here. If possible, replace all cards with no special ability over time.
• Faction Monster: This is the strongest faction because there are many "tight bind" cards and after each round a random card remains on the field. You win against the monsters especially with "freezing cold", because there are many melee units.
