Queen’s Blood, the addictive card game within Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, gets even more challenging as you travel through the world. Mary in the Dustbowl Casino is a formidable opponent, but understanding her tactics and building a counter-strategy will lead you to victory (and that sweet Death Claw card)!
Mary’s Playstyle
Mary’s all about controlling the board and building up strength over time. Here’s what to watch out for:
- Tile Grabbing Galore: She loves cards that spread her influence over multiple tiles.
- The Slow Burn: Mary’s deck contains cards that get stronger the longer they’re on the board. Don’t underestimate them early on!
- Death Claw Power-Up: Her signature card, the Death Claw, gets more powerful with every enemy card destroyed.
How to Defeat Mary in Queen Blood Minigame in FF7 Rebirth
Let’s assemble a deck to counter Mary’s strategy:
- Security Officer: Cheap and great for spreading your own influence.
- Cactuar: Boosts your forces, especially those around it.
- Crawler: Not flashy, but versatile for grabbing those tricky diagonal tiles.
- Crystalline Crab: Strong early board control and boosts allies.
- Fleetwing: Lets you snag out-of-reach tiles or escape Mary’s traps.
- Titan: Big investment, but boosts surrounding allies and takes up a lot of space.
- Shiva: Spawns helpful Diamond Dust tokens to control space.
- Ogre: A powerful attacker to finish weakened enemies.
- Heatseeker: Great for destroying a specific problem card.
Winning Strategies
Here’s how to use that deck to take Mary down:
- Fight for Control: Mary wants to dominate the board. Match her with Security Officers and Crystalline Crab early on.
- Boost Your Forces: Cactuar helps protect against Mary’s gradual power-ups. Use it to strengthen key tiles.
- Attack, Don’t Wait: If Mary drops a Death Claw, take it out fast! Ogre and Heatseeker are great for this.
- Be Flexible: Queen’s Blood is unpredictable. Adapt your plays to the cards you draw and how Mary is acting.
It’s scary, but focus on your own strong plays instead of obsessing over it. You might go through your pawns quickly. Spend them on smart moves, not just playing lots of cards. This is a solid deck, but feel free to swap in cards you like if you have some favorites.
Final Words
Remember, Queen’s Blood has an element of luck, just like a real card game. Keep practicing, learn from your matches, and soon you’ll be celebrating your victory over Mary in that dusty casino!
