About this mod
Upgrades every card in each hero's starter deck and gives their cards a chance to be modded.
- Permissions and credits
- This mod will only change a hero's starter deck if it's installed prior to adding that hero to your roster, so, in most cases, it'll need to be a new game (or a new NG+) for heroes like Hunter and Blade since they're added to your roster right after you start a new playthrough.
- The mod chances are random. Just because I have certain cards modded in those screenshots doesn't mean they'll be modded in your game.
- This mod can be installed mid-playthrough, just remember that the new buffed starter decks will only apply to heroes you recruit after you install this mod.
- This mod doesn't affect the decks of heroes already in the roster.
- There's a built-in workaround in the mod that allows you to skip the objective to upgrade a card so you don't get stuck in the game. All you have to do is interact with the sword and exit the screen (without needing to do anything). After that, the game should prompt you to talk to Captain Marvel.
