Hey, today I wanna talk about Marvel Snap Priority. I know some of ya might not understand all them fancy terms, but don’t worry, I’ll break it down nice and simple, like how we explain things back in the village.
Now, in Marvel Snap, every turn you gotta figure out whose cards get shown first. That’s what they call “Priority”. Real important, this thing, ‘cause it can change who wins or loses. Let’s say you both played your cards, but who’s gonna show their cards first? The game decides based on who’s in the lead. It’s like when two neighbors are arguing over whose field is bigger, the one with more crops usually gets to talk first, right?
Now here’s how it works in the game. The player with the most locations won, they get priority. That means their cards are gonna flip over first. If both players are tied for locations, then it looks at total power. Whoever’s got the bigger number gets the first reveal. But if that’s tied too, then it’s just random. Kinda like throwing a coin up in the air and hoping it lands your way.
Sometimes, though, you don’t wanna be the one to reveal first. Yeah, it sounds strange, but trust me, sometimes being second can save your bacon. See, some cards do sneaky things, like wrecking the other fella’s plans. If you go second, you can react to what the other guy did. Like when you see your neighbor’s fence break down, you don’t fix yours till you know what they’re gonna do first, right?
But most of the time, having priority’s real nice ‘cause you get to put your cards out there first. You can make sure your big, powerful cards hit the board before the other guy gets a chance to mess with ‘em. If you’re winning, it’s like putting your foot down, saying, “I’m in charge here!”
How do you know you got priority?
Well, it’s easy to see. Look at the top of your screen while you’re playing. If you see a glowing border around your name, that’s you! You got priority, so your cards will reveal first that round. If your opponent’s name is glowing, then they’re the one with priority. Simple as that. No need for fancy calculators or nothing.
When Priority Really Matters
Now, you’re probably wondering when all this priority stuff actually matters. Let me tell ya, it’s more important than you think. Lots of cards in Marvel Snap care about who’s flipping first. Take “Cosmo,” for example. If you got priority and Cosmo’s on the board, you can stop the other fella from doing something sneaky with their cards. But if you don’t have priority, Cosmo ain’t gonna help much ‘cause the sneaky card already did its thing.
Another card, “Shang-Chi,” he loves when he ain’t got priority. Why? ‘Cause he destroys big cards, but only if they’re already on the board. If you go first, Shang-Chi’s just standing there with nothing to do, but if you go second, boom! He’ll take out that big fella on the other side.
Priority in the Late Game
Now, in the last turns, usually turn 5 and 6, priority can decide the whole game. You gotta think about who’s gonna flip their cards first and what they’re playing. It’s like cooking a big meal – you don’t wanna be the first one to serve if your stew ain’t ready yet! You gotta plan it out, watch what the other person’s cooking, and make your move when it counts.
Sometimes it’s better to lose priority on purpose, just so you can make that big, last-moment surprise. Other times, you wanna hang onto it tight and keep the pressure on. Depends on your cards and what you think the other player’s got.
Why Priority Isn’t Everything
Now, don’t get me wrong. Priority’s important, but it ain’t everything. You still gotta have the right cards and play smart. You can have priority every turn and still lose if you don’t know how to use your cards right. It’s like having the best tools in the shed but not knowing how to fix the fence – tools are nice, but you gotta use ‘em right.
So, next time you’re playing Marvel Snap, keep an eye on that glowing border and think about what priority’s doing for ya. It might be the difference between winning and losing, but don’t let it distract you from playing smart. Sometimes losing priority can actually be part of the plan – just like knowing when to let your neighbor win a small argument so you can win the big one later.
Alright, that’s all I gotta say about Marvel Snap Priority. Hope it helps you out in your games. Just remember, it’s all about paying attention and using it to your advantage. Good luck out there!
