The Ultimate Ranking of Debuff Cards in Friends Vs Friends

Friends vs Friends is a hyperviolent and hyper-stylish PvP FPS game that offers a diverse set of cards for players to create various builds. Despite having a smaller library of cards compared to other deckbuilder games, it still offers a wide range of cards, including Weapon Cards, Buff Cards, Joker Cards, Helper Cards, Trap Cards, and Debuff Cards. Among these, Debuff Cards can significantly impact the game and players' strategies. Therefore, this article will rank all the Debuff Cards from the weakest to the strongest.

16 Pixel-Vision

Pixel Vision is a unique card that amplifies the already heavily pixelated visuals of Friends vs Friends for a brief period of time. Its primary purpose is to make it challenging for opponents to spot their adversaries. However, the downside is that despite the increased pixelation, enemies can still make educated guesses based on shapes and colors. While the developers likely intended for this hyper-pixelated vision to be disorienting, it appears to have limited effectiveness for most players. Although it can be highly advantageous in certain circumstances, it is not a game-changer for the majority.

15 Garbage Day

Garbage Day is often underestimated due to its misuse by players. When played, it fills an opponent's hand with useless cards, making it difficult for them to select the card they need. Unfortunately, most players tend to use Garbage Day at the beginning of a round, giving their opponents ample time to discard the cards. However, when used in conjunction with Invisible Hand, Garbage Day can significantly impact the round. Additionally, the introduction of Bomb Lover Card has made Garbage Day more harmful than helpful.

14 Big Head

When played, the Big Head card causes the opponent's head to enlarge temporarily, making it simpler to score headshots. However, it is ranked lower than other Debuff Cards due to its minimal impact, which can easily be countered by more potent Buff Cards. Additionally, the gameplay of FvF does not allow for consistent headshots, even with an increased target head size.

The More Accuracy Buff card's impact on weapon spread is easily discernible, but the effects of Less Accuracy on opponents can be a bit more difficult to gauge.

The card's level 1 description boasts a 40 percent reduction in enemy accuracy, but its effectiveness is dependent on the opponent's equipment. While it can be a valuable asset against those wielding Brasshoppers or the FK-82 Assault Rifle, its impact on players with top-of-the-line FPS hardware may be negligible.

12 Invisible Health

The importance of in-game information and UI Elements can often go unnoticed by players until they are no longer available. The Invisible Health Debuff Card takes advantage of this fact. Without being able to see their health, players tend to either play recklessly or overly cautious, both of which can be easily countered by opponents.

11 Small Mag

At level 4, Small Mag can surprisingly outperform Empty Mag as it can significantly decrease the magazine size of powerful guns like the Boomstick and Laika by 50 percent. However, at the default level, Small Mag is a handy card to have in your arsenal but not one that would cause fear in your enemies.

10 Empty Mag

Empty Mag is a card that needs proper timing to get the most out of it, but when players use it perfectly it can flip the tides of a round in an instant.

Players can execute a stylish kill by using Empty Mag and Bullet Time in sequence when encountering two enemies with Boomsticks in close range.

The Invisible Hand card shares many similarities with Invisible Health, however, its impact on gameplay is greater due to the importance of proper card usage. Players who strategically use this card, especially in combination with Garbage Day or Counter Card, can quickly frustrate opponents who fall victim to its effects.

8 Swap Weapons

Players need to be vigilant when using the Swap Weapons Debuff card, as it requires constant monitoring of the game's progress. They must be able to spot when their opponents use Weapon Cards and determine whether swapping weapons will improve their chances of winning the round or not. It's important to note that exchanging the weak Boira 9 for the slightly better Golden Boira may not always be beneficial. However, replacing a powerful weapon like the Punch-R can quickly infuriate the opposing player.

7 Move Slower

Using Move Slower in your deck is a clever strategy to effectively have two Move Faster cards at your disposal. However, what sets this card apart is its ability to enhance the power of Katana users and render it nearly impossible for opponents to approach on certain maps like Subway Station or Rooftop. This makes it an invaluable addition to any player's deck.

6 Mind Blowing

In the hands of a skilled player, Mind Blowing can be a game-changer in Friends vs Friends. This card has the ability to remove the opponent's brain from their body and levitate it above their head for a period of 4-6 seconds, depending on the card level. However, any damage inflicted on the brain during this time will result in an instant death for the player.

5 Rubber Bullets

Players always include Rubber Bullets in their deck, even at level 1, because it's essential to debuff the opponent's damage and boost the player's chances of winning. However, the effects of this card are not very significant until players acquire multiple copies and level it up to 2 or 3. At level 4, Rubber Bullets becomes a formidable obstacle for opponents to deal any meaningful damage.

4 Poison

Poison may seem underwhelming at level 1 with only 24 damage dealt over 8 seconds, especially considering the base health of most characters is 150 HP. However, its value lies in its ability to reveal an enemy's location for the duration of the poison, as the 'ticks' of damage can be seen by both sides. This is why Poison remains a popular choice among players and is still ranked highly.

3 Barbed Cards

Barbed Cards is a card that relies heavily on psychological tactics in addition to its gameplay mechanics. While it may only deal 10 damage at level 1, the intimidating image of sharp barbs surrounding the cards and the fear of taking even a small amount of damage deters many FvF players from playing any cards at all. This makes Barbed Cards a highly effective Debuff Card, despite its seemingly low damage output. In fact, players can play up to 14 cards from full health and still survive, but the fear factor of this card often leads to players making suboptimal decisions in their gameplay strategy.

2 No Jump

The card that tends to cause the most frustration among players is No Jump, especially when it is used against them. FvF maps generally have a lot of vertical elements that can leave players feeling trapped if they are unable to jump. Additionally, many Friends vs Friends players have learned to adopt a strategy of constant movement and jumping, as it makes them more difficult targets. By playing No Jump on a map like Trucks, opponents can be easily cornered and left vulnerable.

1 Health Down

The top-notch Debuff card is undoubtedly Health Down. This card decreases the Max HP of opponents by 35 HP when at level 1, which may not seem substantial compared to their starting 150 HP. However, in a 2v2 match, this equates to a total reduction of 70 HP across both opponents. When combined with other cards such as Poison or Health up, it creates an even greater advantage for the user, making the round almost guaranteed to be won unless a catastrophic event occurs.
