Learn how to set up and play the Cleric Character Pack for Hero Realms. This guide covers deck replacement, ability cards, and key strategies for healing and smiting.

Quick Answer

Replace your starting deck with the Cleric Character Pack's 15-card set, then use the Resurrect and Bless abilities to heal allies and empower your attacks.

Why Choose the Cleric Class

The Cleric is a support-oriented class that excels at healing and boosting your forces. Unlike aggressive classes like the Fighter or Thief, the Cleric focuses on sustaining your health and buffing your deck. This makes it ideal for longer games or cooperative play against boss decks like the Lich.

Trade-Offs of the Cleric Pack

The Cleric's healing abilities are powerful, but they can slow down your early game tempo. You may need to balance buying attack cards with using your abilities to stay alive. Against fast, aggressive opponents, you might fall behind before your sustain kicks in.

Step-by-Step Cleric Setup and Play

Replace Your Starting Deck: Remove your standard Hero Realms starting deck and replace it with the Cleric's 10-card personal deck. Shuffle it and place it face down as your draw pile. Do not mix the Cleric deck with other character packs unless you are playing a variant.
Set Up Ability Cards: Place the Cleric character card in front of you. Keep the Resurrect and Bless ability cards nearby. You can use these abilities once per turn by paying their costs (usually discarding cards or spending gold). A common mistake is forgetting to use your abilities before buying cards. Plan your turn order carefully.
Play Your First Turn: Draw 5 cards from your personal deck. Use gold to buy cards from the trade row, and use combat to attack opponents or monsters. The Cleric's deck includes Prayer Beads (for gold) and Spiked Mace (for combat). Focus on acquiring cards that generate extra gold or combat early to build momentum.
Use Resurrect and Bless: Resurrect allows you to heal damage or return cards from your discard pile to your hand. Bless can boost your attack or give you extra resources. Read each card's text for exact effects. Healing is best used when you are below half health. Bless is more effective when you have a strong attack card in hand.
Score and Win: The game ends when a player reaches the required victory points (usually 50 in a standard game). The Cleric's unique scorecards provide alternative ways to earn points, such as healing a certain amount. Track your healing total if using the Cleric's scorecards. Some players forget to count healing as a scoring condition.
