How to play Deadpool

Overview & game plan

A chaos mercenary: pure damage turns, rock-paper-scissors bets and an assortment of fourth-wall tricks.

If after roll 1 5× Mask for Fourth Wall! are reachable. Keep 5× Mask and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Fourth Wall! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Taco Truck. Fourth Wall! deals a documented 14 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

Strengths

  • Lots of PURE damage (Donut Hole 4, Knife Fight 3): no defense possible
  • An RPS win: +2/+3 on attacks or 2 prevention – automatic on the ultimate
  • Fourth Wall!: 14 damage + copy another hero's positive status
  • Onomatopoeia turns dice to 4 or 5 – plannable sets

Weaknesses

  • Mutant Healing only heals 1 and prevents 0 – he practically does not defend
  • The gag bonuses (Pew Pew, Taco Tuesday) require playing along or the Curmudgeon Coin

How you defend

Mutant Healing: always heals 1, then 4 dice – 1 counter per knife, jokes grant Onomatopoeia, 0 prevention. Only a defensive RPS win (2 prevention) really blocks – he defends through tempo, not mitigation.

Concrete playing rules

Resources

  • RPS / Shoot Card: RPS (max 1, once per turn): challenge to rock-paper-scissors when attacking or defending – a win: +2 damage (+3 with the Shoot card active) or 2 prevention. The Shoot card auto-wins a lost round, then flips inactive. Knife Fight, Merc with a Mouth, Fiesta, the Besmirched mask, ultimate (reactivates the Shoot card). Offensively on big hits; save the Shoot card as insurance for the game's most important throw.

Statuses & timing

  • RPS: max 1, redeemable once per turn – a win gives +2 damage (+3 with the Shoot card active) or 2 prevention.
  • Onomatopoeia: max 2, turns a die to 4 (knife) or 5 (joke).
  • Donut: max 2, roll in upkeep and heal 1–3; giftable.
  • Shoot card: auto-wins one lost RPS round, then flips inactive; the ultimate reactivates it.
  • Save RPS for hits of 6+; sacrifice the Shoot card only when the win kills.
  • Eat Donuts below 20 health instead of hoarding them.
  • RPS / Shoot Card: Knife Fight, Merc with a Mouth, Fiesta, the Besmirched mask, ultimate (reactivates the Shoot card).
  • RPS / Shoot Card: Offensively on big hits; save the Shoot card as insurance for the game's most important throw.
  • Onomatopoeia / Donut: Knife Fight, Donut Hole, Merc with a Mouth, Besmirched/Mutant Healing jokes, Fiesta.
