[GWENT] THE ULTIMATE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO GWENT

[@MrJoakyfran]

Hey, you said spell instead of special. I love the video, but this is something that confuses new players Edit: also, while the second part of the video is important, I'd say it's a bit advanced

[@amiroolbahri7061]

im a (not pro) tcg (buddyfight) and ccg (mythgard) player. im interested to play Gwent but this is very confusing. i dont even know how battles work when im already at 10 mins into the vid

[@aymonverheij1863]

@@amiroolbahri7061 Yeah same he really needed to explain when you win first

[@bintangantares709]

Not if you're a Yu-Gi-Oh! graduate 😉

[@MrJoakyfran]

@@bintangantares709 It is confusing since Spell does mean something in game. Confusing minion/monster with unit isnt confusing since they are equivalents from different games. Spell is a tag in game which is different from special. A lot of cards reference spells yet they dont mean "spell" as in Yugioh

[@YOLO22272]

@@bintangantares709 Yes ma dude😂😂😂 Came straight from yugioh to this game

[@reecemakondo-wass3875]

After watching the whole video I’m still just as confused

[@drago1943]

I think i'm now more confused. 😟

[@laegu5430]

He just didn't explain what points are smh

[@napalmsf]

I've been watching several and I feel like I'm getting increasingly confused 😅

[@1989happii]

I realised that in first few minutes..

[@bakersdirtydozen]

I'm not smart enough to take this all in

[@MichaelMedici61W2]

You’re not alone. Sadly I cannot get this new way of Gwent and I’m pissed off about it

[@willwalk2000]

Don’t sell yourself short, this dude is obviously more hell-bent on impressing us his with his ‘knowledge’ then actually teaching us how to play the damn game.

[@JohnDoe-bx1bw]

tbh the info was compressed into the time frame a bit too much. I would take a half an hour video that goes more slowly and shows examples of the mechanics mentioned

[@daveyjoneslocker4703]

I became a master of Gwent in w3, learning the best strats for every deck, winning every tournament, scouring every merchant and manipulating the political machinations of the entire damn continent and affecting countless sentient lives and the course of history all so I could keep the holder of every card alive for the taking. The fate of the world hung in the balance, the time of the white frost was nigh, yet it was nothing to me compared to my pursuit of EVERY. DAMN. CARD. Then I downloaded Gwent and got me booty cheeks clapped.

A very true story indeed XD

chief wiggums only simple minded people enjoy simple pleasures after all

[@yatyas311]

Thought this was a beginners guide lol. I was lost in the sauce the whole time.

[@yesthehandymancan]

true the second half is more advanced understanding but still helpful if you have just started playing

[@MichaelMedici61W2]

2 minutes in and I felt like I was back in grade school when the algebra got started

[@bussicus3417]

Semper Fi Brother and yes. I was too and panic ate the rest of my sons crayons.

[@JackBarnes14]

This video was so useful man, thanks! Got addicted to gwent in Witcher 3 and downloaded it on android yesterday, hooked already now playing on my PC but without this video I would have never understood what all the different orders/deploys etc meant. Thanks!

[@geraltofbolivia9428]

I got so excited for this only because Gwen in Witcher 3 was so easy to grasp and understand but now they’ve made it into a chore to learn.

[@farrel_ra]

well welcome to the real competitive gwent!

[@Hylss]

My mind collapsed after 5 minutes, but I will keep at it, both the video and the game.

[@tanta3343]

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. Explained the big concepts clearly for new players, other beginner vids are way too complicated and dense with unnecessary detail. Please make more like this

[@alboichone1153]

Honestly, this is a great video for beginners. I couldn't understand how I always ended up with 1 or 2 cards less and essentially losing the game while I had better cards than my opponents. In the end, having more cards is more important than having better cards.

[@farrel_ra]

Nah it greatly depends on the matchup. If u know deck type called "Midrange", they excel at both condition, but indeed it is so hard to master. Essentially, Midrange deck is one of the deck that could win even if they lose card advantage.

[@hugomorscheck804]

I just started playing Gwent Mobile and have no idea how to this and that. Thanks for your video! Subbed!

[@Caribou0115]

Exactly what I was looking for. Great game, but I find it very frustrating that I have to go on youtube to find a decent explanation. The tutorial in the game is way too limited

[@davidkunakovsky3155]

Caribou0115 true.

[@Darth_Pro_x]

Yeah, it completely lacks an explanation of currency, deck building and crafting

[@Bglad97]

How do you do the tutorial? I cant find one in game lol. I just started playing a few days ago

[@superkool7]

see, this is it man. ive been playing gwent since ios launch and this is the best video for beginners in my opinion. this guy gets right to the point, focusing on the important stuff and no filler. BUT, you get the most out of this if you are playing games AT THE SAME TIME. dont watch this and THEN start playing, watch this a few times while you go at it and you will be amazed what you get out of it. thanks a lot brother for a good video!

[@abdullahbajwa7101]

I have no idea why I watched this I already know how to play but I’ve gotta applaud your editing and explanation habbla

[@hao7350]

A well-made vid! Both funny and informative for a player like myself who hasn't been playing for a long time. The Bronze patch was just released, and I'll try it out when things are settled down a bit.

[@ripley7840]

the decision to make leader abilities freely available was a very good decision. not only made it deckbuilding easier to new and old players, but the grind to unlock a certain abiliy that you need/want was completly removed

[@nathanielbaynosa3522]

Deym this was really an ultimate beginners guide

[@ZaileeRamsey]

For starters, just pick Nifgard with lockdown ability. Then pick units with lock. There are at least 4 unit that can lock enemies. 2 bronze soldiers + 1 neutral unit + 1 witcher Then craft 2 gold units that can seize and destroy locked enemies. This way u dont need gerald or special cards to destroy high power enemy. Craft 2 master of disguise for self boosting. Artifact portal really help here. This way u can handle any enemy with order ability such as scotael or northen. But this method only works on lower rank since the higher rank players know the way to purify the lock. I use this method and won first 50 match with ease. After that it all become hard as hell. Just keep experimenting. Every faction have at least 3 or 4 base unique way to play. Good luck.

[@scottbeckett3061]

Great video. I played a little bit on my friends Witcher game and loved it. I tried it on PS4 but wouldn't work for some reason, now on Android is a God send. All of your explanations are great for noobs like me. Thanks so much and keep up the good work

[@freasfuck]

Nice video mate, I used to play Gwent couple of years ago, I just came back and couldn’t understand shit lmao

[@beenie_boygames4816]

I watched the guide on the official website first. This was really useful after watching the former.

[@Geko332]

Strong video liked it !!

[@doodleridoo9493]

Started these type of card games just 3 months ago, sadly, on a dying one ( tesl ) was looking for a new one to get started, as an artist myself, loved the gwent cards, but i was overwhelmed by its complexity and ingame tutorial explained almost nothing...thanks for this...subscribed

[@LPeck1985]

TES: Legends was really fun. I still have it, but without thorough support, it's declining. The mechanics in that game seem better. But I'm going to give GWENT a solid chance, and try get my head around it.

[@bussicus3417]

Good vid man. Watched twice. Got lost on step two and got d#÷k stuck in the toaster. Will try Again tomorrow.

[@zwxenvars9593]

When my friend want to know ur youtube name. I say misterblablablabla1 😂. Never remember ur name 😭. Amazing vidéo.

[@zacheray]

Guess I've played enough card games.. I had no trouble following, thanks man

[@LostInDistance]

Watched this twice.. I’m still confused. lol 😅

[@oskarmadry550]

Best way to know how to play is watching gameplays

[@maxmaxed2887]

This is fucking insane, my brain bursts with shit, but thank you!

[@LeslieSolorzanov]

From all the tutorials this is indeed the ultimate beginners guide. It's long but I guess all of them are and Gwent seems very complicated :( Anyway, thanks for the video

[@bintangantares709]

Thx! I'm gonna use lockdown ability until the pandemic ends 👍

[@kimhansen8615]

Excellent summary - Thanks a lot. Will give it a try...

[@AleQuag]

Damn this game is complicated af!

[@tkf28]

Keep practicing. It's what I did

[@thomasjml82]

Thanks they don’t explain the provision mechanism at all.

[@TehSlayerOfDragonz]

I skipped the tutorial coz I was like I’ve played Gwent a thousand times of course I know how to play it. But it’s a completely different game 😂

[@BenKallender]

This was the most informative video I've ever watched.

[@properletters]

All of a sudden an informative and well made video on Gwent game mechanics. Nice

[@jakobfel2]

I've come to the conclusion that I just suck at CCGs like this. I didn't understand the way it played in W3, I gave it a go through Thronebreaker but I've almost NEVER won a fight against the AI in that game (thanks to CDPR for allowing you the option to auto-win battles if you don't win fairly) and I definitely can't win against real players. I've literally never won a game against a real player in Gwent, The Elder Scrolls Legends or Chronicle: RuneScape Legends (the short-lived RuneScape CCG). Hopefully, this tutorial will help me out because I'd LIKE to be at least decent at Gwent, especially given the cool (if a bit superficial) bonuses I got from owning Thronebreaker and Cyberpunk.

[@jakobfel2]

It seems it did help because now I'm nearing 100 hours of gameplay and I have a lot of fun with it. Thanks!

[@Henri_II]

Without a doubt the most complex game I've ever witnessed in my life. Feels like you need a damn 1 week course and an exam afterward to get everything into your head.

[@KalponicGames]

very nice explanation I was thinking to make one myself. But I think I can just redirect to this video for new players.

[@milenasoloduhina1726]

The easiest method of crafting cards is returning to the game after Homecoming launched and realizing that Your Extensive collection has been dusted and Your 800+ unopened decks are still available...

[@happymaskedguy1943]

This was a clusterfuck of a beginner’s guide. Let’s start with the actual basics.

[@tpox8598]

Quality video

[@alirezamansour-ghanaei564]

New to gwent here, found this video very useful. Thx so much! (Have to check your other videos so i can play better & craft cards, build decks )

[@abdulrahmana8623]

Overwhelming

[@reezuleanu1676]

I played in the first months of the closed beta, before card placement was even introduced. Shit got so ridiculously different from the Witcher 3 minigame that I was basically banished by all the new systems I couldn't understand.

[@monkemode2148]

glad i'm not the only one that went from gwent in W3 to this and felt dumb lmao

[@afa1515]

Jorge Gomez Nope...

[@animeoryx4678]

Wow thank you. I'm beginner in this game and little bit confuse sometimes but thanks for these it was really helpful info

[@matousprochy8392]

Great video 👍

[@Soon21]

Excellent video. It helps me. Look forward to the next one.

[@zonule_]

2:00 canadian confirmed

[@grisben]

I think you have provision number backwards. The higher the provision the better the card, and vis versa

[@rockylosco5596]

Very detailed game,very good,very good explanation I’m just hoping I catch onto all this although I know I will I just don’t know how long it will take lol,I’m confused somewhat though cause there’s a lot going on here.

[@dejanvranic8833]

Thx for the video. I played Gwent a lot 2 years ago, but the gameplay has completely changed since then. I lost all my cards and couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Than I noticed I had 365k scraps, lol. So now Im trying to relearn the game and making all the cards again.

[@HeyvanElEzrail]

Great quality video as always, I have a recommendation, since Northern Realms change a lot thanks to the last patch, maybe it might be good make Shupe with that faction again

[@franciscosanchez-zf5vo]

Yeah, i want henselt shupe again

[@ScilexGuitar]

@@franciscosanchez-zf5vo lol

[@blainesimpson6816]

Great video. I don't know why the game doesn't come with basic information like what the many indications on the cards mean. I searched all over for this info but it's very hard to come by, at least for current revision of the standalone game. Thanks! You assumed knowledge of a couple rules like that winner of a round starts next round but Google solved that for me. I wish you would have covered exact operation and sequence of the more complicated resurrection cards, like the monster egg one. When I have access to the game I'll come back and post a more precise question.

[@paulfischer1650]

Great Video explanation! =D Do you think you could also add how the cards work? For example, what do the numbers and icons mean and how to perform offensive and defensive tactics and combos, etc?

[@tkf28]

You should be a teacher. Very well explained

[@Chemike21]

If people don't understand how to play cards, they don't know how to read. Literally EVERY thing you need to know is written out on every card.

[@jamesgreeves1086]

Great Video. Know I have half a clue 🤣

[@victorresto7765]

HEYO! Time to update this for the 2021 crowd! Wanted to show this to a new player friend, but we need to show her the new Habbla openings and improved editing skills!

[@redhotchillidazer2013]

Thanks for this guide. I fully understand what you all said. I will be no. 1 gwent player soon.

[@TehEeveeGeneral]

Great editing!

This was really helpful man thanks

[@zeusaarc8572]

why does that sound sarcastic

[@grallonsphere]

Bejesus that's complicated.

[@harrshpant8298]

Why would you dislike this ? My boy poured his brain out trying to explain features you'd have taken months to even notice

[@damasek219]

Nice, and now can you tell us how to play?

[@abhinavdino]

Idk shit. Gotta watch this again.. And again..

[@tristanlanz9484]

very nice!

[@2hot2handle65]

Go with Monsters. Build your deck using Wild Hunt units. Win every time. I started as Nilfgaad for the sexy units, but Monsters is where it's at.

[@absoluteenthusiasm5102]

Well done dude :-D 👍

[@periurban]

Thanks for the intro!

[@bagusfarisa]

[@mk-mz8ng]

We've met in RL. Good video though thanks.

[@misterhabbla1]

thx Adolf

[@cyrusvile6622]

Bleeding is very OP if you win round 1, and you know that you did not pull good cards. Then you can repress them to 4 cards and it’s over

[@ripley7840]

watching while you ropponent is forced to play his good card bc he either doesn't have others on his hand or thinks you pull a big strategy is always fun

[@MaxAltair]

It become more complex than W3 in game but... where are the 3rd row Siege units?

[@Krangerldn]

This is very good 👊🏽

[@cuddlytitan4623]

Thanks for the guide! Now that it’s on iOS I can consistently play Gwent! I have 1 question though. You’ve mentioned commander specific cards/abilities and I was wondering if that’s removed from the game for iOS or if they are changed to the abilities you choose from right at the start of building a new deck and you just choose a commander skin. I’m just a little confused because people mention and show very cool commander cards and I’m just wondering where those are.

[@misterhabbla1]

ProNewb u have every leader ability at your exposal from the start now. You can use your reward point to unluck leader skins now

[@BakeNeko]

Thank you very much, damn good guide !!!!

I just want to know how to add a friend

[@no_droptb8369]

Just started playing it. Just realized it's been out for years. Is it worth continuing to play? Or is there a second game?

[@whollypotatoes]

You jumped immediately into card details and mechanics before talking about game structure, turns, and objectives. This is not a beginner's guide.

[@moon55555]

Thanks for info. very helpful :-)

[@arkahimself]

Hi, thanks for the content. I have a question. How do you manually trigger an order for a card? By interacting with the leader character?

[@misterhabbla1]

You click on the card with the order ability

[@sergio_tellez]

I'm on minute 4 and already lost...

[@minkles1330]

2 mins in and I'm lost already haha.... Gwent in game is easy but this a mind phuck. I still struggle with Hearthstone.

[@SheepShade]

How about explaining what the numbers on the cards mean? I would say thats pretty basic stuff. How are cards removed? Only through effects? I played Gwent in Witcher 3 but never tried the online card game and I still have so many questions. I also would seperate things like deckbuilding, currencies and the reward system into other videos and just take your time talking about mechanics.

[@grassCrow]

ultimate beginners guide doesnt even tell you what the goal of each round is .... seems like that should have been in the first minute .... dont think this ultimate guide tells you that at all ...

[@RAAM281]

eh ill just stick to the witcher 3 gwent

[@hazemshawwa1302]

Dude you so much look like Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park

[@joseardzm]

How does some rules work for attack and lock? I tried to lock an enemy Black Rayla with Dimeritium Chackles, but option was not available. In the same round Vissegerd couldn't attack some enemy units on the field.

[@Marie_me_]

Omg!!! I’m so confused!!! 😩😩😩
