The Swamp card is almost completely useless

[RandomHoneySlime]

It only has three "uses"
To spawn the frog king(boss)
To spawn a goblin archer(unkillable)
To get the tripped achievement
Then it becomes completely useless
The Swamp Card~
1.Slows you down in a already slow game(overwrites the beacon)
2.Prevents all but potion healing
3.Spawn the annoying mosquitoes(high evasion)

Mosquitos have a purpose. You haven't found it yet.

I mean sure, mosquitoes can blow up, but I feel like I kill them 90% of the time before that happens. And all I get for my efforts is a bunch of drained hp, lol.

Try to use the combo Vampire Mansion + Swamp with the Necro on Chapter IV and you'll see how helpful they are. :)

Swamp+vampires makes for just about the most simple run you can imagine. The main downside is that unlike many other tiles you do not get any resources for passing over a swamp.

And? Just farm orb of "fighting lots of enemies" (forgot the name) then alchemize them. Put swamps, spider nests, vampire mansions and battlefields and use necro.

spider nests

You likely want to avoid spiders if using necro so that everything you kill has a soul so you can get thousands of extra health from what you kill (which ends up being way more than what the armor gives you).

Necro has no armor (use the trait for more magical armor), vamps and mosquitoes will never hurt you (if you have the trait to share damage, if not then reset), use desert and forest cards cards. The spiders here are just to be sure that you always fight 5 enemies at once, and they will all blow up with the mosquitoes.

Sometime I use them on Warrior to raise damage through Strong Aftertaste.
When you get into a situation where the monsters don't hit you hard enough and you can't spend potions fast enought, before they reach cap, to keep the skill useful it is one, most practical, of several options to guaranteed spend your potions - set up a couple of swamps to allow you to harm yourself with your own vampirism.
In addition, mosquitoes have souls as well, and they also help to increase health through the crypt.

Gentle reminder that more cards and at least 1 more class are coming (judging by the "broken" item slows no class is currently using).
Maybe the swamp just ties into things we don't yet have.

Wouldn't surprise me if there was going to be a way in the future to make swamp an integral part of some combo or other.

Where did you heard we will get more content?

I dimly remember reading something to the effect of "if it does well, we'll get more content" from the official Discord, but I also inferred this from the fact that there are two additional item slots for hero characters that none of the current characters use.

Logically we'd need at least 1 additional card or patch that makes those available for use, but a new character class would be more likely.

I'd also say it would be silly not to think about DLC or additional content with 500k happy campers highly anticipating moar. >_>

There's a news post on it. In the one where they talk about the number of players.

Swamp is a great card actually. I have to play with no supply items otherwise the game is too easy. My last run was with Rogue using Smith, Swamp, Vampire, Outpost, Forest/Thicket, River, Village, Book, and Beacon. I beat all four bosses with this approach, and the Vampire + Mosquito combination was partially responsible for the strategy being viable. Again, this is with no supply items.
