Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario during ghost investigations. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Card Use:
Due to the inherent risks, utilizing Tarot Cards near a safe haven (e.g., hiding spot, entrance) is advisable. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.
Card Mechanics:
Each card instantly activates upon use. However, "The Fool" acts as a wildcard, producing no effect. Up to ten cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Breakdown:
The following table outlines the ten possible cards, their effects, and draw probabilities:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | ±25% sanity (green/red burn) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its preferred room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Complete sanity depletion (0%) | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card before nullifying effects | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates an extended Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer) | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instant revival of a deceased teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instant death for the user | 1% |
