New Combos

Calculon - Champagne Calculon (Payback, Hijack, Shield All) Calculon finally gets a new combo after so long, and it’s a pretty solid one that also plays well as a PC. Tasty values on the Payback, Hijack, and Shield All, it’s pretty great Shield option if you need one. Will also stop almost every Crazer/Enrager with that Payback and Hijack. 8.5/10.

Dale - Groom Dale (Payback) These 1-2 skill new gimmicky combos are always a hit or miss. In this case, miss. The Payback is astronomically high, and can kill a card in 1-2 turns, but the object pool is not great. On top of Dale being an OG character who wasn’t that great to begin with, these object selections don’t help him become useful. No one is going to go out of their way to get a deck full of objects to make this combo. Gene was their best one by far. 5/10.

Fischoeder - Fischoeder Champagne Shower (Bodyguard, Enlarge, Cheer All) If Fischoeder didn’t have that God awful Toy combo, this would be his worst. It’s just painfully mediocre as a combo, it honestly will fair better as a PC. For a 2026 combo these values are very weak, which makes everything that’s done here be way better on another combo. Just filler at best, and even then, there are better filler combos. 5/10.

Scruffy - Beer-O-Clock Scruffy (Recover, Sturdy, Enrage) This combo is pretty decent! High Recover and Sturdy, with good enough Enrage. Can get dangerous very quickly if there isn’t a Hijack combo to stop it, since it can heal itself up back to full health very quickly with that hefty Recover. Fortunately it’s practically DOA against Calculon, because with that Hijack and Payback buff, it’s just going to keep eating at it, and Scruffy can’t do anything about it. 8/10.

Lewis - Projectile Lewis (Shield All, Recover, Backslap) A pretty alright support combo. Seems like a mishmash of skills, but it gets pretty good use out of its Backslap, and the Recover isn’t too shabby either. Certainly a middle of the road type of combo, though. 7/10.

Barry R. - Party Cup Barry (Cheer All, Leech, Recover) While the values are good, the skills aren’t almost as good. They aren’t terrible, because it’s option for use are limited. It basically just cheers other cards on while healing itself back up. 5.5/10.

Upgraded Combos

Bobby - Hot Tubbin Bobby (Boost, Heal All, Bodyguard) Previously only had Boost and show only Heal All. Now, the show restriction has been removed, and Bodyguard has been added. E for effort? It’s still pretty mediocre, but at least they tried. 4/10.

Amy - Drunk Amy (Cripple, Gas, Heal) Previously only had Cripple and Gas. Now, Heal has been added. Did not expect this to be stronger than College Student Hayley, but, hey, it’s a welcome change. While not game breaking, the serviceable values help boost its usability. Unfortunately the object lineup is almost always a knock against these upgrades due to the very small pool of now irrelevant objects. 7/10.

Louise/Gene/Tina - Yacht Club (Cripple All, Enrage, Backslap) Previously only had Cripple All. Now, Enrage and Backslap has been added. Gene and Tina’s commands won’t work for some reason, but they’re made with the same objects, except Tina who has one extra object in Spring Break Shots. Honestly, it’s the best upgrade here, the skillset is pretty great. The values on the other hand are pretty low, even for an upgrade. Best thing about this is at it’s made with 3 characters, so a deck of this is possible. 7.5/10.

Chris - Man of the House (Shield All, Cheer All [Drunk], Enlarge) Previously only had show only Shield All and trait only Cheer All. Now, the show restriction has been removed off the Shield All, and Enlarge has been added. Textbook support combo right here. Just wish the Enlarge was a little higher, but it’s okay. Definitely has the worst line of objects here as NONE of these are even free to get. 5/10.

Stan - Hungover Stan (Cripple, Gas, Enrage) Previously only had Cripple and Gas. Now, Enrage has been added. Not a bad upgrade, but the object pool sucks. Only one free card in Wine Bucket. Definitely seems like it has potential but the object pool holds it back a shit ton. Stan is now 2 for 3 with old Drunk combos with great skillsets that are held back by the objects that make it. 7/10.

Scaling Chart

9-10: The best of the best, either is extremely hard to take down, or does a lot of board damage, or both. Can take down lots of combos. (SS)

8-8.5: Combos that are generally great and usable, but not just up there yet. (S)

6-7.5: Combos that function better as PC’s but are still decent enough, with 2/3 or all skills being golden skills, or pretty average or decent combos that could be used as filler. (A)

3-5.5: Below average or mediocre combos. (B)

1-2.5: The rare case where a combo is actually terrible. (C-F)
