Gambit – The Wild Card of Marvel vs Capcom 🃏

“You play the hand you’re dealt—but Gambit knows how to stack the deck.”

Gambit brings explosive flair and deadly precision to Epic Battles with a playstyle as chaotic and calculated as the Ragin' Cajun himself. His character ability leans heavily into projectile synergy, allowing him to remove cards from his side deck to power up his attacks. With careful planning, Gambit can convert his side deck into raw firepower, launching devastating assaults that are as stylish as they are effective.

Character Ability:

Twice per turn, when you perform a projectile, you may remove a card from your side deck to give it +5 damage.

This defines Gambit’s aggressive burst archetype. The side deck isn’t just a toolbox—it’s ammunition. Smart Gambit players will manage that limited pool with skill, using it for both setup and payoff.

Named Cards Breakdown

Gambit’s Royal Flush ★

If you remove 5 cards with different names when you play this attack, this is unblockable.

A powerful finisher that lives up to its name. Though it takes some setup, Royal Flush is devastating when timed right, delivering a guaranteed blow with 20 base damage. This is the ace up Gambit’s sleeve and a key win condition in high-stakes turns.

Gambit’s Dealer’s Choice ●

Shuffle X cards from your discards into your deck or side deck in any combination. X = this card’s damage.

Not only does this provide deck and side deck recovery, it scales with Gambit's enhanced damage output. After powering up a projectile, this becomes a crucial resource reset, letting Gambit loop through key effects more than any other character.

Gambit’s 52 Pickup ■

Set when you enter combat, place up to 6 cards in your discards into your side deck.

A thematic setup piece and synergy engine for Gambit’s ability and Royal Flush. By reloading the side deck, 52 Pickup keeps Gambit’s engine online and supports the long game in control-heavy matchups.

Playstyle Summary

Gambit rewards players who think ahead. His deck thrives on:

• Efficient projectile chaining
  
  

• Side deck manipulation
  
  

• Explosive finishers after key turns of setup
  
  

He plays fast and loose—glass cannon in flavor, but layered in depth. You’ll need sharp card tracking and keen risk assessment to master his style. Play your cards right, and no one walks away from the table unscathed.
