Tribes

Wildfrost features 3 different Tribes, each of which has their own unique mechanics and playstyle. Varying from a focus on elements like Snow or Spice, to summoning versatile Shades, to reliance on Junk, the style of each Tribe must be mastered separately. Players start with the Snowdwellers Tribe, while the rest are unlocked through playing the game.

Each Tribe has their own pool of Companions, Clunkers, Items, and Charms that can appear in a run, along with a number of cards that are shared across all Tribes. When beginning a run, the player chooses a Tribe and then picks one of three Leaders from that Tribe. This determines the available cards in the run, as well as the starting deck. (The very first run has its own unique starting deck, however.)

Snowdwellers

Snowdwellers Tribe Flag

A collection of clans who banded together in the town of Snowdwell to lead the battle against the Wildfrost. Mastering the elements is key to their strategy in battle, using snow and shrooms to hinder enemies, shells to protect themselves, and flaming hot spice to gain more power.

The Snowdwellers are the first playable Tribe. They utilize relatively straightforward mechanics, although they are still very powerful in their own right. Their unique mechanics are Shroom, Shell, and Spice, and they also specialize in healing and Snow. Their starting deck consists of:

Card Name	Health	Attack	Description
Scrappy Sword		2	A traditional trusty weapon
Scrappy Sword		2	A traditional trusty weapon
Scrappy Sword		2	A traditional trusty weapon
Snow Stick		1	Apply 2 Snow
