Vanessa Written Strategy
Start with pressure, then pick the damage type
Vanessa is strongest when the first shops create immediate tempo. Ammo weapons can win early fights, while Pufferfish, Weather Glass, and aquatic friends give her a Poison or Burn pivot when the board needs longer fights.
Do not split ammo and damage-over-time too late
The safest Vanessa runs use weapons to bridge into one clear payoff. If reload support appears, keep investing in ammo. If Poison or Burn support appears, prioritize activation speed, Haste, and space-efficient support instead of buying every weapon.
What to watch in videos
Look for when the player stops buying generic weapons and starts protecting the real win condition. Vanessa mistakes usually happen when a good early board becomes too wide and loses upgrade priority.
