El Money
Follow the Credits
The G-Nook Broker
HP 70 75 Cards
Fast strikes, Corruption debuffs, and credit manipulation.
A nimble operative who overwhelms enemies with rapid attacks and lethal Corruption. Discard cards strategically for powerful effects, stack debuffs, and turn combat into a profit center.
Death by a thousand cuts.
Starter Cards
What It Feels Like
Credits flow and enemies fall — that's the El Money guarantee. You won't overpower anyone in a straight fight. Instead, you'll dismantle them piece by piece. A Quick Jab here, a dose of Corruption there, and suddenly your opponent is bleeding out from wounds they didn't even notice. El Money plays the long game in the short term.
Your hand is your economy. Discard the right cards at the right time and watch your options multiply. Contact Corruption turns every scratch into a ticking clock. Adrenaline Rush refills your Bandwidth when the tempo demands it. And when the moment is perfect — when every debuff has stacked and every escape route is closed — The Big Score ends the negotiation permanently. In the G-Nook, every fight is a transaction. El Money always collects.
