Next Steps – Endeavor Starter Deck
After buying the Endeavor Starter Deck, these are some next steps you can do to improve your new deck and step further into competitive play!
Endeavor’s Enhances are all about trading health for power! You can pay health while attacking to either make your attacks stronger or faster, and you can do the same while defending to make your Rival’s attacks slower or weaker!
Attacks like Blazing Fury chip away at your opponent’s Health and resources even if your opponent blocks! Prominence Burn is Endeavor’s top-end threat, capable of putting out significant damage while clearing your card pool for more attacks! Endeavor’s kit is also supported by a suite of Foundations that provide benefits from losing life, such as Quick to Act and Arrogant Smirk.

Endeavor pays his own health to make his attacks big, and so the best places to start are on increasing Endeavor’s durability and making sure his big attacks don’t get blocked.
One With Nature from My Hero Academia: Heroes Clash lets you discard cards you don’t need to make your attacks harder to block and give +1 damage as well!
Since Endeavor wants to be paying life to swing with big attacks, it’s best to make sure each attack you send is as difficult to block for your Rival as possible. Multiple copies of One With Nature can let you bury your Rival with one, unblockable strike!
In long, drawn-out matches, characters like Endeavor have to worry about running out of life to pay for their abilities. Cards like Super Rejuvenation from My Hero Academia: Base Set and Excited For Blood from My Hero Academia: Crimson Rampage let you claw back some of the life that you pay to your other effects, and otherwise survive turns you couldn’t have.
3-difficulty Attacks with relevant text can be hard to find, but Red Guard fits like a glove into Endeavor’s deck.
As Endeavor can easily decrease your Rival’s attack’s Speed, Red Guard can usually block anything coming your way – it even completely blocks cards like Electric Jolt and cards with the Keyword “Throw”!
Being able to slide in a Red Guard on the offense is no joke either – its low difficulty lets you sneak another attack at the end of large strings, and Endeavor can give it some serious damage!
Red Guard as well as many other promo cards are obtainable through the Universus Game Network. Learn more about this program here, and how you can get more involved with your local community to snag some sweet cards!
