Deckalypse resources survive a failed run; Recon Post is a permanent 300-resource upgrade that previews non-boss enemy plans.
A failed Deckalypse run still feeds the next one. Resources from defeated enemies return to camp, where Base Operations raises party attributes and the Forge reshapes cards. The August 27 UTC patch also adds Recon Post, a one-time 300-resource purchase that remains unlocked permanently.
Recon Post shows each living non-boss enemy's queued plan for the whole player turn: attack and damage, incoming block, a debuff, or movement one distance band closer. It displays three queued actions and a +N marker when more are waiting. Bosses intentionally hide their plans.
Read the upgrade before buying it
At Base Operations, read the visible resource cost and exact effect. The published functions include energy cap, card draw, health, damage, card forging, and Recon Post. Recon Post improves planning information rather than party stats; buy it when seeing enemy intent is worth more than the next direct stat upgrade.
The Vehicle is a second published permanent system. The developer describes rebuilding it part by part for damage, survivability, and healing improvements. Gambit's Trade is another route: it turns kills into relics that interact with debuffs. These descriptions establish the roles of the systems, but they do not establish exact costs, unlock order, or the best relic for every party.
Pick the upgrade that answers the failure
Choose energy or card draw when turns end with useful cards stranded in hand. Choose health, damage, or Vehicle improvements when the party cannot survive or finish a known encounter. Choose the Forge when a specific card needs reshaping. Choose Recon Post when hidden non-boss intent is causing avoidable damage or wasted block.
If infection ended the run, use the Deckalypse infection and cure guide. For turn-level spending, use the shared energy guide.
