What Junkyard Actually Does
Junkyard is a decree that adds 9 random trash cards to your hand. To turn those cards into combat buffs, have a Recycler beside the plots you want to strengthen before throwing the trash into the pit.
The decree's effect does not specify a quest starting board, opening sequence, or victory condition. For a Quest Mode attempt, follow the challenge's own rules rather than treating this Recycler setup as a guaranteed quest solution.
Use Junkyard With a Recycler
- Place a Recycler beside the combat plots you want to strengthen. Its buffs reach adjacent plots, so position your important attackers within that reach.
- Choose Junkyard when offered to receive 9 random trash cards. Plan around having cards to discard rather than receiving a particular trash card.
- Throw the trash cards into the pit. Each throw makes adjacent plots gain +2% damage and HP per Recycler level.
Avoid Discarding Before Your Setup Is Ready
Check the Recycler's neighbors before discarding your trash. A troop away from the Recycler receives none of that building's buffs, so a scattered layout wastes the opportunity to strengthen your intended attackers.
Keep cards you still need for your planned plays. Decide which plots you want to support before committing the rest of your hand to the pit.
