How to complete the Gift of Gab debates in Where Winds Meet

Gift of the Gab debates in Where Winds Meet are a bit like the indie card game Slay the Spire. You have to exploit your circumscribed amount of energy to play cards from your hand Which either damage your opponent or shield yourself from harm.

At the beginning of the match, you must choose a rhetorical framework:

  • Bluster defeats Taunt
  • Provocation trumps denial
  • Repulse defeats Filibuster
  • And Filibuster defeats Bluster

Once you have chosen the best approach, you enter the match. In in the lower right corner is the amount of energy you have available, which will regenerate in real time.

When drawing cards, play those that you have enough energy to defend against your opponent’s spikes or counter with your own.
