What to study

The combat HUD at its richest: the objectives panel pins the mission (Recover Hydra Data, terminals remaining) to the top-left, red and green rings mark valid and invalid targets on the floor, and the selected card enlarges over the hand with its full rules text (Knee Strike, Taunt, gain Block equal to damage dealt) while the hand, hero status with the Binary meter, and the Card Plays / Redraws / Moves / Items economy stay visible around it. Two hand cards carry a NOT ENOUGH HEROISM state, so the resource gate is readable at a glance. Frame at about 0:30 in the Card Gameplay trailer (Steam). Flaw: one enemy's health-bar text is partly clipped by a crate.
