Marta CardaB-Tier

Diamond in the Rough — Extreme Growth

Marines · Supply Cost: 0

Out Of The Craters
Gains bonus stats when below 50% HP. Thrives under pressure.

Overview

Marta Carda is the ultimate underdog with the highest Growth Potential (9) in MENACE. Her starting stats are the worst in the game, but her Out Of The Craters perk activates when HP drops below 50%, granting significant combat bonuses. Combined with her extreme growth curve, Carda transforms from the weakest leader into a late-game powerhouse. She's a high-risk, high-reward pick for players who enjoy comeback mechanics.

Strengths

  • + Highest Growth Potential (9) in the entire game
  • + Out Of The Craters: powerful low-HP combat bonuses
  • + Zero supply cost — freely deployable
  • + Faction cost factor 0.8 makes promotions cheaper
  • + Incredible late-game ceiling if kept alive

Weaknesses

  • - Worst starting stats across almost all attributes
  • - Perk requires dangerous low-HP play to activate
  • - Toughness 45 means she takes MORE damage
  • - Low Vitality (40) — tiny HP pool
  • - Perk activation is inherently risky — easy to lose her
  • - Low AGI (57) — few action points per turn

Best Loadout

SMG or Carbine for mobility. Haemocetan and Travodin for sustain at low HP. Heavier armor to survive the HP threshold. Benzofinil to remove fatigue. Play carefully and strategically.

# Frequently Asked Questions

Is Marta Carda worth the effort?

For experienced players, yes — Growth Potential 9 is unmatched, and she becomes terrifying in late game. For beginners, the risk of losing her early is too high. She's a 'challenge run' leader who rewards mastery.

How do I safely trigger Out Of The Craters?

Intentionally take controlled damage early (e.g., from low-damage enemies). Never activate it against heavy hitters. Use Haemocetan to stabilize at low HP while the perk is active. Edwin Pike's suppression immunity helps keep her squad functional.

When does Carda become strong?

Around promotion level 4-5, her stats catch up to mid-tier leaders. By promotion 7-8, she surpasses most A-tier leaders. Her Growth Potential 9 means she continues scaling when others have plateaued.
