BedWars Update Guide: Fortuna Buff, Card Picks, and Winning Strategies

The latest BedWars update spotlight has been on Fortuna, a kit built around earning and improving card attacks through eliminations. Gameplay from the update shows a larger set of card upgrade choices, rerolls, and stronger late-game card effects.

Because BedWars balance can change quickly, check Fortuna’s in-game kit menu and card upgrade screen before relying on a specific effect in ranked or casual matches.

What Changed for Fortuna in the BedWars Update?

The update gameplay shows Fortuna receiving more upgrade variety as the player earns eliminations. Instead of treating cards as a small side tool, players can build toward different damage, crowd-control, and multi-target effects.

Update feature shown	What it does	Why it matters
Elimination progress	Card upgrade selections appeared after a set number of eliminations.	Aggressive players can improve their card setup throughout the match.
Multiple upgrade choices	Players can choose between several card effects.	Fortuna can be built for single-target damage, spread attacks, or control.
Rerolls	A reroll could replace an offered card choice.	You can avoid taking an upgrade that does not fit your strategy.
Visible upgrade tracking	The interface displayed current card upgrades.	It is easier to remember your build and plan the next choice.
Stronger final upgrades	Late selections included larger damage-focused card options.	Fortuna can become more dangerous in extended matches.

In the featured gameplay, the player described receiving a new selection around every three eliminations. Confirm the exact requirement in your own match, since thresholds and card pools may be adjusted in future BedWars updates.

Fortuna Card Upgrades Shown in Gameplay

Several Fortuna upgrades appeared during the update footage. Some had clear descriptions on screen, while others were selected without a full tooltip being visible.

Card upgrade	Effect shown or described	Best use case
Mini-Sized	Throws nine cards at 50% damage each.	Pressure nearby opponents or cover a wider area.
Oversize	Throws one card with increased damage; the footage described it as four times damage.	A higher-risk single-target hit against a nearby enemy.
Electrifying	The final card chains static to up to three enemies.	Team fights and crowded mid-map battles.
Sticky Cards	The final card grounds an enemy for three seconds.	Stopping a player from escaping, bridging away, or repositioning.
Decay	The final card applies Decay for 10 seconds.	Adding pressure after an initial hit.
Explosive	An explosive card effect was demonstrated.	Damaging an opponent near a bed defense or in a tight space.
Scorched	This upgrade appeared as a selectable effect.	Check its live tooltip for its current damage or status effect.
Sharper Cards	This upgrade appeared as a selectable effect.	Review the in-game description before picking it.
Energy Drain	This upgrade appeared as a selectable effect.	Useful only if its current effect supports your plan.
Critical Strike	This upgrade appeared as a selectable effect.	A potential damage-focused option, depending on the live tooltip.
Greater Draw	This upgrade appeared as a selectable effect.	Check the card menu to see how it affects your current build.

How to Choose the Right Fortuna Upgrades

Fortuna works best when you choose upgrades based on the match situation rather than selecting the same option every time.

Pick multi-target effects in team modes

In Doubles, Squads, or other team-focused matches, enemies often stand close together while defending beds or contesting emeralds. Effects such as Electrifying can be more useful when several opponents are within range.

Use these upgrades to disrupt a group before your team pushes the bed defense.

Use Sticky Cards to secure eliminations

A grounded opponent has fewer ways to escape. Sticky Cards can be especially useful when an enemy is:

Running across a narrow bridge
Trying to retreat to their generator
Carrying emeralds away from mid
Backing up from a bed defense
Attempting to create distance during a sword fight

Landing a control effect is not a substitute for positioning. Avoid chasing too far from your team’s bed unless you know where the remaining opponents are.

Choose Mini-Sized for close pressure

Mini-Sized sends multiple lower-damage cards rather than one large hit. This can be useful when an enemy is close, moving unpredictably, or standing near teammates.

Its value comes from coverage, not necessarily from landing every card on one target. Try it around base entrances, bridges, and mid-map fights where opponents have limited room to dodge.

Save Oversize for high-value targets

Oversize trades multiple cards for one heavier hit. It can be a strong choice when you expect to fight one opponent at a time, especially after their bed is broken.

However, a single large card may be less forgiving than a wider card spread. If you are facing several enemies, a chain, control, or area-focused upgrade may offer more consistent value.

A Practical Fortuna Match Plan

Fortuna needs eliminations to progress, so your early-game goal should be to fight efficiently without throwing away your own bed.

Match stage	Main goal	Recommended approach
Early game	Earn initial eliminations and learn your offered upgrades.	Rush carefully, protect your bed, and avoid taking fights without blocks or a retreat path.
Mid game	Build a card combination that matches the lobby.	Choose crowd control against mobile enemies or spread effects against grouped teams.
Emerald phase	Convert map control into safer pressure.	Take emeralds when possible, but do not ignore an exposed bed or a teammate under attack.
Bed break phase	Use cards to create an opening.	Hit defenders first, then push with tools suited to their defense.
Late game	Eliminate remaining players without overcommitting.	Carry blocks, watch void routes, and avoid fighting multiple armored enemies alone.

BedWars Strategy Tips After the Fortuna Buff

Prioritize safe eliminations

A Fortuna player benefits from eliminations, but reckless chasing can still lose the game. Focus on enemies who are separated from their teammates, low on health, or crossing open bridges.

If an opponent’s bed is still alive, they may provide more opportunities for card progress. Still, your team should prioritize winning the match instead of unnecessarily extending a dangerous game.

Keep a route back to base

The update gameplay showed how quickly a strong card setup can be lost if your bed is broken and you are caught far from safety.

Before pushing another base:

Carry enough blocks for a retreat.
Check whether another team is moving toward your bed.
Avoid spending all resources before a fight.
Keep an escape option if you are holding emeralds.
Watch for players waiting on bridges to knock you into the void.

Bring the correct tools for bed defenses

Card damage helps against defenders, but it does not replace bed-breaking tools. If a team has strong layers such as ceramic or obsidian, make sure you have an appropriate pickaxe before committing to a long push.

Use cards to force defenders away from the bed, then switch quickly to your tools while your team covers you.

Use rerolls with a purpose

Do not reroll automatically. Save rerolls for situations where none of the available choices support your current match.

For example:

Reroll if you are in a team fight but only have a narrow single-target option.
Keep a control effect if opponents are constantly escaping.
Consider a damage option when you are preparing to break a final bed.
Review every card’s live description before spending a reroll.
