Abilities
Card Throw
Pressing will summon 4 cards that lock onto the closest enemy marked by a reticle and chase the target until they reach their victim, regardless of whether they teleport. Each card deals damage to the victim and applies effects based on the upgrades the Fortuna user acquires. This ability has a base 12 second cooldown, which can be decreased with the Quick Draw upgrade. Both players and entities can be targeted by this ability. Base cards deal damage worth to 4% of the basic maximum health of the players hit.
Upgrading Cards
Fortuna's card upgrades are shown on the left of the screen with a vertical upgrade bar on the right of the upgrade slots that fills by dealing damage and killing players. When full, he can obtain an upgrade card by pressing the " CHOOSE UPGRADE" button that appears below the progress bar when it is full or the key, which open up a GUI with the title, "Pick a card, any card!", where he can select 1 of 3 cards to give additional effects, at the same time, the user gains damage by an additional 1. After an upgrade card is selected, the progress bar resets, the " CHOOSE UPGRADE" button disappears...

Trivia
- Obtaining all upgrade slots takes roughly ~12 kills.
- Obtaining all upgrade slots took roughly ~8 kills before September 29, 2023.
- Holding a forged weapon will allow cards to deal additional damage based on its forge tier.
- This also makes the card trigger volcanic once the forged weapon is held.
- Fortuna is able to deal damage to entities to gain upgrade slots.
- However, dealing damage to an entity to gain slots is significantly reduced.
- Fortuna is able to mark and send cards to players that are invisible, or disguised.
- However, it is unable to mark Milo if he's not close enough, this is similar to Smoke.
- In Lucky Blocks, various items such as the first aid kit use the R key bind as well, which conflicts with the card throw making throwing cards and activating the backpack's passive at the same time.
- This has been fixed with the addition of configurable key binds and changes to default key binds.
- Fortuna is most likely named after the Roman goddess of luck and fortune, who shares the same name.
- Fortuna is one of the five kits with their name being that of a god or similar to a god, along with Ares, Zephyr, Nyx and Vulcan.
- If Fortuna controls an item such as a raven, he can use his ability on the target. This has no effect.
- If a player gets out of attacking range after card activation, the cards will have no effect and the cooldown will always be 14s even if you have the Quick Draw upgrade.
- This is especially visible on servers with higher ping.
- It is unknown whether or not this is intentional, but it has been like this ever since the kit's release.
- At the moment of throwing the card, if the locked enemy leaves the target's attack range but someone else enters the attack area, the card will change the target to that person. Switching the user's gaze at the moment of throwing a card so that the ability to mark enemies changes will also apply.
- Fortuna resembles a jester.
- Before September 15, 2023, the explosive upgrade could destroy obsidian.
- Aerodynamic will deal higher knockback if the enemy is in the air.
- If cards fail to attack a player, the quick draw upgrade will not affect card cooldown.
- Dealing the damage in multiple hits fills the rage bar slower than dealing all the damage in just a single attack.
- If the player upgrades card damage in a certain order, the card damage will also change based on that order.
- Energy Drain still heals the user even though they cannot deal damage, as long as the card-throwing skill is successfully activated. Similar to Scorched, the card will apply burn to the targeted target whether dealing damage or not.
- Initially, the hotkey to update the upgrade GUI was the G button instead of V and Q as before, later changed to V, then Q (Hotkey can be switched), and even the message from UPGRADE AVAILABLE also converted to CHOOSE UPGRADE.
- Upon Fortuna's release, the Critical Strike upgrade was the only enchantment-based upgrade that applied a level 2 enchantments, with the other two (Scorched, Energy Drain) applying their enchantments at level 3 instead.
- Knockback from the Aerodynamics upgrade stacks with knockback applied through the Explosive upgrade's explosion.
- The combined knockback is sometimes so strong that it can cause the target to trigger the Anti-Cheat.
- Fortuna was thought to have been nerfed a total of 14 times, but there has been a number of secret, almost unnoticeable nerfs.
- Some of the nerfs people were able to find were slightly reducing the maximum card throwing range, reducing energy drain healing per tick heal from 4 to 3 and then to 2, and increasing card unlocking speed by 33% after June 27, 2023.
- Cards are affected by the damage increase from Ares' Favor, meaning that each card can deal slightly more damage than the one thrown before it.
