Tension Cards are powerful battle boosters in Tribe Nine that can dramatically impact your team's performance. With over 90 cards available, choosing the right combination of five cards is crucial for success.

Important considerations before reviewing the best cards:

• Star rating doesn't always indicate effectiveness
