High Voltage isMarvel Snap’s latest game mode, introduced as a limited-time event—similar to the previous one, Deadpool’s Diner. This time, the developer, Second Dinner, emphasizes the joy of winning fast-pacedMarvel Snapgames without any high stakes on the losing side. If you win, you earn exciting rewards, but if you lose, you don’t lose anything at all.
Inthe officialMarvel Snapblog post detailing the game mode, the developers explained their intentions: “Where Battle Mode explored longer matches with lots of information about your opponent’s plays, and Deadpool’s Diner explored making snapping and retreating even more central to the gameplay, High Voltage explores the other ends of each spectrum. You’ll be playing fast-paced games with lots of hidden information, and the focus will be on surprising combinations of cards.”

InMarvel Snap’s High Voltage mode, the Arc Reactor replaces the Snap button. Its role is to randomly distribute two to five Energy points to players at the start of each round. The catch is that the Reactor’s Energy points stack even after you use them all.
For example, if you start the first round with three Energy and spend it all, the next turn, you’ll have a minimum of five Energy points, up to eight. The Reactor will provide you with an additional two to five points, stacking with the previous round’s Energy.
Best Decks and Cards for the High Voltage Mode
Currently, standard Zoo andHela decksare performing well in the High Voltage mode. However, you can also opt for a Hulking deck featuring Blob, Alioth, Skaar, andBaron Zemo, which is currently the top-performing setup.
Due to the fast-paced, RNG-based nature of High Voltage mode, there are multiple strategies for building a deck, making it difficult to identify just one or two as the best for this event.
Based on current stats, the following cards have been dominating High Voltage so far, allowing you to build powerful decks around them:
Cards That Are Banned in High Voltage
High Voltage’s quick and short gameplay can lead to potential exploits. To prevent unfair advantages and game-breaking combos, Second Dinner has banned three cards in the mode: Galactus, Magik, and Black Widow.
How to Unlock Agony with Volts
You need 11,000 Volts to unlock Agony for free. Each time you win a High Voltage match, you earn only 20 Volts, which is minimal compared to the total required. A more effective way to unlock this card is by completing daily event missions every eight hours, which can yield up to 2,475 Volts a day. These missions refresh every eight hours, allowing for a total of six objectives each day.
By maximizing your daily mission points, you can unlock Agony in six days, provided you start grinding at the beginning of the event.
If you can’t wait for the eight-hour daily resets, you can use Gold to refill your daily missions.
