Civilian ability cards
The Civilian side draws from a shared ability-card pool each round. Around fifteen cards are confirmed in the in-game menu. Most cards show only a flavor quote in the shop — exact cooldowns and numbers aren't all listed on the card, so we've kept the descriptions to what the game confirms.

Civilian synergy cards
A synergy appears when both required abilities share one of the three cards offered at the start of a round. It is a named two-ability card, not a third ability or a separate Civilian character.
Loveshot
Revolver + Caretaker
Revolver becomes the Loveshot variant. Successful shots add healing to its ranged disruption; exact shot and heal values can change between builds.
CarePad
Caretaker + BonusPad
BonusPad becomes a healing pad instead of its normal speed pad. Caretaker remains available on the same card.
Noisemaker
Bugle + Taunt
Bugle and Taunt merge into the blue Noisemaker card. Read the current in-game card and HUD for its tuned effects and values.
SweetTooth
Pie + Hotdog
Hotdog becomes the SweetTooth food variant while Pie remains the second ability. The variant changes Hotdog's healing and max-HP trade-off.
