Cards
Cards are the core of your strategy in Dark Shuffle. Each card brings unique abilities, stats, and synergies to your deck. Understanding card attributes, rarities, and types is key to building a winning deck and outsmarting your opponents.
Card Anatomy
Each card displays several important attributes:
Figure: Example card layout (Typhon).
| Attribute | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | Top Left | Energy required to play the card. |
| Rarity | Top Right | How rare the card is (see Rarities). |
| Effects | Center | Special abilities, triggered by play, attack, or death (see Card Effects). |
| Attack | Bottom Left | The card's attack strength. |
| Type | Bottom Center | Card's type, which determines strengths/weaknesses (see Types). |
| Health | Bottom Right | The card's health value. |
Card Effects
Each card can have one or more effects, which activate at different times:
- Play: Triggers as soon as the card is played.
- Attack: Triggers when the card attacks a beast; stat increases are compounded.
- Death: Triggers when the card is destroyed.
Tip: Combining cards with synergistic effects can create powerful combos and turn the tide of battle!
Rarities
Rarity affects how often a card appears in drafts and its overall power level:
| Rarity | Description |
|---|---|
| Common | Most frequently seen. |
| Uncommon | Less frequent, stronger. |
| Rare | Powerful, appears rarely. |
| Epic | Very strong, very rare. |
| Legendary | The rarest and strongest. |
Info: Rarer cards are more powerful, but you'll see them less often during the draft.
Types
Card types determine strengths and weaknesses in battle:
| Type | Strong Against | Weak Against |
|---|---|---|
| Magical | Brute | Hunter |
| Brute | Hunter | Magical |
| Hunter | Magical | Brute |
| Spell | — | — |
Tip: Plan your deck and map route based on the types you draft. Check beast types and effects before choosing your path!
