Match Overview
Last updated
Matches are 1-on-1 against a Rival, with the two Duelists taking turns. Be faster than your Rival and bring the Rival's HP to 0 or below first to claim victory!
| Match Setup | Store Market Cards | Each player picks 4 types of cards to put up for sale in the Market (cards to store). • You'll get these cards from the Market later, so these are the cards you'll be playing with. |
|---|---|---|
| Deciding the First Player | The First Player is chosen at random. • If the match ends with both players at the same HP, the First Player wins. • If the Second Player takes a lethal hit, they get a Last Turn. The match then begins with the First Player. | |
| Playing the Match (Actions in a Turn) | Wish Phase | Either Wish or skip this phase. • If you choose to Wish, you gain 1 Wishing Star and skip straight to the Cleanup Phase. • If you skip the Wish Phase, you continue to the Action Phase as normal. |
| Action Phase | Spend Action Points to play Action Cards from your hand. • You gain 1 Action Point each turn. • Any Action Points you have left disappear at the end of your turn. • You can't play an Action Card if you don't have enough Action Points to cover its AP Cost. ◦ Try gaining Action Points through other card effects. | |
| Buy Phase | Play Currency Cards from your hand and buy the cards you want from the Market. • You gain Gems equal to the Value printed on each Currency Card. • You can only buy once per turn. ◦ Other effects can give you extra buys. • Cards you gain can't be used right away. ◦ Gained cards sit in the play area and go to your Discard Pile at the end of your turn. Once your Discard Pile is shuffled into a new Draw Deck, you can use them when you draw them into your hand. | |
| Combat Phase | Play Weapon Cards from your hand to deal damage to your Rival. • Weapon Cards deal damage equal to their combined Damage. | |
| Cleanup Phase | Discard all cards in your hand and draw 5. | |
| End of Match | End of Match | The final state of the match is evaluated to decide which Duelist wins. |
