Choose from eight classes, each with its own special set of cards including followers, spells, and amulets. Uncover the deck-building potential of over 4000 cards.
There are three kinds of cards: followers, spells, and amulets. Each card's play point cost is displayed on the top left corner.
![Followers](/assets/images/gameguide_outline-image-04.jpg?rel20240701)
Your followers do most of the action in battle, directly attacking enemy leaders and followers. Some have other useful abilities in addition to attacking.
- Cost
- shows how many play points are required to play this card. This number is shown on the upper left.
- Attack
- shows how much damage this follower deals when it fights an enemy. This number is shown on the bottom left.
- Defense

- Ability

Starting in the middle of the game, you can evolve a limited number of your followers. Evolve your followers at the right time to turn the match in your favor.
![Spells](/assets/images/gameguide_outline-image-06.jpg?rel20240701)
Spell cards have an effect that activates just once. Unlike followers and amulets, spells don't take up a slot in your area.
They become shadows immediately after they're used.
![Amulets](/assets/images/gameguide_outline-image-07.jpg?rel20240701)
Amulet cards have effects that support you in battle. However, they can't attack or be attacked like follower cards.
