the "Move phase", where players play their purple "movement" cards to determine the distance between the character and the opponent. The player with the higher move points gets to attack first. In the "Attack phase", the player can use red "sword" cards to attack at close range or green "gun" cards to attack at long range; playing the appropriate cards according to the distance would accumulate attack points, which are matched against the opponent's defence points. The party being attacked would be in the "Defence phase", where the player can use blue "shield" cards to accumulate defence points. The attack and defence points represent how many dies are rolled, and only the dies with the emblem facing up are counted towards the actual attack/defence points. Damage is calculated by subtracting the actual attack points by the defence points. The attacker and defender then switch roles, and the player who attacked first now enter the "Defence phase" while the other player enter the "Attack phase". After the two players have exchanged blows, the turn ends. In all phases the character can activate their individual skills by playing the specific combination of cards for those skills. The skills' effects vary, and most need the yellow "special" cards to activate. There are also miscellaneous cards which allow the player to heal HP, recover from

The "rare" version also contains a part of the character's story, for which there are five for each character. There are also "Rebirth" character cards, representing the character coming back to life, which are powerful versions with a new skillset. Some characters also have "Ep" cards, which are like "rare" cards but with additional stories.

Dungeons, including the boss dungeons, have to be discovered using AP and setting an amount of time to search. The longer the search, the more likely that a rare dungeon containing valuables or bosses shows up.
474:: A game mode where many players can take on a monster with very high HP. Players can determine how many turns they want to spend fighting the monster (with 1 turn corresponding to 1 AP). Players are ranked in each raid instance by how much they contributed to defeat the monster, and high ranking players in each raid instance can get valuable prizes.

The game involves up to 3 character (or monster) cards duelling another party of 1~3 characters or monsters. At the beginning of each turn (the "Draw phase"), each player draws a certain number of event cards with points on them, which determines the character's actions this turn. After drawing comes

A character can level up by collecting a certain amount of the cards at the current level. A normal card can also be made into a "rare" card by combining 10 of the normal cards at the current level, a "rare" card at the previous level (if applicable), and additional crafting materials. "Rebirth"
