Cards

Cards are the way your character interacts with his environment, buffs himself, or attacks enemies.

Types of Cards
There are eight types of cards in the game - Action, Attack, Block, Effect, Equipment, Potion, Skill, and Spell.

Action
An Action card is often some type of behavior that allows you to gain cards, gain moves, or forces your opponent to do something (such as losing a move).

Attack
An Attack card often takes the form of a direct attack against your opponent. As these cards get upgraded, they can deal more direct damage to the opponent or gain an new behavior in addition to the direct attack (such as drawing a card).

Block
Block is a type of card that adds defenses to your character until the beginning of your next turn. In the simpler form of Block cards, such as Simple Block, the amount is fixed. In more complex cards, the amount of defense can vary depending on circumstances.

Effect
Effects are often passive abilities that come from the character's selected class, race, or path. Some effects are permanent while others carry a cooldown.

Effects can range from manipulating the number of cards your character starts with to limiting the amount of XP your character earns after each successful battle.

Equipment
Equipment cards are cards that do not have a cost, but buff your character in some way. Some equipment cards may be triggers that cause additional damage or perhaps prevent specific types of damage.
