Battles where order matters
Spend energy, play cards, and stack statuses into powerful chains. Enemy intent is visible before your turn, so winning comes from the choice you make now, not fast clicking.
Every route changes the run
Battles, events, shops, and rest sites create different problems. Take the guaranteed reward or risk a tougher path for a stronger combo. The choice is yours.
New cards for the next attempt
Beat bosses, open packs, and discover new waifus. The collection has four rarities, and every pack brings you closer to a guaranteed rare card.
Duplicates become power
Collect three copies of a card and fuse them into a stronger version. New effects and better stats can turn an ordinary find into the core of your deck.
Level up your favorite cards
Cards earn experience in battle. Levels unlock new art, stat bonuses, and dialogue. Build more than a powerful deck: build your own team.
Every loss brings you closer
Souls carry over between runs. Spend them on permanent health, energy, gold, and extra-card upgrades, then start the next attempt stronger.
