Just yesterday I was going through Character Cards and the Play Field. Today I'm going to introduce you to 2 cards. The Action and Dramatic Cards. I'm going to start off by explaining Action Cards. Best way I can describe action cards will be like "Event Cards" in Weiss Schwarz, Spell / Sorcery Cards in MTG. Some Action Cards have bonus abilities in a seperate box below the main effect that is given when you equip it as a Set to your characters. Yep, it grants a passive boost to that particular character. Here is how an Action Card looks like:
1- COST
The cost to pay when using this Action Card. Note that Action Card's cost has a 6-sided Star Background.
2- COSTLESS
If you have up to the number of the indicated coloured cards in play, you may minus the total number of the indicated coloured cards from your summoning cost to play this card down. For example, the COSTLESS of the card above is 1 Blue Card. So if you have any 1 Blue Card in your field, the summoning cost of the above card will be 2-1 = 1. As such, you DOWN 1 energy to summon this card instead of 2.
3- MIRACLE ABILITY
Miracle Abilities of Action Cards usually state that you "Resolve the ability below when taken as Damage".
4- SITUATION BOX
Marks at which situation you can use this card. For the card above, the situation is when ATTACKING / BLOCKING.
5- ABILITY DESCRIPTION
This will be where the ability is written and how you resolve it.
6- CARD NAME
The name of the Action Card. You may put up to 3 of the same Action Cards in your Deck.
7- SERIES INDICATOR
The series where this card and its' characters are from. Dragon Ball Kai for this case.
Some Action Cards also contain series exclusive abilities like:
-One Piece > Devil Fruit Ability
-Toriko > Gourmet Ability
-Naruto Shippuuden > Ninjutsu Ability
I will cover the difference in these when I explain about the different Gameplay Mechanics of each series.
Now, for the Dramatic Cards AKA Climax Card in Weiss Schwarz. Dramatic Cards stays on the field when it is played. Its basically a Stadium Card that affects the entire field (both yours and your opponent's). This card can be removed by any player who replaces it with another Dramatic or gets retired via ability. They usually give off passive skills like "If you have 2 or more characters in play, when your characters attack, they gain BP+2000". Here is what a Dramatic Card looks like:
1- CARD NAME
The name of the Dramatic Card. You may put up to 3 of the same Dramatic Cards in your Deck.
2- SERIES INDICATOR
The series where this card and its' characters are from. Dragon Ball Kai for this case.
3- MIRACLE ABILITY
Most Miracle Abilities of Dramatic Cards are "When this card is taken as a Damage, put it into your Hand".
4- ABILITY DESCRIPTION
This will be where the ability is written and how you resolve it.
5- COST
The cost to pay when using this Dramatic Card. Note that Dramatic Card's cost has a reversed pentagonal Background.
6- COSTLESS
If you have up to the number of the indicated coloured cards in play, you may minus the total number of the indicated coloured cards from your summoning cost to play this card down. For example, the COSTLESS of the card above is 1 Blue Card. So if you have any 1 Blue Card in your field, the summoning cost of the above card will be 3-1 = 2. As such, you DOWN 2 energy to summon this card instead of 3.
Dramatic cards as for now, do not have abilities in used with conjunction to other cards. They just alter the entire field in it's way and is a Heal Trigger were you to open it as a Damage. So don't look forward to "Climax Combos" as of yet!
Thats all there is to Action Cards and Dramatic Cards. Did I mention that you can put as many cards with MIRACLE in them? My next article will be on the Gameplay Tree. See you then if you are still awake!
Ciaoz~
