Previous🎫✨ Golden TicketNext🔢 Cards and Rarity

Last updated 9 months ago

Each season, players can acquire cards through various methods, including:

  • Earning XP 💪

  • Completing daily quests 📅🎯

  • Completing an Arcade Pass tier 🥇🎟️

  • Fusing a number of cards to create new cards 🔄🃏

  • Card drops 🎁🎴

  • on the checkmate marketplace 💼🔄

  • Purchasing card packs in the store 🛒🎴

  • Battling another player for their cards ⚔️🎴

Once a card has been earned, players have several options:

  • Fuse it to increase its rank 🔥🃏

  • it on the marketplace 💼🔄

  • it ⚔️🛡️

  • Burn it for XP ☠️💥

Certain actions, such as converting cards to XP and fusing them, result in the burning of the specific card, thereby reducing the total number of available cards and increasing the scarcity of the remaining ones.

  • To unlock a card's true potential, users must complete a collection. ✨
