Basic Card Strategy

Improving Cards

Cards can become much more powerful than when you first find them.  Here’s how:

• Strengthen: Increases card stats by sacrificing other cards.
• Evolution: Increases card max level, allowing it to be strengthened more.

Card Strategy, Basic

How do I know whether a card is worth improving? A card’s rarity and mana cost will give you a general sense of how powerful that card will be when fully strengthened.

Cards can reach level 160!  How do I know which cards I should level to max?  Early on, you shouldn’t worry about maxing every card you find, but as you find better and better cards it becomes more and more worthwhile to invest in each one.

What cards should I use?  In War of the Fallen you have two decks, a defense deck and an attack deck, and so you’ll want cards with high defense or attack to fill both decks.

Characters

Kingdom – The kingdom you choose at the beginning of the game — Corrupted, Iron Legion, or Dark Star — cannot be changed (currently, this may be changed in the future). Cards of the same kingdom as you receive an added boost in battle. If all 5 are of the same kingdom, the boost is even larger!

Level – You gain experience points to level up by defeating monsters and bosses in questing. Every time you level up, you receive 5 attribute points to assign to Stamina, Attack Mana, or Defense Mana.

Card Details

Kingdoms – The background color of each card represents its kingdom. The Corrupted are red. Iron Legion are green. Dark Star are purple. Use cards of your kingdom for an attack or defense boost in battle!

Attack – A card’s attack measures the offensive power of a card. While questing, a cards attack is used to determine how much damage it does against enemies or bosses. While battling other players, a card’s attack is combined with attack of the rest of the cards in your deck. Strengthen and evolve your cards to increase their attack power!

Defense - While questing, a card’s defense is used to determine how much damage it can take from boss attacks. When players try and attack you, the defense of all the cards in your defense deck are combined for your total base defense.

Mana Cost – Each card in your deck has a cost. The total mana cost of your attack deck is subtracted from your attack mana each time you attack another player. The total mana cost of your defense deck cannot exceed your defense mana. Strengthening and evolving cards increases their power without increasing their mana cost.

Level – A cards level is representative of its overall strength. You can increase a cards level by enhancing. You can increase a cards max level by evolving.

Skills – Card skills can increase the power of your cards or decrease the power of your opponent’s cards. They have a chance at triggering, which you can increase by joining a guild and having a high guild force.

Strengthen

The Attack and Defense values of your decks’ cards are important in questing and player battles.  You can make your cards more powerful by sacrificing other cards to them, which increases their level and improves their stats.

Remember that sacrificed cards are completely destroyed, so don’t use a card you want to keep!

Evolution

All cards have a starting max level of 20, which limits how much you can strengthen them.  Evolution allows you to increase this max level.

Evolution requires a pair of cards of the same type (ie two Burning League Archers).  One of these cards is the target, whose max level will increase.  The other is sacrificed (destroyed).

The max level increase is based on the sacrificed card’s level.  A level 20 card increases max level by 20.  (A level 21 increases by 21, and so on.)

• At evolution 1 the highest max level is 20
• At evolution 2 the highest max level is 40
• At evolution 3 the highest max level is 80
• At evolution 4 the highest max level is 160

Note: You’ll need evolved cards in order to reach the highest max level possible.  For example you need to sacrifice a level 40 card in order to increase an evolution 2 card to a max level of 80, and to have a level 40 card means you’ll have to evolve that card first.

Battle

Editing Decks

Edit Deck will be the first option available on the top of the screen if you click the Cards button on the bottom of the screen. Here, you can edit your attack and defense deck. You can remove cards that aren’t your leader card (left-most card in your deck) and replace the empty slots with other cards that you own. Keep in mind, the cumulative cost of your attack deck cannot surpass your maximum attack mana and you will be stopped from putting a card in your deck that would bring your cumulative cost over the attack mana limit. Your defense attribute serves as the maximum cumulative cost of cards in your defense deck.

You can also use the recommended attack and defense decks by clicking the swap deck button and scrolling down to the recommended deck. Recommended decks will have the highest possible cumulative attack or defense for the amount of attack mana or defense attribute that you have.

Leader Cards

Your leader card is the card in the leftmost slot of your attack deck. Your leader card can only be swapped out of your deck for another card and cannot be left as an empty slot. Your leader card is the only card that will take part in boss battles. The attack of your leader card decides how much damage you do each strike against a boss and the defense of your leader card decides how much health it has when the boss strikes back. Your leader card is the card your friends will call into battle when they pick you to assist them on their boss battles.

Battle Rules 

A PvP battle pits one players attack deck against another player’s defense deck. First, each card that is the same kingdom as its owner receives a buff to its stats. Next, guild force is added to the trigger chance of each card’s skill. Finally, card skills attempt to activate starting with the leader card in the attack deck and then going down to the leftmost card in the defense deck and then back up to the 2nd card in the attack deck. Card skill activation continues to alternate this way until cards from both decks have attempted to activate their skills. If the attack deck has the higher cumulative attack at the end of the battle, the attacking player wins and obtains some glory and gold from the loser. The losing player loses some gold and glory and can’t be attacked for a short while. If the defending player wins, the defending player steals some gold and glory from the attacking player.

Leaderboards

The leaderboard is a constantly updated list of the players that have the highest amount of glory among all the players in War of the Fallen.

Glory – Glory represents how adept a player is at PvP battling. The only way to obtain glory is through winning PvP battles. Victorious attackers and defenders both get glory. The amount of glory obtained through a PvP battle depends on the level of the loser and the amount of glory that the loser had.

Questing

Complete quests to advance the storyline while earning cards, coins, and XP

• World Map.  When you first tap Quest you’re taken to the world map where you can select a realm to quest in.  New quests will unlock as you travel down the quest path.
• Questing.  Tap a monster to attack it.  The currently highlighted card of your cards below will make an attack, doing damage equal to its attack value.
• Costs.  You spend stamina to attack.  The amount spent is determined by the quest, and harder quests cost more stamina to make attacks (but harder quests also provide better rewards.)
• Rewards.  Questing is a great way to find a lot of cards, and also some treasures.  Each quest offers four types of rewards.  Generally the harder the quest is the better overall rewards it’ll provide, but if you’re lucky you can find some very powerful cards hidden away on certain quests!
• Realm Rewards.  If you find every single type of reward in an entire realm you’ll earn a valuable rare shardstone!  These can contain very powerful cards to really bolster your decks!  When you’ve found all types of rewards in a quest, that quest’s icon on the map will change to have 3 stars.
• Bosses.  Bosses are powerful enemies found at the end of each realm’s quest path.  Bosses fight dirty, so you only get to bring your leader card to a boss fight. When the fight starts, your card will deal damage based on its attack value and its defense value will determine how long it can last before being defeated.
  A boss fight ends when either your leader or the boss is defeated.  If you win, you’ll claim the reward and unlock the next realm for questing!
  Having trouble on a boss?  Invite some friends!  Their leader cards will join you and help by attacking each round and taking some hits for you.
