Cards

[Grim Revan]

I just started A6 and unlocked cards. I am probably wrong on some of the details, so please correct me if I'm wrong. The cards gain exp/levels from finding in expeditions which determines base power. We get only so much power as temporary for current ascension which can be transferred to permanent power using charges. Then we ascend and reset temporary power, but keep card levels/exp and permanent power/

During A6 cards only keep permanent power.

The tricky thing:
Permanent power and temporary power get multiplied with each other, hence cards only get real good much later (A12+). They start of borderline useless, but end up as total powerhouses much later down the line. ^^

It's tricky because permanent power is gained by converting a chunk of temporary power, aka you can even lower your total card power for the ongoiing ascension.

Any recommendations on upgrades to get use of them faster? Should I invest some of my souls in charges and reduced charge time? Do I get all charges refilled at once or 1 charge per cycle?

One charge per cycle. Your card level increases with completed expeditions, hence you want to hold on to those charges (but not let them cap out) to get the most out of each charge used.

Extra charges are nice to have, extra card exp is actually useful, and extra card power is generally the best of the card related properties.

The one thing you should shy away from: card charge % in the expedition shop, i know you can't even see it in A6... but it's considered a total waste of precious expedition tokens.

The one thing you can NEVER have to much of:
Pet damage. Because more pet damage means both more cleared waves in expeditions (real good), AND more temporary card power gained from all expeditions.

PS:
"Clover" is a good soul shop purchase as well, because it helps with gaining expedition shop tokens, and those are always in demand. Soul shop upgrades to shy away from: everything related to confection (worms/ poop/ larva, confection, etc), because after a certain point confection hits a harsh diminishing return wall.

Thank you for all this information.
