Cards

[Gr13vZ3l]

Hello dear friends, I just did my 6th Ascension, but idk how cards work, please help me

[Angry By Default]

u do expedition, u get card power + exp when u finish the expedition (the first time u basically unlock the card u get, after that it stays unlocked forever) and u can spend charges to transfer some of the power u got into perma power (which u keep between ascensions)
and numbers go up

Don't worry about cards for the time being, they aren't important during A6 (6th ascension).

Here are some some of the page 1 topics with more details ;)

Then you get the option to spend one charge on converting a small amount of temporary card power (the stuff earned from expeditions that lasted 1 or more hours) from that card into permanent card power.

Total card power is used to determine the bonus % the card provides. Total card power is always based on temporary * permanent * % provided from card level (<-- 2% for each level).

Temporary card power resets on ascension, card level resets as well (till the end of ascension level 14), but permanent card power stays.

This results in a system that makes charging cards borderline pointless early on, but on higher ascension levels all your numbers suddenly go BONKERS.

I would argue that cards are very important early on as any new multiplier boosts the same stats. If it was additive I would agree. That said, there is not much to do with them early on. Until you can store many charges I wouldn't save them at all. Just use charges on your strongest card. Otherwise you are wasting charges when you could be getting more charges. Early in an ascension you won't get much per charge and you will get much more at the end of the ASCN. So burn all charges before you ascend and possibly wait if you are close to your next charge.
