Cards

In a match, players will utilize a battle deck consisting of 8 cards to help support their Hero and topple the opposing Hero. A battle deck is assembled from all the cards a player has accumulated from opening Loot Chests (not counting the ones a player starts the game with) up until that point. In addition, cards can be upgraded and come in a variety of rarity levels.

Card Types
There are three primary "types" of cards, each with their own respective qualities. These are:


 * Units: These cards are generally your "army", moving around the battlefield looking to attack the opponent
 * Structures: These cards are generally stationary and provide defensive ("Defense"-type) or spawning capabilities
 * Support: These cards provide a "boon" to your other cards and/or Hero or provide a negative effect and/or direct damage to your opponent

How you construct your deck is the key to winning War Alliance. Many of the best decks take advantage of the strengths of the selected Hero, while making up for any inherent weaknesses.

Rarity Levels
Cards come in one of four rarity levels:


 * Common (Grey card border) | Max Level: 20
 * Rare (Blue card border) | Max Level: 18
 * Epic (Yellow card border) | Max Level: 15
 * Legendary (Purple card border) | Max Level: 9

Common cards are generally easier to obtain, versus a Rare, Epic, or Legendary card, but have a higher max level. While cards are distributed on a preset chest/card cycle, there's a very small chance of obtaining a Legendary in any chest.

Upgrading Cards
A key component of succeeding in War Alliance, is upgrading your cards. Not only is the primary means of leveling up (subsequently increasing the overall level of your towers and Hero), but it increases the variable stats of a given card. Cards require two things for upgrading:


 * A set amount of cards
 * An amount of Gold

The value of both parameters are based on the level of the card and its rarity.
