UPGRADING CARDS
[h3]Reminder: You can play the demo right now! Experience the opening chapters of the game and give us feedback![/h3]
On your journey in Ash of Gods: The Way, you’ll come across many different cards from multiple different decks. Every single one has its niche use: some provide ranged support, others break your enemy’s armor, buff your troops or simply stand around to take damage. However, it’s not as straightforward as you may think. Today, we’d like to talk about card upgrades!
[h3]What are card upgrades?[/h3]
Card upgrades are quite self-explanatory. Every card you get can be upgraded to better suit your needs. The upgrades to pick from depend on the card you’re trying to upgrade; they all feature a unique upgrade tree with a number of mutually exclusive upgrades.
These upgrades can either bolster the card’s strength or change the way it plays entirely. From straight up damage or health upgrades to the ability to regenerate health each turn or break the opponent’s armor, there’s a lot of diversity and potential builds to be played around with.
And these are just character cards! Support cards, the ones you can use to cast a spell or give to a character to make them stronger, also have their own linear upgrade tree. While the upgrades may be more limited than those of the character cards, they will still elevate the power of the card to new levels, often more than doubling or even tripling its power when maxed out. Whether you want to boost the damage they deal, health they provide or counteract the downsides of the card, there’s a lot of room here to make your deck truly fit your needs.
[h3]The where & the how[/h3]
It takes a bit of time before you’ll unlock card upgrades. If you don’t see the upgrade buttons yet, be sure to progress through the story! You’ll be able to upgrade your card in the Deck Manager, your one-stop-shop for all your deck building business. Once unlocked, you’ll see the button below the cards in the blue “My Deck” section.
Both character and support cards require resources to upgrade. For the former, you’ll need experience points for that character’s faction. The latter will need gold instead! Both experience and gold are obtained simply by winning battles. You’ll be able to see the reward you’ll get in the battle’s briefing screen!
You won’t have to worry about spending your hard earned experience and gold either. If you ever mess up or feel the need to switch, when preparing for a battle and simply wanting to try something different for example, you can simply reset your upgrades at no cost!
That’s all there is to it! We highly recommend trying out different characters, upgrades and decks. There’s a lot to customize, and some builds will work better for a specific battle than others! Craft the perfect build for your playstyle, or challenge yourself by trying something new!
