[p][/p][h3]Message from the Development Team[/h3][p]Thank you as always for playing Viractal.
We truly appreciate all of your support and feedback.
We’re giving our all to deliver a more enhanced Viractal experience in Ver.0.2.0,
so please stay tuned just a little longer![/p][p]We’ll continue to share development updates through Steam News, X (formerly Twitter), and Discord.
Thank you for your continued support of Viractal![/p]

[p]Hi there!
I’m Bahoko, the Game Master of Viractal!
This time, I’ll introduce two useful features in the game: Card Enhancement and Card Disposal![/p][p][/p][h3]What is Card Enhancement?[/h3][p]Card Enhancement lets you pick one Skill Card from your deck and power it up! [/p][p]Once enhanced, a card’s performance improves in several ways:[/p]

• [p]Increased damage, block value, or even new status effects![/p]
• [p]Gain more Will when using the card[/p]
• [p]Reduced cost to use the skill[/p]
• [p]“Exhaust” effect removed — you can now use it multiple times in battle![/p]

[p]However, keep in mind that you can’t enhance a card twice.[/p][p][/p][h3]How to Enhance Cards[/h3][p]There are several ways to enhance cards![/p]

1. [p]At the Fountain of Enhancement
   If you have plenty of DP, you can perform additional enhancements!
   [/p]
2. [p]Use the item “Enhancement Ticket” [/p]
3. [p]With the “Powerful Card” ability,
   a “Enhance Card” command will appear on Road tiles!
   [/p]

[p]Keep enhancing your favorite cards and build your ideal deck![/p][p][/p][h3]What is Card Disposal?[/h3][p]Card Disposal lets you remove unwanted cards from your deck.
[/p][p]Here are the benefits of discarding cards:[/p]

• [p]Remove weaker cards to streamline your deck[/p]
• [p]Increase your chances of drawing stronger cards[/p]
• [p]Improve deck rotation, allowing powerful cards to appear more often[/p]

[p]But remember — your deck must contain at least 5 cards![/p][p][/p][h3]How to Dispose of Cards[/h3][p]You can dispose of cards in several ways:[/p]

1. [p]At the Fountain of Disposal
   With enough DP, you can discard additional cards!
   [/p]
2. [p]Use the item “Disposal Ticket” [/p]
3. [p]With the “Release Card” ability,
   a “Discard Card” command will appear on Road tiles!
   [/p]

[p]Be careful — if you discard too many cards, you might run out of Will and be unable to play your powerful cards!
Keep a good balance between Will generation and deck thinning![/p][p][/p][h3]Optimize Your Deck with Enhancement and Disposal![/h3][p]To summarize:[/p]

• [p]Enhancement makes each card stronger![/p]
• [p]Disposal improves deck rotation and consistency![/p]

[p]Master both, and your adventure will become much smoother!
In Ver.0.2.0, we’re planning to make adjustments to make “Enhance” and “Discard” even easier to use![/p][p]Bahoko is cheering for everyone’s adventures, too!
Stay tuned![/p]
