Card Types and Grade
Heroes War: Counterattack Guide
Heroes War: Counterattack uses Cards as means of upgrading mercenary abilities and skill effects, or as materials. The game has three card types; understanding their importance and learning how to use them will benefit you in the long run. In this page, we’ll discuss what Cards are, their types and grades, as well as their significance.
Cards are divided into R to SSR grades, and into three categories/types: Skill, Rage, and Material cards.
Skill Cards
These are cards that increase the basic abilities and normal skill effects of the target mercenary. You can still use normal skills even if the mercenary is not equipped with skill cards. However, it can only be equipped to exclusive mercenaries. When equipped with an SSR Skill Card, the card’s individual passive effect is activated.
When promoting a skill card, one of the three normal skills is promoted at random. The skill effect improves further according to the promotion stage (about 3 times per skill). When promoting an SSR card, the card’s trait will be activated.
Rage Card
These cards increase the basic ability and Rage skill effect of the target mercenary. It can be equipped to any mercenaries, but you won’t be able to use the rage skill unless you equip it to the mercenaries. When equipped with a rage card, the individual passive effect of the equipped rage card is activated.
When promoting a rage card, the rage skill will be promoted. The skill effect improves further according to the promotion stage (about 3 times per skill). When promoting an SSR card, the card’s trait will be activated.
Material Card
These cards are used for increasing the level or promoting skill or rage cards. These are considered consumable and have no other use that fodder for other cards. There are two types of material cards:* EXP Card: This type of card is used for increasing the level of skill or rage cards. More EXP cards will be required as the skill/rage card’s level increases. You can’t use an EXP card whose grade is higher than the card to be powered-up.
* Promotion Card: It is used for promoting a skill or rage card and increase its grade. (R to SR, SR to SSR). You can only use a promotion card on a skill or rage card of the same grade.
