What are Card Colors?

The game features four colors which heroes and cards are categorized as listed below. Card colors will also affect how much your max MP will be. A deck running a single color deck will have access to 10 MP, dual colors a max of 5 MP, and a triple-colored deck, a max of 3 MP. A four-colored deck is basically impossible since it will have 0 max MP, making it completely unplayable.

Red

The two red deck heroes is the first one, Ryu and Rathalos. The color’s general theme is offense through damage. Here are some of the prominent abilities on red cards:

* Units and action cards that can deal direct damage to a hero

* Units that can deal damage to enemy units in front of them as soon as they’re played

* More units with Rush

* Cards that give +Attack to allies

Green

The two green deck heroes are Chun-Li and X. Green cards are usually defensive in nature but can grow unstoppable with the right set up. Here are some of the prominent abilities on green cards:

* A good number of green units with Victory effect that trigger HP recovery and permanent +X attack and/or +X amount of HP.

Purple

The two purple heroes are Morrigan and Dante. Purple cards specialize in controlling the flow of the game via board manipulation and heavy, effective use of low-cost action cards. Here are some of the prominent abilities on purple cards:
