#### Card cap

Applies to the sum of every card on the Table with the same effect, before family combos and sets.

- Attack warning: 600 s · above 360 s, each point counts 50%

#### Effect by star

Each star multiplies the card’s effect and cost: 1★ ×1, 2★ ×1.25, 3★ ×1.5, 4★ ×1.75, 5★ ×2. Shadow combos reduce the cost, and some sets cancel it.

| Star | Effect | Declared cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ | +120 s attack warning | −20% survival for your scouts |
| 2★ | +150 s attack warning | −25% survival for your scouts |
| 3★ | +180 s attack warning | −30% survival for your scouts |
| 4★ | +210 s attack warning | −35% survival for your scouts |
| 5★ | +240 s attack warning | −40% survival for your scouts |
