Fight Enhancement Cards
Before each combat, players can select 1 to 2 Fight Enhancement Cards. These cards modify various combat aspects, adding strategic depth.

Combo Cards
Combo Cards enable managers to teach new combos to their fighters, optimizing stamina use and providing execution bonuses for performing a series of moves in a specific order.
Combos range from 2 to 5 moves, offering flexibility in specialization or mixed sequences. This flexibility allows you to tailor your strategy to your fighters' strengths and weaknesses.
They also simplify move management in advanced gameplay by allowing direct combo selection once all required moves are unlocked. This feature helps streamline combat and make complex strategies easier to execute.
