Main features
As you play Attack cards, Riku accumulates Darkness.
Once Darkness is active, the next Attack or Skill gain 2 damage and 2 block. In addition, Riku's signature moves known as Dark Sleights gain additional effect under Darkness.

By accumulating Situation Points (SP), Riku can enter Dark Mastery.
While Dark Mastery is active:

  • Darkness remains available continuously
  • Dark Sleights can be triggered repeatedly
  • Many cards become significantly stronger
  • Powerful combo chains become possible
Mastering the balance between spending Darkness and reaching Dark Mastery is the key to playing Riku effectively.

  • 60+ custom cards
  • Darkness mechanic
  • Dark Sleight system
  • Dark Mastery system
  • Situation Point (SP) mechanic
