Shadowverse is an incredible and complex online card game. However, this same complexity may make it discouraging for newer players to get into the game. To remedy this, we have put together a guide for how to get started and learn the basics. I will try to avoid the main subjects touched upon by the tutorial and cover what the game doesn’t tell you up front. Without further ado, let’s get started!
Know your goal when deck-building
It's unwise to throw in just the cards you like and hope that you get a win from it. We gotta understand the art of deck building. I mean… I'm not great at it but I know enough to make sure a beginner understands what to try.
Game Modes
Solo – Main Story
The Story mode is a good way to start your journey. It introduces the basics of the game, as well as providing cards for your currently chosen fraction deck!
Solo – Practice
The Practice mode lets you play with your deck against the computer, with a difficulty level of your choice so you can increase the difficulty as soon as you think you are ready to beat the harder decks from the computer! (Tip: If you beat the hardest challenge from every faction you earn a lot of gold to get some Card Packs!)
Multi
The Multi mode offers three different modes: unranked and ranked matches against other random players, as well as a private lobby to play with friends!
Card Basics
There are three main types of cards in Shadowverse: followers, amulets, and spells. The card below, Dawn’s Splendor, is a follower.
There are some common keywords you might see on cards. Here is a brief explanation for each, but if you need a refresher, clicking on the keyword in-game will provide reminder text for you.
Ambush: can’t be targeted or attacked by the enemy
Bane: any time this follower clashes with another follower, kill the other follower
Fanfare: when you play this card, get an effect
Last Words: when this card is destroyed, get an effect
Rush: can attack a follower right away
Storm: can attack a follower or leader right away
Ward: this follower has to be attacked first
Banish: remove a card from the game
Clash: a follower is attacking another follower
Strike: attack
Enhance: play this card for a higher cost but get an extra effect
Accelerate: play this card for a lower cost and a lesser effect
Evolve: give this follower better stats and rush
Reanimate: randomly bring back your highest-cost follower that has been destroyed
Burial Rite: destroy a follower in your hand
Drain: attack gains back life
Extra Notes
There is a lot more I can go on with this fantastic card game, like the other achievements you can try to obtain even more free cards and Rupies. Getting rid of unnecessary extra cards and converting them to vials that can be used to create your own cards, Attempting Grand Prix to get some nice cards, or my absolute hatred for a card known as Lindworm… but it's best you jump in and get into it yourself.
Beautiful on the eyes, easy to pick-up, and hard to put down, Shadowverse is one of those games that players can enjoy for the long haul. After all, that’s how trading card games are, thanks to their competitive nature and the deck-building aspect. The latter requires a chunk of time, effort, and even money (Gold and Rupies currency bought with cash). If you want to be one of the best players, you’re probably going to spend weeks, months, or even a year in Shadowverse, especially if you want Legendaries on your deck.
