Playing Combat Cards

Combat Card duels take place when two opponents equip Combat Cards Decks within chat range of a Combat Cards anvil. Touch the anvil to get free demo decks, or empty decks to fill with cards bought from the vendor. Buy an anvil for 1L$, and fight at home!

Combat Cards is played over a number of rounds and continues while both players have health remaining. In each round, you have 10 seconds to select a card to play. Playable cards have a green border which changes to white when you click the card to select it. At the end of the round, the cards selected by the players are compared to work out the results for that round.

The left hand side of a card is split into high, mid and low sections. Symbols in each section determine the card's contested effects in each area. Red blood drop attack effects reduce your opponents health. Yellow arrow discard effects cause your opponent to discard. Contested effects are reduced by blue shield block effects in the same area of your opponents card.

In addition to contested effects, cards can have uncontested effects in the lower right corner of the card. These effects always occur when the card is played and cannot be stopped by an opponent, but are often negative.

If a card has a red border it cannot be selected until a condition card is played first. The group of the condition card is shown on the top right of the card. If a card with the same group symbol next to its name is played, the red border will change to green and the card will become playable in the next turn. In this way, cards build up in to combos. Skillful Combat Card players will quickly learn the combos available to their opponent allowing them to anticipate their opponent's future moves, exploiting them to inflict heavy damage while avoiding damage themselves.

Players start with 3 cards in their hand. If a card is not selected in a round a new card is drawn and a card is randomly discarded if the players hand already contains 6 cards.

Building A Deck Once you've learned how to play Combat Cards with a demo deck, you'll want to build a deck of your own. To do this get an empty (non-demo) deck from a Combat Cards vendor and pay the vendor to buy some cards. When you buy cards you will be given a random selection. Some cards are rarer than others, but rare cards are no more powerful than more common ones. Once you have 5 or so cards, rez the empty deck in to the world by dragging it from your inventory on to the ground. Next select the card in your inventory you want to add to the deck and hold down "Ctrl" while dragging it to the deck. The deck should turn red as you drag the card over it and once the card has been added the deck will report the cards that it currently contains. Repeat the process until all the cards you want to use are in the deck. If you make a mistake, click on the deck to return the cards to your inventory. ===IMPORTANT=== Don't put duplicate cards in your deck - Second Life renames them,rendering the duplicates hopelessly borked. Once you have built your deck, wear the deck to play Combat Cards as normal. You will find that building decks with different combinations of Combat Cards will allow you to employ many different tactics in your games.
