THE DECK GUIDE
A good deck starts with its leader.
Choose your leader and build a team around their bonus.

Only Epic and Legendary cards grant a leader bonus. It boosts HP, ATK and DEF for animals that meet the leader’s condition.
No Epic or Legendary leader yet? Play with your current collection and build around a leader bonus when you get one.
One leader. Six places to fill.
Switch leaders above to explore three example lineups. Aim to give as many cards as possible the leader bonus.

Illustrative lineups, not optimized decks for every mission.
Leader bonus first. Everything else second.
A strong link does not automatically make up for losing a leader bonus. Start with animals that receive the bonus, then find the best combinations among them.
Refine your links
With the same leader bonus, favor neighbors that share traits. Chemistry strengthens the ATK and DEF of active cards and complements your deck.
RareBasilisk Lizard
RareCrested GeckoWatch your energy costs
A deck full of expensive cards can struggle to attack. Mix costs and read passives: some abilities help generate or save energy.
CommonLeopard GeckoRareBasilisk Lizard
RareGalápagos Giant TortoiseIn this example: from 1 to 7 energy. A low cost gives you more flexibility when preparing attacks.
Make passives work together
Ally buffs, shared energy, extra attacks: look for abilities that complement each other, not just strong individual cards.

CommonTanukiIf the Lynx lands hits before the Tanuki attacks, those hits strengthen the Tanuki’s attack.
