*Card Support and Turns*

Your opponent reserves the right to activate a card’s support during your turn, and you must allow them to complete the implementation of a called card support.
Unless specifically described, if a card’s support mentions a “turn” or “turns”, one turn is counted as your turn only and does not count your opponent’s turn. If “turns” are used with a length of time, the scope of the card support ends when you declare your relevant turn is over. (Example: if “15 turns” is inscribed in a card support, the scope of the “15 turns” ends with the 15th declaration that your turn is over since the card was played.)

A bonus of 1 point is rewarded to all statistics of your AE cards, given when all of the entity card zones on your field are filled by your cards.
Effect is removed when one card zone from your field becomes unoccupied, or when filled by an opponent’s card.

A bonus awarded when at least three different AE cards in the same row on neighboring columns from your field share the same classification set 5. Reward 1 point to all statistics of the applicable cards.
Effect is removed when only one of the rewarded AE cards remains on your field.
Cards that are awarded a PH bonus cannot also enjoy an ST bonus or a Pack bonus.
A PH bonus can only be used in one instance, and any further applicable cards for the bonus would not be considered. (eg: When four DNO cards have already been rewarded a PH bonus, and then a new fifth DNO card is played next to the four cards. The fifth card cannot be granted the same bonus as the other four cards)
Multiple PH bonuses can exist simultaneously.

A bonus awarded when at least two different AE cards in the same row on neighboring columns from your field share the same total classification. Once per card, reward 2 points to all statistics of an applicable card.
An ST bonus can be rewarded continuously as long as new applicable cards can be considered.
Effect is removed when no AE cards on your field continue to share the same total classification.
Cards that are awarded an ST bonus cannot also enjoy a PH bonus or a Pack bonus.
Multiple ST bonus can exist simultaneously.

A bonus awarded when three or more of the same AE cards under your control are located in the same row on neighboring columns on the field. Reward 3 points to all statistics of the applicable cards.
A Pack bonus can be rewarded continuously as long as new applicable cards can be considered.
Effect is removed when the number of the rewarded AE cards becomes two or less.
Cards that are awarded a Pack bonus cannot also enjoy a ST bonus or a PH bonus.
Multiple Pack bonuses can exist simultaneously.

There cannot be more than 4 of the same entity cards in a deck, regardless of rarity.
There cannot be more than 2 of the same DO, EV or EF cards in a deck, regardless of rarity.
If you run out of cards to play from your deck, you lose the game, and your opponent wins by default.
You can only have up to 8 cards in your hand by the end of your turn. If by the end of your turn you have more than 8 cards in your hand, you must discard however many cards from your hand to bring the total card count in your hand back to 8.
“The field” refers to both your and your opponent’s fields of 8x8 total card playing field. “Your field” refers to your 4x8 card field only. “Your opponent’s field” refers to your opponent’s 4x8 card field only.
Only one card is allowed to occupy each card zone on the field, and it must be the designated card type specified on the card zone.
If any statistic of an AE card is reduced to zero, the card is removed from play.
When your cards are removed from play, they are sent immediately to your OB zone.
Place relevant point chips on an AE card to record changes in the card’s statistics. Colors of point chips are non-assigned. It is recommended for you and your opponent to coordinate and agree on which colors represent ATK, DFS, and SPD at the start of your game.
