Last updated

This guide is for those new to TEPPEN.
Here, we’ll cover two essential aspects of battles.

Summary

  • There are two classes of cards: Unit Cards and Action Cards.
  • Attacking with Unit Cards forms the basis of battles.
  • Units placed on the field will attack enemy units they are facing, or the opponent’s hero if they aren’t facing any enemy units.
  • Playing Action Cards will trigger Active Response.
  • Hero Arts are character-specific special moves with a variety of effects.

 

1. Card Classes and Roles

There are two classes of cards: Unit Cards and Action Cards.

Units form the basis of battles, and Unit Cards are used to attack your opponent’s units and Hero.

Placing Unit Cards in the column of slots on the hero side will initiate a unit attack.
Each Unit Card has Attack and HP values; the upper value is the unit’s attack, while the lower value is the unit’s HP.

When a unit attacks, it deals damage equal to its Attack value.
Units generally only attack enemy units directly in front them and will not damage units they aren’t facing.
A unit’s HP will deplete if is hit by an enemy unit’s attack, Action Card, or Hero Arts, and if it reaches 0, the unit will be placed in the Graveyard.

Note: The Graveyard is where cards are placed when they are done being used. Destroyed Units Cards and Action Cards that have been used are sent to the Graveyard.

 

When the red/blue attack gauge connects with another unit, that unit will be attacked.
The time remaining until an attack connects is called Attack Prep.
Units placed on the field will attack enemy units they are facing, or the opponent’s hero if they aren’t facing any enemy units.
When the attack gauge reaches an enemy unit and your unit attacks, your opponent’s unit will retaliate with a counter.
Your unit will then lose HP equal to the value of the enemy’s Attack.

 

Action Cards, unlike Unit Cards, activate special effects when played and are then immediately sent to the Graveyard.
Action Cards can increase a unit’s Attack or HP, or even add specific cards to your EX Pocket, among other effects.

Additionally, playing an Action Card will pause the battle and trigger Active Response, where you and your opponent will take turns placing Action Cards.
When you and your opponent are finished playing Action Cards, a countdown will start, and Action Card effects will activate starting from the most recently played.

 

Effects

By tapping a Hero or Card, you can view info on its abilities/effects.
Some words in descriptions will be highlighted in yellow. Tap these words to check what they mean.
You can also check effects/descriptions for all cards, units, heroes, etc. outside of the battle screen, so if you can’t remember what a card does or don’t know what something means, feel free to check anytime!

 

2. Hero Arts

Hero Arts are special moves unique to each Hero, and using them at the right time will give you an advantage in battle!
These arts possess various effects, such as the ability to inflict damage on enemy units or help protect allies.
To use Hero Arts, you’ll need enough AP (Arts Points). You’ll earn 1 AP for each MP you spend to play a card.

Note: MP are points that accrue over time and are needed to play cards.

 

You can see how much AP you have by checking the bottom left corner of the battle screen.
The value on the left is how much AP you currently have, while the value on the right is how much you need for Hero Arts.
The value in the upper right corner is how much AP your opponent Hero has.
