Description of Fate Cards, and How to Use Them

Fate Cards, as explained by Azziz, are the way people on Septerra use the energies radiated by the planet's Core. Every use of a Fate Card requires a certain amount of Core Energy to work. In battle, you have a blue Core Energy bar at the top of the screen. When you use a Fate Card, this energy is depleted. You can use a Fate Card only if you have enough Core to do so. There are many items in the world that will replenish Core.

To use a Fate Card during battle, a character must have charged to at least the first level. When this happens, a grey square appears next to the character's portrait in the upper left part of the screen. Activate the character, then click the Cards icon in the bottom of the screen. Click and drag a card from the list into the slot next to the character portait, then target an enemy to use it. Double-Clicking also moves a card into the active character's slot, or the next available character's slot.

Fate Cards can be combined to create more powerfull attacks. Just place a second card in another character's slot, and when you attack, both (or all three) characters will use their cards at the same time. See the list below for possible combinations.

Some other things to know: Some Fate Cards are offensive, others are defensive. The effect of the Fate Card(s) will be more powerful if you use a fully-charged character before attacking.
