Destiny's Divide

Destiny's Divide is a free-to-play competitive card game in which you play as one of 11 heroes and build strategies around cards with minimized deck randomness and an emphasis on player skill. Heroes are not locked to particular cards, so any card can be played by any hero. Cards matching your hero's type cost 1 less, and you can attack your own cards or your own hero to enable additional plays.

Gameplay mechanics

Each player selects three cards for the SharedBoard. Four of the six selected cards are chosen for the board, while two are banned; the cards on the SharedBoard are available to both players. A Heroic Being is a chosen card that is always revealed and can be played whenever you have enough resources. During deckbuilding, you also select an Energy Augment that changes how you play.

Auras come in three types: protection, effect and equipment. Effect auras provide their effects as long as they remain in play, equipment auras are used to buff or debuff other cards at your command, and protection auras can be placed in advance to trigger in response to certain actions. The rarest and strongest cards have Transcendent Abilities, which give a single card more than 15 possible ability variations. These cards are not available in purchasable packs.

Game modes

Casual play lets you face random opponents or AI, whether for relaxed games or to test decks. Ranked play includes three modes:

• Constructed: Face opponents at your level and climb the ladder using an ELO ranking system.
• Brawl: Build a deck on the fly from all available cards. Earn better rewards for more wins, with features such as rerolling card choices.
• Hardcore: Win opponents' cards permanently, but lose your own cards permanently when you lose.

Trading and rewards

You can trade or lend cards with other players, with measures in place to prevent abuse. Competing in ranked modes earns exclusive cosmetic rewards, including unique card visuals for top-tier players; these rewards do not affect game balance.

Each game mode also has end-of-season rewards, including packs, titles and crafting currency. Top players can earn unique cards exclusive to the rankings for their respective modes.
