Card Progression and Rarity System
The path to becoming a true Tsukibito requires mastery of both personal growth and the evolution of your Meme Senshi cards. This dual progression system ensures balanced advancement while maintaining the strategic depth of Lunaka's gameplay.
Player and Card Level Progression
Core Principles
Separate XP Systems: Players and cards have independent experience systems:
- Player XP: Earned from overall battles, challenges, and tournaments
- Card XP: Earned only when that specific card participates in battles
Player Level as Cap: Your player level defines the maximum level any Meme Senshi card can achieve
- Example: A Level 3 player can have cards at Levels 1, 2, or 3, but no higher
Staking Mechanism: Both players and cards require Luniko staking to unlock the next level once XP thresholds are reached
