Before you can leverage Tarot cards, you must first acquire them. The primary method is purchasing Arcana Packs from the in-game Shop. Alternatively, you can buy individual Tarot cards directly from the Shop. Another way to gain Tarot cards is by discarding a card marked with a Purple Seal.

Using Tarot Cards

Tarot cards are consumable items, ready for use immediately upon acquisition. You can access them from the top right corner of your screen. Upon selecting a Tarot card, a set of cards eligible for its effect will appear. Choose the number of cards specified by the Tarot card, confirm your choice, and watch as the Tarot card's effects transform your selected cards.
