To harness the power of Tarot cards, you first need to acquire them. The primary method is through purchasing Arcana Packs available in the in-game Shop. Alternatively, you can opt to buy individual Tarot cards directly from the Shop. Another way to snag these mystical cards is by discarding a card with a Purple Seal during your gameplay.

Using Tarot Cards

Tarot cards are consumable items, ready to be used as soon as you obtain them. You'll find them in the top right corner of your screen. Simply select a Tarot card, and a selection of cards will appear that it can be applied to. Choose the number of cards specified by the Tarot card, confirm your choice, and watch as the card's effects are applied to your selection.
