At the beginning of a scenario, players must select a number of cards from the character’s available card pool equal to the character’s hand limit.

These cards will form the player’s hand, and only cards in the player’s hand may be used during a scenario.

When playing a class for the first time, it is recommended that players use a hand comprised entirely of Level 1 cards.

However, each character also has immediate access to three X cards. These are typically more complex and situational than Level 1 cards.

As characters level up, higher level ability cards will also become available. Even though players have access to more cards, the maximum number of cards they can take into battle (hand limit) remains the same.

Once a player is familiar with the basic abilities of the class, they should consider incorporating one or more cards into their hand, removing an equal number of Level 1 cards to observe the hand limit.
