Editing Deck

The Deck Menu is where players can select cards to put together a team to use for [[Debates]]. The Deck Menu consists of the Primary Deck and the Support Deck.

==Primary Deck==
These are the cards that are used during debates.

==Support Deck==
These cards provide additional stats to the team but are not used during debate stages. Additionally, some cards have skills which activate only when equipped from the Support Deck, such as the [[Formidable]] skill.

==Tips==
For players having difficulty with a tough debate, keep the following deck-building tips in mind:

# '''Attributes''' are important; a card's strength is drastically reduced if it hits an argument of the "wrong" attribute. Always remember the "rock-paper-scissors" hierarchy of {{Attribute icon|type=Logic|size=24px}} Logic > {{Attribute icon|type=Empathy|size=24px}} Empathy > {{Attribute icon|type=Intuition|size=24px}} Intuition > {{Attribute icon|type=Logic|size=24px}} Logic
#* However, care must be taken not to load a deck with suboptimal cards of the trumping attribute when leveled/built cards of the matching attribute are available; a Logic card of higher level, rarity, and skill level may hit a Logic argument harder than a weak Intuition card.
# '''Card types''' should be kept in mind when specializing or manually selecting card usage order (more on these below). Generally, cards can be divided into a few types:
#* '''Heavy hitters''', which generally have some variant of {{Item icon|Preemptive Strike}} and at least one other offensive skill, preferably in skill slot 2, which is a card's self-buff.
#* '''Active support''', which generally have an influence-boosting or defense-reducing skill such as {{Item icon|Logical Conclusion}} or {{Item icon|Virtuous Presence}} and preferably at least one other offensive skill. Active support skills come in 1-turn (α), 2-turn (β), and 3-turn (γ) variants; see below note about card usage order to optimize these.
#* '''Passive support''', which may have less desirable main skills but still buff the overall deck in an important way, such as providing {{Item icon|Drastic Measures}} to an all-Empathy deck.
# '''Skill leveling''' is important; any influence-boosting skills in your primary deck should be prioritized. It's generally not recommended to spend resources on leveling {{Item icon|Formidable}} as the max-level boost is only 1%.
# '''Deck specialization''' is important; many of the SR+ skills in skill slots 2 and 3 can become even more powerful than {{Item icon|Preemptive Strike}}, as these skills multiply their values by the number of appropriate cards in the primary deck. For example:
#* In a debate against a single attribute, such as an Intuition-based opponent, a player should bring an Empathy-heavy deck. {{Item icon|Emotional Appeal}} and {{Item icon|Emotional Projection}} will begin outperforming {{Item icon|Preemptive Strike}} of equal skill level once the primary deck is more than half composed of Empathy cards.
#* In a debate against multiple attributes, a player might consider instead specializing in a single male lead's cards; skills like {{Item icon|Sharp One}} or {{Item icon|Truth Restorer}} will again start to outperform {{Item icon|Preemptive Strike}} of equal skill level when more than half the deck is composed of that male lead's cards.
#* In any specialized deck, passive support skills become similarly important; for example, stacking all possible sources of {{Item icon|Foresight}} and {{Item icon|Reformer}} will apply an influence buff equivalent to half a {{Item icon|Preemptive Strike}} to every Intuition card in the deck (including the support cards themselves).
# '''Card usage order''' is important; when auto-debate fails, players can win debates at huge power deficiencies with cards manually selected in the appropriate order. Consider, for example, a sequence of '''active supports''' such as {{Item icon|Attention to Detail}} γ III -> {{Item icon|Layer by Layer}} β III -> {{Item icon|Attention to Detail}} α II. This sets up a 3-turn Intuition influence buff, a 2-turn all-attribute influence buff, and 1-turn Intuition influence buff. Using an Intuition-attribute '''heavy hitter''' with {{Item icon|Preemptive Strike}} at this time will take advantage of all three buffs for massively increased damage.
