In many games, you are guided through the game step by step.

A tutorial shows you bit by bit what layers the game is made up of and how you can become more successful little by little.

This is not the case with Crypto Hunter World, where you have to explore for yourself.

This can be a quest of its own for some inexperienced players, especially if you have never before played card games like this.

Therefore, it can be too much, making you want to quit before even trying.

Allow me to assist you in your initial steps within this game.

The basics: 3 cards, your deck.

At the start of the game, you are given your first 3 cards.

You can find these under the card tab.

👈

Then click on collection at the top of your screen.

👉

Here you can see all the cards you have in your possession.

For now, there are 3.

You can add these cards to your deck in 2 ways.

By clicking on the card itself or on the empty space in your deck.

The observant among us will also see a number of numbers change at the top of the screen.

Your ATK (attack power) increases and you have also started mining NOVA (the in-game currency).

Even though they are not rare or legendary cards, these normal cards should not be underestimated.

They are the stepping stones for synthesis later in the game.

By using these normal cards as upgrade material, you can build a very strong deck.

While you gather resources to expand your deck, it is important that you let these cards mine for you.

ATK

In Cryptid Hunter, attack power (ATK) represents the strength of your deck.

And as you saw when building your deck, each card adds something to your ATK.

Normal cards will naturally add less than a unique or legendary card.

These will obviously add more and can form a strong deck for you.

Increasing strength or battle power (ATK):

You can obtain a card in various ways: through upgrades, packs, or synthesis, and each card has a certain base ATK.

You can increase this base ATK by upgrading your cards.

To do this, you use enhancers and materials.

After each upgrade, you will see that the ATK of your card, as well as your deck, increases.

The value of your deck ATK is simply the sum of all the ATK of the cards in your deck.

How ATK affects your gameplay:

It's very simple. The higher your ATK, the higher your ranking on the leaderboard.

Of course, it looks good to be high on the leaderboard, but there are even more advantages.

You'll also be eligible for better prizes, because a high ranking can allow you to compete for big rewards during competitions or events.

But that's a topic for another time.

In the beginning, your ATK will be comparable to other novice players, but as you progress, you'll see your deck grow, as well as your ATK.

And then you'll start to see how competitive your deck is.

So, making an attack actually consists of constantly upgrading, combining, and cleverly managing the cards in your deck.

In the long run, every little ATK boost counts.

What else do you need?

• Slots: The more cards in your deck, the higher your ATK.

The higher your ATK, the stronger your deck.
It is therefore recommended to get as many slots as possible at the beginning of the game.

Once you have placed all your desired cards in your deck, it's time to make these cards as powerful as possible.

You do this by upgrading your cards. You can use Enhancers for this.

• Enhancers: These come in 3 variations (Common/Unique/Rare).

Each type corresponds to the rarity of the card you want to upgrade.

To upgrade a common card, you need a common enhancer, and so on.

They are crucial for upgrading your first 3 cards. They can be purchased in the game store.

• Then there are Material Cards: Ordinary creatures that seem weak but are vital.

They serve as food to upgrade your stronger cards.

• Accessories (these become important later in the game): Improving mining rates or increasing the chance of success with upgrades can be achieved through equip able items that some cards benefit from.

These are not important for beginners, but can be essential once your deck starts to grow.

In summary:

Your first 3 cards in your deck are your foundation, your basis.

Put them in your deck and start mining NOVA.

Then, focus on expanding your slots, enhancers, and materials as quickly as possible so that you have the tools to expand and upgrade these 3 starting cards into a more efficient and powerful deck.

You can get these by obtaining packs, upgrades, or synthesis.

This will increase your ATK, your battle power, and your ranking on the leaderboard.
