What is a Variant?
A Variant is an upgradable card that uses relationships between the card and player to boost its performance and value. Any historical base card can be pulled as a Variant.
How do I upgrade my Variant?
This feature enables you to merge cards that share a link with a chosen Variant Card, rewarding you with more Relation Points the closer the cards are related to each other. These points can be used to unlock incremental boost levels for the Variant Card, enhancing its attributes and, consequently, its performance in the game. The improvements can reach up to a maximum of five (5) boost levels, with each offering a significant increase to the card’s ratings. The overall (OVR) rating of the card will NOT change.
You can use the cards in a boost attempt at any time, filling the boost bar at your pace. You can also collect the cards and fill the bar at one time. The choice is up to you. Once the boost meter reaches 100%, you can boost the card to the next level. If your total Relations Points exceed the target number then it can carry over if it’s at 1,000 points or below.
Variant Odds
Once a card is pulled, if eligible, the default odds for it to be a Variant Card is determined by the card value tier as follows:
Iron, Bronze: 1:200
Silver: 1:100
Gold, Diamond, Perfect: 1:50

Gold – 2500 PP
Diamond – 10,000 PP
Perfect – 50,000 PP
Can I sell my Variant?
Variants can be sold. However, the marketplace for Variants will be an Auction House and not a Card Shop. The Auction House mechanic was used for all cards in Perfect Team from 19 to 22. This allowed each card to be sold individually. We will be using this method for all Variants, but there are two vital changes to the system.
- All Variants can be sold at the current boosted level and the player who purchases it will get it at that level. For example, a Level 3 Mookie Wilson Variant can be purchased at Level 3.
- All Variants will be up for auction for 48 hours, allowing more players to bid on the card.
Please note that Variants will not have chemistry between them simply because they’re Variants. They must have connections in other areas to gain chemistry boosts.
Also, please be advised that removing a Base Card of a player on your active roster in order to replace it with a Variant of that same player will result in both cards needing the 14-day cool down period.
