Mission reward cards

bailey · 03-17-2026, 09:51 AM

It seems the mission reward cards so far are all variants. But some of these have L10's in the card shop. Is there a way to sell variant cards in the card shop, perhaps by removing the variant status which was a thing in PT25.

The mission rewards aren't Variants.

it's a bug/typo

bailey · 03-17-2026, 02:26 PM

That's a major typo, but I think it would have been cool if reward cards were variants. Or, maybe, each reward card has a chance of becoming a variant when you complete the mission.

Can that typo get updated?

I thought they were variants, which would make the mission worth it.

cwhitman · 03-17-2026, 03:55 PM

level 0 variants also don't exist in this game, in the database they are base cards

Chris Marquardt · 03-18-2026, 12:39 PM

Fixed in the next build

Still have no idea what artifact cards are. Can we sell them?

LeeD · 03-19-2026, 06:47 AM

They're useful as variant boosters. Haven't seen any way to sell them, and I wish there was if only to give players another option.

The artifact cards are ways to easily boost Variant cards you may get by one or multiple levels at a time. They cannot be sold.

What are the total variant points needed to boost an iron, bronze... perfect variants to get to a level 5? Do Artifacts make a difference between card levels?

There are no variant points this year, just the levels.

I went through the boosting process in my Sunday stream this past Sunday. Here's the VOD; go to the 49:42 mark: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2723473236

bailey · 03-19-2026, 09:14 AM

So, if it's just levels and not points, then this means it is just as expensive to boost an iron as it would be to boost a perfect?!

rburgh · 03-19-2026, 11:10 AM

If Iron variants boosted at one artifact per level, Bronze 2 per level, etc. and artifacts were about 5x easier to acquire.

bailey · 03-19-2026, 02:45 PM

So, artifacts boost by levels: silver artifact = 1 level, gold is 2 levels, diamond 3 and perfect 4. Now, I see two iron booster cards in the card shop. How much of a boost do these iron cards provide?

one level single boosters. when we get double boosters, it'll be two

bailey · 03-19-2026, 03:49 PM

Only 4 iron boosters to boost any variant to L5 compared to 10-35 boosters last year. Maybe, it's time for me to get involved with variants!

cwhitman · 03-19-2026, 04:14 PM

but they're also significantly scarcer

Thanks. So, the only duplicates on the variant boost screen are now irrelevant.

You need the same number of artifacts to boost an Iron variant card as a Perfect variant card to reach peak level. This seems to penalize the use of artifacts for lower tier cards. In your example you picked the Diamond variant card not the iron, which is a better use of the artifact.
