The Game Design of CROSS WORLDS ＜DBS-B03＞

Thank you for your continuous support of Dragon Ball Super Card Game.

Series 3　CROSS WORLDS will be in stores March 9th.
We have developed even more awesome cards for CROSS WORLD, so we would like to introduce some of our ideas behind the game designs of the set.

The main theme of CROSS WORLDS is diverse deck construction.
Dragon Ball Super Card Game is still a young game. Thus the card pool is shallow and there are various cards in each color that are more or less auto-adds to any deck of that color.
CROSS WORLDS counters this issue and allows more diverse deck construction with the 2 features below.

①Full Reveal of the New Color Black with [Over Realm] Skills

The most essential thing for more diversity in deck construction is increasing the card pool. In order to do that, we have decided to add black, a new color that requires no specified cost and can be included in decks of any color.
For example, there are 30 red cards and 16 black cards introduced in CROSS WORLDS.
This means that while there are only 30 red cards, as black cards can be used with any color, the set includes more than 40 cards that ”can be used in a red deck.”
As each color has more cards to work with, players can try out all kinds of builds even for the same deck archetypes.

Black’s most significant feature is the [Over Realm] skill (incidentally also the name of the block) was designed to diversify deck construction.
The same types of deck can end up completely different by whether or not they use [Over Realm] cards and which [Over Realm] cards they do choose to use.

[Over Realm] requires no or close to no energy to activate, and will not interfere with the main strategy of a deck.
With the wide selection of [Over Realm] cards in CROSS WORLDS, players will surely be able to find a card perfect for their deck.

Of course players can also choose to build a deck that focuses on black cards.
The first black leaders to be included in CROSS WORLDS and THE DARK INVASION [DBS-SD03] all have skills that add cards to the Drop Area.

With these cards, players will have no trouble activating [Over Realm] skills.
In addition, black also boasts super-powerful cards that can be played with [Xeno-Evolve], an all-new skill that features strong synergy with [Over Realm].

However, a black deck cannot be constructed solely of black cards… players will always need to add a second color.
So there are at least 4 kinds of builds for a black deck.
We hope players can enjoy building their own unique black deck.
