The cards

Two kinds of power shape a run. Signatures come to you automatically the moment you evolve, one for every cosmic stage, guaranteed and never picked. The Pathsare the choice: three cards at each evolution, take one, and they stack. Every number below is the game's real value.

Earned automatically, one per evolution

Signatures

The gold cards. You never pick these. Each cosmic stage grants its signature the moment you evolve into it, and they amass across the run. By Living World you carry all seven.

Paths

The choice cards. Three appear at every evolution, and again at each level past your final form. The passives stack pick after pick, and a path that reaches its ceiling stops being offered, so a capped card never wastes one of your three slots. Shepherd is the active. You fire it yourself.
