Fans of the RWBY series can now become one of the heroes and battle with many other favorite characters like Ren, Blake, Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Jaune, Nora. Player’s deck is mostly fixed, yet they can improve their power with signature cards, which depends on the chosen hero. In RWBY, the players’ power comes from cards they put on and reset on the field each turn. Those cards will support to build up player’s decks. When power reaches enough volume in a single turn, you are qualified to defeat a hero of your opponent.

All the game is around power and stars. How can you get stars? Playing cards with assigned star points as well as battling other heroes will bring you some. Remember, players will not able to spend those stars and they will unchanged throughout the whole match. After a collection of turns, the hero who possesses more stars will win the round. So, it is crucial to build up your power via purchasing star-studded cards and use those stars to defeat the enemy's heroes.
