The effects are as follows -
Solburst - Upon use, a heatwave will emerge centered on Argine, staggering enemies and vaporizing ballistic projectiles coming towards you, as well as disrupting other types of projectiles.
Frozeneye - Upon use, this card slows Argine's perception down, allowing for you to better exploit weakpoints or avoiding specific kinds of attacks. Useful for precision, whether offensive or defensive.
Breezecycle - Upon use, card is consumed and allows Argine to change out her entire loadout, while refreshing both cooldowns and ammunition for her limited-ammo gear.
Briarspirit - Upon use, can either serve as a temporary barrier or a health recovery effect.
Voidsplit - Upon use, lets Argine take three actions in one turn.
Echoscribe - Upon use, creates a single-use copy of any gadget Argine has seen, even unobtained gadgets. Copied gadgets cannot have any sub-effects slotted into it.
Card Count
