Awakening
Awakening is a feature in Aether: Trading Card Game that allows players to combine three identical cards into a single, more powerful version of the original card. This is done by selecting three identical cards. The result is a single card with increased attributes. The amount of increase is random and varies between cards. Awakening also has the potential to decrease a card's attributes, which is also random. Awakening provides a way to increase the power of cards and make them more useful in battle.
Awakening a card can result in one of five possible outcomes:
- Great Success: Two random stats of the main card are increased.
- Success: One random stat of the main card is increased.
- Failure: The stats of the main card remain the same and two cards are destroyed.
- Major Failure: One random stat of the main card is decreased and two cards are destroyed.
- Critical Failure: All three cards are destroyed.
Optional protection charms can be purchased in the in-game shop to save cards from destruction in case of critical failure:
- Rare Protection Charm: Works only for Rare and below.
- Epic Protection Charm: Works only for Epic and below.
- Legendary Protection Charm: Works only for Legendary and below.
