No compromise

Competitive depth and story play are both core.

Chosen is designed to support a real PvP card game and a real solo/co-op story experience without reducing either side to a side mode.

Constructed PvP

Bring a Circle of Chosen and a tuned shared deck. Fight for tempo, Gate control, elemental positioning, Channel development, and combat-chain advantage.

30-card Circle deck
Shared resources and hand
9x9 board with elemental regions
Circle Speed determines setup choice

Story Solo PvE

Play through quests, trials, encounters, and Element Tests where character identity matters beyond combat.

Scenario Beings and Structures
Trials, Realms, Gates, and hazards
Bosses, monsters, companions
Moribito and awakening consequences

Skirmish / Tutorial

Learn in a smaller format before full deck construction. Generic cards teach fundamentals before layered elemental play.

Campaign Growth

Ability and Skill modules allow customization, progression, and live balance without constantly reprinting the Chosen themselves.

1 Ability + 1 Skill per Chosen
Aptitude and lineage exceptions
Identity-driven builds
Future-set support

Format philosophy

The same card pool can teach, duel, and tell stories.

Generic cards keep early play readable. Affinity and world cards add threshold decisions. Region, lineage, class, specialization, and Chosen-specific cards buy sharper power through narrower access instead of forcing set rotation.
