Cheering Deck

Cheering Deck (おうえんデッキ) is introduced in Version 9.0.0 released on 2020/02/17. This deck allows players to use their cards in reserve to further boost the stats of the cards used in Quest Deck. Cheering Deck is only available to players of User Rank over 200.

Players can make one Cheering Deck in each of the five colors. For each deck, they can set up to 30 same-color cards in the Cheering Deck, in 6 groups of 5 cards each. All cards used in Quest Decks will then gain Cheering Bonus (おうえんボーナス) equaling 0.3% of the total stats in the Cheering Deck of its main color.

If three or more adjacent cards in a group has a common combination, then that group also gains Cheering Effect (おうえん効果), boosting one of the stats of all cards in that group.

Cost

Circled area shows the cost used and the deck cost cap.

All cards are designated a cost (コスト) value, and deck cost (デッキコスト) for a deck is the total cost of all cards used. Players can only make decks up to their deck cost cap (デッキコストの上限), which increases with the user rank up to a maximum of 650.

See PPQ:User Rank for the deck cost cap for each User Rank.

Deck Cost Over

One common reason for failure in Transformation Fusion and ★7 Transform Board is having one or more decks exceeding deck cost cap after the transformation. A Deck Cost Over (デッキコストオーバー) warning will be shown instead of proceeding. The player has to either free up enough cost space for the transformation by taking out other cards from all offending decks, or directly remove the base card from the decks.

Combination

Cards are assigned Combinations (コンビネーション) based on the characters' traits as seen from the character art, flavor text and lore aspects. Combinations are put into play in two ways:

• Combination Bonus (コンビネーションボーナス) in Quest Decks and Battle Decks
• Cheering Effect (おうえん効果) in Cheering Decks

Each card can only have at most 5 combinations; for cards that can technically satisfy 6 or more combinations, only 5 will be assigned. Combinations may also change across rarities of the same character due to changes in the character art.

Combination Bonus

Combination Bonus (コンビネーションボーナス) is active when three or more consecutively adjacent cards have a common combination. Those cards will receive a 20% boost on all stats, regardless of the combination triggered or the number of cards involved. The cards involved in the Combination Bonus will be signified by speech bubble with sparkles.

Note that the cards involved cannot include multiple of the same character or equivalent alts (e.g. Amitie and Sweet Amitie). Specific exceptions exist for the equivalence, for characters that although shares names but are actually different people (e.g. Klug and Strange Klug, Arle and Doppelganger Arle) as well as certain rare alts like Puyo Fest and Full Power cards. The supporter card is also exempt from this repeated card rule; Combination Bonus can be triggered to the supporter card even if another repeated card is already present.

Example

					+
repeated	equivalent	Girls
			exception	exception		support

Only one combination can trigger Combination Bonus at one time. If multiple combinations can trigger Combination Bonus at the same time, the final triggering combination determined in order by:

1. the combination that involves more cards

Example

					+
Magic School (4 cards)				--		--
--	Boys (5 cards)

2. the combination with higher priority

Example

					+
Heroines (3 cards, priority 01)			--	--		--
Girls (3 cards, priority 53)			--	--		--
--	--	--	Boys (3 cards, priority 54)

Combination Enhancement

The leader skill "Combination Enhancement" (コンビネーション強化) increases the effects of combination bonus when activated. Total increase calculated by 20% × (1 + Enhancement 1 + Enhancement 2).

Reference Table: Combination Enhancement v. All Stats Up

Enhancement	Total CB Effect	Equivalent increment
0	20%	--
150%	50%	1.25×
200%	60%	1.3333×
250%	70%	1.4167×
300%	80%	1.5×
800%	180%	2.3333×
1200%	260%	3×

Cheering Effect

Cheering Effect (おうえん効果) is active when three or more consecutively adjacent cards of a group have a common combination. The whole group will receive a boost on one of the stats (either HP, Attack or Recovery). Which stat to boost and the boost rate is dependent on the combination triggered or the number of cards involved. The cards involved in the Combination Bonus will be signified by speech bubble with a megahorn.

Unlike in Combination Bonus, same character or equivalent alts can also be involved in triggering the effect.

Only one combination can trigger Cheering Effect at one time. If multiple combinations can trigger Cheering Effect at the same time, only the combinations' priority (which is different from the priority for Combination Bonus) is used to determine the final triggering combination; the number of cards involved or the actual resultant Cheering Effect rate is not considered. Hence, note that certain arrangements of a group may yield less Cheering Effect than the highest possible from those same cards.

Example

					Cheering Effect
OPP Member (3 cards, priority 31)			--	--	Attack +10%
Horned (5 cards, priority 47)					Attack +20%
					Cheering Effect
OPP Member	OPP Member	--	OPP Member	--	--
Horned (5 cards, priority 47)					Attack +20%

Players can check the Cheering Effect for each combination and filter card list by combination from the Cheering Effect Index (おうえん効果図鑑).
