Dyes & Mystic Dyes

A little colour can completely transform a card! Let's explore the world of Karuta dyes. ♡

Learn how regular and mystic dyes work, how to obtain and apply them, and how they affect your cards.

✦
✦

✦ 01・WHAT ARE DYES?

Dyes are cosmetic items used to recolour card frames.

There are two main types:

  • Regular Dyes: Change a frame's colour without adding a glow.
  • Mystic Dyes: Add a glowing effect to frames and contribute more to a card's Style worker stat.

Each dye has its own unique code and requires Droplets to recharge.

✦

◈ 02・OBTAINING DYES

Gem Shop Dyes

Dyes can be purchased from the Gem Shop for 50 gems each.

  • Opening one gives you a random charged dye.
  • There is a very small chance of receiving a Mystic Dye.

⌖ 03・BURNING DYES & GLASS

Burning unwanted dyes provides Droplets and Glass.

  • Droplets are used to recharge dyes.
  • Glass is used to craft dye bottles.
Action Full Command Shortcut
Burn Dye k!burn <dye code> kb <dye code>
Important

Burning a dye permanently destroys it. It's generally better to burn unwanted Regular Dyes rather than valuable Mystic Dyes.

✦

◇ 04・DYE BOTTLES

Dye Bottles are crafted using 3 Glass each.

  • Opening a bottle gives you a random uncharged dye.
  • Bottles also have a small chance of producing Mystic Dyes.
  • Unlike Gem Shop dyes, bottle dyes must be recharged before use.

✧ 05・VIEWING & APPLYING DYES

You can view your dye collection, inspect individual dyes, and apply them to frames.

Action Full Command Shortcut
Dye Collection k!dyecollection kdc
View Dye k!view <dye code> kv <dye code>
Apply Dye k!dye <dye code> <card code> kdye <dye code> <card code>
Remove Dye k!dyeremove <card code> kdr <card code>

Example: kdye $3hbs7 abc123

A dye must have sufficient charge before it can be applied.

※ Swap Orb Tip: Swap Orbs can transfer a dye to a card that doesn't have one. If both cards already have dyes, their dyes will be exchanged.

Swap Orbs also exchange frames and morphs, so check both cards before using one.

✦

◈ 06・DROPLETS & RECHARGING

Droplets are used to recharge dyes.

Dye Type Recharge Cost
Regular Dye 3 Droplets
Mystic Dye 30 Droplets

Recharge a Dye:
