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.
| Action | Full Command | Shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| Open Dye | k!use dye |
ku 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> |
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.

| Buy Bottle | k!buy bottle |

✧ 05・VIEWING & APPLYING DYES
You can view your dye collection, inspect individual dyes, and apply them to frames.
| Action | Full Command | Shortcut |

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 |
