⚒︎ Getting Your Cards Ready to Work

A little preparation can help your cards become hardworking superstars! ♡

✦

✦ 01・CHOOSING YOUR WORKERS

Before assigning cards to a Job Board, check their effort and worker stats.

Cards with higher effort generally gather more bits, making them better choices for working.

▸ Sorting your collection by effort:

FULL COMMANDk!collection o:eff
SHORT COMMANDkc o:eff
✦

◈ 02・IMPROVING YOUR WORKERS

You can improve a card's working effectiveness through:

  • Frames & Dyes: Improve style and overall effort.
  • Visits & Ignore: Visiting a card you originally grabbed builds Affection Rating (AR) and Affection Points (AP). Once you meet the required AR and have enough AP, you can use Ignore through the visit command to increase toughness.

We'll cover customization in ✧ Introduction to Card Customization, and visiting and Ignore in ♡ Visit Actions & Interactions.

✦

⌖ 03・KEEPING WORKERS HEALTHY

Cards can become injured while working, significantly reducing their effort until they recover.

You can heal injured cards through:

  • Visits: Use the Heal command in the visit window. If you didn't originally grab the card, its Koibito can heal it.
  • Bandages: Completely heal a card immediately. They cost 5 tickets each.
  • Salves: Reduce injury recovery time by 24 hours. They cost 1 ticket each and can also be obtained through monthly voting rewards.

▸ Purchasing healing items:

Bandage: k!buy bandage / kbuy bandage
Salve: k!buy salve / kbuy salve

▸ Using healing items:

Bandage: k!use bandage <card code> / ku bandage <card code>
Salve: k!use salve <card code> / ku salve <card code>

※ Tip: Bandages can become expensive. Save them for situations where you don't have backup workers or can't heal a card through visits or its Koibito.

◇ 04・BEFORE ASSIGNING YOUR CARDS

Make sure you've selected your preferred workers and checked their condition before assigning them to a Job Board.
