Five card types
- Leader — The one card that stands for you. It has Life; if your opponent brings it to 0, you lose. You pick Characters that match its color.
- Character — The main fighters. They go in your deck in the same color as your Leader. Some can use Ninjutsu by paying Chakra.
- EX Character — Strong Characters you cannot normally play. They come out only when a set condition is met.
- Chakra — What you pay to use Ninjutsu. You bring 5 of them, separate from the deck.
- Summon — Used to bring Characters onto the field. You bring 1 and rest it to use it.
