Nubee introduced this new mechanic called Awakening. it's basically a mechanic that enhances your cards further. once you awaken a card, the H turns into a G. for example HSR --> GSR. A card that is available for awakening has a red star beside the yellow star of an HSR/HUR. Usually an awakened card skills improve or have something else added to them. Awakened cards cannot be obtained right off the bat. There's certain percentages you have to know when awakening a card. And i will tell you what percentages are those!

HSR - 40%

HUR - 20%

HUR (Some Cards) - 15%

You will know when you succeeded or failed in awakening. The card will be struck by thunder if you succeed. If you fail the card will just sparkle and have clouds under it.

Now to awaken cards you need to obtain materials needed in a places called WITCH GATE and ELEMENTAL HALL. and i will talk about those in the next chapter of this book. Materials needed to awaken cards are the following. All are specified according to element.

* "insert element here" Orb

* "insert element here" Stone L

* "insert element here" Stone M

* "insert element here" Stone S

You need a specific number to awaken them. The number required is given once you put the card in the slot that can be awakened. In the new format you can now get arcanas to obtain the chances to increase the awakening of cards. And will talk about that next section XD

Note: When you awaken cards, make sure they are perfectly evolved HSR/HUR so they are in good shape, because good awakened cards pack a punch if evolved properly! (i promise you that.) and you dont need to have them maxed level. you can awaken cards at level 1, nothing will be affected. the arcanas you applied to the card if you maxed them will be kept but the max stat limit will increase.

Tip: Maxed cards are easier to max in GSR and GUR form. saves you medals and arcanas in the long run, and obviously time. I advise to do this especially in HUR'S. Max an HUR before awakening. you will thank me LOLOLOLOL

In battle there are times when the awakened card will get a certain charge in it and the health bar will turn purple with a ridonkulous amount of soldiers. That's called "Awakened Burst". It means once per battle your card will become invincible for 3 turns.

FAQ:

What are the maxed stats of GSR and GUR?

Maxed stats for GSR is 24999 (correct me if i am wrong) for both atk and def. GUR is 39,999 atk and def. when they go into awakened burst they pack a punch without buffs.

Are awakened cards essential to have in any of your attack units?

YES THEY ARE. nowadays they are already essential. They already buffed the witches so they hit hard to the point where you need to have awakened cards in your unit. I suggest following my methods in the first edition then incorporate whatever i put here on the second so you can have a stronger deck.
