What is Delegating?
Card delegation allows another player to borrow and use a card without losing ownership of the card.
- A cooldown of 48 hours will be present after undelegating a card that had been used in battle in the last two days. This means that the card in question is prevented from being used for battle by you until the remaining cooldown time has expired.
- The account receiving a delegated card may use it for as long as it remains delegated to them at no cost, though the card cannot be combined, transferred, or burned by this player. This selected player may benefit from both the utility of the card within the battle and the contributed collection power provided by the card being present within their collection of playable cards.
- The delegated card's contributed Collection Power will apply to the account you've let use it for Tournaments, but not their overall CP score in their collection, which only includes their owned cards as of June 18th, 2024. This card will still be reflected in your CP (as it remains owned), but if you then choose to participate in tournaments, a calculation will be done on the fly to exclude that power.
- Multiple cards of the same type may be delegated/undelegated at once.
- Delegated cards may be used as workers on Land.
