Today, we wanted to provide more details on the new trade feature coming your way this month. Here are a few highlights you can look forward to!
- Trades can be done between friends.
- Trades can be done with cards of the same rarity.
- At the time of the trade feature’s launch, certain cards from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island booster packs will be able to be traded. We are planning to continue to expand the selection of booster packs that you can trade from.
- Cards with a rarity of ♢1−♢4 and ︎☆1 can be traded.
- Items must be consumed in order to trade.
We’ll continue to monitor player feedback and assess future updates to the trade feature while keeping in mind how to balance both the ease and enjoyability of collecting.
