Pushing Past the Limit: From 7/24 to a Full 8-Card Squad

I spent the morning tightening up my deck and decided it was time to make room. The Buy Slot screen showed I had 7/24 slots and a wallet of 1,959.44 NOVA just enough to pull the trigger on the 1,920 NOVA expansion. One tap on Buy, a big green checkmark, and “Processed” flashed on the screen. Worth it. That eighth slot changed everything.

With fresh space available, I headed straight to Collection. The new lineup snapped into place and my numbers jumped to 8/8 cards, ATK 3,894, and 1,947 NOVA/day. Seeing that total on the panel felt great, because I could trace exactly where the gains came from:
Helios (Legendary) – the backbone at 520 NOVA/day.
Kernos x2 (Unique, L2) – both ticking at 234 NOVA/day each.
Crogle x3 (Unique, L2) – a reliable trio, 234 NOVA/day each.
(Unique, L1) – a clean 180 NOVA/day and a handy Type for matchups.
(Rare, L5) – my bruiser for fights, now 77 NOVA/day.

That mix tells a simple story: duplicates aren’t dead weight. I leveled the Crogles to L2 and doubled up on Kernos, then kept Razar and Cybermong as role players with solid returns. Helios anchors the whole thing.

After locking the deck, I hopped into the Basic Dungeon. The gate pulsed, energy at 10.52, and Cybermong stared me down from the stage art while the card carousel below offered quick swaps—Razar 77/day, Kernos 234/day, Crogle 234/day, and company. I rotated leaders depending on the enemy type and weakness. Razar still opens a lot of fights for me, but Kernos often cleans up when I need steady damage and consistency.

If you’re building toward a roster like this, here’s what worked for me:
Buy slots early when you can. The cost stings (1,920 NOVA is no joke), but the extra card adds damage, income, and flexibility.
Level smart, not random. L2 uniques at 234 NOVA/day stack fast—three Crogles plus two Kernos explain most of my daily total.
Keep a specialist. Razar’s higher level helps in battles even if its mining isn’t top tier.
Anchor with a legend. Helios at 520 NOVA/day makes every other decision easier.
I’m happy with how the deck feels now—balanced, punchy, and finally using every slot.
Next step: push a unique to the next level and chase another legendary pull.
