- An active card assigns attack ability to the player.
- Four types of active cards with different basic properties were added: water, fire, electricity, and venom. Each type is projected onto diverse attack patterns. And different types cause different states of disorder to the enemies, depending on the properties.
*Every time the player uses one active card, skill of the card is converted to a UI at the bottom of the screen. The player can use the skill by clicking the UI to control the shooting direction.
- ”Buff” card

*Every time the player uses one buff card, buff of the card is converted to a UI at the bottom of the screen. The player can use the buff by clicking the UI.
