How to Get Shinedust

Obtain Duplicates

The main way to get Shinedust in the game is getting duplicates of cards you already own. You will get Shinedust regardless of the rarity of the duplicate.

Initially, you won't get as much Shinedust as you will be collecting your initial cards, but as you open packs or choose from Wonder Picks and get more duplicates, you will slowly amass Shinedust.

Do note that this also includes purchasing duplicates of Supporter cards available in the in-game shop, but it is not recommended as it is better to save your Shop Tickets, and you will only get a few Shinedust from these cards.
