How to Play Peaks of Prestige: Rekindled Duel

How to Play Rekindled Duel TCG Event







General Gameplay Loop

General Gameplay Loop
1 Deploy, Modulate or Reconstruct Echoes, and activate Novelties, Domains, and Tactics in the Preparation Phase.
2 Initiate the Battle Phase and watch your Echoes auto-battle your opponent's team!
3 Echoes that survive will deal combined Damage (DMG) to a duelist's HP.
4 Loop back to another Preparation and Battle Phase until a Duelist's HP is reduced to 0, or the player with higher HP after 8 rounds wins.

Similarly to the first iteration of the event, the Peaks of Prestige: Rekindled Duel gameplay loop is divided into 2 main parts: the Preparation Phase, and the Battle Phase.

Set Up for Battle in the Preparation Phase

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Deployment Phase

During the Preparation Phase, your opponent and you will take turns setting up your Echoes, with up to 4 on the field at a time. You can also use the new Domains and Novelties, and your Resonator Tactics, to advance your board state.

You will draw a limited amount of cards at the beginning of each Preparation Phase, and will start with 2 Energy to perform actions. Several skills can add more cards and energy to your resource pool, or provide various other buffs that help you build your strength.

Win the Fight in the Battle Phase

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Battle Phase

Once you're done preparing, press the Fight! button to enter the Battle Phase. Your Echoes will automatically fight against the enemy. As the match goes on, both sides will start to lose HP, and the team with the last Echoes standing will win and do damage to the HP of the loser.

An Echo's performance in battle is determined by its stats. Strength (STR) dictates how effective its attacks are against enemies, Constitution (CON) indicates how much health it has, and Damage (DMG) is how much it will deal to the HP bar if it survives combat.

Build an Echo Deck

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Deck Building UI

Just like before, you can build your own deck for use in Peaks of Prestige, a function that unlocks after defeating Chessa. Now, however, you must fulfill several conditions to create a fuctioning deck.

You must now have 1 Domain card, 1 Core Echo, and a suite of Normal Echoes and Novelties to create a deck. The limit of cards is 22, and you can include up to 2 copies of each Normal Echo and 1 copy of each Novelty.

Match Elements to the Core Echo and Domain

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Deck Elements

When deckbuilding, you will only be able to use Normal Echoes of the same elements as your Core Echo and Domain, up to a maximum of 2 elements per deck.

If your Core Echo and Domain share the same element, you are free to add Normal Echoes of another element to create a 2-element deck, or leave it as a 1-element deck. Note that certain Normal Echoes and Novelties have no element, can be added to any deck you choose.

Deploy and Activate Novelties

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Novelty Tutorial

Novelties are deployable objects that still cost Energy, but do not count towards the 4 Echo Limit. They do not fight; instead, they can be activated once per Preparation Phase, with a limited amount of skill activations.

Each Novelty has its own unique effect, ranging from letting you free-deploy an Echo in hand for no energy, or granting bonus stats to your active Echoes. Play around with them to see what suits you best!

Utilize Domains for an Advantage

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Domain Description

Domains are another new mechanic added to this iteration of Peaks of Prestige. They are one-time use cards that can be activated in the Preparation Phase to trigger various effects.

Each Domain comes with a deckbuilding requirement to be able to use its skill, and a recharge condition that will allow you to use its effect multiple times in a single phase if you charge it enough.

Use Advanced Strategies in Combat

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Advanced Tactics

The Modulation, Transform, and Reconstruction mechanics are still present, along with the Unique Skills for each card.

Modulate Echoes to Grow Stronger

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Modulation Tooltip

You can Modulate Echoes by placing an Echo in your hand on top of an Echo on-field. This will increase the stats of the Echo on top, making it stronger.

Note that you can only Modulate up to twice, and that you need a Modulated 1-Cost Echo as the base for Modulating into a 3-Cost echo.

Use Transform Skills to Gain an Advantage

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Transform Tooltip

Some cards have Transform Skills that activate when dropped into the Transform area of the board, providing you various bonus effects. These cards will be removed from your deck after transforming, so plan strategically to maximize the benefits from each of them!

Reconstruct Cards to Recoup Resources

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Reconstruction Zone

If you have cards in hand or Echoes on field that you no longer need, drag them to the Reconstruction Area to recycle them for Energy. This places the reconstructed card back into your deck for future use.

Activate Special Skills for Various Buffs

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Special Skill Tooltip

Cards can have Special Skills that are normally activated by Modulating over said card. Echoes will grant the card modulated above them their listed skill, empowering that card further.

Once granted, fulfill the Skill's conditions to activate it and claim beneficial effects in combat. Aim to build a synergistic deck with Skills that complement each other!

Activate Resonator Tactics for a Boost

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Resonator Tactics Interface

You can also select various Resonators to accompany your deck in a duel. Each Resonator has their own passive and active ability, with the latter needing Energy to activate.

Each Resonator is locked behind certain conditions, and will become available once you fulfill their requirements. Select your favorite Resonator and see what strategies you can form!

Defeat Duelists to Raise Rank Level

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Rank Level Rewards

To progress further into the event, players will have to defeat various duelists to raise their Rank Level. Defeating duelists unlocks new cards and Resonator Tactics, and grants you Prestige Points, which you can use to unlock even more cards.

Raising your Rank Level will also grant you valuable items such as Astrite or Development Materials, so aim for the top to reap all the rewards!

Unlock Cards With Prestige Points

Peaks of Prestige Rekindled Duel Unlocking Cards With Prestige Points

Once you defeat Calith, you'll gain the ability to unlock cards using the Prestige Points you earn from matches. Unlocking cards gives you more strategic options, so don't forget to check out the list of locked cards often.

To unlock a card, head to the Collection interface and select one of the greyed-out cards with a lock on them to preview their effects. You can spend your Prestige Points to unlock them by pressing Unlock in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
