《幽牍夜话》 Is Now Available! A Must-Read for Beginners—Get Started in 3 Minutes

Build a hand → unleash a move → power up after battle → keep moving

Playing 《幽牍夜话》 for the first time and not sure which cards to keep or replace?

Don't worry! This beginner's guide will help you understand the core gameplay in no time. ✨


⚔️ First things first: what are you supposed to do in battle?

It's simple—reduce the enemy's health to 0 before you run out of card plays!

In a standard battle, you usually have:

🎴 3 card swaps ⚔️ 5 card plays

If the enemy is still standing when you run out of actions... you'll have to start the battle over.


🎴 Just remember these 3 steps in battle

① Check your hand first and find the “core” of a combination

Once you draw your cards, don't rush to swap them at random!

Look for any of the following:

  • a pair / two pairs

  • three of a kind

  • consecutive values → a straight

  • the same suit → a flush

If your hand is already starting to take shape,keep the key cards first!


② Then swap out the cards you don't need

Select unwanted cards and click “Swap Cards”。

💡 Here's the important part:

Swapping one card or several cards costs only 1 swap opportunity!

So don't be afraid to swap—but don't do it blindly, either.

When you already have a foundation such as a pair or three of a kind,just deal with the unrelated cards,Don't break apart a hand that's already working just to chase a bigger combination!


③ Always check the “Preview” before playing!

Click “Attack with Cards” before playing, check:

⚔️ Which move will trigger? 💥 How much damage is it expected to deal?

Selecting more cards does not necessarily mean dealing more damage.

Often, reliably playing a completed move is more valuable than forcing a “big hand”!


📈 How do you get stronger after battle?

⬆️ Upgrade your moves

Prioritize upgrading thecombinations you play most often!

Don't upgrade every move evenly. Focus your resources on one or two main moves first to build effective combat power faster.

🔨 Forge your cards

Make your deck more “consistent”:

  • focus on a range of values

  • focus on a suit

  • remove cards that don't fit

The more focused your deck is, the more often the combinations you want will appear.

✨ Artifacts and talismans

Prioritizeeffects that trigger reliablythen tune your deck around them.

Don't focus only on the theoretical maximum damage:an effect that triggers often is what really matters!


The heart of 《幽牍夜话》 isn't playing the biggest combination every round. It's aboutslowly building your own style around your hand, moves, artifacts, and route.

May every wandering cultivator taking their first steps into the ancient scrolls avoid a few wrong turns—and then unleash a signature move of your very own! 👻✨

Coming soon!
