MONSTER CARDS Ver.0.16.0

Introduction

Thank you for always enjoying MONSTER CARDS!
We are very happy to see that the game is becoming more and more exciting with user-sponsored tournaments being held!

Now, on this page, we would like to inform you about MONSTER CARDS Ver0.16.0!
Last time, the newly added Ultimate Skills added more color to the game, but at the same time, some of them were so powerful that they caused a lot of damage to the competitive environment.

In this patch, we have reviewed the effects of Ultimate Skills once again and adjusted the game balance so that as many skills as possible can be used.
In particular, we have also reviewed the cost, which has a significant impact on deck construction, so please check it out!
