    Players acquire mana automatically as the match progresses, and are forced to use it in order to play cards.[5] Any mana used will be turned in "Art Points" which is used to perform a Hero Art.[6] The cards are split into two major categories in the game, being "Action Cards" and "Unit Cards".[7] [8] Unit Cards are those which can only be placed on the field with an attack line that will eventually reach the opponent and deal damage, the attack line of the Unit Cards push forward in real-time. Action Cards on the other hands are special cards which will trigger a special phase named "Active Response".

    The Active Response will pause the real-time gameplay and switches it into turn-based. Players will now have a small timer to react back with another Action Card or choose for the Active Response to end. Once the latter is done, the Action Card order is played from a reverse order, this allows players to deny potential plays from the opponent.

    Once players have used enough cards, the Art Points will reach a point where a Hero Art can be performed. Hero Arts are a special move in the game which plays a short cinematic of the hero in question and pauses the game entirely. Players may use the Hero Art to sabotage the opponent in a way which they perform the move shortly before an attack line reaches the opponent's side, making it difficult for the other player to block the attack. The Action Card with its Active Response mechanic may also be used this way.

    Once a player reaches zero health, the match is over and they will lose. As Teppen matches have a time limit of five minutes, whichever player has the least amount of health at the end will also lose the match. There are no ties in the game, in the event of both players dealing a final blow to one another at the same time or the five minute timer ending with both players at the same amount of health, a "Double Defeat" will happen instead.

    Playable characters

    The playable characters are referred to as "heroes". The first eight were released at launch, while the rest are later released commonly alongside a major expansion. All heroes up to Ada Wong are unlocked by default and can be played at no additional fee. Following Ada, future characters would be released as "EX Skins", acting as alternate skins for existing characters, acting the same as the original heroes during gameplay, and would need to be unlocked through special card packs.
