The Permanent Game Modes

You guys remember the Permanent Game Modes screen right? Well, if you don't here it is again:


Let's talk about these game modes as you'll want to know the basics as you get started on your way to WWE Supercard glory!

First up, we have Wild Mode and Ranked Mode: 


For these game modes you will need 4 Male and 2 Female Superstar cards and 2 Support cards. Wild Mode is the traditional exhibition mode that allows you to play the AI in a best of 3 matches. This is a good mode for helping you train your cards. It's sort of like the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" of the game modes. The various matches you will face off against your opponent include Male Solo, Male Tag, Female Solo, and Female Tag. In the solo matches it card-o y card-o and the best card wins. For tag matches, card stats are combined and the best combined stats will be victorious. In tag matches, there is the added (or subtracted) bonus of tag compatibility. Tag compatibility requires a right blue arrow to be partnered with a left blue arrow (or yellow up with yellow down) and receives a 10% increase to both cards stats. Where tag incompatibility (yellow with blue) receives a 5% decrease in stats and a neutral compatibility (same arrow direction) keeps the cards at their current stats (no increase or decrease).  If you win you get 2 draft picks, if you have a perfect win in any game mode you get a +1 draft pick. 

Similar to Wild Mode, you have Ranked Mode. Game play is set up the same, but it's important to note that the draft board used to determine the tier of cards you can draft is determined by your Ranked Mode deck, so make sure you have your best cards in. Ranked Mode is new for Season 3 and is a Player vs. Player (PVP) mode. It also requires bouts to start a match where Wild does not use the bout system. Once you start a Ranked match, the app searches for an opponent, if it does not find a match you end up playing against the AI like in Wild Mode. After each win in Ranked, you get points that are used to determine your spot on the leader board. Top 50 spots at the end of the month receive Credits. You also get 3 picks (4 if you get a perfect win) from the draft board.

Next up is TBG...


This is the newest game mode released. It is a team based permanent mode. When you begin, the AI searches for an opponent like the PVP modes. You then enter a 24 hour charging period where your collect charges from the draft board by playing other game modes or events. After the charging period, you enter a 24 hour attack period. If you forget to add the charges to your TBG deck, attacking your opponent might be rough and you might end up with a score like what's picture above. Rewards are then determined by the team with the most points is declared Champion. If you don't win, you receive a consolation reward based on the total points your team scored.



King of the Ring (KOTR) along with Wild Mode are the stalwart modes from Season 1. KOTR takes 7 male superstars (3 used as solo and 4 used as tag matches) and 3 female superstars (1 solo and 1 tag option) along with 2 support cards. When you start a KOTR, you are matched against 15 other players who you face 3 times each. You gain energy cards from the draft board that you use to refill your cards in KOTR. You have 50 minutes between matches to refill your cards energy, but there might be times that you can get away with not refilling all your cards energy. At the end of the 45 matches, if you have one of the top 8 records you enter a tournament bracket. The higher you place in KOTR determines the rewards you will receive.


Money in the Bank (MITB) and Royal Rumble (RR) are the final two permanent game modes. Both of these modes use the bout system to play. You can refill bouts by using credits or allowing them to refill over specified time periods. In MITB, you have 16 male superstar cards that you use to climb a ladder of AI opponent cards. As you progress up the ladder, you have fewer opponent cards to choose from. Each ladder, the card options have various briefcases worth 1 to 5 contracts. If you climb the ladder all the way and beat the last card all the briefcase contracts you won doubles. You can then cash in these contracts for MITB rewards.

Royal Rumble is like Ranked Mode as it is a PVP mode. Like MITB, it requires 16 cards to play. When you select a card you face off against your opponents card and the better card then controls the ring. If you lose, your opponent controls the ring. Controlling the ring allows you to choose which stat will be used next based off of the cards in your hand and the direction of it's arrow. If you continue to win matches as you control the ring you earn a point. The player who's card controls the ring at the end of the all the matches earns 3 points. The player with the most points wins and is rewarded with points for the RR leaderboard (like Ranked you can win credits) and 12 picks. If you lose, you still get 6 picks but 0 points.

There are a lot of various modes to play and enjoy. Some people play them all, others just play the ones they really enjoy. Ultimately, it's up to you as you have plenty to choose from. Below you will find a 5 minute video where I give a brief overview of what is mentioned above about the game modes:
