New to Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond? Wondering how to win early games, craft the best starter deck, or make sense of Super Evolutions? You’re in the right place.
This beginner-friendly guide breaks down everything you need to get started—from choosing a class to crafting efficiently as a F2P player. Let’s dive in.
🎴 Best Starter Decks (2025): Pick a Class and Stick to It
One of the first big decisions you’ll face is picking a class. While all seven have unique mechanics, some offer a smoother start for F2P players:
-
Swordcraft (Recommended) – Strong midrange deck with reliable tempo tools and long-term staples like Floral Fencer. Easy to learn, hard to master.
-
Forestcraft – Token-based aggro deck with a fast playstyle. Great for quick matches and inexpensive to upgrade (~6,000 vials).
-
Runecraft – Spell-heavy with flexible combos. Beginner-friendly builds like Dimension Shift are low-cost and rewarding.
-
Dragoncraft – Focuses on ramping to powerful late-game threats. Requires slightly more investment, but feels great once it snowballs.
💡 Pro tip: Pick one class and commit. Spreading resources across multiple classes will slow down your progress.
🌀 Super Evolution & Gameplay Basics
-
Available: Turn 6 (second player) / Turn 7 (first player).
-
Effect: Grants +3/+3, Rush, immunity during turn, and deals 1 damage when it destroys a follower.
-
Limit: You get 2 Super Evolution points per match.
You also get 2 Evolution Points (standard +2/+2, Rush), and Bonus Play Points as the second player to balance tempo.
🧠 Learning when to evolve (offense or defense) is one of the biggest skill gaps between new and experienced players.
🔄 Mulligan Strategy: Redraw Like a Pro
At the start of each match, you can redraw up to 4 cards. This is your first step to winning—so don’t sleep on it!
-
Always mulligan for early-game plays (1–3 cost).
-
Prioritize draw engines or synergy cards.
-
Don’t keep situational or high-cost followers unless they’re essential to your strategy.
Example: If you’re playing Forestcraft, look for cards that summon multiple followers early to swarm your opponent.
💰 Economy & Crafting: F2P Survival Guide
Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond has tightened its crafting economy, so be smart with your resources:
-
Crafting vials come from liquefying extra cards—only the 4th+ copy is eligible.
-
Legendary liquefy value: ~1200 vials. Don’t liquefy your only copies unless you’re 100% sure.
-
Focus on upgrading your main deck with core legendaries and gold cards before experimenting.
🎯 Stick to missions, tutorials, and story chapters early. They reward you with card packs, gold, and gems—no spending required.
🧠 Early Game Strategy: How to Win More
To consistently win in the early game, keep these fundamentals in mind:
-
Balance your curve – Include early (1–2), mid (3–5), and finishers (6–8+) for flexibility.
-
Know your win condition – Aggro wants to end by Turn 7, Control wants to stabilize and scale.
-
Use Bonus Play Points wisely – They let you break tempo and build early advantage.
-
Timing is everything – Save Super Evolution for board clears or lethal pushes.
🚫 Common mistakes to avoid:
-
Burning vial resources too early.
-
Misplaying your evolve timing.
-
Keeping high-cost cards in opening hand.
