Nine rule areas

Protocol rules

The Cartoria engine is shared; Protocol’s forces, cards, and names express the same rules in a different world.

Prepare your Squad before battle.

The realm

Protocol has its own cards, crystals, decks, rewards, and rankings. Your account stays the same across realms.

Cards and fusion

Units and Modules progress from level 1 to 5. Fuse five identical copies at one level to obtain the next.

Collection

Levels, stats, and compatibility are visible in the catalog. A listed or reserved card is not freely usable.

Squad and combat

An active Squad of five to ten Units fights in the chosen order. Attacks resolve automatically on the server.

Competitions

Ranked PvP, friendly battles, PvE, and Operations share the engine but have distinct conditions.

Progression

Missions and rankings reward participation under realm rules. Results remain within Protocol.

Boosters and shop

Data boosters add cards when opened. Purchases use crystals from this realm.

Market

Trades concern Protocol cards only and follow common market timing, price floors, and eligibility.

Rewards

Ranked Directives are free; crystals, boosters, and other rewards stay with the realm.
