¶ Getting Started with Dyno Battles
New here? Dyno Battles is a deck building card game where you collect cards, build a deck, and fight other players. Here’s all you need to get going.
This is a heavily simplified version of the complete Dyno Battles guide to help you get started. Once you’ve gotten the hang of things, we strongly recommend you go through the main guide as well! Nonetheless, welcome and, most importantly, have fun - we’ve put a lot of love into this game!
¶ 1. Grab some Dyno Coins
Coins are what you spend on card packs. Earn them for free every day:

Head to the Arcade page on your account. This is your home base for the shop, your cards, and the leaderboards.
Everyone starts out in the Light faction. Each faction has its own unique cards and abilities, and you can unlock more of them later using gems.

¶ 3. Get and equip cards
- Buy Card Packs from the Shop using your coins. Battle Pass owners also get bonus gems when opening packs.
- Manage and equip your cards from the Cards tab.
¶ Fusing cards
Pulled a duplicate? Don’t worry! Fusing lets you combine two copies of the same card into a single, stronger one.
- Open the Cards tab and look for a card you have two or more copies of.
- Hover over the fuse icon that shows up on it.
- Fuse them using gems, and you get one card at the next power level.
The catch is that both cards need to be at the same power level. Two power level 3 cards make a power level 4 card, but a level 3 and a level 2 can’t be fused.
Every power level multiplies the card’s stats. For example, a card at 3x power level has 3 times its base stats, so fusing is one of the best ways to power up your deck!
¶ 4. Battle!
Use /battle in Discord to start a fight. Once it begins, just sit back, your equipped cards do all the work.
- Battles are 100% free and you never lose coins.
- Winning earns you trophies and gems.
- The attacker always strikes first, so starting fights gives you an edge.
- You get enough stamina for 50 battles a day for free. Battle Pass owners get more, up to 300! Check yours anytime with /deck.

¶ Climbing the arenas
Every win earns trophies, and enough trophies move you up to a new arena. There are 10 in total, starting at the Sparring Halls and ending at the Depths of Hell. You get a gem reward every time you reach a new one, and the deeper you go, the bigger it gets!
A few things worth knowing:
- Each month is a new season with its own Leaderboard. When a season ends, the leaderboard resets so everyone gets a fresh shot at the top.
- Top players of each season earn exclusive medals.
- Your skill rating (ELO) carries over between seasons and decides your rank tier, which shows next to your name. Beating higher-rated players gives you more.
¶ Your cards level up on their own
Cards that fight in a battle earn XP. The more they fight, the higher their rarity (up to 7 tiers, shown as stars), which boosts their stats and unlocks new skills.
¶ Raids: team up against bosses
Want a bigger challenge? Use /raid in your server to open The Dungeon, where you and your friends fight powerful bosses together.
- Someone summons a boss and rallies a team. Everyone who joins the summon stakes 10 stamina, and the fight starts once enough people are in.
- After that, anyone in the server can join the fight for free. Each attack costs 1 stamina.
- Beat the boss before its enrage timer runs out, or it escapes and nobody gets rewarded.
- Everyone who dealt damage can collect trophies and a chance at a Prime card.
Prime cards are golden, more powerful versions of the Light faction heroes. They’re raid-exclusive, so they never show up in card packs. Duplicates can be fused just like normal cards.
Raids don’t give card XP, so keep battling in the arena to level up your cards too!
