| Name | Type | Description | Stats | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deck Building and Books | Core Loop | A run is defined by its book, the deck of cards carried into the dungeon. | Unit: Card Container: Book (run deck) Changes: Cards added and removed between encounters | Core system, active from the first floor of every run |
| Turn-Based Encounters | Combat | Fights resolve in turns rather than in real time. | Format: Turn-based Resources: Hand of cards, health, position Carry Over: Board state persists between turns | Core system |
| Evolution Pairings | Deck Synergy | Holding a weapon card and its designated passive card at full level lets the pair be cashed in for the evolved weapon. | Trigger: Weapon card and partner passive card both at max level Output: Evolved weapon card Example: Whip plus Hollow Heart becomes Bloody Tear | Core system, same pairings as the original arsenal |
| Wildcards | Signature Mechanic | The mechanic the game is subtitled after. | Class: Special card Effect: Bends the normal rules of a hand Role: Consistency and recovery | Signature system named in the game's subtitle |
| Gold and Purchases | Economy | Gold won in encounters is the currency that buys new cards and upgrades, so clearing more of a floor is directly converted into a stronger book. | Currency: Gold Earned From: Encounters and cleared floors Spent On: New cards and upgrades | Core system |
| Floors and Run Structure | Run Structure | A run is a descent through floors of the dungeon rather than a single timed survival map. | Structure: Floor-by-floor descent Death: Ends the run and discards the book | Core system |
| Persistent Unlocks | Meta Progression | Progress that survives a failed run: new survivors, new cards and new options are added to the pool as milestones are met, so a lost run still moves the account forward. | Persists: Survivors, cards and options Reset On Death: The run deck only | Core system |
