Kards
Kards are the core collectible of SLKARDS. This page covers their anatomy, the series they belong to, the rarity and modifier system, and the hidden [REDACTED] Almighty endgame tier.
Instances, not singletons
Section titled “Instances, not singletons”Each captured kard is its own instance. Kard #212 can exist in the game as many times as it spawns, and two instances of #212 can live in the same player’s inventory independently — with their own seals, artificial modifications, and attached items. Multiple players in the same server can each own their own instance of #212.
An instance is created when a spawn is captured. Once owned, it can be traded, sold, battled, or customised. It’s only destroyed by recycling, prestiging its series, or a wipe.
Kard anatomy
Section titled “Kard anatomy”In SLKARDS, kards are represented as Discord embed messages sent by the SLKARDS bot whenever a kard’s visual needs to be rendered. What shows up on the embed depends on context — a freshly spawned kard has less on it than one owned by a player mid-trade.
Always displayed when the embed is rendered:
- Kard ID — the numerical identifier (e.g.,
#257). - Series logo — the small series icon shown as the author icon.
- Kard name — the kard’s unique name (e.g., Finch and Raven).
- Series name — the series the kard belongs to (e.g., Quirky Cats).
- Rarity — shown as ⭐ emojis; more stars means higher rarity.
- Modifier — an attribute for kards that meet certain visual conditions (e.g., black-and-white kards display
WARNING: NEGATIVE ANOMALY DETECTED). Most kards have no modifier, so the field is omitted. - Kard description — a short text blurb (e.g., Finch and Raven are the protectors of SLK’s abode.).
- Kard image — the main visual; ties name, description, and identity together.
When a kard has an owner, extra fields layer on top of the base embed. This happens in battles, trades, sale listings, and similar contexts. Not every field has a value — if the owner hasn’t set a footnote, or the kard hasn’t survived a wipe, those fields are omitted.
- Player icon — the owner’s Discord profile picture.
- Owner — the owner’s Discord username (e.g., Owned by SLK).
- Kard footnote — customisable text on the embed footer (e.g., Once bitten, twice shy.).
- Seal o’ Wipes — badge showing how many wipes this instance has survived.
- Artificial / [REDACTED] Limitbreaker rarities, shown as purple or red stars (e.g., ⭐⭐
<red_star>``<purple_star>). - Artificial / [REDACTED] Limitbreaker modifiers overwrite the base modifier field (e.g.,
SEMI-NEGATIVEfor artificial,WARNING: LIMITBREAKER NEGATIVE ANOMALY DETECTED). - Custom rarity emojis replace the standard ⭐ with a cosmetic emoji (e.g., ✨✨).
- Equipped item descriptions appended as new lines (e.g., JUGGERNAUT SUIT EQUIPPED:
{kardName}feels protected against a future wipe.).
Kard series
Section titled “Kard series”Every kard belongs to a series — a themed grouping of related kards. Quirky Cats is cats; Full Throttle is cars; each series has its own visual identity and vibe.
There are 16 base series, each with 25 kards (Ultimate Arcana is the exception with 22), making up kards #0 – #396. A hidden [REDACTED] 17th series — the Almighty — sits above the base series with IDs -17 to -1.

Kard rarity
Section titled “Kard rarity”Kard rarity directly drives spawn chance, resale value, battle stats, and more. Each base series (except Ultimate Arcana) follows a 9-7-5-3-1 distribution from 1-star to 5-star.
| Rarity | UA series | Other series (×15) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-star | 5 | 9 × 15 = 135 | 140 |
| 2-star | 5 | 7 × 15 = 105 | 110 |
| 3-star | 7 | 5 × 15 = 75 | 82 |
| 4-star | 4 | 3 × 15 = 45 | 49 |
| 5-star | 1 | 1 × 15 = 15 | 16 |
| Total | 22 | 375 | 397 |
Kard modifiers
Section titled “Kard modifiers”Some kards have modifiers — visual treatments tied to their imagery.
| Modifier | Appearance |
|---|---|
| Animated | GIF-based kards that move. Exclusive to Ultimate Arcana. |
| Pixelated | Retro or 16-bit aesthetic. |
| Glitched | Corrupted, glitchcore look. |
| Negative | Black-and-white or inverted colours. |
| Polychrome | Holographic, rainbow finish. |
| Sketched | Hand-drawn or pencil sketch feel. |
Each base series (except Ultimate Arcana, which contains 22 Animated kards) has 3–5 modifier kards spread across rarities, for a total of 82 modifier kards.

[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”As described above, the Almighty kards serve as the end goal for SLKARDS. Collecting and prestiging all of them grants you the ability to create a custom series of your choice.
Live entry points
/slkards almighty— the personal Almighty dashboard. Shows which of the 17 Almighty you’ve unlocked, and surfaces the next available puzzle./slkards secret <category>— the actual unlock command. Each series has its own subcommand category; the puzzle handlers live underservices/almighty/./slkards hint— series hints if you’re stuck (rate-limited per-user).
Unlock gating
- Each Almighty has an
unlockedAlmightyflag on the player record that flips totrueonly after that series’ puzzle handler completes successfully. Prestiging the series is the prerequisite that opens the puzzle — solving the puzzle is what actually grants the kard. - The Omnipotence kard is the exception — it requires obtaining every other Almighty first.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Each series has its own unlock procedure. Most involve /slkards secret <category> followed by a series-specific input — a puzzle solution, a phrase, a quiz answer, a timer to wait out, or a battle to clear.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”After prestiging all Almighties, you can use the custom-series command once — allowing you to create one series to be added to the game.
| # | Rule | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Common theme | All kards in the series must be related by a shared theme (anime, music, etc.). |
| 2 | Sequel naming | If the series is a direct expansion to another existing series — custom or OG — its name must include a sequel number (e.g., Paranormal 2). |
| 3 | Kard count | The series must have exactly 25 kards. |
| 4 | Rarity distribution | One 5-star, three 4-star, five 3-star, seven 2-star, nine 1-star. |
| 5 | Modifiers | Between 3–5 modifiers allowed across the series. Mods must make visual sense (negative kards are black and white, polychrome kards are rainbow, etc.). |
| 6 | Battle neutrality | Custom kards can battle, but no series type advantages or disadvantages are awarded. |
| 7 | No prestige | Prestiging the series is not allowed. |
| 8 | Spawn weight | The spawn weight is identical to any other custom series — lower than the base series since they do not contribute to prestige progress. |
| 9 | Creator field | All kards from the series get an extra embed field with name = “Creator”, value = f”{creatorName}”. Placed under the description field. |
| 10 | Creator authorship | Creators choose the kards’ and series’ names, images, descriptions, and ID range. The ID range must not collide with any other custom or base series, and must fall between 397 – 9999. |
| 11 | Admin approval | Final approval is required by the server’s admins. NSFW content is not allowed on the main SLKARDS server. While NSFW content is allowed on unofficial servers, series with illegal content are deleted regardless of server, and the player is permanently banned from interaction with the bot. |
