All 542 Cards and What They Do in Monster Train 2

Cards are the core of Monster Train 2, and every run is built from them. You pick a primary clan and an allied clan at the start, and your deck is made from their cards and Clanless cards. Cards come in several types, including champions, spells, units, equipment and rooms, and each one works in its own way. Once you see how those types fit together, it gets much easier to read any card and plan what to draft.

Monster Train 2 Card Types Explained

Monster Train 2 has several card types, and each plays a different role. Champions are the signature card of each clan, and starter cards are the basic cards each clan brings. Spells take effect when you play them, while units are the creatures that fight for you. Banner units are the only units you can play during Deployment, so they're worth keeping in mind when you plan how a battle opens.

Equipment attaches to a unit to give it new effects, and rooms are placed on a floor of your train to give that floor a lasting effect. Blights are a type of their own, and some can't be removed once they're in your deck. Scourges are a special case. You can't draft them or add them to your deck yourself, because enemies add them mid-combat as temporary blights that last only for that battle.

Clans and Clanless Cards in Monster Train 2

When a run begins, you choose a primary clan and an allied clan. Every card in your deck either belongs to one of those two clans or is Clanless, which means it isn't tied to any clan at all.

Every clan has spells, units, at least one equipment card and one room card, a consumable Tome spell, and a Railspike spell with a variable cost. Starter cards are common, but they can't be drafted, so you only see them in your starting deck.

Wurmkin arrived as a free clan with the same kinds of cards as the others. Free updates have also added cards to existing clans. The Lost Arsenal update brought new cards such as Smelted Treasure for Pyreborne and Dusk Mantle for Luna Coven, both of which were shown off before release.

Your Starting Deck in Monster Train 2

Every run starts with a ready-made deck. You begin with your primary clan's champion, several copies of the starter cards from both of your clans, and the basic Shield Steward and Spear Steward units.

Your deck grows as you climb covenant ranks. At covenant rank 1, a random set of cards joins: commons from your primary and allied clans, plus an uncommon Banner Unit from either clan. At covenant rank 5, unremovable Vengeful Shard blights are added to your deck.

Choosing the Pyre of Dominion as your Pyre Heart changes the start. The starter cards and basic stewards are removed, and you draft from a set of packs instead. Those packs offer uncommon cards from each of your clans and uncommon Banner Units from each of them.

How to Get Cards in Monster Train 2

Your cards come from rewards you earn as you move through a run, and where they come from changes over time. The packs after Ring 1 and Ring 2 mostly offer commons. After Ring 2, though, commons stop appearing in packs, apart from certain ones from Celestial Alcove events.

Later packs lean toward rarer cards. After Ring 3 and Ring 6, you get a Rare Pack of rare cards from your primary and allied clans. After Rings 4, 5 and 7, you get a Clan Pack and an Allied Clan Pack, which mostly offer uncommons with the occasional rare.

Shops fill in more. The Armory usually offers uncommon cards, with rare ones showing up now and then. The Merchant of Arms always offers an uncommon or rare equipment, an uncommon or rare room, and a rare equipment or room. Clanless equipment and rooms only come from those two shops, while clan equipment and rooms can also appear in regular packs.

Banner units follow their own route. They don't show up in regular card packs. You get them from Unit Banners and from a Banner Unit Pack that opens after the Arkion boss fight.

Card Rarity in Monster Train 2

Every card has one of three rarities: common, uncommon or rare. You can tell them apart by the gem in the middle of the card, just under the name. A white gem means common, blue means uncommon and purple means rare.

Champions are a special case, since the game technically treats them as a fourth rarity. Banner units are usually uncommon, though some are rare. Rarity is a quick way to gauge how easy a card is to find in offers.

Equipment and Rooms in Monster Train 2

Equipment attaches to a unit and gives it new abilities or effects, sometimes with extra Attack or Health. The bonus lasts for the rest of the battle, or until the unit dies or the equipment is replaced. Each unit can carry only one piece at a time, so playing a new piece on it swaps the old one out and its benefits are lost.

Two triggers tie into equipment. The Equipped trigger activates when an equipment card is played on a unit, and the Artificer trigger activates when one is played on any unit on the floor.

Rooms are played on any floor, and their effect stays there for the rest of the battle. Where you place one matters, since it only changes the floor it sits on.

How to Upgrade Cards in Monster Train 2

Upgrades depend on the kind of card you want to improve. Champions are upgraded at the Light Forge, and each champion has its own upgrade paths. Regular units are upgraded at the Merchant of Steel, while spells are upgraded at the Merchant of Magic. Certain Celestial Alcove events also offer upgrades for units and spells.

Equipment and rooms are upgraded at the Merchant of Arms. There you can apply the Deployable keyword to an equipment or room card, or merge two pieces of equipment into Merged Equipment, which combines their effects and Ember costs into one card. Both services cost 75 Gold.

FAQ

Can equipment be played on enemy units?

Equipment goes on your own units, with two exceptions: Penitent's Bloodsuit and Penitent's Deathsuit. The Bloodsuit makes the enemy wearing it take damage each time it shifts floors, and the Deathsuit gives that enemy Melee Weakness each time it shifts.

What are Graft units in Lazarus League?

In the Lazarus League clan, Graft units come with equipment already attached. When one dies, that equipment goes into your hand, so you can play it on another unit.

Which rarity shows up most in a run?

Across a run, uncommon cards come up most often in offers, followed by commons. Rare cards come up the least, so they're the hardest to pick up.

What do Shield Steward and Spear Steward do?

They're basic Clanless units that come with the usual starting deck. Shield Steward is the sturdy one, with far more health, while Spear Steward hits harder but goes down easily. The Clanless room Steward's Quarters gives both of them Multistrike 1 and extra Attack.
