Cardfight!! Vanguard ZERO is a digital card game for smartphones. An English version is confirmed to be released on April 9, 2020. A PC version was released through Shiftgames and only for Japanese users on March 30, 2020.
Details
This is a free-to-play game (with in-app purchases) which features a story mode as well as online fights against other players. It follows the original 2011 anime with Aichi and his friends.
ZERO Gameplay
Certain mechanics are changed from the Standard Fight Rules to a fastest interaction, including the following changes.
Cards
- Some cards have new abilities, either for rebalancing purposes or to adjust to the changes in game mechanics, as well as the card text was updated.
- Your deck must have 40 cards, where the only grade 0 card is your first vanguard, and you must have exactly thirteen cards for each grade 1-2-3.
- Grade 0 cards that would be called or added to the player's hand by a card effect are created from outside the deck similar to token units. Unlike tokens however, those grade 0 cards are treated as part of the player's deck for the remainer of the game so they can exist in areas outside the field.
- Because the deck no longer contains grade 0 cards besides the first vanguard, grade 3 cards are now trigger units, additionally the player can customize which trigger effect each of their grade 3 cards have during deck construction.
- Rather than restricting cards from being used, they are readjusted with a new erratum.
Fight
- G Assist is not available.
- The player who will take the first turn is decided automatically at random.
- The player taking the second turn draws two cards on their initial draw phase.
- There is a hand size limit of 9 cards. If a new card is put into your hand while you already have 9 cards, that card is discarded to the drop zone immediately.
- When your drive check reveals a trigger effect, that card is put into your drop zone after resolving its effects, or when is a normal unit, that card is put on the bottom of your deck.
- The guardian circle is removed, and cards have no shield value.
- "Intercept" forces the opponent to attack a rear-guard with Intercept before attacking any other unit. Some abilities allow players to ignore this mechanic.
- When your vanguard is dealt damage by your opponent's attack, that unit gets [Power]+5000 until end of turn, which is known as "Damage Shield". Any trigger effect from the damage check are automatically given to your vanguard.
- Only the vanguard can receive [Critical]+1 by a critical trigger effect.
- A Perfect Guard can only be activated by certain conditions.
