How ultimates influence battle

  • The ultimate should feel like the card’s payoff moment.
  • Use the ultimate type to match the card’s theme.
  • Keep the name and visual effect consistent with the card’s identity.
  • Use boost-style ultimates for build-up cards and finisher-style ultimates for aggressive cards.
